Need Instant Connections? Washington ISP Companies Soar High!
Washington ISP (Internet Service Providers) are well-established companies who provide subscribers throughout the state a selection of high-speed Internet services. With promotions ranging from bundled packages to individual cable, DSL, VoIP, and satellite connections, Washington ISP companies are standing by ready to bring the Web to your door.
What makes Washington ISP companies stand apart is the degree of attention placed on customer service. Skilled technicians are available any time of the day or night with answers to your questions. Additionally, most Washington ISP companies have websites with online access, including frequently asked questions (FAQ), step-by-step installation and startup guides, and email contact forms.
Washington Internet Service Providers (or ISPs) are constantly focusing on ways to improve service in your area. With ongoing research and improvements to existing cable, DSL, VoIP, satellite, and fiber optics, Washington ISP organizations focus on making high-speed Internet connection easily accessible, maintenance-free, affordable, and convenient. All this and much more is now available to subscribers of Qwest High Speed Internet
ISP Washington - Hang Up Your Telephone
Telephone dial-up modems are quickly becoming ancient history. The goal of Washington's ISP groups is to keep your telephone line free while providing round-the-clock high-speed Internet access. Using cable, DSL, or satellite technology, your telephone line is not involved. That translates into instant Web access without the need to either monopolize your phone line or have a second line installed. And, with the birth of VoIP, where telephone access is done using your cable connection, traditional telephone land lines may one day be entirely extinct!
ISP Washington - Speeds that Can't Be Ignored
The speed of cable, DSL, or satellite connections outweigh telephone dial-up modem speeds by at least 20 times. In Washington, ISP companies are enabling dial-up customers to reap the benefits of faster access by offering ongoing promotions throughout the state . Since most Washington customers consider cost as a priority in their decision between one ISP and another, prices are coming down at record-breaking rates! What hasn't changed are the high speeds DSL, cable, and satellite Internet access methods are providing. The bottom line is that Washington consumers get the best of both worlds - fast speed for less money!

Kids? At A Ballgame?
The scoreboard operators here at Frontier Field in Rochester did it either out of habit, or out of sleep deprivation – they'd been there late Wednesday, and this game was an 11:05 AM start. Whichever explanation, this much is certain. They will not do it again.

They sure are cute! (Don't tell Jacob I said that.)
Nails on a chalkboard is right..*cringe*
But Jacob and Eve are definitely cuties! She seems like she is gunning for the Olbermann family position of #1 Yankee fan. Her uncle is teaching her well!
Nails on a chalkboard is right.. *cringe*
But Jacob and Eve sure are cuties! She seems as if she is gunning for the Olbermann family position of #1 Yankees fan. Her uncle has taught her well.
Awwwwww! That's Eve? Of "Good night, Eve" fame? What a cutie!!!
Happy post-birthday to Jake too!
Eve is going to be a heart – breaker! Her dad & her uncle better give her the "heads up" on what teen – aged guys can be like when she gets to be that age! ;D You seem to be enjoying your time off; I'm so glad!
Hey, the kids are adorable! Still can't believe you missed the All Star Break, though. Happy Birthday to your nephew.
Sadly, variations of "Make Some Noise" seem to be used at virtually every ball park these days, even at the Major League level.
It's my contention that real baseball fans do not need to be told when to cheer. Too bad teams don't take this opportunity to teach kids something about baseball: How to keep score, fundamentals of the game, etc., and turn them into real baseball fans instead of mindless noisemakers.
I guess getting people to act like sheep and scream when the message board tells them to is easier.
My grandfather worked at Kodak for his entire career, so I went to many a Red Wings game when I visited them every summer. In 1992 I caught a foul ball at a Red Wings game – the ball was pitched by Arthur Rhodes and hit by Vinny Castilla. What are the odds that both would go on to long productive major league careers?
I now live in Austin, and I love going to Dell Diamond in Round Rock to watch the Express. Last Sunday night, the Express honored the 1959 Austin Senators, who won the Texas League championship that year. But they never got their rings, until now. Check out the newspaper coverage, what a great story! http://www.statesman.com/search/content/sports/stories/express/2009/07/19/0719express.html
I must say this is my favorite baseball blog. It's wonderful to read something by not only a great yankees fan, but also a passionate baseball historian. The little family touches help one realize how the sport is still just a game, and hopefully its appreciation will be passed down for years to come.

