Astronomy would be easier but less interesting if the Earth stood still. In fact, the Earth has several different motions which astronomers long ago worked hard to understand. One of these motions is the Earth's rotation on its axis; another is the Earth's revolution, or orbital motion, around the Sun.
Reading: Stars & Planets, p. 14 — 16 (Star positions); p. 18 — 19 (Appearance of the sky), p. 21 (The Star Charts).
If you watch the night sky for a few hours, you will see that the stars appear to rotate about a fixed point in the sky, known as the north celestial pole, which just happens to be near the star Polaris. This is due to the Earth's rotation. As the spinning Earth carries us eastward at almost one thousand miles per hour, we see stars rising in the east, passing overhead, and setting in the west. The Sun, Moon, and planets move across the sky much like the stars.
Ancient astronomers explained this by supposing that the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars were all attached to a huge celestial sphere, centered on the Earth, which rotated on a fixed axis once per day. Of course, this sphere does not really exist; the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all fall freely through space, and only appear to move together because of the Earth's rotation. Nonetheless, we still use the concept of the celestial sphere when talking about the positions of stars.
The celestial pole is 21.3° above the horizon as seen from Oahu. The point on the horizon directly below the celestial pole is north, while the opposite direction is south. If you face north, east is on your right and west is on your left. Finally, the zenith is the point exactly overhead.
The north celestial pole is exactly overhead the Earth's north pole. Likewise, every point on the celestial equator is exactly overhead a corresponding point on the Earth's equator.
Once a year, the Earth makes a complete orbit about the Sun. As a result, the Sun appears to move with respect to the stars, passing in front of one constellation after another, as shown in the diagram on p. 12 of Stars & Planets. After one year, the Sun is back where it started. The Sun's annual path across the sky is called the ecliptic. Traditionally, the ecliptic was divided into twelve equal parts, each associated with a different constellation. The planets also appear to move along the ecliptic, although, as we will see, they don't always move in the same direction as the Sun.
The night sky is just that part of the sky which we see when the islands of Hawaii have turned away from the Sun. As we orbit the Sun, different constellations are visible at different times of the year. In September, for example, the evening sky is still dominated by summer constellations like Cygnus and Sagittarius; by December, these constellations will be low in the western sky, and winter constellations like Taurus and Orion will be rising in the east. You can get a `sneak preview' of the winter sky by staying up late, thanks to the Earth's rotation. For example, the constellations visible at 8 pm in early December can also be seen at 2 am in early September.
The Earth's axis of rotation is not parallel to its axis of revolution; the angle between them is 23.5°. As a result, the ecliptic is tilted by the same angle of 23.5° with respect to the celestial equator. This misalignment causes seasons; when the Sun appears north of the celestial equator the Earth's northern hemisphere receives more sunlight, while when the Sun appears south of the celestial equator the northern hemisphere receives less sunlight.
If we could view the Solar System from a point far above the north pole, we'd see the Earth revolving counter-clockwise about the Sun and rotating counter-clockwise on its axis. The other planets would likelwise revolve counter-clockwise around the Sun, and most would also rotate counter-clockwise. In addition, the Moon would appear to orbit the Earth in a counter-clockwise direction, as would most other planetary satellites.
In this class, we will use a 24-hour clock instead of writing `am' or `pm'. Since our class meets in the evening, most of the times we will record are after noon, and the 24-hour time is the time on your watch plus 12 hours. In the notes, this will be called `Hawaii Standard Time' and indicated by writing HST. For example, our class starts at 19:00 HST (= 7:00 pm + 12:00), and ends at 22:00 HST (= 10:00 pm + 12:00). Sometimes we need to record the date and the time together; for example, our first class began at 25-Aug-08 at 19:00 HST.
Astronomers all over world use a single time system to coordinate their observations. This system is called Universal Time, abbreviated as UT or UTC (Greenwich Mean Time, abbreviated GMT, is the same thing as UT). Universal Time is exactly 10 hours ahead of Hawaii Time. To convert 24-hour Hawaii Time to UT, you add 10 hours; if the result is more than 24, subtract 24 and go to the next day. For example, our first observing session (weather permitting) will be at 08-Sep-08 at 19:00 HST, or 09-Sep-08 at 05:00 UT. To convert from UT to Hawaii time, subtract 10 hours; if the result is less than 0, add 24 and go to the previous day. For example, we can see a stellar occultation (the eclipse of a star by the Moon) on 07-Oct-08 at 05:05 UT; that's 06-Oct-08 at 19:05 HST, just after the start of class.
Astronomers represent the appearance of the entire sky as seen at some particular place and time by drawing circular all-sky charts. Unfortunately, it's hard to show how the sky really looks using a flat piece of paper, so reading an all-sky chart and relating it to what you see in the sky takes practice. For example, these charts distort the patterns of stars near the horizon, so you may find it hard to recognize constellations from an all-sky chart. The only way to correct this distortion is to break the sky up into several separate charts. For some purposes, however, it's very convenient to show the entire sky in one chart, so you should learn to read these charts. All-sky charts for each month appear in Stars & Planets, starting on p. 24.
To read an all-sky chart, hold it in front of you with the side labeled `N' at the top. Now imagine you are lying flat on your back with your head pointing north; then east will be on your left, south at your feet, west on your right, and the zenith right in front of you. In your mind, stretch the chart so that it forms a dome over your head. The positions of stars on this imaginary dome now match their positions in the sky.
You can get a pretty good idea of how the sky will look on 09-Sep-08 at 20:30 HST by using the chart shown in Fig. 1. For example, the constellation of Cygnus (the swan), which is outlined in red, appears near the center of the chart, so it will be roughly overhead. Next to Cygnus is the bright star Vega; it is very near but just slightly above the center of the chart, so it will be seen very near the zenith but just slightly to the north. The planet Jupiter (indicated by the largest dot) and the Moon appear near each other, about half-way between the center of the chart and the southern compass point; they will appear in front of you, abouf half-way between the zenith and the horizon, if you face south. The bright star Acrturus, known to Polynesian navigators as Hokule'a (`star of gladness'), is seen toward the west, having passed almost directly overhead a few hours earlier.
If you are used to reading maps of the Earth, you may notice that the east and west compass points in Fig. 1 are reversed. On a terrestrial map with north at the top, you would expect to find west to the left and east to the right. However, a celestial map with north at the top has west at the right and east at the left. The reason for this is that a terrestrial map shows a view looking down at the Earth, while a celestial map shows a view looking up at the sky. Astronomical charts usually have north at the top and west to the right. When using a telescope, you'll notice that stars drift toward the west as a result of the Earth's rotation; this makes it easy to determine the correct orientation of a star chart.
|Fig. 1. The sky over Honolulu on 08-Sep-08 at 20:30 HST (09-Sep-08 at 06:30 UT), produced using Stellarium. Stars are shown as dots, with larger dots for brighter stars; the lines between stars trace constellations, with the constellation Cygnus highlighted in red. The blue curve is the celestial equator, and the red curve is the ecliptic. Compass points are shown around the edge of the chart.
An interactive planetarium, set up to show the sky now above Honolulu. You can chose other dates and times, select other viewing sites, and zoom in on selected areas; for these and other options, see http://www.fourmilab.to/yoursky. Created by John Walker.
Shows how the sky above Honolulu changes over 24 hours on 22-Sep-08 (the fall equinox). This illustrates the effect of the Earth's rotation.
Shows how the sky above Honolulu at 20:30 HT changes during one year, from 21-Dec-07 to 21-Dec-08. This animation illustrates the effect of the Earth's revolution around the Sun. Note how the constellations visible in the night sky change as the Earth revolves around the Sun. Also, note the Moon's monthly passages across the sky along the ecliptic and the fairly gradual motion of other planets.

