SPT (Specialised Traffic) Activity Score is an experimental algorithm that attempts to quantify the level of SPT traffic in any given country relative to the most active SPT country within the period concerned.
By determining the number of SPT flights for each country within a particular time period, the highest value is derived and assigned a base value of 100; all the other countries' SPT traffic figures are then calculated to this base. The period used to calculate SPT Activity Score is the last 3 months. The Score is re–calculated once a day and small fluctuations can be noticed from day to day. However, significant changes may be observed when monitoring this Score over many months. This happens when SPT traffic levels of some countries increase or decrease sharply relative to the best performing country, or when the number of SPT flights of the best performing country changes significantly. Please note that this Score does not show relative change over time (i.e. it is not a historical index), so the base Score never exceeds 100; this is not a tool to analyse relative change of the total SPT traffic volume over time, but only a relative performance of each country to the best performing country. The Score of each country is also not a percentage of its traffic level to the total SPT traffic volume, but effectively a percentage of the best performing country.
The sum of all the SPT traffic for each country is normally calculated by adding up all of the SPT flights that actually took place within its Flight Information Region(s), regardless of the filed points of departure and arrival or filed flight plan route. This also means that any transiting (foreign) SPT traffic that departed elsewhere is also included in these figures. When one flight transits through FIRs that correspond to several different countries it effectively contributes to SPT totals of all those countries. Many countries do not have a FIR associated with them, so it would not have been possible to compile SPT Activity Score for them; therefore, for these countries the number of SPT flights is derived from the number of filed movements on their aerodromes, according to flight plans. One of the limitations of the latter method is that any unknown filed aerodromes (such as non—ICAO (local) codes, "ZZZZ"s, etc.) are not be recognised and thus do not contribute to the country's SPT Activity Score.
The presented SPT Activity Score algorithm is experimental and does not yet account for other important areas of Special Operations within each country or division, such as the number of registered SOGs, the number of events, etc. The algorithm will be developed in the future to account for these and other factors.
The Score is re–calculated once a day at 01:00Z. The Score is based only on SPT flights that got airborne and with a duration of at least 15 minutes (total session time). When for technical reasons the SPT Activity Score becomes older than 2 days, it is not displayed.
Please note that the term SPT (Specialised Traffic) used hereby is different to what the SO Regulations recognises as SO (Special Operations) traffic. Please refer the 4'th FAQ question below for clarification.
Normally these are the current SPT (Specialised Traffic) flights that are operating on the IVAO network as of this time within the Flight Information Region(s) of the concerned country, regardless of the filed points of departure and arrival or filed flight plan route.
Many countries do not have a FIR associated with them; for such cases the current SPT flights are determined on the basis of filed points of departure and arrival — aerodromes that are associated with the concerned country.
This data is updated regularly, usually once every several minutes (you do need to refresh the page manually, as it will not update itself once initally loaded). At peak IVAO times update interval may reach 7 – 10 minutes. When for technical reasons this data becomes older than 30 minutes, current SPT flights are not displayed.
Please note that the term SPT (Specialised Traffic) used hereby is different to what the SO Regulations recognises as SO (Special Operations) traffic. Please refer the 4'th FAQ question below for clarification.
These are simply sums, absolute figures. These totals are updated every 15 minutes and only include SPT flights that got airborne and with a duration of at least 15 minutes (total session time). When for technical reasons this data becomes older than 1 hour, it is not displayed.
Please note that the term SPT (Specialised Traffic) used hereby is different to what the SO Regulations recognises as SO (Special Operations) traffic. Please refer the 4'th FAQ question below for clarification.
While the SO Regulations defines Special Operations as "all aviation flights and operations that do not fall under the definition of General Air Traffic (GAT) and are thus qualified as Operational Air Traffic (OAT). [...] All traffic which does not comply with ICAO rules and procedures is termed Operational Air Traffic and thus falls under the responsibility of IVAO's Special Operations Department.", it is not particularly useful to use this precise definition for a number of purposes. In some cases a wider classification is required, the one that includes, for example, military, governmental and other special traffic in general, regardless of the kind rules it follows on a particular flight. The SO term is very specific and only applies to the traffic that performs flights under the rules other than civil rules; it has been defined as such for the purposes of classification and distinction of IVAO flights under the HQ–SOD SO Regulations, to delimit the area of responsibility of the HQ–SOD.
Very often the kind of traffic that performs such SO flights also performs flights under ordinary civil rules. For example, military flights very often operate under civil procedures. Indeed, it would have been not entirely correct to omit such type of traffic from statistics, current (live) flights and so on. Therefore, for a limited number of purposes, where explicitly indicated as such, the term SPT (Specialised Traffic) has been introduced.
SPT flights include the following (regardless the of kind of rules that are being followed): flights operated by military operators, state flights (military, police, and customs), flights operated by governmental and international bodies, ministries, agencies, etc., flights operated on military or special–use aircraft (except retired aircraft first introduced before approximately year 1950), flights of IVAO HQ–SOD registered Special Operations Groups (SOGs), flights of not IVAO HQ–SOD registered special groups (not yet registered, but routinely performing SPT flights), all the flights performing official IVAO SO WT legs, flights performing IVAO divisional SO or SPT–equivalent tours, search and rescue operations, firefighting operations, coast guard operations, medical evacuations, humanitarian operations, construction work flights, external loads operations, human external cargo operations, hoist operations, oil spill work, avalanche mining operations, parachute operations and skydiving, special events flights, including such as flying display and competition flights, agricultural flights, news media flights, air to air filming and air to ground filming, including aerial photography flights, news media flights, television and movie flights, glider towing flights, aerial advertising flights, aerial observation flights, aerial patrol flights, aerial survey flights, animal herding flights, animal rescue flights and veterinary dropping flights, dropping or spraying from an aircraft in flight, scientific research flights, cloud seeding flights, sensational flights, calibration flights, aerial work in general, high risk operations in general, as well as training flights for the above.
The term SPT Flight is only used on this website for the purposes of SPT Activity Score of each country, for displaying current (live) SPT Flights operating on the IVAO network, and for recent SPT Flights totals.
While the system and algorithm that identifies SPT flights is reliable, there is always a possibility that a small number of flights are either mis–identified (false positives) or not identified. Therefore, SPT figures should not be seen as absolute and totally precise. Please contact HQ–SOD if you notice possible errors with false positives and missing flights (please include the exact callsign and the date of observation).
Please note that this term does not apply to any part of the SO Regulations. SPT flights are not the same as SO flights; SPT flights include a much wider array of flights.
Only the international IVAO HQ–SOD approved Special Operations events are mentioned on this page and on this website in general. Civil and unofficial (not HQ–SOD approved) Special Operations events are not displayed here.

