It is always good to be rewarded for hard work.
Lipscomb Lady Bisons finally reaped the fruits of their labors Thursday night as they rolled to a 79-50 Atlantic Sun win over Mercer at Allen Arena.
"We really needed some tangible success," Lipscomb coach Frank Bennett said. "I felt like we had played pretty well our last four games, but we had certain areas where one or two things made a difference. Hopefully, we have some confidence."
The Lady Bisons offense was sparked by 60 percent success rate from the field, hitting 15-of-25. Junior guard Dana Carrigan, who set a career-high with 21 points, also made a career-high for 3-pointers made with five. It was the second game in a row that a Lady Bisons reached 21 points. Point guard Catie Woods had 21 points at Kennesaw State Saturday.
"It is good to see the lefty make some shots," Bennett said. "This year and last year she started out slow shooting the ball. She had good looks. She hit some shots early to get us going. Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come."
Center Katie Rollins scored a career-high 12 points, hitting four-of-four 3-point shots. She set new career marks for 3-pointers made and for attempts.
"Katie is a pretty good 3-point shooter," Bennett said. "She got some good looks."
Also in double figures for the Lady Bisons was center Penny Jones with 12 points. Jones also recorded her first double-double of the season as she added a game-high 11 rebounds which also equals her season high.
Guard Katie Foster also set a career high with six points, hitting both of her 3-point shot attempts. She also set a career mark hitting two 3-pointers in a game.
Mercer took control of the game early, leading 17-14 with 11:19 left in the first half. The Lady Bisons tied the game at 17-17 on a 3-point shot by Woods with 8:56 remaining before intermission. Jones tipped the ball in at 8:15 to put the Lady Bisons ahead 19-17. They did not give up their lead the rest of the way.
"The first seven or eight minutes we weren't playing too well," Bennett said. "We came out a little sluggish and got down.
"Tempo is a key thing for us. We have to move the ball. When we stand around we aren't nearly as effective. We finally got our tempo going and started making shots."
The Lady Bisons led 39-21 at the half. For the final 17 minutes of the second half they never led by less than 21 points. The Lady Bisons used 11 players. Each one scored at least two points.
"It was good to be able to breath during a game," Bennett said. "It seems like when we have won we have had to come from behind and barely squeak it out. It was good to have a little bit of a margin and be able to get everybody in the game."
The Lady Bisons hit 25-of-60 shots from the field, a 41.7 percent success rate. They also hit 14-of-19 shots from the free throw line, a 73.7 percent rate.
Mercer shot 34.9 percent from the field, hitting 22-of-63 attempts. They hit only two of 10 attempts from 3-point range, a 20 percent rate. Mercer attempted only six free throws, hitting four for a 66.7 percent success rate.
Nicole Leonard with 10 points was the only Mercer player in double figures. Sally Skeldon led in rebounding with seven.
The Lady Bisons held a slight 39-37 advantage on the boards.
The Lady Bisons are 2-3 in the A-Sun, 4-11 overall. Mercer slipped to 0-4 in the conference, 1-14 overall.
The home-stand continues to the Lady Bisons Saturday at 4 p.m. when Stetson visits Allen Arena.