The same thing happened for me; in the first run-through, I wanted to see if there was going to be a negative consequence to dating more than one person, but I wasn't expecting the way it was shown to have that kind of impact. So, in the second run, I stuck with Yukiko, and things went a lot better.
(I like the fact that the game not only allows for loyalty to a single partner, but actually rewards it.)
In fact, in the second run, after having been called out to go shopping with Ai on some Sunday or other, Yukiko (who I had max S-linked with by that point) showed up, shooed her away, and (after my Protagonist explained the misunderstanding) spent the rest of the afternoon with him. I couldn't help but feel pleased with that turn of events!

Well, I tried all 3 of the options available to me, and not only am I NOT sorry about my actions, I have vowed to go back on my next playthrough and pick up all the lovers' links that eluded me the first time. I WILL score with all the heroines. *Teddie voice*
I'll have to hunt for gameplay footage of what happens on Valentine's Day if you have no lovers' links- probably something embarassing.
@Nerroth: I know exactly what scene you're referring to (although I had Rise for mine, and she got intimidated and ran off). I think that was in the original game too. Yukiko doesn't mess around!

Thinking I was such a hotshot for clearing P4 first time around on expert before I immediately went with Very Hard on the first run through here without giving much thought to it. Anyone else thought the same?
Well, my hubris caught up with me fairly quickly.
The nearly halved exp and gold is one hell of a hurdle, and because I can't stand to grind I'm insanely underleveled every single boss fight. Pretty much half-regretting the decision (plus the fact that there's no trophy for it) but I'm near 30 hours in and far too late in to back out now.
It does put an interesting spin on dungeon clearing because now I'm using all sorts of items I would usually hoard.

Yeah, I'm just glad I went with hard. I figured that picking Very Hard would end up biting me . Hard was a lot worse in the beginning than I thought it would be. I almost changed my mind with how badly they were beating my team up early on. But hang in there and it started to even out.
Pretty well after Yukiko's dungeon was able to get enough experience from those gold hands to level high enough to endure the dungeons ahead. Still, have to agree on using items that normally I'd hoard more of. Makes those victories just a bit more worthwhile.

I like the dub, AND I understand the cost/space constraints, but damned if it doesn't break my heart not to have the Japanese audio track option. First world problems.
I think I'm actually managing to go through the first dungeon even slower than I did on the PS2. The quick load times have made me even more anal than ever about exploring town constantly to check and see if there's any new text or quests available. I expect to finish this some time around February of 2015.

Soooo, finally got around to playing through the whole game with the True ending for the first time...
Spoiler for Spoilers True Ending/Marie:
Honestly, it's the first actual Persona game I've beaten. I mean, I played through the PS2 version, but ended up stopping after abit. I won P3 FES.... but only got so far before stopping. Feels good to actually finish one~

Honestly didn't care about the Japanese voices for this one since I've already spent a ton of hours in the original PS2 version listening to them in English. Not like the dub is poorly done in this case. Options are always good of course.
Finally in December, so getting close to having fun with the added months of the game.