Armstrong's cycling coach Bruyneel gets 10-year doping ban
Lance Armstrong's longtime coach Johan Bruyneel was banned for 10 years Tuesday for helping organize widespread doping by the former seven-time Tour de France winner's cycling teams.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency announced the verdicts of an American Arbitration Association panel against Bruyneel and two medical staff.
Bruyneel "was at the apex of a conspiracy to commit widespread doping on the (U.S. Postal Service) and Discovery Channel teams spanning many years and many riders," USADA said in a statement.
Team doctor Pedro Celaya and trainer Jose "Pepe" Marti will serve eight-year bans, USADA said.
Bruyneel claimed he, Armstrong and the others have been made scapegoats for an era when doping was "a fact of life" in cycling.
"I do not dispute that there are certain elements of my career that I wish had been different," Bruyneel said in a statement. "However, a very small minority of us has been used as scapegoats for an entire generation. "
As a Belgian national, Bruyneel questioned USADA's right to prosecute him and said he would consider appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Bruyneel, Celaya and Marti faced charges including trafficking and administering doping products and methods, including EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, human growth hormone and cortisone. The ruling said Bruyneel had encouraged riders to cheat.
The verdicts followed a four-day hearing in London last December before a three-member AAA panel.
"The panel found that Bruyneel himself 'profited considerably from the successes of the teams and riders he managed during the relevant period,'" the USADA statement said.
Bruyneel refused to testify and "presented no fact witnesses on his own behalf," USADA said.
Marti also refused to testify, while Celaya was cross examined and found by the panel not to be a credible witness, the agency said.
Bruyneel is banned from working in all sports through June 11, 2022. Celaya and Marti's sanctions end on June 11, 2020.
The sanctions date from June 2012 when USADA accused Armstrong and his teams of widespread doping after a lengthy investigation.
Armstrong was stripped several weeks later of all his post-August 1998 race results, including all seven Tour titles, and banned for life by USADA. Doctors Michele Ferrari and Luis Garcia del Moral also did not challenge USADA's findings and lifetime bans.
In October 2012, USDA published its detailed verdict with hundreds of pages of evidence documenting the doping conspiracy, including witness statements from several Armstrong teammates.
At Bruyneel's closed-door hearing in London, 17 witness provided testimony, including eight cyclists, USADA said.
Celaya was doctor for the USPS/Discovery Channel team from 1997-98 and from 2004-07. He returned to work with Bruyneel at RadioShack Nissan Trek as the USADA investigation continued.
Marti worked for Bruyneel from 1999 to 2007, and then with the Astana team.
USADA said that Marti worked "most recently" for the Denmark-based Team Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank team, which is managed by 1996 Tour winner Bjarne Riis.

Megan and Dave // Mosaic Private Sancuary
After doing a couple shoot with Megan and Dave a few months back, I knew that their wedding was going to be fabulous. The whole day was held at the Mosaic Private Sanctuary just outside of Stanford - which is the most spectacular venue.
It was overcast for most of the day and then the sun came out just at the end of the day.

Although the experience of sitting on your couch for an HD porn viewing is unparalleled, most members of our species will go the quick and dirty laptop route instead. Time Warner Cable's CEO is peeved! They need that porno cash!
Cable chieftain Glenn Britt cited the declining porn figures as an excuse for the company's slumping video on demand revenues, All Things D reports:
One of the things going on with VOD is that there's been fairly steady trends over some time period now for adult to go down, largely because there's that kind of material available on the Internet for free. And that's pretty high margin. That's been not just this quarter, but going on for some time period.
One man's free, streaming Flash orgasm is another man's diminished margin. [All Things D]