New equipment is showing up to address the limitations of standard single-inverter systems. Conventional batteryless grid-tied systems generally use a single maximum power point tracker (MPPT) that is housed in the inverter to condition the energy coming from multiple PV modules. The process tracks one maximum power point from array input, varying the ratio between the voltage and current delivered to get the most power it can.
But each PV module has differences that will cause it to have a different MPP than its neighbors. This can be caused by manufacturing tolerances; dust and dirt; different module temperatures; partial array shading; and so on. The result is that the array's MPP becomes a compromise between all the intermodule variances, and additional power that may be available from some modules (i.e., the unshaded, cleaner, cooler ones) is lost.
One solution is distributed MPPT (or "distributed power harvesting") equipment—electronic boxes, wired to individual PV modules, to independently track each module's MPP. This hardware can manipulate the maximum available power to deliver either a higher current or voltage, depending on the configuration of the system (series versus parallel wiring). Included in the category of "distributed MPPT" equipment are specialized DC-to-DC converters, microinverters, and AC modules (i.e., a microinverter packaged with a PV module and UL listed as a single product).
To understand how these devices tap into power that might otherwise be lost, we need to understand a few rules about combining PV modules.
Series configuration. When modules are wired in series, the voltage of each module is summed to obtain the total voltage of the string. The string's current will remain that of a single module. For example, let's say we have ten 175-watt modules in series—each at 35 V and 5 A.
Theoretically, the array should have 350 V and 5 A, or 1,750 W. However, what if each module's amperage isn't identical to the others, as would result if a module was partially shaded or in a different plane of orientation? When we wire dissimilar modules together in series, voltage will be additive. However, the current will be just above the lowest current in the string.
Let's say there were nine modules at 35 V and 5 A, but partial shading on the last module reduced its output to 35 V and 3 A. The resulting array's power would be about 350 V and 3.2 A, or 1,120 W. Notice the loss in the entire string (1,750 ;W – 1,120 W = 630 W) is much greater than the loss from the underperforming module (175 W – 105 W = 70 W).
Although this example is simplified, and bypass diodes on the array would keep the losses lower (see "Bypassing the Bypass" for more detail), the goal in a series configuration is to keep all the currents as equal as possible (discussed later)—or consider parallel wiring.
Parallel configuration. When modules are wired in parallel, the current of each module is summed, with the array's voltage remaining that of a single module. When dissimilar modules are wired in parallel, the amps add up, and the voltages will average. Wiring the same 10 modules in parallel results in an array that will have 35 V and 50 A, or 1,750 watts. But now, with the last module producing 35 V and 3 A, the resulting array's output would be about 35 V and 48 A, or 1,680 watts—a significant improvement over the series scenario.
Microinverters and some DC-to-DC converters (such as eIQ Parallux vBoost or Tigo Energy's Module Maximizer EP series) accommodate parallel configuration. But instead of leaving the module and array voltage low, they first boost the voltage to several hundred volts, proportionally reducing the current. Then, the high voltage (which has also been converted into AC in the case of the microinverter) and low current is wired in parallel. The result is that the shaded module is still able to contribute its full power, without affecting the rest of the array.
Per-module MPPT & series configuration. A distributed MPPT device wired to each module facilitates tracking the highest power point (voltage and current) for each module, but it can also manipulate that extracted maximum voltage and current to reduce potential string losses.
Although each maximization technology is a bit different for DC-to-DC converters, they all use DC-to-DC conversion circuits ("DC boost" raises voltage and lowers current, while "DC buck" drops voltage to raise current). Some solutions lower the voltage output of the weak modules, raising their current to match that of the stronger ones. Others raise the voltage of the stronger modules, lowering the voltage of the weaker ones (buck/boost) to create a fixed string voltage and current.
In the example system, each module produced 35 V and 5 A (175 W), but the reality is that every module has a slightly different peak voltage and peak amperage. The MPPT adjusts the load for each module to find that per-module peak wattage. Then the maximum available power for the entire array (i.e., the sum of all the individual module's peak watts) can be harvested either in a parallel configuration, or in a series configuration by transforming the voltage to align the string current.
Although other factors, such as module production tolerance or temperature variances, can change a module's peak power output, let's continue with the simplified shading example (9 modules with 35 V, 5 A output, and one with 35 V, 3 A). The theoretical total watts available would be 1,680 W [(9 x 175 W) + 105 W]. Now, we can set the MPPT equipment output voltage to whatever we want and transform the voltage in the DC-to-DC device to set the current as well.
In the case of DC-to-DC converters using a series configuration, the output voltage can be set to one that is efficient for the centralized inverter. For example, the SolarEdge PowerBoxes are typically configured so that the total output voltage of the array (i.e. the inverter input voltage) is 400 V to work with their SolarEdge inverter. The output of each PowerBox is set to have a consistent amperage, and the summation of the voltages will equal 400 V.
Following our example: 1,680 watts ÷ 400 V = 4.2 A—this sets the current (amps) goal of each module/MPPT pair (for consistent amperage in series). Each PowerBox will alter output voltage to achieve 4.2 A. With the nine similar modules, voltage will be boosted to about 41.7 V (175 W ÷ 4.2 A = 41.7 V). The voltage of the PowerBox attached to the shaded module will be dropped to 25 V (105 W ÷ 4.2 A = 25 V).
A series configuration would yield 400 VDC at 4.2 A for 1,680 W [(9 x 41.7 V) + (1 x 25 V)], not including conversion losses, which are discussed later. Compare this to the 1,120 W that comes from this series configuration not using distributed MPPT equipment.
The values used in these examples are theoretical and do not account for the impact of bypass diodes (see "Bypass" sidebar). Explanations also are simplified. In reality, there are several ways to achieve this end result: For example, Tigo's equipment uses a technique called "impedance matching" via transistors, rather than directly alternating voltages.
Several of these products have added benefits, such as module-level monitoring (see the "Equipment" table). MPPT hardware attached to each individual module also can capture module performance data for monitoring each module in the array. Typically, this data is uploaded to the manufacturer's Web site via a separate systems communications box that is linked to an Internet gateway.
While module-level data monitoring is common for microinverter systems, when included with DC-to-DC converters, this feature also gives centralized inverter systems (for new systems or as a retrofit to older systems) the same capability. Monitoring each module's performance can help users quickly spot problems within the array. For example, a module with a bad diode (which can keep an entire section of a PV module from producing power) will be easy to spot. Without module-level monitoring, that problem would likely remain undetected.
Another feature available on some units is the ability to limit PV power at the array, remotely. Normally, PV arrays cannot be shut down when the sun is shining on them—even if you disconnect the balance-of-system equipment, high-voltage DC will still exist at the PV array, unless the modules are covered. With some distributed MPPT systems, commands can be issued to each box to disconnect each module from the next.
In systems utilizing DC-to-DC conversion, the voltage of an array normally operating at up to 600 VDC can be reduced to the voltage of a single module (from 17 to 70 VDC for crystalline PV modules), or less with some distributed MPPT equipment. The means for accomplishing this varies by product. For example, Tigo uses a "safety" button (via the on-site communications box or activated online, but the communications box requires AC power to do so). SolarEdge units are programmed to switch into "safety mode" whenever the inverter is shut off. In microinverter-based systems, shutting down the AC disconnect (or PV backfed breaker) automatically shuts down each microinverter and thus each module's AC output.
Forthcoming safety requirements could significantly impact the distributed MPPT market. A potential National Electrical Code requirement (slated for 2011) calling for "DC Arc Fault Circuit Protection" devices may be implemented. This protection device could be built into distributed MPPT equipment to limit the potential for arc faults in PV arrays. Placing them at the module level increases the protection for the rest of the PV circuit, as opposed to placing that protection further downstream (for example, at the inverter). In anticipation of this new requirement, a few distributed MPPT equipment manufacturers are already including this feature in their equipment (see table).
So, what are the drawbacks? The most obvious is increased up-front cost compared to the traditional centralized inverter approach. But does the increased energy production and access to additional features (monitoring and safety) pencil out with the additional equipment purchase and installation time? It depends on the PV system's specifics: the amount of array shading (the more shading, the more likely increased energy can be harvested with these devices); various orientations/tilt angles; or different models of PV modules within the same system. Chances are, if your system does not fit into these categories, the additional cost of the equipment will not balance out with the increased energy yield. However, the desire to add module-level system monitoring or the safety features included may be enough to tip the scales for some system owners. Several manufacturers are taking steps to integrate their MPPT devices into the modules to decrease overall system cost and installation time. National Semiconductor's SM3320 unit is one example.
Another consideration is that these devices use some energy to perform their functions. The question is, then, does the increased energy harvest exceed the energy lost in the device? If so, by how much? Again, the answer depends on the PV system's specifics, such as the amount of shading and any module mismatch. DC-to-DC converter efficiency ranges from about 97.0% to 99.6%. Parallel configurations are on the low side of that range, due to the significant voltage boosting that they must perform. To fairly compare these systems against microinverter-based ones, you'll also need to account for the centralized inverter's efficiency.
These products are new to the industry—there is not yet a track record. All claim to have performed some field-testing and "accelerated life testing" on their products, but it is difficult to predict if the thermal cycling these units endure will take a toll on their electronics—yet most carry 15- to 25-year warranties.
Currently available, UL-listed DC-to-DC converters and microinverters are compared in the table, including the following:
Sage solar advice is to install PV arrays on shade-free, south-facing rooftops. While good counsel, what about sites that have a little shading, multiple module types, or multiple orientations? The boom in residential grid-tied systems is pushing manufacturers to devise solutions, since shading, module variations, and using various roof planes are a reality for many installations. Distributed MPPT products are one solution, yet viability for your installation depends on the circumstances.
Another indicator that this technology is on the rise is the many more manufacturers—in addition to those listed here—that are in various stages of developing their own distributed MPPT products, including Enecsys, Exeltech, Greenray, SMA/OKE, Direct Grid, and SolarBridge. In the years to come, it will be interesting to see which products will ultimately be standing out in the sun—or rather, under the shade of the modules.