SO FULL OF RAGE. I tried to get the goddamn trophy for reading all the books, using a save point of 12/23. Finished all the books on the last possible day... found out I was missing a book. After scouring Gamefaqs, I figured out it was a book you get by eating at Aiya's 8 times. Great, like I would ever do that. -_- Started over from the same save point, got the book.... wound up ONE reading session short. ARRRRGHH. I can't use any other save points without fighting extremely pointless boss battles. There's no way in hell I'm going to do a third playthrough just for that trophy. What idiot thought up that trophy anyway? Who the hell does that for fun?? What an idiot. Serves me right for wasting time on dumb trophies. -_-

My main issues were in card fusion (I haven't sat down and tried to work out how to get all of the cards needed for a certain Persona, or to move the needle for the Empress Arcana Social Link) and some of the other S-links (I didn't seem to have enough time in either run-through to get everyone maxed up).
Oh well.
In other news, happy birthday Yukiko!

Indeed, happy birthday Yukiko .
So, finally got through my first run in the game. Just had fun with it and will leave the NG+ for getting a few more trophies. Have to say they did a great job on this. All the extra content made it feel pretty fresh. Just the little things that make it better .

ughhh i realli want to use the rescue request thing but for some reason, whenever I enter a dungeon it keeps failing to connect to psn at the start. Connecting to psn only works when im outside dungeons using the voice thingymabob.
Anyone got the same probs and how to fix?

But really I have to say the new scenes scattered throughout really do bring the game up another level. If I didn't have to study I'd be in NG+ already just to go through it all over again.

Tho action of tho Government, especially tbe deposition of 'the Mufti, makes clear in the Arab mind that lho Government cannot be Intimidated by terrorism, the Manchester Guardian says. Tb» Now&-Chronicle tjeplared that con- nidering tho forbearance of tbe Government hitherto, it must have had goad cause for tbe drastic ac¬ tion which it took. However, the Government muut not change its policy for a solution of the prob¬ lem in equity, the paper says. The Arab leaders wer? penalized, it points out, not becauso they were enemies of the Je^va but of law bu^ order. IDENTIFY JEWISH FRIEND OtF JUSTICE BLACK BUUUNGHAM, Ala.