America's Cup expedites overdue projects
The great thing about events like the America's Cup is that even if they flop, the long-term payoff for the host city can be rewarding.
I refer not to the balance sheet at San Francisco's City Hall, but to civic improvements that in this case might not otherwise occur.
These projects include a new cruise terminal and a more pedestrian-friendly Fisherman's Wharf. While they've been on the city's to-do list for ages, they became priorities in response to the hype surrounding a regatta that could draw hundreds of thousands of viewers for the final batch of high-profile yacht races on the bay.
We'll see what happens now that only four yachts will compete in the series being held from July to September. Mayor Ed Lee's administration is scrambling to help raise $32 million so taxpayers won't be stuck with the tab for city services related to the event. But three infrastructure projects already are leaving their mark in ways that are long overdue.
The cruise terminal is the most visible change, a long box of aluminum and glass that for now sits behind fences along the south edge of Pier 27.
Elegant and lean
Named the James R. Herman Cruise Terminal after a former union leader, the structure will be handed off next week to the regatta operators. In November, the Port of San Francisco will resume control and add the interior touches necessary for the security and servicing of cruise ships that disgorge as many as 4,000 passengers onto the gangplank.
There's no flash in the design by KMD Architects and Pfau Long Architecture. Instead we get a work of intricate, elegant craft - a streamlined modern take on the functional waterfront of old.
The materials are simple: steel structural columns and beams, corrugated aluminum panels, large panes of glass. What counts is how they're assembled. The shed is arranged as two parallel bars of space, one pushed 30 feet closer to the Embarcadero than the other. The glass panes on one bar line up horizontally, then vertically on the other. The corrugated panels come in three patterns that add visual interest without being fussy.
The roofline adds the lone flourish with angled forms that extend beyond the building edges, rippling above each bar like two placid silver waves. The one facing into the pier is supported by columns that are single lines of steel, 40 feet tall.
If the exterior is restrained - "we aimed for something just beyond an industrial shed," architect Peter Pfau says - the interior is downright spare. Most of the ground floor is reserved for baggage storage and pickup. Upstairs is passenger screening, the waiting lounge and the customs zone. The latter space can be sealed off when the building is used for functions such as spillovers from visiting conventions.
The $46 million construction budget for the current phase, cobbled together from various sources, dictated off-the-shelf material for much of the exterior. The basic dimensions of the structure correspond to already existing piles beneath the pier. In each case, the limitations tightened the design.
Wide sidewalks on way
Another civic upgrade is still in progress, the makeover of two blocks of Jefferson Street.
The stretch between Hyde and Jones streets is being redone to favor pedestrians, with a 30-foot-wide sidewalk on the north side that will invite outdoor dining. The south side keeps the mature trees but removes such obstructions as utility boxes.
The roadway between has been narrowed from 37 t0 24 feet, with one lane of traffic each way and a speed limit of 15 mph.
The Planning Department has made the case for such changes since 2008. Now, crews overseen by the Department of Public Works are installing curbs and getting ready to pour asphalt and sidewalk concrete for a $5 million installation scheduled to be complete by June.
Benches with a view
One other bit of infrastructure is already in place and easy to miss.
It's a 35-foot-wide sidewalk with an open railing at water's edge and 57 benches, most set back to back so you can watch the wharf scene as well as savor an open stretch of water between Pier 39 to the east and the seafood restaurants to the west. This sounds obvious until you consider what was there before: a parking lot.
The port already had set aside funds for a project it conceived in 2003. But officials say that the final design was done with large events in mind.
Improvements of this nature should happen as a matter of course in a city as prosperous as San Francisco. Instead, they often languish because resources are diverted to more vocal constituencies, or they stall because interest groups squabble endlessly over the details.
Cup a galvanizing force
Then comes a galvanizing force such as the America's Cup. It frees up money for basics like an improved Jefferson Street, long the shoddy main drag of the tourist zone. The tight schedule makes the permitting process for the cruise terminal a bureaucratic priority.
Not only is the cruise terminal the first major building on the city's waterfront since AT&T Park, next year it will be joined by a landscaped public place along the Embarcadero and walkways around the pier with revelatory views. Long after the America's Cup fuss is forgotten, we'll still be enjoying both.