East Bengal paid the price for countless missed opportunities as Santosh Kashyap's side continue their impressive run of form...
Santosh Kashyap made three changes to his side from the last game against Pailan Arrows as Robin Gurung, who returned to fitness following a hamstring problem, A. Naresh and Keniston C. made it into the lineup. Trevor Morgan introduced Saumik Dey and Naoba Singh for Raju Gaikwad and Robert Lalthlamuana in his starting eleven.
The match was a tale of missed chances for East Bengal. Coming of a morale-boosting 4-1 thrashing of Salgaocar over the weekend, the visitors started the brighter side and should have been ahead early on. However, Penn Orji lost his footing at the vital moment in the penalty area and was dispossessed.
Their next opportunity came in the 38 minute, when after a flowing move, last game's hat-trick hero Edeh Chidi evaded the goalkeeper but ended up delaying his shot way too much and was eventually hustled off the ball.
In the 43rd minute, Naoba Singh delivered an inviting cross from the right but Robin Singh produced a very weak shot from six yards out, that lodged into the grateful hands of Rehensh TP in the ONGC goal.
As the Red and Gold failed to capitalise on their numerous clear chances both teams drew a blank going into the break.
Whatever was said in the ONGC dressing room during the breather, certainly seemed to work, as the hosts were a lot tighter in the second half denying the Kolkata-based outfit as many clear sights of goal as they had in the previous period.
But the better chances still came the way of the men from the east. Ishfaq Ahmed's pinpoint delivery was headed inches wide byRobin Singh with the keeper out of position, while Uga Okpara replicated the effort from a deep Mehtab Hussain corner.
Trevor Morgan's side would eventually pay for those squandered opportunities as they conceded of a rare but swift ONGC counter-attack by Katsumi Yusa.
With the result ONGC continue their fine run of form, making it 3 wins out of the last four in the league and they are now in 7th place on 16 points. Meanwhile, East Bengal lose more ground in the title race and they remain 3rd on 27 points.

|T/5 Oliver H. Ross, US Army
Oliver H. Ross was inducted and entered active service in the US Army on June 5, 1942 at Ft. Crook, Nebraska. The document actually says, Ft. Cook, but this appears to be a typo. He attended "B & C QM Corp" service school at Camp Pickett, Virginia and graduated August 22, 1942. This is a school for the Quartermaster Corps, which is logistics branch of the Army. Oliver eventually became a Mess Sergeant, MOS 824, so he was probably trained in food service skills at Camp Pickett. His civilian occupation was listed as Salesman Motor Vehicles 1-85.11
|Insignia of the 79th Infantry Division
Not much else is listed until April 7, 1944, when he departed the United States bound for the European, African, Middle Eastern Theater of Operations (EAMETO). He arrived April 16, 1944. When he was discharged, he was in Company A of the 2nd Armored Medical Battalion, which was part of the 9th Armored Division. I don't know if he was part of that organization the entire time he was in Europe. If he was in the 9th AD, than that tells a lot about his activities during the war. Update: In the comments below, it sounds like he was discharged from the 9thAD, but served most of his time in Company B, 304th Medical Battalion, 314th Infantry Regiment, 79th Infantry Division
However, I found a photo of him that conflicts with this information. Instead he is wearing the insignia of the 79th Infantry Division. His date of departure for Europe matches the date Wikipedia lists for the 79th ID's arrival in Europe so it seems logical that he might have been with that division at that time. The 79th ID arrived at Utah Beach, Normandy, 12–14 June, 1944, 6 days after D-day. Unfortunately the discharge document only lists the unit he was in at the time of his discharge ("Co. A, 2nd Armd. Med. Bn."). Since there is conflicting information, I can only speculate about his activities since I don't know when or why he transferred from the 79th ID to the 2nd Armored Medical Battalion.
|Oliver, "Somewhere in France"
According to his separation document, he was involved in the Normandy, North France, Rhineland and Central Europe campaigns.
Oliver left the EAMETO September 28, 1945 and arrived in the United States October 9, 1945. He was discharged as a Staff Sergeant on October 14, 1945 at Camp Blanding Florida. He received the EAMETO Medal and a Good Conduct Medal. Total foreign service, 1 year, 6 months and 3 days. Total Continental service, 1 year 10 months and 7 days.
Update: Sounds like he was not in the 9th AD except to be discharged, so I've lined out the following section to avoid confusing the issue. I'd delete it completely, but that's considered trying to "cover-up" a mistake in the blogging world.
That's pretty much all I know about Oliver H. Ross's WWII Army service, but I'll keep an eye open if I find anything else.

The wait is finally over!
Today, the world will be watching the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony. An estimated 1 billion people are expected to tune in.
To watch the ceremony sure to celebrate all things British, complete with the Queen, William Shakespeare, James Bond, and Paul McCartney, tune to NBC. The network will be broadcasting the ceremony on a tape delay so it will begin at 7:30 p.m. EDT, 6:30 p.m. CDT, and 7:30 p.m. PDT.
Danny Boyle's "Isles of Wonder" opening ceremony show will celebrate the green and pleasant land of meadows, farms, cottages, village cricket matches and bird song, but also dwell on Britain's darker industrial past, reports the Associated Press. That's not a surprise from a movie director who depicted Scottish heroin addicts in "Trainspotting" and Indian poor in "Slumdog Millionaire."
Though the opening ceremony will not be available for live streaming on nbcolympics.com tonight, the website will be chock-full of coverage Saturday.
Archery, badminton, basketball, beach volleyball, boxing, cycling, equestrian, fencing, men's gymnastics, handball, judo, rowing, shooting, swimming, table tennis, tennis, volleyball, and weightlifting all begin Saturday. Coverage of soccer will continue. They will all be streamed live on nbcolympics.com (though a cable subscription is required to watch). Check the site for specific times.
The highlights for tomorrow's lineup include the men's 400-meter individual medley in swimming, where Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte will go head to head for the first time in these games. Men's gymnastics should also feature an exciting lineup as Bronx-born John Orozco and Cuban-American Danell Leyva begin their quest for gold.