She had heard of this place before, but never had the nerve to go in. Today, she walked past it twice, and finally decided that if she didn't go in today, she never would. One last smoke, she held her breath and walked in. Up the stairs and she came to the reception. "Welcome to Your Fantasises" said the barely dressed receptionist. "Have you been here before?" She replied that she hadn't, and was handed some membership forms to fill in. She sat down and started to fill it in. It was basic name address, next of kin, and then onto sexual likes, dislikes and fantasies. On the back page there were pictures of the guys and girls available and their prices. She picked out three guys she liked the look of and handed the paper work back to the receptionist. The receptionist told her to go sit back down, while she paged the guys she had chosen.
After only a few minutes, she was called and shown to a room down the hall. She was told she would find many different clothing types and to help herself is she wanted, then to go through the purple door at the other end of the changing room. She picked out a black leather bra and thongs, a black leather collar and black leather high-heeled boots and walked on through the purple door.
As she walked through the door, it was like being transported into another place. She walked into a large black and silver room with plenty of spotlights in strategic places. Around the room there were several tables with different things laid out. She quickly saw in the center of the room was a table with nothing on it, and three guys stood watching her. One came over and asked what it was she wanted to try in their Room Of Mystery. She became so flustered, that she could think of nothing to say. All that popped out of her mouth was she wanted to learn how to play chess. Once she said it, she could not believe what she had said!
They guys looked at each other puzzled by such a strange request. "Not a problem, if you would seat yourself at the center table, we will be with you in a moment" She did as she was asked, and sat there wanting to kick her own butt for thinking of such a stupid thing to say. The three guys talked it over and were soon back at her side.
"We can teach you to play chess, but that means, we are in charge, and you will do as your told and be a good little pupil. But first, we need to get you ready, you don't look like a chess player right now." She was ordered to stand up, turn away from them, and slid down her black leather thongs, with out bending her legs too much to give them a good show of her butt. She did as was asked and then turned to face them. She was then told to take of her black leather bra and stand there with her hands behind her head, so they could have a good look at her tits. She hadn't seen one of the guys go out, but saw him return with a chess set. He placed it on the table in front of them and told the other guys, they were ready.
"I will be your teacher, and you will call me teacher." He sat down on the chair and started to get the chessboard ready. "I am your punisher", said another of the guys. "You will call me punisher." He walked behind her and gave her a quick but gentle slap on her ass. "I am your rewarder, and you will address me as such." He walked to the side of her and slid his hand across her pussy. "Let's begin shall we gentlemen?" Said the teacher.
The punisher and rewarder took hold of her and lead her up to the table. They each took a leg and fastened it to a leg of the table. Now she was spread wide open. They each then took a nipple clamp from the teacher and attached them to her. She winced and took a deep breath in as they were put onto her nipples. From each clamp there was a lead, and the ends were given to the teacher. Just to check they worked right, he gave one a little tug, then the other. She had to close her eyes and not think of the stinging she could feel. When he let go, she told them she didn't like that and wanted them taken off. "I am the teacher, and I know what's best for you! And more of an outburst from you young lady, and something will have to be done about it!" The punisher took his position behind her and the rewarder took his position underneath her.
"Now," said the teacher, "do you know anything about chess?" "No, I don't." she replied. "We will start at the beginning then. How many pieces are there in a chess set? Do you know?" "I have no idea." She answered. "Guess." Said the teacher. To hurry her up a little, he gave her nipple clamps a little tug. "40 in total?" She asked. "Oww" she yelled out as the first of her many punishments started. "Guess again." Said the teacher. She got a spank for every wrong answer she gave, and she had to keep guessing till she got it right. Finally, she must have given the right answer as suddenly she felt the Rewarder move and lay his tongue against her pussy. She closed her eyes to capture the sensation. A tug on her nipple clamps soon brought her attention back to the lesson! And so the lesson went on.
"Do you know the names of the pieces?" She was asked next. "Pawn, King, Queen. Knight and Bishop?" She had answered. Again the rewarder set his tongue in motion. He was good! His tongue flicked up and down across her open pussy and flicked so lightly on her clit. She could feel his breathe on her pussy as her licked her reward. Next question was did she know how to set up a chessboard. She tried all she could to get them right, but went the punisher. Soon though, she did finally manage to get the board set up as it should be, and she got to enjoy the rewarder again. This time, he didn't stop, he kept liking and sucking at her wet pussy and sticking his tongue so deep inside her. God he was good.
The Teacher was talking to her again, but she missed it. Her mind was still concentrating on the Rewarder who had his tongue buried so deep inside her. She was lost to that tongue of his as it licked away. The Teacher pulled on the nipple clamps and told her that's what they were there for, to make sure she didn't forget what she was meant to be concentrating on. went the punisher. She was finding it very hard to concentrate now with the rewarder buried in her pussy, the Punisher who kept spanking her ass and the Teacher who kept tugging at her nipples. She was getting used to it now, and was actually enjoying it, but she wasn't about to tell them that.
They finally got to start playing their first game. She had to guess though on each piece how it was allowed to move. She got spanked if she got it wrong, sucked and licked harder on her pussy if she got it right and every time she lost her concentration, the chains attached to her nipples were pulled. It was going to be a slow game, and she was going to make sure of that!
Piece by piece, they took turns in making their move. She knew she wasn't going to win, not on her first game, and wondered what her punishment would be. She knew her three hours she had booked, must be nearly up so she wanted to get the game over with, to get on with her punishment. If she was lucky, she may even get more rewards!
She soon the idea of how the little pawns moved and enjoyed the extra little suck on her clit as she made her move. The larger pieces though, she just could not get the hang of and had to just give in to the idea of having her ass spanked on every other move. Most of her pieces were now taken from the board and she knew the Teacher would soon win this game.
The Teacher sat there with a smile upon his face as he made his last move and announced checkmate! He sat back in his chair and just started at her face. The Rewarder took that wonderful tongue out of her pussy, but the Punisher didn't stop spanking her ass. He started with a slow gentle pace and keeping his timing going set about making her butt red.
The Teacher got up from his chair and walked around to her, telling her that in fact, he was well pleased with today's session and advised her that many more lessons were needed. He pulled on her nipple clamps, forcing her to bend right over so her tits were laid out on the table. The Rewarder took his cue and pulled on her arms holding her in place while her wrists were bound to the sides of the tabletop. He took hold of her tits in his hands and stretched them so they were laid out as much as he could. The Punisher kept on spanking at her ass. The teacher put in front of her face a chin rest to hold her head up high. Her butt was secured to the table also. Now she was unable to move. She guessed her punishment was about to start.
The Teacher climbed up onto the table and knelt down in front of her face. Up on his knees, he slid his hard cock deep into her mouth where she started sucking for all she was worth. His hands grabbed hold of her nipple and he twisted them as far round as he could, then again the other way. Her tongue wanted to work as much magic as the Rewarder had worked on her. She slid her tongue up and down his huge shaft and curled it across the tip. Again and again she did this, until finally she could feel the twitching that told her he was not far from shooting his load deep down in her throat. His hands moved up to her shoulders and held tight. He let his head fall as he exploded into her.
As soon as he had finished, the Rewarder took the place of the Teacher up on the table and pushed his cock deep into her mouth. She did what she could for him and sucked him hard. He held onto her head and made sure that she didn't loose her pace. It wasn't long before he was ready to shoot his load too. He held on tight to her face so every drop was not wasted. He finished with her and got down so the Punisher could take his turn. She hadn't even noticed the Punisher had still been slapping at her ass all this time. Man, she knew she would be sore later.
Once all three had had their fill in her mouth, they all took turns fucking her pussy. As one was fucking her hole, the other two were sucking on her tits. They would all move on round, till all three had shot their load inside her now very wet and fucked pussy and had sucked on both her tits. Now her ass was red from all that spanking, her pussy was sore from that entire licking, sucking and fucking and her jaw ached from sucking on all three cocks. As if they had known, they suddenly stopped and announced that her session was over. They left her alone as they walked out only stopping to spank her ass once each. She was still tied to the table, wanting so much more.
It felt like forever before she heard someone coming into the room to let her free from the table. It was the girl from the reception. She walked round to face her and told her what a sight she was, all bound like that. The receptionist stood there popped into her mouth a cloth. The girl unbuttoned her blouse letting her breasts hang free in front of her. The receptionist took in her hands the captive's tits and started to massage them. As soon as the girl saw her close her eyes and give a little moan, she let her hands move round her bound body till they found her red ass. As the girl leaned down to massage her ass, her breasts just touched on her sore red butt. The receptionist let her tits push into her skin as she worked her hands down to her pussy. She slipped her fingers deep inside and heard the moan of delight.
She stood up then and walked to the front of the bound captive. "That was just a taster of what you might get if you had asked for one of us girls. Think on it, huh?" She undid the bindings and led her back to the dressing room to get changed.
She got showered and dressed and her mind replayed her session at the House of Mystery, over and over. As she got her coat on and left the dressing room, the receptionist asked, "should I book your next session now?".