Indo-Pac. j. phenomenol. (Online) vol.14 no.2 Grahamstown oct. 2014
Christopher R. Stones
In the process of preparing the papers included in the current edition for publication, an interlinking thread became apparent - that of the theme of narrativity, or the nature and role of narratives, in the fields of both phenomenology and psychotherapy. While directly addressed by the first paper, and both demonstrated and commented on by the second and third, narrativity is alluded to in the fourth as the link between the psychoanalytic process and hermeneutic phenomenology. The approach of the authors of both the book reviews submitted for this edition also happens to be such that their reviews are each as much a story about the reviewer and his experience of reading the book as about the book itself.
In this edition of the IPJP, narratives thus unfold as not only told but lived; as the inherent structure of human experience; as "part and parcel of the healer's art"; as the nature of interview data; as the character of the psychoanalytic process; as the link, through Ricoeur, between not only Husserl and Heidegger, but between phenomenology and Freud; and, within the framework of phenomenological research, as interpretatively mediated, as selective and self-edited, as paradoxical, as "ineluctably relational".
In the first paper, "Intentionality and Narrativity in Phenomenological Research: Reflections on Husserl and Ricoeur", Marc Applebaum, drawing on Ricoeur's theory of narrativity and narrative identity, addresses the implications for phenomenological research of the narrative structure of lived experience, proceeding from Ricoeur's premise that "all experience forms and presents itself in awareness as narrative" and that human experiences are thus "lived as already stories in potentia": "in the life narrative, the self is the narrator of its own story" (cf. Polkinghorne, 1988). As Applebaum points out, however, narrating one's story to another is nevertheless not equivalent to the living of the experience, but a lived experience in itself. The implications of this for both description and interpretation in phenomenological research are explored within the broader framework of Husserl's model of passive and active intentionality and his notions of Auffassung ("interpretative determination") and R|ckfragen ("questioning back"). Given that, within this framework, it is clear that any account of one's own lived experience, having active intentionality, is "inherently self-interpretative", the paper raises seminal questions not only about the extent to which interview data can ever reflect the Husserlian ideal of being purely descriptive of "the natural attitude" - but also as to whether that necessarily detracts from its phenomenological integrity. Ultimately, the question with which we are left is thus whether, in respect of phenomenological description, a hermeneutic dimension needs to be recognized as naturally part of the natural attitude, and hence whether description and interpretation are to be seen as integrated, rather than just complementary, both in the substance and the process of phenomenological research.
The next two papers, psychological in nature but incorporating fundamental anthropological themes, together present an in-depth case study of the process of becoming a traditional healer in the South African context. The first part of this dyad ("Becoming a Xhosa Healer: Nomzi's Story" by Beauty Booi and David Edwards) presents the life story of a Xhosa healer in the rural Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, as told in the course of a series of semi-structured interviews. Detailing her experience of the process of becoming a healer in response to experiencing what progressively came to be understood as an irrefutable call from the tribal ancestors, her account, spanning half a century, reveals her own understanding of her responses to the ancestral messages and symbols that appear to her in dreams. This graphically detailed description is followed by its sequel ("Interpretative Reflections on Nomzi's Story"), in which Edwards and Booi are joined by Manton Hirst, an anthropologist, in understanding the account given from alternative perspectives. Central to the authors' reflections on the themes of the story narrated by the traditional healer is the acknowledgement that "To have a story to tell, to be able to articulate experiences in words, is part and parcel of the healer's art, the ongoing therapy associated with becoming a Southern Nguni healer and practising as one. ... The healer's narrative in the Southern Nguni genre, which Nomzi's story exemplifies, directs the attention of listeners to the various insights it has to reveal." The paradoxes inherent in the story are examined within each of three hermeneutic frames: Xhosa tradition and cosmology, and hence the cultural understanding of an initiatory illness as a call from the ancestors to become a healer, and, as such, an integral part of the transformation process; the focus of clinical psychology on cognitive, emotional and behavioural disturbance; and, finally, the perspective of transpersonal psychology on shamanism, spiritual emergence, and, in particular, the quality of clairvoyance and the development of "healing gifts".
The fourth paper, by Archana Barua and Minakshi Das ("Phenomenology, Psychotherapy and the Quest for Intersubjectivity"), explores the possibilities, in the quest for intersubjectivity, for meaningful dialogue ─ an interconnected story if you will ─ between psychoanalysis and phenomenology. Historically, however ─ and, possibly, metabletically ─ psychoanalysis and phenomenology are already interconnected, both now being in their second century of development, with the first major works in both fields published within a year of each other (Freud's Interpretation of Dreams in 1900 and Husserl's Logical Investigations in 1900-1901). Karlsson (2010, p. 2) also identifies intriguing similarities in the life histories of the founders of psychoanalysis and phenomenology respectively. Both Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) and Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) were born, just three years apart, within the same half-decade of the 19th century in the same area of Moravia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg Empire, but now in the Czech Republic), both were Jewish (although Husserl converted to Protestantism in mid-life), and both studied under Franz Brentano in Vienna - with the stories of both in part thus a triumphant part of Brentano's life story. This paper also points to the link in the narrative and interpretative flow of the process of psychotherapy between "the art of relating" and "the science of understanding", the intersubjective and the theoretical, and the urge of contemporary psychoanalysis towards congruence in these regards. The paper concludes with Karlsson's view that phenomenology can contribute to "building a firmer bridge between psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice" and thus enable it "to be grounded in one adequate (for its purposes and conditions) epistemology" (2010, pp. 19-20).
While reading the above paper, I was suddenly struck by the significance of the dual meaning of the word "relating" as referring to both "connecting" (whether conceptually or intersubjectively) and "narrating". Is the essence of intersubjectivity perhaps the sharing of a story ─ whether as a participant in the lived experience of it, or, in the telling of it, as either the narrator or a listener? Is the essence of story-telling the connecting - whether experientially or relationally - of the Other and the I? As expressed in the paper by Edwards, Hirst and Booi, "Being embedded in the interactional setting that arises between narrator and listener in the dilated moment in which the tale unfolds, the narrative constitutes a social relationship in which the medium is the message" (p. 4). Applebaum, too, in referring to interview data as "embedded in relationality", infers much the same about the interrelatedness of the narrative data's meaningfulness and its situatedness in a relational context (p. 14).
And yet stories also connect one with oneself. Nietzsche, in the 1870s, pointed to the relationship between stories and identity, arguing that it is through stories that human beings define themselves, their boundaries, and their sense of their world, as well as the possibilities for themselves within its horizons. Without stories, asserted Nietzsche, man has no direction and becomes lost. Cultures, too, are embedded in the narratives that define them, and through which their unique identity has been shaped, transmitted and preserved, with the telling of communal stories connecting the individual with his or her cultural traditions and history. That storytelling has the power also to redefine lived reality was demonstrated in South Africa in the mid-1990s when the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was established with the mandate, as phrased in the country's Interim Constitution of 1993, to provide "a historic bridge" between "the past of a deeply divided society ... and a future ... [of] peaceful coexistence" (Omar, 1996, pp. 24-25). By enabling victims, as well as perpetrators, of gross human rights violations to tell their stories and have what they had experienced heard and responded to in a public forum, the culture of silence which had kept the truths of separately lived realities hidden for decades was broken, the history of the apartheid past was rewritten, and a healing process of reconciliation - with the past, between people, and across not only the racial but the experiential divides - was facilitated in ways that might otherwise not have been possible, enabling the process of transformation to an integrated society to proceed peacefully. In this regard, Cone's (1975) understanding of "truth as story" is pertinent:
I am not imprisoned within my story. Indeed, when I understand truth as story, I am more likely to be open to other people's truth stories. As I listen to other stories, I am invited to move out of the subjectivity of my own story into another realm of thinking and acting. The same is true for others when I tell my story ... . Indeed it is only when we refuse to listen to another story that our own story becomes ideological, that is, a closed system, incapable of hearing the truth. (pp. 102-104)
The current edition concludes with two book reviews. In the first, Bruce Bradfield relates his range of reactions to his reading of a text to which he found himself unable to relate, Darkening Scandinavia: Four Postmodern Pagan Essays by Francisc-Norbert Vrminy. While the author of this erudite work was given the opportunity to write a rebuttal, he instead proffered his "infinite thanks for this great and unusually-interesting and warmly-personal review", the "extremely sincere" thrust of which he found commendable: "I am more interested in reviews that describe the impact of the book on its reader (the way it collides with his horizon of expectation), than in those that dissect critically the conceptual apparatus that I put to work in the pages of my book".
The second review, by Rafael Winkler, is of The Weirdness of Being: Heidegger's Unheard Answer to the Seinsfrage by Ivo de Gennaro, who in this text explores the etymology of some key Heideggerian terms and the difficulties inherent in translations from, in particular, the archaic German forms: somewhere in which lies the clue to what the intriguing title of the book signifies.
On behalf of the editorial board of the IPJP, I conclude with the hope that, while relatively slender, this edition will nevertheless provide ample food for thought and stimulation of the imagination.