A Confederate battle flag flew atop a state building in Mississippi for a couple hours after workers mistakenly bought it, a state spokeswoman told the Clarion-Ledger newspaper.
The flag was put up on the state Supreme Court building in Jackson about 2 p.m. Friday and taken down by 4 p.m.
Kym Wiggins, public information officer for the state Department of Finance and Administration, gave this account, the Clarion-Ledger said:
Workers went to a local vendor to buy new flags to replace a state flag that was torn. They were given two boxes labeled "Mississippi State Flag" -- but the flags inside were Confederate battle flags. A maintenance worker then put up the flag, and the mistake wasn't noticed for a couple of hours.
Wiggins described the incident as "highly unusual."
A professor emeritus of political science at the University of Southern Mississippi gave the Clarion-Ledger a different take. "Have we seceded already?" said Joseph Parker. "The execution is faster than I thought."

Istanbul: Swimming across the Bosphorus
Stephen Kinzer was the New York Times bureau chief in Istanbul. He arrived in the city in 1996 and wrote a book entitled Crescent and Star (2001) when he left. Kinzer fell in love with many aspects of Turkish culture, from the poetry of Salonika-born Nazim Hikmet to the raki and meze (small plates of starters) in Turkish restaurants and the water pipe in the nargile salon. He marveled at the dynamism of the country but also described a country - then on the eve of candidate status for EU membership - in the grips of a great national dilemma: a new nation was emerging but a ruling elite refused to embrace it "or even to admit that it exists":
"Military commanders, prosecutors, security officers, narrow-minded bureaucrats, lapdog newspaper editors, rigidly conservative politicians and other members of this sclerotic cadre remain psychologically trapped in the 1920s. They see threats from across every one of Turkey's eight borders and, most dangerously, from within the country itself. In their minds Turkey is still a nation under siege […] This dissonance, this clash between what the entrenched elite wants and what more and more Turks want, is the central fact of life in modern Turkey."
Kinzer also fell in love with Istanbul, "the world's most magnificently situated city", and especially with the Bosphorus and its rich history, spanning from the days of the Argonauts sailing to the Black Sea in search of the golden fleece to the commercial waterway of the present.
"In 512 B.C. the Persian emperor Darius built a pontoon bridge across the Bosphorus at its narrowest point, barely seven hundred yards across, so that he could march his army of seventy thousand men into Europe. Overlooking that same spot, Sultan Mehmet II built the breathtaking fortress called Rumeli Hisari, from which he set out to conquer Constantinople in 1453. It still stands, the most exquisite and delicately shaped piece of military architecture on earth."
Kinzer's most enduring Bosphorus fantasy was that of swimming across it. So one morning he set out:
"I wanted to swim westward from Asia to Europe because that is the destiny of Turkish history. We found a small inlet below the ruins of Anadolu Kavagi, a twelfth-century Byzantine castle on the Asian side, and there, after waiting for a freighter to glide silently by, I started. … To orient myself I focused on a green shape on the shore that I first thought was a yali but turned out to be a fishing vessel docked at Yeni Mahalle, the northernmost settlement on the European side. I swam to it and past it. Just thirty-nine minutes after setting out, having covered a distance of slightly more than a mile, I touched the seawall. No moment in my life in Turkey filed me with such rich and complex satisfaction."