There are few forthcoming PlayStation 3 titles that are quite so keenly anticipated as Beyond: Two Souls, the latest project from Quantic Dream – the idiosyncratic French developer behind acclaimed 2010 adventure Heavy Rain. Following the story of young Jodie Holmes (played by Hollywood starlet Ellen Page) and her mysterious supernatural companion, Aiden, it lit up E3 earlier this year with its stunning reveal trailer.
We've not heard too much since, so we caught up with Quantic's founder, David Cage, at Paris Games Week for a quick progress update.
Would you like to help the war effort against the Viking hordes? How about win a PlayStation Vita whilst your own character design is implemented in When Vikings Attack! as a playable character?
Well now you can, thanks to the When Vikings Attack! Character Design Contest that begins today! PlayStation and the awesome guys over at Clever Beans are offering one lucky gamer the opportunity to design a character in our upcoming Viking 'em up for PSN.
Need a catch up on the game? Here's Martin and Andrew from Clever Beans being all British at E3, describing When Vikings Attack! for both PS3 and PS Vita.
It truly is an exciting time to be part of the PlayStation family. This morning, PlayStation was recognized by the gaming industry elite, winning an industry-leading seven Game Critics: Best of E3 awards including BEST IN SHOW for The Last of Us, and receiving more awards than any other platform or publisher.
Receiving critical acclaim throughout the industry, The Last of Us, the new PS3 survival action game from the talented team at Naughty Dog, took home a whopping five Game Critics Awards.
Doom 3: BFG Edition is set to launch on PS3 in October of 2012, bringing with it the first two games in the iconic series. It means you'll be able to play the entire Doom series on PS3 for the first time and see for yourself why many consider these games to be some of the most influential shooters of all time.
We caught up with Eric Webb, producer from game developer id Software, at E3 2012 to talk about how the game has been buffed up for PS3.
After seeing Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes at GDC this year, then playing the PS Vita version at E3, I've found myself anticipating its imminent release (it's out today). With a huge Gotham City hub world and a cast that reaches far beyond the Caped Crusader, Lego Batman 2 appears to be the most ambitious entry in the venerable Lego series. A few days ago I caught up with Matthew Ellison, a producer at TT Games via transatlantic cable, er, telephone. We talked at length about PS Vita, the plethora of playable DC heroes, and… bat nipples.
At E3 2012, Capcom offered a glimpse of the three different scenarios we'll be playing in Resident Evil 6. Players could enjoy a co-op between Leon Kennedy and newcomer Helena Harper in classic survival-horror style in a Tall Oaks full of zombies, face a boss battle with Jake Muller (son of longtime series baddie Albert Wesker) and Sherry Birkin (aka the little girl from RE2), or battle across the rooftops of China with Chris Redfield and his partner Piers Nivans. But the company also revealed a new feature behind closed doors: the Crossover system, an evolution of the dual-threaded Scenario mechanic from Resident Evil 2, this time not only intersecting the story of different characters but also bringing their gameplay together in four-player co-op situations.
To demonstrate Crossover, Capcom's developers played a scene where Leon and Helena meet with Jake and Sherry in China. En route via airplane, the US agents are attacked by a B.O.W. (that's Bio-Organic Weapon for the uninitiated) and crash.
Welcome back from E3! I'm sure you all are pretty pumped for what's to come this year in the video game world. A slew of new AAA titles, new features, and new announcements from our favorite games. Speaking of our favorite games, as the executive producer of DC Universe Online, it is no surprise that what I'm most excited about coming out of E3 is DC Universe Online's new DLC pack! That's right, more new content for a game that is already free-to-play! And the best part is…you don't have to wait much longer to jump into battle.
Tomorrow, we launch DCUO's highly anticipated fourth DLC pack: The Last Laugh. We are greatly anticipating the release of this new pack as it is the first time we have created a major update almost entirely focused on player-versus-player (PvP) combat. The Last Laugh will include hours of multiplayer gameplay in the Safe Houses and Headquarters, an all-new weapon, and new Light-Powered and Kryptonian Legends PvP characters.

As we catch our breath from the pandemonium that was E3 2012, we're left with some sweeping questions. Will Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch revitalize the JRPG genre? What does David Cage have up his sleeve with BEYOND: Two Souls? And what the hell were Ridley Scott and Damon Lindeloff thinking with Prometheus?
Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation.Blog?