NEW YORK -- Closer Jonathan Papelbon watched the Phillies' three-run lead in the ninth inning evaporate from the bullpen, unable to help his team in his usual role. Starter Cole Hamels watched the Mets' rally from the clubhouse, as his stellar performance was negated.
Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Mets in 11 innings, one of the Phillies' most excruciating of the season, left manager Ryne Sandberg searching for stronger relief pitching.View Full Game Coverage
Ruben Tejada hit a game-winning single to left-center with the bases loaded in the 11th inning off reliever Jeff Manship. Chris Young scored the winning run.
Entering the bottom of the ninth inning, the Phillies seemed ready to head back to Philadelphia with a three-game sweep. Their lead was 4-1, but Papelbon was unavailable after recording saves in the two previous games. Papelbon said he told Sandberg he was sore in a number of places -- his neck, shoulders, back.
"It's just kind of a product of the last couple games getting up in the bullpen, the tie game a bunch of times the other night," Papelbon said. "I've been through that situation plenty of times in my career."
Papelbon said he would be ready to pitch Tuesday when the Phillies face the Angels. Sandberg said it was important to listen to his closer and give him rest, despite the frustrating end to Sunday's game.
"He needed a day off," Sandberg said. "When guys are used numerous times, they need their days off."
Sandberg went with Antonio Bastardo as his closer Sunday. But Bastardo, having trouble with his command, promptly gave up a Daniel Murphy two-run homer to right. Chris Young lined a double off the left-field wall to put the tying run in scoring position.
"When you miss up, that's what's going to happen," Bastardo said. "I missed my pitch. I missed it and they made me pay for it."
Sandberg gave the ball next to Roberto Hernandez, who was the starter in Friday's win and threw 99 pitches. Young came home with the tying run on Juan Lagares' grounder to short.
The bullpen's struggles have been emblematic of what has gone wrong this season. Sandberg said the team doesn't need to bring in more relievers at this point. He asserted that the relievers on the roster had to perform better.
Starting pitching was not the issue Sunday, as Hamels had the upper hand against the Mets. Through seven innings, Hamels was poised, resourceful and showed his stamina. His only blemish came in the first inning when Eric Young Jr. scored on a single from David Wright.
The Mets continued to put pressure on Hamels, always seeming to be one hit away from scoring. But the left-hander consistently had an answer. On a career-high 133 pitches, Hamels finished with a season-high 10 strikeouts. At one point, the Mets went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
"Sometimes, you just have to battle, and that's kind of what happened," Hamels said of his strikeouts. "I don't know if my body language was probably the best at times, just because of the fustration that's transpired over the past couple of games, with not being able to get ahead of guys."
But what could have been Hamels' 100th career win turned into a tough loss when the bullpen couldn't keep the Mets down.
The Phillies' offense continued to be sporadic, scoring its first run on back-to-back doubles by Wil Nieves and Cody Asche in the second inning.
Ryan Howard, known for his power, flashed his modest speed and agility in the fourth. Howard reached first base on an infield single, his only hit of the game. Then, to the surprise of many, he maneuvered, eluded and slid by Anthony Recker's tag at home plate to give the Phillies the lead on Domonic Brown's fielder choice.
"He made a heck of a slide to get in there safe," Sandberg said.
Marlon Byrd, who doubled after Howard's hit, scored when Nieves grounded out to third. In the ninth inning, Jimmy Rollins scored on a triple to right by Chase Utley to make it a 4-1 game.
At that moment, the Phillies were three outs away from a win that would have moved them to .500 at 18-18. The Mets' dramatic comeback, however, left the Phillies disappointed.
"It would have ended a tough start of a road trip and ended on a great note," Sandberg said. "With a three-run lead, that's a tough pill to swallow."

Relson Gracie Promoted to Redbelt
This last Saturday, April 6, 2013, Rorion Gracie promoted his younger brother Relson to 9th Dan Redbelt in Graice Jiu Jitsu. Following the promotion ceremony at Kaiser High School, Relson led a seminar for those in attendance.
I did a search and didn't see this anywhere else on the forum, so if someone else did post it, don't scream "F you noob" at me. If no one has posted this earlier, then WTF? The second oldest son of Helio gets promoted to redbelt and some blue belt lurker is the first to break the news on Bullshido?
Admin note: Admonishment received. We will be doing the Shrimp of Shame across the floor in shame as pennance.

Policy: VII.C.1x3 inactive
Issued: July 1, 1996
Latest Revision: October 15, 2004
1.0 Purpose
This policy outlines the rules for purchasing goods and services from outside vendors as well as the specific purchasing methods that must be used in particular cases.
2.0 Policy [Top]
2.1 Introduction
Transactions charged to University accounts must be made in accordance with Federal and State laws and Federal, State and University regulations, policies, and procedures.
University resources may be used for official University of Virginia purchases only. All purchases of goods or services made with University funds must be necessary, reasonable, and directly related to the goals and mission of the University. Under no circumstances may University financial resources be used for personal expenditures.
University employees who make an unauthorized purchase may have their purchasing responsibilities suspended or revoked, may face additional administrative disciplinary action including termination of employment, and may be held personally liable for any charges incurred.
State law requires that specific types of purchases be handled in different ways to ensure the integrity of the procurement process. The main factors determining how a procurement is handled are the anticipated dollar amount of the purchase, the type of good or service being sought, and the time frame in which a particular item or service must be obtained.
2.2 Purchase of Goods and Services: up to $4,999.99
It is expected that departments will seek the maximum value for each expenditure and that no excessive or unnecessary purchases will be made.
Departments may use a Limited Purchase Order (LPO) to purchase non-restricted goods and services costing less than $5,000 directly from a vendor. An LPO may not be used, however, to make purchases on Medical Center accounts or to purchase any item on the list of restricted goods or services (see below).
Departments may not split a purchase costing $5,000 or more into a series of smaller individual purchases for the purpose of circumventing the rules governing competition. They also may not place multiple orders with a non-contract vendor that exceed $5,000 during any 12-month period.
The University Purchasing Card may be used to purchase goods and services up to the individual card holder's limit which may be set as high as $4,999 for individual transactions. The Purchasing Card may not be used, however, to purchase any item on the list of restricted goods and services (see below) regardless of amount. For information on the University Purchasing Card, please see Use of the University Purchasing Card Policy VII.C.3 and Procedure 7-105.
When a Purchasing Unit makes or anticipates direct purchases of more than $5,000 in goods and/or services from a single non-contract vendor within a 12-month period, the purchases may no longer be made by the department on a Limited Purchase Order (LPO) or the Purchasing Card, but must be made by Procurement Services from a requisition submitted by the department.
2.3 Restricted Goods and Services in Any Amount
|The following goods and services are restricted. Departments
seeking to purchase any of the items on this list will have to use a Purchase
Requisition or Demand Payment as indicated:
|Demand Payment*
|Purchase Requisition
|Purchase Requisition
|Demand Payment*