Richard Rorty (SAGE Masters in Modern Social Thought Series)【海外直送】【英語の本】【洋書】Richard Rorty (SAGE Masters in Modern Social Thought Series)
This is the first systematic assessment of the work of Richard Rorty - one of the most provocative and influential thinkers writing today. It will be an essential reference for academics and students in philosophy, social theory, sociology, cultural studies and literary theory. Rorty's fertile writings have challenged not just the assumptions behind the relatively narrow analytic tradition he was first trained in, but those concerning the very nature of social thought itself. The critical articles collected in these four volumes follow the trajectory of Rorty's whole career, from his early work in analytic philosophy to his later writings on pragmatism, continental philosophy, literature, culture, and liberal politics. The collection is divided into four volumes: - Philosophy: this volume looks at how Rorty's contribution to the analytic tradition was assessed by his peers at the time and then examines how his later, more explicitly post-analytic, writings relate to traditional philosophical topics such as truth' and realism'. - Post-Analytic Pragmatism: Volume Two examines Rorty's post-analytic pragmatism'. It begins by considering how Rorty prepared for a shift into this territory, and then looks more closely at the kind of pragmatism he sought to establish; the volume contains discussions of the kind of pragmatism that emerges from both "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature" (1979) and "Consequences of Pragmatism "(1982). - Politics, Irony and Solidarity provides an assessment of Rorty's account of irony and examines its relationship to his liberal politics. - Culture, Interpretation and Conversations: this final volume examines Rorty's viewson philosophy as a form of cultural conversation and discusses his interpretations or appropriations' of other philosophers. Of special interest here are his readings of continental philosophers such as Hegel, Heidegger and Derrida, where it is acknowledged that one Rorty's most important contributions to social thought has been to make the work of such philosophers more accessible to readers unfamiliar with, or even hostile to, the continental tradition. Volume 4 concludes with a definitive bibliography, which will be an invaluable resource for researchers and students. Edited by Alan Malachowski - a leading commentator on Rorty's work - this collection will be the standard reference work on one of the canonical theorists of the late 20th century.

The Burger Bus, a School Bus-Turned-Food Truck
There are loads of food trucks out there, but I don't think many of them are made of old school buses. The Burger Bus in Santa Barbara, California, is just that: a school bus that sells burgers. In an interview with The Santa Barbara Independent, co-owner Michael Gardner explained that he and his wife Cheryl picked a school bus because other options were too expensive (new trucks), too old (used trucks), or not large enough. Their burgers are made of 100 percent grass-fed, hormone-free beef from Shalhoobs and other locally-sourced products, such as the jalapeño jelly from Mama's Preserves on their CB&J (cheeseburger and jelly). And for vegetarians, their menu includes falafel.
You can find the Burger Bus at different locations from Monday through Friday. Check out where at theburgerbus.com or follow them on Twitter at @TheBurgerBus.

Two high school football teams in suburban Detroit came together Friday to give one young man his opportunity to shine.
Robby Heil, of Novi, Michigan, has Down syndrome. He's a senior at Novi High School, and proudly sports a jersey with the No. 24 as the football team's longtime water boy.
"Our team's seen him as part of the family," Novi coach Jeff Burnside told NBC affiliate WDIV.
U.S. & World
So when they learned that Robby's mother Debbie was battling cancer, they hatched a plan to give their family a very special memory.
After a timeout during Friday's game against South Lyon High School, who was in on the plan, Robby took the field ready to play. The quarterback handed him the ball and he took off, running more than 20 yards to score a touchdown.
Debbie had no idea it was coming, and grew emotional watching her son fulfill a lifelong dream.
"It was incredible, I did not know about this," Debbie told WDIV through tears. "This team has just been so instrumental with helping me get him to practice like when I'm at chemo, and it really takes a village to raise my son and this village has really been outstanding."
"No matter how bad a day he's having, it's a smile from ear-to-ear," Coach Burnside said. "An opportunity to put that helmet on tonight, it brought tears to my eyes and I'm pretty sure tears all over the place."
While the touchdown didn't count for the game, even the opposing team joined in celebrating Heil's victory, presenting him with a South Lyon jersey bearing the No. 1.

3 Common Misconceptions about Pain:
- My pain is persistent. I've tried gels, painkillers, injections and alternative treatments which did not work. There is no choice except for surgery.
- My pain is due to wear and tear, age related degeneration. Nothing much can be done, while it gets worse with time. I must just learn to live with it.
- My pain is due sports injury and exercise causing a muscle, ligament or cartilage tear. The only options are resting, physiotherapy, steroid injections and maybe surgery.