Best run city in the world?
A week or so later, a second mailing came from the city. It also didn't say how the pickup days were changing, and it also said to watch for a further notification in the mail. It didn't say to call in, and it didn't say to check the city's website.
No further notification came. Everyone in my neighborhood apparently continued to put out recycling and garbage bins on the same days, and they didn't get picked up. Kat called today, and the person answering the phone for the City of Phoenix waste disposal said that they did no specific mailings, rather, they expected people to "get curious" and either look online or call them.
Well, we did indeed "get curious" as to why our garbage wasn't picked up, so I guess their expectation was valid. My initial assumption was that we had a new garbageman who didn't know my house was on his route, since I've had to call a few dozen times in the past about garbage and recycling not being picked up for that reason.
I've put out the recycling bin for pickup tomorrow--next to the full garbage bin that will be sitting out there until next week. So far, none of my neighbors have done the same.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Facing its second straight nationally-ranked opponent this week, the No. 19 MIT field hockey team fell to No. 18 Mount Holyoke College, 6-2, in a NEWMAC game on Saturday afternoon. Freshman Charlotte Wagner (West Chester, Pa.) produced one goal and three assists as junior Diana Banmann (Hannover, Germany) registered a hat-trick for the Lyons (14-1, 6-1 NEWMAC). Seniors Maddy Wharton (Swarthmore, Pa.) and Molly Duffy (New Providence, N.J.) provided the scoring for the Engineers (12-4, 5-2 NEWMAC).
MIT put the pressure on early and saw results as Wharton converted a penalty stroke after 2:15 elapsed. Mount Holyoke responded with sophomore Sarah LaQuerre (Old Orchard Beach, Maine) tallying the equalizer four minutes later. Following a penalty corner, sophomore goalie Evie Kyritsis (Mountain Lakes, N.J.) turned away shots by junior Kirsten Kilburn (North Branford, Conn.) and Banmann before LaQuerre knocked in the rebound.
The Lyons gained some breathing room with markers in the 11th and 13th minutes, resulting in a 3-1 lead. After inserting the ball on a penalty corner, Wagner tipped in a feed from Kilburn at the near post. Wagner then earned the first of three straight assists as she sent a cross from the near side to Banmann at the far post.
Coming out of their own timeout after the goal, the Engineers generated some momentum on the offensive end as they put two shots on net and earned a pair of penalty corners. However, the visitors' attack responded with a Kilburn blast at the top of the arc in the 28th minute and then capped the first-half scoring with 3:13 to go courtesy of a Banmann strike from the top of the circle on a penalty corner.
Mount Holyoke continued to push in the second stanza, registering five penalty corners and two shots on goal in the first six minutes. MIT responded by controlling the action during the next eight minutes, eventually ending its scoring drought on Duffy's redirection that was set up by senior Erin Kenney (Glen Ellyn, Ill.) in the 50th minute to make the score 5-2.
The Engineers kept the Lyons' defense active, but an interception by Banmann provided the final marker with 8:27 left to play. Deep in MIT's defensive end, Banmann picked off a pass and tapped it to LaQuerre who sent it back to her to complete the hat-trick.
Kyritsis totaled eight saves in the first half while sophomore Paige Kennedy (Eastchester, N.Y.) closed out the game for the Cardinal and Gray with two stops. For the Lyons, freshman Liz DiCesare (Westford, Mass.) collected eight saves.
MIT will wrap up the regular season on Saturday, Nov. 2 with a home game against NEWMAC foe Babson College. Mount Holyoke returns to action on Tuesday, Oct. 29 when it hosts Westfield State University in a non-conference tilt.

Today I am going to show you a Time-Saver workout I designed to give you real results in 15 minutes, or less. This is a Cardio-Strength workout and the exercises are done in sequence for a circuit of three times.
• First time, we will do each of the exercises for 60 seconds.
• Second time, we will do each of the exercises for 45 seconds.
• Third time, we will do each of the exercises for 30 seconds.
It is important to work at a challenging level. Try to move quickly between each exercise, taking very little time to rest.
Exercise 1: Mountain climbers
Start in plank position, face-down, supporting your body weight with your hands and toes. Your body should be in a straight line, making sure your hips are in line with your knees and shoulders. Keep your abs tight as you bring one knee at a time towards your chest. Start slow and increase speed to a running pace as you feel comfortable. Progress to Squat Jumps.
Exercise 2: Squat jumps
Start in a standing position, with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your hips towards the ground as far as you can, while bending your knees and swinging your arms behind you. All your body weight should be in your heels, not in your toes. Next, straighten your legs, pushing off the ground, while swinging your arms above you as you jump into the air. To protect your knees, be careful not to let your knees move past your toes as you squat down. Progress to Crab Kicks.
Exercise 3: Crab kicks
Start face up on the floor with your body weight supported by your hands and feet, and your hips pressed up towards the ceiling. Your knees should be bent at 90 degrees and your heels should be directly below your knees. While squeezing your abs and glutes tight, kick one leg at a time up toward the ceiling. You can start slow and increase your speed as you feel comfortable. Progress to Leaps with punches.
Exercise 4: Leaps with punches
Start in a standing position, leap to the right as far as you can, making sure to keep your knees bent. As you leap to the right, punch both arms above you to activate your shoulders. Next, leap to the left with the punch. Leap right and left as fast you can for the duration of the interval. Progress to jump dhot push-ups.
Exercise 5: Jump shot push-ups
Start in push-up position, face-down, supporting your body weight with your hands and toes. Your hands should be a little wider than shoulder width apart. This exercise can be modified by dropping to your knees. Keep your abs tight as you bend your elbows and lower your chest toward the floor for a push-up. Complete one push-up, then jump your feet toward your chest, exploding into the air for a basketball jump shot. Drop back down into push-up position and repeat. Return to Mountain Climbers until you have completed the circuit three times.

The School of Engineering and Applied Science offers financial support through assistantships and fellowships ordinarily consisting of a stipend and payment of all tuition and fees including health insurance. Most superior students in research degree programs (Masters of Science and Ph.D.) can expect to receive aid of some kind for up to five years, though support will vary by department and funding source.
Students receiving financial aid from the School of Engineering and Applied Science must be registered as full-time students, defined as at least 12 credit hours of lecture-laboratory courses and/or research during the academic year, must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 and also maintain satisfactory progress toward a degree. Summertime graduate research assistants must register for a minimum of 6 credit hours of research during the summer. Students receiving financial aid are not permitted to have other employment without approval of the Office of Assistant Dean for Graduate Programs. Students are awarded financial assistance to enable them to devote maximum effort to graduate studies.
Fellowships are intended to allow graduate students to devote full time to learning opportunities in the classroom and laboratory. No work duties, in a pay for service sense, are required, but good academic progress, including research for the thesis or dissertation, are essential. Some programs, during fellowship support, will include research and teaching duties as part of the usual academic requirements for the degree.
Graduate Research Assistants are assigned to work with a faculty member on a specific research project which should culminate in a project report, thesis, or dissertation. Full-time graduate research assistants may not carry a load of more than 9 credit hours of lecture-laboratory courses but must register each semester for enough additional credits of teaching/research to maintain full-time student status.
Graduate Teaching Assistants are assigned to assist a faculty member teaching a specific lecture/laboratory course. The assigned duties will depend on the course and instructor. Graduate teaching assistants may not carry a load of more than 9 credit hours of lecture-laboratory courses but must register each semester for enough teaching/research credit to maintain full-time student status.