|Demand Payment*

|Purchase Requisition
|Purchase Requisition
|Demand Payment*
|Purchase Requisition
*The complete Demand Payment list with spending limits may be found on the
Procurement Services web site or in "Use of the Payment Voucher and Demand Payments", Policy VI.F.4.
Procurement Services buyers must seek formal competition when departments want to purchase goods or services costing $5,000 or more.
For purchases of goods and services from $5,000 to $49,999.99, departments typically submit a Purchase Requisition to Procurement Services. Procurement Services' Buyer Managers assign specific Purchase Requisitions to individual Buyers. If the Purchase Requisition is consistent with University policy, Procurement Services' Buyers will turn the Purchase Requisition into a Purchase Order, determine the appropriate method of competition required in a particular case, and contact prospective vendors to obtain pricing and other information.
Departments may recommend that Procurement Services buy the requested goods or services from a particular vendor. Moreover, departments themselves may even solicit bids for the purchase of goods and services that cost between $5,000 and $49,999.99.
For purchases costing between $5,000 and $29,999.99, the competition requirement may be met by soliciting three bids by telephone, in writing, or by informal on-site bidding.
For purchases costing between $30,000 and $49,999.99, the competition requirement must be met by soliciting four quotes in writing.
Please see Procedure 7-102 for instructions on Preparing Purchase Requisitions.
Exceptions to the competition requirement are made in the following cases:
- Goods and Services on the Demand Payment List
(see Use of the Payment Voucher and Demand Payments, Policy VI.F.4)
- Sole Source purchases (see below)
- Emergency procurements (see below)
2.5 Purchases of Goods and Services: $50,000 and Above
For purchases of goods and services costing $50,000 or more, Procurement Services solicits a minimum of six bids in writing through either the Invitations for Bid or Requests for Proposal process.
The Invitations for Bid (IFB) process is used when price is the sole basis of selection. An IFB lists the precise specifications and all contractual terms and conditions for a planned purchase.
The Requests for Proposals (RFP) process is used when price is not the sole basis of selection. An RFP describes all mandatory terms and conditions, describes in general terms what will be purchased, and specifies the criteria which will be used to evaluate proposals.
All Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Requests for Proposal (RFP) are posted on the Procurement Services web site and the Virginia Business Opportunities (VBO) web site for a minimum of 10 calendar days. Any vendor can view any IFB or RFP and submit a bid or proposal.
Departments should allow six weeks to process non-emergency procurements costing $50,000 or more.
Note: If an emergency occurs during other than business hours and procurement action is taken, the department should notify Procurement Services the next business day.All Emergency procurements of $50,000 or more are posted on the Procurement Services web site.
Sole Source means the item desired is available from only one vendor. Sole Source procurements are justified when only one firm can satisfy the University's requirements. The department must provide written justification when requisitioning a Sole Source purchase of $5,000 or more. For purchases in excess of $10,000 Procurement Services conducts a market survey and reference checks. Procurement Services reports Sole Source purchases in excess of $10,000 to the Secretary of Education on a quarterly basis.
The ability of a particular vendor to deliver a good or service in the least amount of time is not a valid basis upon which to process a purchase as a Sole Source procurement.
A purchase restricted to a stated brand available from more than one distributor
or manufacturer is a proprietary purchase. Such a purchase restricts the
requirements to the brand name and solicits bids from vendors selling that
brand name product. Proprietary purchases are not Sole Source purchases;
competition is still possible.
All sole source purchases of $50,000 or more are posted on the Procurement Services web site for 10 days.
See Procedure 7-102 for instructions on preparing a Purchase Requisition as a Sole Source procurement.
All purchasing related contracts, including vendor-supplied contracts and contract renewals, must be signed by the Director of Procurement Services. If an individual University employee signs a contract he or she may be held personally liable for its terms and conditions. To purchase goods or services with vendor-supplied agreements, regardless of dollar amount or type of purchase, complete a Purchase Requisition and forward the requisition and vendor-supplied agreement to Procurement Services.
Procurement Services recommends the establishment of a standing order for goods or services purchased on a regular basis. Standing orders can be established based on time frames or dollar limits.
Departments should work directly with vendors on merchandise returns and credits. Departments should notify Procurement Services if they experience difficulties in returning items.
Procurement Services encourages the rotation of small dollar orders among vendors and encourages the use of minority vendors for small dollar orders (Reference Policy VII.C.4).
If departments experience problems with vendors they are encouraged to call a buyer in Procurement Services immediately. Procurement Services can help build a legally defensive case from the outset if it appears the problem may escalate.
Departments are under no obligation to meet with vendors, and are encouraged to refer vendors to Procurement Services.
Procurement Services follows the National Association of Educational Buyers Code of Ethics. Departments are asked to follow this Code in dealing with vendors. Following this Code while conducting purchasing transactions helps ensure that vendors are provided fair access to the University's business and that all purchases are conducted in an ethical manner.
Give first consideration to the objectives and policies of my institution.
Strive to obtain the maximum value for each dollar of expenditure.
Decline personal gifts or gratuities.
Grant all competitive suppliers equal consideration insofar as State
or federal statute and institutional policy permit.
Conduct business with potential and current suppliers in an atmosphere
of good faith, devoid of intentional misrepresentation.
Demand honesty in sales representation whether offered through the
medium of a verbal or written statement, an advertisement, or a sample
of the product.
Receive consent of originator of proprietary ideas and designs before
using them for competitive purchasing purposes.
Make every reasonable effort to negotiate an equitable and mutually
agreeable settlement of any controversy with a supplier; and/or be willing
to submit any major controversies to arbitration or other third party
review, insofar as the established policies of my institution permit.
Accord a prompt and courteous reception insofar as conditions permit
to all who call on legitimate business missions.
Cooperate with trade, industrial and professional associations, and
with governmental and private agencies for the purposes of promoting
and developing sound business methods.
Foster fair, ethical and legal trade practices.
Counsel and cooperate with NAEB members and promote a spirit of unity and a keen interest in professional growth among them.
National Association of Educational Buyers Adopted July 1, 1985.