Please send the staff my thanks for their role in Jake's recovery. He often tells us how much he appreciated the staff for being genuine with him, something he recognized was missing with his "friends" at home.
Dear Red Rock. Thank you for helping [Jessie] learn to love herself again. The trauma she went through so long ago used to be a recurring nightmare, but now it's as if it is a long forgotten memory. She is healthy, happy, and now helps others at her school in group therapy overcome eating disorders and self image problems through their counseling center. You have been a blessing in our lives. Thank you for your help in her recovery.
I was so scared that I was losing my son to a lifestyle that was destroying his life. He went from the loving little boy to someone who hated everything about us in just a matter of months. When we realized he was in serious trouble we needed the kind of help we couldn't provide at home. Red Rock school led us by the hand through the entire ordeal. Week by week we started to see him returning to his old self, with pride, confidence, and a new outlook on life.
All I can say is "thank you for getting our family back together." The severity of our sons chemical addictions was tearing us apart. It was a difficult thing to go through, but in the end we're back together and closer than ever. Thank you.. thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Red Rock Canyon School was the last hope we had for getting real help for our daughter. We tried counseling, AA/NA, and even a wilderness program, but when things progressed to the point that her behavior was putting her in danger we sought help that could be with her 24×7 while she received professional help.
The program is wonderful, the staff is excellent. The experience of making the decision to send her away was extremely difficult. Once she was gone, I continued to feel the pressure, the questioning, of whether I was doing the right thing for her. But now, nearly a year after she has been home, I know that the experience at Red Rock literally saved her life. She also knows that sending her to Red Rock saved her life.

text: Alfonzo Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks to those who've sent in questions. We've had quite a few, this time around! The interview is still booked for the Saturday, so get yourself psyched. Just to inform those interested that we've recently bagged a date for the next episode of Program B, which will now be set to air on the 5th of May and feature one kristus of Doomworld. The discussion is now guaranteed to be on Doom 3 and 4, so once again: If you have any opinions, rantings or ravings you'd like to feature, PM them to me and I'll make sure I put on my best Brian Blessed when the time comes. 0 Share this post Link to post

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks and celebrate with friends and family over a delicious meal. A growing trend across the nation is to prepare and serve organic, locally grown and healthy foods, and this trend has now become present in homeless shelters.
Bruce Horovitz from USA Today wrote an article that explains the drive behind this movement of healthy food in shelters. The full article is available HERE.
Here are two quotes from the article as to why shelters are offering a healthy thanksgiving dinner for the homeless.
Director of Miriam's Kitchen in Washington, DC, Steve Badt, "If I have a guest coming to my house for Thanksgiving, I'm not going to open a can of beans for them. A homeless person who is my guest deserves no less. There's really no added expense, since all of the shelter's food is donated," Badt says. "Why can't a soup kitchen run like a high-end restaurant if it's not costing anyone else money?"
Co-pastor of the Greenpoint Reformed Church in Brooklyn, N.Y., Ann Kansfield, "Their dinner will be served the day before Thanksgiving and will include locally grown and organic fruits and veggies. "If that's how I feed my own children, that's how I prefer to serve other people's children."
It is this thinking and the generosity and donations of others that allows for the shelters to offer these healthy meals.
Lets take a cue from these shelters and make our own Thanksgiving celebrations happy, healthy and most importantly, organic.