Money could be on the way for the city if Brockton is able to strike a deal with the medical marijuana organization for serving as its host community.
BROCKTON – The City Council will take up legislation during Monday's Finance Committee meeting, which would set the application fee for opening a medical marijuana dispensary in Brockton at $1,500.
In January, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health granted In Good Health, Inc., a provisional license to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Brockton, where the nonprofit organization would grow and sell marijuana and marijuana-infused products.
However, more money could be on the way for the city if Brockton is able to strike a deal with the organization for serving as its host community.
"I have had preliminary conversations with the proposed licensee around a PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) program," said Mayor Bill Carpenter.
Carpenter declined to discuss the specifics of those conversations beyond stating that In Good Health had sent his office a proposal for such an agreement.
In its application with the state, In Good Health projected revenues of $1,595,000, $2,492,500 and $3,390,000 during its first three fiscal years.
The City Council settled on the figure of $1,500 for the application fee, which was written into the city's medical marijuana zoning ordinance last year, after the city clerk's office did a comparison of what other communities were setting as the price of their application fees.
"The fee is just supposed to be enough to cover any costs you have for issuing the permit," said Ward 2 City Councilor Thomas Monahan.
While Monahan and Ward 3 City Councilor Dennis Eaniri both expressed a desire for the city to receive additional review as the dispensary's host, they stated that the fee must be set in a fair way.
"Those two things need to be separate," Eaniri said. "You can't just say I want $20,000 for the application fee."
All nonprofit organizations seeking to apply for a medical marijuana dispensary license were required to pay a non-refundable $30,000 application fee to state, and those which were approved have to pay a $50,000 registration fee, also non-refundable.
All applicants were also required to prove that they had $500,000 in cash on hand as well.
However, before the city begins to take its cut from what could be Brockton's newest multi-million business, Carpenter said he has concerns about the dispensary, and the state's selection process, that he wants to address.
"I have reservations about this current proposal," Carpenter said. "I have questions about the process by which this one was selected. And I don't like the location."
The new medical marijuana industry can mean big bucks for the municipalities that host the facilities.
For instance, Ermont Inc., which was granted a provisional license to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Quincy, agreed to enter into a host agreement that would require the nonprofit to share a percentage of its revenue with the city.
According to Ermont's application with the state, the nonprofit projects to bring in $3,497,777 in revenue during their first fiscal year of operation.
In Alternative Therapies Group's application to the state, the nonprofit agreed to donate $50,000 per year to Salem and Amesbury as part of a community benefits agreement.

Seagate Momentus XT ST750LX003 Hybrid 750GB Review
Testing of hard drives can be done in several different ways. One method involves leaving the drive bare and connecting it as a secondary drive in an existing system. By simultaneously cleaning the drive after each benchmark run-through, this allows you to see its theoretical peaks in performance. However, the results would only represent a best case scenario – one that you may never see unless operating a bare drive. The second method, which OverclockersClub employs, involves loading the operating system and benchmarking suite onto the test drive itself. This would give performance results that emulate real-world usage more closely. Testing will be completed with the P67-based system listed below, alongside a fresh install of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit that is updated to SP1 and fully patched as of the date of testing. The latest Intel Rapid Storage technology drivers and software have also been installed. All tests are conducted with the drive connected to a native SATA III 6Gb/s port on the motherboard, in an effort to eliminate any possible bottlenecks with performance.
Testing Setup:
- Processors: Core i7 2600K @ 3.4GHz 100 x 34
- Motherboard: ASUS Maximus IV Extreme
- Memory: Mushkin 996805 Redline PC312800 6-8-6-24 1600MHz 4GB

Hi guys and gals
Just a quick question. Does any one have any census or poll that details how many Jews left their faith after WW2? I have been looking and can not find too much to go on.
I do not for course mean the number of them viciously murdered. I mean those that called it a day on scripture post war.
Any help would be appreciated.

The laptop feels very light, sturdy and of a good build quality. Its keyboard is easy to get accustomed to, and I had no trouble at all, coming from a radically different keyboard design on the DELL. The ChromeOS function keys are really handy too, e.g. to change brightness, volume etc. The touchpad has the right size, position and responsiveness too.
The C720 is a fast booter too, definitely faster to boot than Ubuntu or Windows 7 on my previous DELL V130 laptop (Intel i3, HDD), and also faster than my husband's Samsung Chromebook (Exynos, flash). The OS updated automatically as soon as it connected to the Internet, and rebooted fast too. All my bookmarks and information from my other Chrome browsers were automatically added to this laptop's Chrome version, and so the switch was painless. I only needed to move over my custom index.html page that I use as my startup page for years (I don't use bookmarks or Chrome's startup page, I use my own). Apart from that, I was up and running within 5-10 minutes.
I installed a few third party Chrome apps/extensions but I found most of them to be largely useless. I only kept Caret (an offline text editor that I'm typing this review with right now), Pixlr Touch Up (offline basic image manipulation), two links to an online calculator (is there any good, offline one?), and to Amazon Kindle reader page. And 2-3 online games.
I must note here that if something like Pixlr didn't exist for ChromeOS, I wouldn't have bought the Chromebook. I often snap pictures of my (Paleo) food and post recipes on my blog, so I need some basic image manipulation: crop and resize are paramount, and if possible, some brightness-fixing. Pixlr for the win!