Before we start to define what IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository, WSRR in short, let's take a look at why we need registry in an SOA environment.
SOA always has a provider and a consumer. Quite obviously, the provider provides the service and the consumer consumes what the provider is offering. But, there is a silent player in the SOA cycle, and it is called as a Service Registry. The service registry is where, as a provider we can publish information about our services and as a consumer we can find information about services that are being published by other providers. WSRR is a service registry. But more precisely, WSRR is a registry and a repository.WebSphere Service Registry and Repository includes:
- A service registry that contains information about services, such as the service interfaces, its operations, and parameters
- A metadata repository that has the robust framework and extensibility to suit the diverse nature of service usage
You can use WebSphere Service Registry and Repository to store information about services in your systems, or in other organizations' systems, that you already use, that you plan to use, or that you want to be aware of. For example, an application can check with WSRR just before it invokes a service to locate the most appropriate service that satisfies its functional and performance needs. This capability helps make an SOA deployment more dynamic and more adaptable to changing business conditions.
So then what is UDDI? UDDI doesn't have the capabilities to associate metadata and relationships with the service descriptions. Because UDDI is not a repository with fine grained search of artifacts, search-able metadata must be extracted from referenced artifacts and mapped to the UDDI data model to be able to be queried. That brings us to the fact that UDDI lacks repository capabilities that prevents UDDI from actually storing and owning the artifacts, and thus from acting as a master copy of records of the service artifacts.
One of the key features of WSRR is the role it plays in end-to-end SOA Governance. WSRR supports governance of service metadata throughout the life-cycle of a service from its initial publication in the development space to deployment to service management.
With such capabilities, there are certain aspects of an SOA that WSRR doesn't address. The two most common misconceptions about WSRR is that it can be substituted for a content management system and it can act as an enterprise wide metadata repository. This is not a limitation of WSRR. WSRR is meant to cater to services and governance rather than an enterprise level content management system.
A good place to get started about WSRR would be the redbook - WebSphere Service Registry and Repository Handbook

Seven in ten Americans think that global warming is happening, and almost three in five think that, if it is happening, it is mostly owing to human activity, but only about one in seven know that nearly all climate scientists agree that global warming is happening as a result of human activity. Those were among the key findings of Climate Change in the American Mind: March 2018 (PDF).
"The Utah State Board of Education greenlit plans Thursday [April 12, 2018] to begin drafting new school science standards, a process likely to touch on divisive issues like climate change and evolution," according to the Salt Lake Tribune (April 13, 2018).
Even despite public controversies over the inclusion of climate change in state science standards, "Americans overwhelmingly support teaching our children about the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to global warming — in all 50 states and 3,000+ counties across the nation, including Republican and Democratic strongholds," according to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication (April 11, 2018).

I have been searching for awhile but I did not locate the answer to what I am trying to do.
First off, I am applying a bit of CSS to the div#wrapper so that the body can be made into an adjustable fade. The problem is that I haven't located the appropriate CSS that will make the TEXT elements 100% visible.
Here is the code that I inserted into the 'CSS Inserts' box.
div#wrapper { background-color:Black; -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)"; filter: alpha(opacity=50); opacity:.5; }
So, is there a way to make the text show up at 100% ?

RVDA Convention Resources Handy for Dealers
August 30, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on RVDA Convention Resources Handy for Dealers
To allow dealers to get the most out of the event, the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA) has put together useful resources for those planning to attend the 2013 RV Dealers International Convention/Expo to be held Sept. 30- Oct. 4, in Las Vegas at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino. The advance registration deadline is today (Aug. 30), according to a news release.
Between the free mobile app for the convention, the RVDA website, and the September issue of RV Executive Today, dealers already have numerous ways to access the latest and most detailed information about the Convention/Expo even though the event is a month away. Meeting times and locations, workshop titles, speaker profiles, and even workshop previews are available now. Dealers can arrive in Las Vegas ready to learn. They can register for the event knowing everything that will be available to them and their staff.
"We're trying to get as much information out prior to the start of the convention so people can show up prepared," said RVDA President Phil Ingrassia. "We want this to be the most worthwhile meeting for our attendees, bringing them the most return for their investment."
Since more dealerships are bringing more personnel to the convention in 2013, all the advance information allows teams to divide up the many program opportunities to maximize their ability to cover all the important topics and events. And with every exhibitor already listed on the website and app along with contact information, it's possible to set up meetings in advance with key vendors who will be on site in Las Vegas.
To encourage dealers to bring more staff to the convention, the registration rate has been kept low, with discounts for additional staff and more opportunities to learn, through Vendor Training +plus. However, registration discounts end today.
Themed "Education: Your Competitive Advantage," the convention program has been enriched to reflect the importance of training and education for all dealership staff.
The 2013 convention will also feature an exhibit hall filled with the RV industry's top companies offering products and services to help dealers improve profitability. RVDA's Partners in Progress Brand Committees will also meet to work on important dealer-manufacturer issues on Monday, Sept. 30 and Tuesday, Oct. 1.
Companies interested in partnership and sponsorship opportunities and exhibitor information can contact Julie Newhouse at (703) 591-7130 ext. 103 or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Visit www.rvda.org and www.rvlearningcenter.com to register for the convention and for regular updates. You can also get convention updates on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.

Staples family friend and music publicist Bill Carpenter says Staples died Thursday at her Chicago home after suffering from Alzheimer's disease for the last decade.
The Staples Singers began as a way for Roebuck "Pops" Staples to entertain his family, which included five children - Cleotha, known as "Cleedi," Pervis, Yvonne, Mavis and Cynthia. He taught the children gospel songs and accompanied them on his guitar. Two decades later they became unlikely hit makers for the Stax label.
Staples was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with her family in 1999 and received a lifetime achievement award from the Grammys in 2005.