We know that federal laws prohibit employers from discriminating against their employees. But what is discrimination in the workplace threshold, i.e. when a certain kind of treatment actually becomes discrimination? When one would know that he or she was treated illegally and could seek legal protection against discrimination? Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 made it illegal for employers to discriminate against their employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion. This rule applies to "compensation terms, conditions, or privileges of employment," i.e. basically to everything related to hiring and firing, compensation and benefits, retirement plans, disability leave, classification of employees, transfer and […]

Watch two Solid Sound experiments made by Nik Colk Void exclusively for The Wire.
The first film is titled Gold E Playback, and features Colk's handmade 7" sleeve for "Gold E". Void is asking people who bought the single to send her videos of the sleeve being played to be used in a future work (watch more of those videos here).
The second film is titled Swing. Of Swing, Colk says: "It's self explanatory – a bit like when I was asked to make a record, I made a record. I made a guitar swing, using swinging as an extended technique for guitar feedback."
Nik Colk Void is one third of Factory Floor, one third of Carter Tutti Void, and also creates and releases solo records. She is interviewed by Jennifer Lucy Allan in The Wire 340.

Last night, Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony and Hornets point guard Chris Paul made an appearance together at the "Watch the Throne" tour at Madison Square Garden. It has been no secret that Anthony and Paul have become closer during this lockout. The stars have been in lockout negotiation meetings together, they have played in numerous charity games together and they have gone on a Jordan brand tour in China together. Just last month, Anthony publicly said he would love to play with Paul. Personally, I think this is a good thing that the two are hanging out and going to concerts. Obviously this has no impact on basketball or anything but I think the more Melo and Paul continue to build a good relationship with each other, the more likely it is that the impending free agent Paul will bring his talents to Madison Square Garden in 2012. Lockout pending of course…Follow @tarmosino

DescriptionThe Citizens Defence Force does not trust the United Nations to keep a troubled 21st century world at peace. It confiscates a horde of planes and warships, and as a UN loyalist, it is your job to shoot them down. Solving starvation and disease can wait, apparently.
The game is split into 8 stages, which are split into sub-stages over land and sea, each of which has a strict time limit, and a target number of planes to shoot down. They take place from behind your plane, which can be controlled with 'up' referring to 'climb' or 'dive', depending on player preference. You are armed with 10 missiles as well as standard weapons. The plane can survive a few hits, so watch the damage report as it goes from red to black.
Fail to complete a section in the time limit and you use up a continue, but the amount of planes previously shot down is not reset, making the second attempt easier Chase HQ style. As you destroy enemies you gain access to better planes, and the rank reported at the end of the game improves – this is also dependent on the skill level you play at.

1001 Video GamesThe Arcade version of G-LOC: Air Battle (R-360) appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
Arcade versionG-Loc's main gimmick was that in the arcade version, you could find it in the so-called R360 cabinet variant, which placed the player in a hydraulic seat that was actually capable of making 360 turns and placing the player upside-down. Complete with safety bars and an "eject" button for the wusses that would immediately straighten the cabinet, the R360 even had a "demo" mode for people that just wanted to experience an amusement ride instead of actually playing the game.
Cover artUS/Europe Cover of the Game Gear version of G-Loc has a picture of F-16 Fighting Falcon in its cover. In the game however you pilot an F-14 Tomcat. An example of many cover-game inconsistencies during that time...

Sugar Rush: Chocolate Truffle Cake from Sacred Chow
Your daily dose of something sweet.
Most vegan and gluten-free sweets taste unavoidably healthy in one way or the other. Not this one.
The Chocolate Truffle Cake ($11) at Sacred Chow in the West Village is a pretty hefty number, big enough to share. It starts off with a ridiculously thick layer of chocolate ganache, so dense that it's almost overwhelming, but it's lightened just enough by a tart raspberry filling.
Eventually you reach the actual cake, which is slightly crumbly but pound-cake dense. There's a touch of grittiness to the crumb, but it's much more moist and cake-like than most x-free sweets of its kind. On their own, each layer may seem a little overwhelming, but get a bit of each of them on your fork, and the flavor and texture will be spot-on.

Stockholm University was the third university in Sweden and it was planned from 1865, opening in 1880 with Mittag-Leffler as its first professor of mathematics. We should note that although we shall refer to it here by its present name of Stockholm University, it was known in Sweden as Stockholms Högskola until 1950 which literally means "Stockholm High School".
Von Koch spent some time at Uppsala University from 1888. He was a student of Mittag-Leffler at Stockholm University. Von Koch's first results were on infinitely many linear equations in infinitely many unknowns. In 1891 he wrote the first of two papers on applications of infinite determinants to solving systems of differential equations with analytic coefficients. The methods he used were based on those published by Poincaré about six years earlier. The second of von Koch's papers was published in 1892, the year in which von Koch was awarded a doctorate for his thesis which contained the results of the two papers. Von Koch was awarded a doctorate in mathematics by Stockholm University on 26 May 1892. Garding writes in [2] that his doctoral thesis was:-
... a fantastically mature work ...Bernkoff writes in [1], however, that this work by von Koch:-
... cannot be called pioneering. His results were all fairly accessible, although many of the calculations are lengthy. He was aware, through a knowledge of Poincaré's work, of the possibility of obtaining pathological results but did little to explore them. Yet this work can be said to be the first step on the long road which eventually led to functional analysis, since it provided Fredholm with the key for the solution of his integral equation.Garding writes in [2]:-
After the thesis von Koch wrote many papers, among others some on infinite determinants, for instance in 1901, but the subject did not have many possibilities for extension and growth and present interest is nil.Between the years 1893 and 1905 von Koch had several appointements as an assistant professor of mathematics. He failed in his application for the chair of algebra and number theory at Uppsala University. In 1905 Bendixson, who had also been a student of Mittag-Leffler, resigned his professorship at KTH, (in Swedish Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan; in English the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm), when he accepted a chair at Stockholm University. Von Koch was then appointed to the chair of pure mathematics at the KTH. In July 1911 von Koch succeeded Mittag-Leffler as professor of mathematics at Stockholm University.
Von Koch's snowflake.
Von Koch is famous for the Koch curve which appears in his paper Une méthode géométrique élémentaire pour l'étude de certaines questions de la théorie des courbes plane Ⓣ published in 1906. This is constructed by dividing a line into three equal parts and replacing the middle segment by the other two sides of an equilateral triangle constructed on the middle segment. Repeat on each of the (now 4) segments. Repeat indefinitely. It gives a continuous curve which is of infinite length and nowhere differentiable. If one starts with an equilateral triangle and applies the construction, one gets the von Koch snowflake (sometimes called the von Koch star) as the limit of the construction.
The von Koch snowflake is a continuous curve which does not have a tangent at any point. Von Koch's 1906 paper mainly consists of a proof of this fact. He also shows in the paper that there are two functions f and g which are both nowhere differentiable such that the snowflake curve is
Von Koch also wrote papers on number theory, in particular he wrote several papers on the prime number theorem such as Sur la distribution des nombres premiers Ⓣ in 1901 and Contribution à la théorie des nombres premiers Ⓣ in 1910.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Fresh off the heels of being named the 2013 National Junior College Athletic Association Division I Defensive Player of the Year, Mike Korte has signed a National Letter of Intent to Lipscomb baseball for the 2014 season as announced by head coach Jeff Forehand on Monday.
The Malabar, Fla., native was nearly flawless in the field in 2013 making just five errors in 184 attempts for a .973 fielding percentage. Korte notched 83 putouts, 96 assists and turned 10 double plays as a sophomore at Indian River State Community College in Ft. Pierce, Fla.
"Mike is a great fit for our school and our baseball program," said Forehand. "He will be an immediate impact player for us as a lockdown defender up the middle that also has the ability to set the table on offense. He brings great knowledge of the game and a work ethic that will be second-to-none."
Along with defensive player of the year honors, Korte also garnered an American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings NJCAA Gold Glove Award. The left-handed hitting Korte hit .287 with 23 RBIs, four doubles, 13 runs scored and put the ball in play fanning only 10 times in 146 plate appearances.