In this last week, there are only two apps that I missed. One of them is actually a common complain among Chromebook users, and the other one is more of a personal need. So, the first app that some might miss is Skype. Sure, there's Hangouts that works well, but our (older) friends and family use Skype. I constantly need to Skype with my mom in Greece for example, and I have to have an iPad for that! Unfortunately, Skype's performance and stability is atrocious on Android too (we have 5-6 such devices here, none works as well as iOS does with Skype).
Interestingly, to use Hangouts text chat you still need to open a G+ or Gmail page. The provided Hangouts app is only for video and group text chat associated to the video. All I want is to sometimes text-chat people who are at work and can't video-chat, so why do I still need to open up a Gmail or G+ tab just for that? And why when they IM me instead, don't Hangouts or some other desktop daemon notify me? GTalk is not as integrated so far. I don't get Gmail notifications either. Update: Another user suggested this extension which works well.
On the positive side of things, the C720 can playback 1080p video without dropping frames, from either Youtube, Vimeo, or from my Canon digicam (1080/24p, h.264 35 mbps). Apple's popular trailer videos don't work, as expected, due to Quicktime. I also tested a 4k/24p video on Youtube, which played back at around 12 fps (which is still impressive, considering). While playback is fine, I still need a basic h.264 encoder and/or editor. I snapped a video the other day with my digicam that records at 35 mbps, so I needed a tighter encoding at that resolution, similar to the one Youtube or Vimeo do at around 5 mbps VBR. I needed to send that video to someone via email, so it had to be tight in terms of size, while retaining its clarity. I had no way of doing this kind of re-encoding on ChromeOS. And I couldn't upload to youtube or vimeo either, because that video was about official, legal business, so I'd prefer it if I didn't have to upload it online -- even if it was marked as "private" or set with a password. At the end, I caved in and uploaded it with a password, only to find out that the recipients never clicked through, they prefer attachments. Long story short, just as there's a very basic, *offline* manipulation app for images, I also need one for video.
Another app I needed was an "offline" based FTP client ("offline" meaning, it doesn't go through third party services to load itself) to upload the pictures for this review. Not that plain FTP is that secure itself, but still, it's risky using third party web sites online to connect to a 3rd party server.
Overall, the above are just small grievances, usage patterns that differ between users. What might be a bigger problem though is Acer C720's WiFi chipset/driver. It would disconnect every few minutes from our TrendNET router, and it would in fact lose all its WiFi while doing so (looked like a driver crash). Disabling WiFi and re-enabling it would give me WiFi access for another few minutes again, until the next crash would occur. A quick Google search about it revealed that others had the same experience with the specific Chromebook model and some routers. I eventually found that I had to change the WiFi Channel from "Auto", to a specific number. When I did that, all WiFi problems went away. Please note that this seems to be a bug on the Acer Chromebooks models, and not necessarily a ChromeOS bug. My husband's Samsung Chromebook (or any other of our devices) never exhibited these WiFi woes with our router. Update: Since I've written this review, a yet another ChromeOS update seems to have the problem fixed.
In terms of performance, my Haswell Acer C720 runs circles around my husband's Samsung Exynos-based Chromebook. It loads and renders much faster, and it feels much more responsive. However, it still comes with a limited 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage. That amount of storage is enough actually, if you don't want to store or edit video, or if you don't have aspirations to also have room for an Ubuntu partition. But the 2 GB of RAM might prove a problem to some users, particularly those who open lots of tabs. If you're a tab-o-holic, and you open more than ~20 tabs at the same time, you might want to wait for a 3-4 GB RAM Chromebook model. Otherwise, you'll experience re-renders of each page every time you click a tab, and this can be an annoying user experience after a while. For my personal usage patterns, this has been a problem only once (I opened about 20 tabs on a recipe web site), but generally it's not a problem.
Bluetooth works well with mice, keyboards and headphones, but it's got a major limitation for my needs: it doesn't support OBEX or a similar file-transferring protocol. I'm very often snapping food pictures with my Galaxy Nexus that I want to slightly manipulate before I upload on my recipe blog (crop and resize). Unfortunately, there's no way to transfer the picture from my Google phone to my Google laptop wirelessly. If Google's suggestion for this problem is to upload to Picasa, my reply is that I don't care about Picasa, neither I want to use it on my Wordpress blog. I also never carry cables, so I'd really would like a Bluetooth profile update about this on ChromeOS.
The file manager that comes with ChromeOS is sufficient but it has problems. I can't fullscreen images to 1:1 size when I view them, if I delete a zip file while mounted the entry doesn't go away until I reboot, and other such small problems that indicate an issue with a mature UI and user experience, rather than major engineering holes.
In terms of quality, for most of the hardware I'm pleased: USB 2.0 and 3.0, SD card slot (SD card doesn't go all the way in btw, it hangs out), mic and headphones port, a very loud, good-quality speaker, HDMI-out, and a good battery life. The screen is sufficient for what it is too. There's only one hardware part that's sub-par: the webcam. This is marked as VGA camera, but it looks worse than that. Imagine QVGA quality, stretched to 720p, and applied a gazillion of filters by default to hide the noise, resulting in a plasticky, "fake" look (no matter the lighting conditions).
Webcam grab on good lighting conditions
However, I'm sure most of us will survive a bad webcam quality. ChromeOS is primarily a web browsing OS, and that, it does well. For those people who don't have special-interest usage patterns, it will fulfill its goal. It's fast, it's stable, and it fills-in a niche: the type of niche that has users wanting a better browsing experience than that found on a tablet, but without needing the full-fledged abilities of a conventional laptop. Would I recommend it? Yes, but not to absolutely everyone. If you're into just web browsing and you don't require Skype, go for it. If you require heavy apps, get a conventional laptop. If you require mostly "peripheral" apps and lite HW, get a tablet.