Bulldogs Excel in 3,000-Meter Run
NEW HAVEN, Conn-This Saturday, the Yale women's track and field team braved a blizzard to travel to Princeton, N.J. for its annual meet with fellow Ivies Princeton and Harvard. Though the Bulldogs finished in third, the meet was one to remember for a few exceptional runners, including freshman Mackenzie Mathews. In the finals of the 60-meter hurdles, Mathews placed first with a time of 8.94, marking a new personal best. When asked about how she prepared for her impressive race, Mathews said, "Personally, I focused on my pre-meet mindset today by listening to (a) meditation podcast before I raced. Managing nerves is a major part of competing and combined with a hard season of training, it paid off for me well today."
Also competing in the finals of the 60-meter hurdles was senior Dakota McCoy (9.09), and junior Amanda Snajder (9.26). Sophomore Elle Brunsdale finished the preliminary race in 10.12, marking a new season best.
In the day's field events, many competitors met with success, including freshman Karleh Wilson, who has already broken the school record in the shot put this season. In the weight throw, Wilson's mark of 14.55m (47'8.83") earned her a new personal best and the seventh spot on Yale's top-ten list of all-time bests. She came in fourth place, earning points for the team. Two other Bulldogs, senior Antonia Renker and freshman Taylor Eldridge have already claimed their spots on the top ten list this season. At this weekend's meet, Renker gave a throw of 14.18m (46'6.27") and Eldridge made a mark of 12.29m (40'3.86"). Wilson also competed in the shot put, placing second with a distance of 13.35m (43'9.59"). In the same event, Eldridge met with similar success with a new personal best mark of 12.27m (40'3.07"). With her score, she will join Wilson on Yale's top ten list in the sixth position.
Junior Teresa Parent nabbed season best marks in both the long and triple jumps. In the long jump, she earned points for her team by finishing in second place with a leap of 5.23m (17'02"). Sophomore Elle Brunsdale was fifth with a mark of 5.16m (16'11.25"), a new season best. Snajder also competed, jumping 4.98m (16'04.25"). In the triple jump, Parent was fifth with her second season best time of the day, 10.93m (35'10.50"). In fourth was junior Kristen Proe (10.94m or 35'10.75), while sophomore Alisha Jordan led the team with her second place finish and a mark of 11.57m (37'11.50").
Yale's two competitors in the pole vault, sophomore Emily Urciuoli and freshman Renee Vogel, finished side by side, both coming up with marks of 3.40m (11'01.75). This distance is a new personal best for Vogel. A pair from Yale also matched one another in the high jump, with both freshman Megan Toon and Amanda Snajder bounding a distance of 1.51m (4'11.50").
Several personal best times were claimed in the running events as well. Freshman Sydney Cureton's new personal best time of 7.87 earned her fifth place in the finals of the 60-meter dash. Her teammate, junior Kelsey Lin, also ran a personal best, finishing in 8.01.
Two team members competed in the 1-mile run, seniors Nihal Kayali (5:00.28), and Caitlin Hudson (5:05.51). Of Yale's five participants in the 400-meter dash, two scored points for the team. Sophomore Emily Cable, just off a record-breaking performance in the same event last week, placed second with her time of 57.15. Senior captain Allison Rue likewise scored in the event, placing forth and running a time of 59.21. Senior Jenna Poggi (59.69), junior Jenna Hessert (1:02.23), and freshman Grace Brittan (1:02.50) also competed. Only one Bulldog participated in the 800-meter run, freshman Shannon McDonnell. She placed fifth with a time of 2:16.22. In their second events of the day, Emily Cable and Sydney Cureton finished the 200-meter dash in 25.86, and 26.56, respectively.
The team hit a high mark at the meet during the 3,000-meter run, in which six of Yale's seven participants gained new personal bests. In fourth place was freshman Emily Stark with a time of 9.50.24. She was narrowly trailed by her teammate and fellow freshman Elizabeth McDonald, who finished in 9.56.20. Finally, claiming her best time of two years, sophomore Anna Demaree finished the race in an impressive 9.57.35. All three of these Bulldogs also qualify to compete in the ECAC Championships coming up this month. Though senior Jennifer Donnelly (10.12.71) and freshman Isabel Amend (10.26.16), missed this mark, both ran the best races of their careers in the event. Senior Tori Flannery also competed, finishing in 10.30.98, just ahead of sophomore Hannah Alpert, who claimed her best time to date of 10:37.92.
Yale's 4x400-meter team, including Rue, McDonnell, Lin, and Cable finished in third with a time of 3:56.07. In the 4x800-meter event, Kayali, Hudson, Poggi, and freshman Anna-Sophie Harling secured the second place position, finishing in 9:40.34.
After enduring a tough rivalry this weekend, the Bulldogs will take a week off before heading to the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships later this month. Though exhausted from today's meet, the team has trained hard for the championship season. As Mackenzie Mathews said of the near future, "We faced some tough competition today and we are excited and geared up for Heps."

The placenta is the link between you and your baby. When the placenta does not work as well as it should, your baby can get less oxygen and nutrients from you. As a result, your baby may:
- Not grow as well
- Show signs of fetal stress (this means the babys heart does not work normally)
- Have a harder time during labor
Alternative Names
Placental dysfunction; Uteroplacental vascular insufficiency; Oligohydramnios
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The placenta may not work as well due to pregnancy problems or habits in the mother, such as:
- Diabetes
Going past your due date
- High blood pressure during pregnancy (called
- Medical conditions that increase the mothers chances of blood clots
- Smoking
- Taking cocaineor other drugs
Certain medications can also increase the risk of placenta insufficiency.
In some cases, the placenta:
- May have an abnormal shape
- May not grow big enough (more likely if you are carrying twins or other multiples)
- Does not attach correctly to the surface of the womb
- Breaks away from the surface of the womb or bleeds
A woman with placental insufficiency usually does not have any symptoms.
Signs and tests
The health care provider will measure the size of your growing womb (uterus) at each visit, starting about halfway through your pregnancy.
If your uterus is not growing as expected, apregnancy ultrasound will be done. This test will measure your babys size and growth, and assess the size and placement of the placenta.
Other times, problems with the placenta or your babys growth may be found on a routine ultrasound that is done during your pregnancy.
Either way, your doctor will order tests to check how your baby is doing. The tests may show that your baby is active and healthy, and the amount of amniotic fluid is normal. Or, these tests can show that the baby is having problems.
If there is a problem with the placenta, you and your doctor must decide whether to induce labor.
You may be asked to keep a daily record of how often the baby moves or kicks.
The next steps your doctor will take depend on:
- The results of tests
- Your due date
- Other problems that may be present, such as high blood pressure or diabetes
If your pregnancy is less than 37 weeks and the tests show that your baby is not under too much stress, your doctor may decide to wait longer. Sometimes you may need to get increased rest on your side. You will have tests often to make sure your baby is doing well. Treating high blood pressure or diabetes may also help improve the babys growth.
If your pregnancy is over 37 weeks or tests show your baby is not doing well, your doctor may want to deliver your baby. He or she may induce labor, or you may need a
Expectations (prognosis)
Problems with the placenta can affect the developing babys growth. The baby cannot grow and develop normally in the womb if it does not get enough oxygen and nutrients.
When this occurs, it is called
Getting prenatal care early in pregnancy will help make sure that the mother is as healthy as possible during the pregnancy.
Smoking, alcohol, and other illicit drugs can interfere with the babys growth. Avoiding these substances may help prevent placental insufficiency and other pregnancy complications.

Post subject: Press Junket for The Perfect Storm?
Thanks to Annie for posting the Boston Herald article. I found another one (http://www.countingdown.com/perfectstorm/news/perfectstorm-7534.html) that says the press junket will be in Gloucester. Does anyone have the details yet of exactly when and where it will take place because I'd love to go if I can get more details.