By Saving Coin from Texas
My Husband and I love them! They really are very high quality, the best value around, and 2 1/2 inch blinds rock! They look so shutter-like, from the inside and out....We were struggling a little, alot really, when using the screws that came with them, so took a quick trip and purchased some flat-head drywall screws (an expert in the blinds department at the store suggested them) and wow, we were drilling skippy fast and done to enjoy! We just ordered more for the rest of the windows in our home, Yah!!! We self-measured, self-installed, hadn't ever done it before, and they look fantastic, so you can do it...save some coin! The instructions are kinda lacking, but no worries, just use your common sense with these, and/or someone else's too, or call the company...they're really customer-friendly.

Vatican polls Catholics on birth control, marriage
NEW YORK (AP) — The Vatican is taking the unusual step of conducting a worldwide survey on how parishes deal with sensitive issues such as contraception, divorce and gay couples.
The survey asks how priests minister to same-sex couples and their children — and to men and women living together outside of marriage.
The poll was sent in mid-October to every national bishops conference with instructions to get the widest possible response. The information is for a major meeting on the family that Pope Francis plans next year.
The National Catholic Reporter was first to report the survey Thursday. A U.S. bishops' spokeswoman told The Associated Press the document is authentic and each bishop will decide how to get input.
In England, bishops posted the survey online asking church members to participate.

Abolishing the War System: The Big Picture
About the murderous rampage of U.S. soldiers from the 5th Stryker Combat Brigade, who killed and dismembered Afghani civilians evidently "for sport," the Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported on September 20, "Army officials have not disclosed a motive" for the outrage. Let me try.
Violence is puzzling when we can't see the forest for the trees. If we focus on just this event—and it's certainly a shocker—we may not realize that it's part of a much larger pattern. We must take a step back—in fact, two steps—and take in the whole picture.
What these men did is only one of many signs of breakdown in both of our long, drawn-out wars in the Middle East. In Iraq, for example, from a report filed by McClatchy's Washington Bureau on September 17:
- Drug and alcohol abuse in the ranks, and the associated misdemeanor offenses, have risen alarmingly in the nine-year course of the war."Drug and alcohol abuse is [now] a significant health problem in the Army," stated a 350-page report the Army released in July.
- Sexual assault tripled in the period 2001-2009; and most telling:
- So did suicide. There were 148 Army suicides in the first six months of this year and the toll is expected to surpass last year's grim total of 160.
Moreover, record numbers of veterans from both wars are unable to work, maintain relationships, or stay out of jail.
At least now the Army is starting to lend some humane attention to these men and women, after a decade of denial and neglect. Said Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli, the vice chief of staff of the Army:
We can't use these people up, have them develop a problem and then throw them away and not take care of them. There is no way. I can't be part of an organization like that. Part of the reason they're having the problem is the situation we put them into.
And what is that situation? These soldiers lose it because they were put into a war that should never have been fought. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq—and our leaders knew it. Similarly, it was not necessary to destroy the entire Taliban movement—assuming that military force could accomplish such a thing—to capture Osama bin Laden (which, of course, has not happened anyway).
But to get the final answer, we have to step back yet again. We have to recognize that there is such a thing as moral progress. Slavery was considered normal from the earliest records of history down to the 19th century of our era, when a small band of Quakers in London started a movement that broke the spell and suddenly brought to light the horror of enslaving another human being. Slavery still happens, but that's because of other factors; it was formally abolished in the 19th century because the time was right for people to wake up and stop looking on a whole race of human beings as objects, as possessions.
Today, we are reaching a similar crisis with the institution of war. Despite appearances, people are becoming more aware that we cannot solve problems by waging war on them. If you are not aware that this is happening, you are not alone; watch any news or "entertainment" program and you'll see that competition, violence and war are still considered "normal." It's rare to spot nonviolent, alternative methods, since they are so rarely featured in mainstream media.
Heal the Warrior, Heal the Country:
Our country will not find peace until we take responsibility for our wars.
It is significant that a good number of the troubled veterans we just mentioned are not suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), exactly, but a variant recently uncovered by psychologist Rachel McNair that she calls PITS: perpetration induced traumatic stress. Simply put, when we do violence against others, we are in some psychological way hurting ourselves—and that pain is becoming more evident as the patina of glory surrounding war wears off. One brigade commander correctly pointed out that the drug problem is "just a symptom of the disease." But the name of the disease is not dysfunctional leaders or lax discipline or a particular conflict that should not have been fought; it's war.
Back when he was campaigning, soon-to-be President Obama said that we must "not only end war [in Iraq] but end the mindset that leads to war." Of course, he did nothing of the kind. And, so, it's up to us.
I encourage anyone who hasn't already done so to familiarize him- or herself with the alternatives to war that fall into three broad categories:
- living more lightly on the earth, since most wars today are fought over its diminishing resources;
- diplomacy, mediation, and international institutions that can keep disputes from turning into wars; and
- nonviolent mechanisms to deal with the wars that nonetheless break out, like the unarmed interventions just mentioned that are helping to reduce violence in trouble spots all over the world now.
I recommend that we all learn about these things and talk about them with family, friends, and our congressmen or women. You may not get anything but raised eyebrows at first, but remember what Gandhi said about a real innovation: "First they ignore you; then they laugh at you; then they fight you—and then you win."
- : 7 reasons we're always at war ... and 7 ways to quit.
- : Activists made the connection between unemployment and our outsize military budget.
- : Here's evidence that nonviolence is the most powerful tool to promote democracy and overthrow tyranny.