According to the Boston Globe, 'Stars
including George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg are coming back to Harbor Point to meet national media at the site of some of the filming June 17. Warner Bros. has reserved all of Gloucester High School in case of rain.'
read the rest at:
Oh if you want a souvenier (sp?) of the movie, they're auctioning one of the boats on E-Bay.
PS there'll be a press release a couple days before, so look out for them in news search section of any search engine. I prefer Yahoo or excite, but they all get the same things.

it says press junket will start this weekend begining on June 16
and for all you who cant be there (like me!) the site is going to have pictures and video from the event~just keep checking back. hey-maybe we'll get to see mark w/ short hair!
also there's a link to
which has some pics on set and an article about the making of TPS. here's a snippet that i liked:
"George Clooney stories were perhaps the most talked about. Many first hand accounts tell of "George sightings" in the downtown bars and restaurants. It seems that George was researching his role as captain Billy Tyne and wanted first hand knowledge of the Gloucester local scene. Ever the gracious star, George even paid the dinner bill of a group of women once he had heard there was a birthday at the table. During filming, added bonuses were the daily sightings of George playing basketball just outside his trailer. He played every day around lunchtime. (click on Star's photos to see a shot) with crew members and even some area school kids. Women aged 15 to 50 could be found waiting for a chance to get a photo or perhaps an autograph. George signed autographs whenever approached, but Mark Wahlberg really got into it. The gregarious star came to the sidelines almost every day at lunch and signed whatever was presented to him--photos, clothing, even skin!"
awww what a sweetie
BTW 16 more days until the perfect storm!! ahh!

First, it was nice to see a quote from my website insidegloucester.com posted on these topic.
Second, think I can help those interested in learning more on the press junket.
Yes, the press arrives tomorrow June 16. I checked out the Harbor Loop area today (that is where the original filming took place last year.) The Warner Bros. people are already entrenched there and starting to set up stagin etc for the press interviews. My sources tell me, just as the movie set was guarded, so will the interview area be. The security people are already in place. Interviews will take place directly on the harbor (probably even onboard the Andrea Gale replica). Press were told to wear flat shoes and layers of clothing (because of the boat part). The stars are reportedly staying at the Ritz in downtown Boston (not here in town). 100 press people a day will be bussed in from Boston and given their chance at interviews with George, Mark, etc. and then given a tour of town and the waterfront.
That's all for now, I'll go down to the Harbor again tomorrow and see if I can learn more and then will post again.
P.S. I snagged tickets to the "local" premier on Wed. June 28. I'll post my review the next morning first thing.

What can I wear with a printed spring coat/jacket?
We applaud you for taking the plunge and buying some fresh jackets and coats in fun spring prints. But now that you have them hanging in your closet, you may be stumped on how to ease this trend into your look. Here are our three simple suggestions on what to wear them with!
Styling Suggestion #1: Wear It With All White
If you are keen on making your new floral blazer the star of your outfit, keep it totally crisp and clean by wearing all white underneath. The simplest approach is to rock it with a white tee and white cropped jeans, but white wide-leg or straight-leg trousers are equally palatable. If you want to elevate your floral blazer and white t-shirt from casual to office or cocktail-hour worthy, just swap out the jeans for a white pencil skirt or little white dress instead.
Styling Suggestion #2: Mix Those Prints
If you're feeling a bit more daring, we suggest mixing your printed jacket with another print! Be sure that they complement each other rather than compete. For example, we are tickled over a wide striped tee, top, or tank under a brighter floral jacket. Just be sure the prints' proportions work together and the colors mix well. When in doubt, go for classic prints like sailor stripes, polka dots, and leopard!
Styling Suggestion #3: Keep Things Casual
You don't have to be dressy or daring to try this look. Even if your uniform leans more towards denim and tees or khakis and white wovens, you can still work a print jacket into your repertoire. Keep your overall outfit effortless and casual--think: slouchy cigarette jeans or baggy, tapered khaki trousers with a simple tank. Just remember to keep the palette classic and neutral and your print jacket will feel right at home.

Multiwinia is a multi-player real time strategy war game unlike any other. A chaotic war is raging in a fantastic fractalized world populated by bloodthirsty little stick men with a mission: follow your orders to annihilate their enemies. They will do your bidding no matter what the cost: order them to take that hill, flank the enemy or run screaming towards the flame turrets. The Multiwinians are bent on destruction, and if a few hundred of them have to be incinerated to get that flag, so be it!
While Multiwinia shares its rendering engine with Darwinia, there the similarity ends. Multiwinia is all about gaming with new friends online and doing whatever it takes to blast them to bits. Choose from 6 furiously-paced game types with 40+ maps to choose from, online or in single player mode.
Play against your opponents and the clock - capture and hold as many bases as you can before time runs out. There are 9 maps from which to choose, with varying degrees of obstruction and complexity. Controlling a spawn point guarantees a fresh supply of new troops. Create Generals to automatically direct new recruits to their first mission immediately or into formations that improve performance in battle but slow movement.
Your goal here is to occupy and hold as many zones around the map as possible, for as long as possible. You get points for every second your team has more troops in a zone than your foes. Be careful though - concentrating your soldiers in one location makes them vulnerable to any of the more devastating of the crate contents: submarine-based nuclear strikes, meteor showers, napalm, or air strikes.
Nine challenging maps make for endless ways to win. Or lose.
Giant statues are placed at various points around one of nine maps. Your Multiwinian troops, while tiny and two-dimensional, are charged with hoisting the statues and carrying them over uneven terrain back to your spawn point - all while taking enemy fire!
The goal is to bring as many statues to your base as possible, while thwarting your opponent's efforts to wrangle their own statues back home.
When you look at the description of this challenge, "Assault a heavily defended position and capture a WMD before it detonates and everybody dies," it looks like a slam dunk. There are four spawn points, you have scores of troops, and the WMD must be defended from four attackers.
On the surface, it looks like you just need to gather your forces, work to exploit an opening created by an opponent, and you're in.
Ah, but that's where the gun turrets come in.
Don't worry though - when you're sick of being vaporized by the turrets, you can try your hand at defending the WMD and leveling the playing field ... or at least your enemies.
A variation on the theme - choose one of 7 rugged maps. Your mission is threefold - gain control of solar panels positioned around the map that will power the rocket that waits to carry your Multiwinians out of the war zone; protect your rocket from the enemy Multiwinians seeking to thwart your launch; and once your rocket is fueled, load it full of your troops and blast off!
Careful though, each team is aware of your status and will really turn up the heat when your countdown starts.
Classic Capture the Flag, Multiwinian-style. On one of 7 maps, battle to conquer enemy flag points in succession, striving toward the enemy base. Once the base has been taken, that enemy is eliminated.
Watch out though - just because an enemy is eliminated from battle doesn't mean they can't still impact the outcome.
Multiwinia features "Retribution mode," offering eliminated players free crate drops every 60 seconds till the end of the game, to be deployed against whomever they feel deserves it...
This is a free update to registered users of Multiwinia. Click here to download the 1.3.1 update.
Bloody marvellous! What a great, unique, original idea. Amazing!
Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later, PowerPC G5, or any Intel Mac
We know you like Multiwinia, tell your friends on Facebook you like it too!
Destroy your PC friends online! Multiwinia for Mac OS X is fully compatible with the latest Windows version.