Any other ideas for petitions that would benefit the nation or others for that matter?
Views: 496
Well, my own to acknowledge the equal rights of atheists and agnostics is going to die in eight more days with a whopping sixty-nine signatures. Petition link I don't expect one to remove the tax-exempt status of churches - no chance in hell the government or the majority would permit that.
Signed yours.
Thank you for signing mine! I am signing yours as well. I shared here in an attempt to get as much attention as possible as it would be futile on my personal FB page. I would most likely be ignored there...While it seems at the moment nothing huge will be accomplished, I want it to at least be an ongoing issue presented to the government and the people so that maybe one day majority will flip around to our favor.
More than happy to sign that one. Thanks!
Thank you!
By the rules of the White House site, your petition will not be searchable on the site until it reaches 150 signatures, thus having access to social media (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, all those places I have no access to) and such sites as this are critical in getting those 150 first signatures, unless you personally know that many people who would sign.
My own petition is hampered by the fact I live in a village in Nebraska of 128 people, there are only three Internet connexions in town (including my house), and I know few people outside my village.
Man, this has been viewed quite a few times yet there are only five signatures on the petition (including my own). A little disappointed. I'd repost it, but I don't want to spam the community.
Well, the trick about getting your petition noticed is to send it as far and wide as possible. Posting it to Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter and asking all your acquaintances to repost it gets it more attention, and getting past that first goal of 150 signatures is critical. You have to be aggressive about spreading it.
Also, E-mail it to everyone you know, and ask them to forward the E-mail to everyone they know.
My petition is up to seventy, and it expires in six days. A good number of people who signed it are actually Christians I know who feel that discrimination is inappropriate in any setting. I am hampered by not being on any social network and living in a town of 128.
Even though I spread mine to the Secular Coalition for America and asked them to promote it, they did not. (And I am part of the steering committee setting up a state chapter in Nebraska.)
I am of the opinion that atheists get what they deserve if they will not stand up for their rights. No one will do it for them.
Kelly - I would sign but this looks like something set up for people with U.S. addresses and I am a Canadian.
Thanks anyway!
Signed gladly. I'm sick to death of sprawling megachurches and parsonages which resemble the Taj Mahal and preachers who wear more bling than some rappers!
Enough is ENOUGH!
Thank you!

Lomotil Side Effects
Lomotil is used for treating diarrhea. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Lomotil is an antidiarrheal and anticholinergic combination. It works by decreasing the motion of muscles in the intestines and prolonging the time it takes to move the contents through the body.
Do NOT use Lomotil if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Lomotil
- you have diarrhea caused by certain conditions (eg, pseudomembranous colitis, enterotoxin-producing bacteria, food poisoning)
- you have jaundice (yellowing of the eyes or skin)
- you have a blockage of the stomach or bowel, angle-closure glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, urinary blockage, excess acid in the stomach or throat, esophagus problems (eg, difficulty swallowing, inflammation), bowel muscle weakness, or heart problems with severe bleeding
- you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Lomotil:
Some medical conditions may interact with Lomotil. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of jaundice (yellowing of the eyes or skin) or megacolon
- if you have abnormal blood levels of electrolytes (eg, potassium, sodium), ulcerative colitis, liver or kidney problems, Down syndrome, numbness due to nerve damage, prostate problems (enlarged prostate), a blockage of the bladder, trouble urinating, heart problems (eg, congestive heart failure, irregular heartbeat), hiatal hernia, asthma, open-angle glaucoma, or risk factors for glaucoma
- if you are dehydrated
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Lomotil. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Antihistamines (eg, diphenhydramine), medicine for Parkinson disease (eg, benztropine), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because they may increase the risk of Lomotil's side effects
- Barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital) or sodium oxybate (GHB) because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Lomotil
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) (eg, phenelzine) because the risk of serious side effects, including severe high blood pressure, may be increased
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Lomotil may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Lomotil:
Use Lomotil as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take Lomotil by mouth with or without food.
- If you miss a dose of Lomotil and you are taking it regularly, take it as soon as possible. If several hours have passed or if it is nearing time for the next dose, do not double the dose to catch up, unless advised by your health care provider. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Lomotil.
Important safety information:
- Lomotil may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or blurred vision. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Lomotil with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Do not drink alcohol or use medicines that may cause drowsiness (eg, sleep aids, muscle relaxers) while you are using Lomotil; it may add to their effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may cause drowsiness.
- Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor. This could increase the risk of serious side effects.
- If your symptoms do not get better within 10 days (2 days for children) or if they get worse, check with your doctor.
- Do not become overheated in hot weather or while you are being active; heatstroke may occur.
- Report any symptoms of fluid or electrolyte loss to your doctor: dry mouth; thirst; weakness; lethargy; drowsiness; restlessness; muscle pain or cramps; muscle weakness; low blood pressure; infrequent urination; rapid heartbeat; stomach disorders such as nausea and vomiting.
- Lomotil may make your eyes more sensitive to sunlight. It may help to wear sunglasses.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Lomotil before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Use Lomotil with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially excitement, agitation, or drowsiness.
- Lomotil should not be used in CHILDREN younger than 13 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.
- Caution is advised when using Lomotil in CHILDREN 13 years of age and older; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Lomotil while you are pregnant. Lomotil is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Lomotil, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.
When used for longer than a few weeks or at high doses, some people develop a need to continue taking Lomotil. This is known as DEPENDENCE or addiction. Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
Possible side effects of Lomotil:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Blurred vision; constipation; decreased sweating; difficulty sleeping; dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth, nose, or skin; headache; loss of appetite; loss of taste; nausea; nervousness.
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); abdominal bloating or swelling; agitation; changes in heartbeat; confusion; continued or severe diarrhea; delirium; difficulty focusing your eyes; difficulty urinating; exaggerated sense of well-being; excitement; fast/irregular heartbeat; fever; hallucinations; numbness of the hands or feet; severely enlarged pupils; severe or prolonged restlessness; speech disturbance; unusual weakness; vomiting.
This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.

In this final step, a scatter plot is generated from the normalized allelic discrimination data and alleles are called to determine the genotype of each sample. The inclusion of samples with <5% functional template may interfere with the AutoCall feature of the Sequence Detection Systems (SDS) Software. If this occurs, the alleles can be called manually. The allelic discrimination plot of a typical experiment contains four separate, distinct clusters which represent the no-template controls and three possible genotypes.
>> Recommendation: Collect data by post-plate read on the 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System, and use the AutoCall feature of the SDS software to accurately and reproducibly call alleles.
Case Study
After amplification, the reactions were evaluated via SDS 2.2.1 software using the post-plate read and AutoCalling (quality value threshold: 95) features.
The reproducibility of our recommended SNP genotyping procedure is demonstrated in Figure 3, which shows typical replicate allelic discrimination plots.
The reliability of this procedure is indicated by the results for 10 different TaqMan SNP genotyping assays, which are summarized in Figure 4. For samples containing at least 5% functional template, there is high correlation between observed and expected genotype frequencies. When samples containing less than 5% functional template are included in the analysis, the percent of samples that can be genotyped decreases. Taken together, these data suggest that to ensure that the AutoCall assigns a genotype to a sample, it is important to use only DNA samples that contain >5% functional template as determined by RNase P detection. Otherwise, all samples should be assayed and alleles called manually if the AutoCall feature is unable do so.
Figure 3. Achieve Highly Reproducible and Reliable Data from TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assay. 1 ng, as quantified by RNase P detection, of each human FFPE DNA sample (n=105) was amplified in replicate for 60 cycles followed by AutoCalling using SDS 2.2.1 Software. Gene Symbol: GABRA2, Assay ID: C___8263011_10
Figure 4. Results Summary of TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays. Data was tabulated after removing all FFPE DNA samples with a ≤ 5% functional template. The "Expected Genotype Frequencies" (columns 9–11) are based on the gene frequencies of each polymorphism in the sample population. The observed genotype frequencies (columns 5–7) fit the expected genotype frequencies within a 95% confidence interval, using an appropriate chi-square test. Finally, the percent of samples genotyped is shown both before and after removal of the low quality samples (columns 12 and 13).

Congratulations Ladies! And thank you everyone so much for entering! I know it sounds cliche to say I wish you could all win, but I really do feel that way.
This giveaway was so much fun, I just might have another one coming up soon ... stay tuned, kay? ;)
* * * * * * *
And now for the last episode of Project Simplify, the Mini-Series.
Dream Big - or Little (15.5" x 17.5"), as the case may be.
As with the big one, this quiltlet (love that name!) is borderless. I had just enough scraps to eke out this little one.
Because it's so small, I didn't scrap the binding like I did on the big one. But my stash didn't let me down and I found a perfectly cute polka dot cream from another Fig Tree line - Mill House Inn - that was perfect for the job.
And I'm totally digging this teeny tiny flower / swirly twirly FMQing that I've done on 2 other quiltlets here and here. I think it's my favorite FMQ design.
Big and little.
And once again a little back fun. :)
Ok people, stick a fork in me I'm done. I'm pretty sure this is it for Project Simplify. It's time to draw the curtains and turn off the lights for this ... wonderful thing that has been so much fun for me and hopefully for you.
Thanks again to all of you who commented throught the process of me sewing my way through Camille's book - twice. You've inspired me, encouraged me, taught me and best of all, made me laugh. Seriously, you guys are hilarious. :)
Ok wait. This sorta sounds like I'm quitting my blog ... I'M NOT! Wild horses couldn't drag me away from my sewing machine & computer. I'm just saying good bye to Project Simplify. Kay? I'll be back tomorrow with more FW blocks. Promise. As long as at least one person out there in Inter-Web-Landia has a decidedly inexplicable taste for my silliness, I'll be here.
Besides, since one of my best bloggy friends (who has an amazingly beautiful blog) just taught me how to make these very cool photo mosaics, I need an excuse to make more. ;)