|Joseph Stefano, who wrote this episode, also wrote and produced the classic first season of "The Outer Limits".
The Away Team returns to try and negotiate with the creature, which calls itself Armus. It seems intent on denying them access to the shuttle, merely wanting to amuse itself by provoking the officers to fear and anger. In between arguing with the Away Team Armus drapes itself over the shuttle and talks to Deanna, trying to provoke the same reactions in her. It claims that it is a personification of evil; a race of beings who once lived on the planet learned to take all their negative emotions and purge them in the form of this black "skin".
On the Enterprise, the sensors detect that there is a drop in the dampening field the creature is using to block the transporter each time it become enraged. Picard beams down personally and sends the Away team back to the ship. He confronts Armus, calmly provoking it to anger by offering to transport it away from the planet - and then rescinding the offer. As Armus flies into a terrible rage the dampening field drops sufficiently for the ship to transport both Picard and Deanna up. Picard orders the shuttle destroyed with a photon torpedo so that nobody will be tempted to beam down there again.
As the ship departs the senior officers gather to view a holographic message left by Yar to be viewed in the case of her death. She explains how much being a member of Starfleet meant to her, and gives her thoughts about each of her friends before signing off.
Yar's final message... it treads a very fine line between being moving and overly sentimental. But I think it manages to tread that line successfully... just.

It is not often that I have a chance to meet a local company that is poised to receive a capital infusion from one of Silicon Valley's biggest named investors. But Sept. 14 I did just that. If you're interested in why this company is so interesting, read on.
That was the warm, sunny day that I had lunch at Southboro's Tomasso's restaurant with Doron Kempel, chief executive officer of SimpliVity. Mr. Kempel has an interesting background. Before starting SimpliVity in 2009, Mr. Kempel was the founder and CEO of Diligent Technologies, a so-called enterprise data de-duplication company. Its products reduced the amount of data that companies need to back up every night because it only saves the new information. IBM acquired the company in 2008 for between $165 million and $200 million.
Prior to that, Mr. Kempel was vice president and general manager at EMC and vice president of sales and marketing at Imedia Corp., a digital video distribution company that Terayon Communications Systems bought for an estimated $100 million in 1999.
Mr. Kempel was a major in the Israeli Defense Force and holds law and philosophy degrees from Tel Aviv University and a 1994-vintage MBA from Harvard Business School.
At a recent trade show of virtualization software-maker VMWare, Mr. Kempel told me that the response of potential customers to its product was enthusiastic. Five thousand people visited the SimpliVity booth, and 1,000 requested 10-minute demonstrations of its product, and 450 people — including those representing Hewlett Packard, Cisco Systems and venture capital firms — attended "standing room only" sessions to learn more. And "numerous Fortune 100 companies" asked SimpliVity to schedule an evaluation of its product.
What's behind all this excitement is a product that SimpliVity calls the OmniCube. It's a box that Mr. Kempel argues will replace many different kinds of computer hardware that big and medium-sized companies use to operate their businesses — with the same level of computing performance at a much lower cost.
Mr. Kempel believes that SimpliVity's product is a good investment for companies. More specifically, Mr. Kempel estimates that two of its OmniCube systems could replace the computing infrastructure that companies typically use to store and retrieve data. He says those OmniCube systems would cost companies between 33 percent and 50 percent of the cost to acquire so-called legacy hardware, and once installed would lower companies' operating costs by "two to three times."
SimpliVity has received about $20 million in funding so far. Mr. Kempel, Accel Partners and Charles River Ventures are among those who own stakes. Bruce Sachs of Charles River, a SimpliVity board member, told the venture capital industry magazine VentureBeat, "They've gone to the root of the complexity problem and entirely redesigned the underlying data architecture."
In late 2009, Mr. Kempel left IBM and assembled a team of "industry luminaries and other very smart people" to brainstorm new ideas for a company.
Mr. Kempel concluded that the typical corporate computing architecture had swung too far from the simplicity of the closed systems that companies like IBM used to offer customers "some 20 years ago." In those days, which ended in the 1990s, companies built big computer networks by getting all their hardware and software from one company, and IBM was often the safest choice.
Since then, the IBMs of the world have struggled to force customers to buy all their IT components from one supplier. Now companies build their computing infrastructure with pieces from different vendors. They can purchase mainframe computers from IBM, servers from Dell, printers from Hewlett Packard, routers from Cisco and disk drives from EMC.
Yet, Mr. Kempel believes "the pendulum has swung too far. Over the course of the past decade a slew of additional single-purpose appliances (spread through) the data center," boosting "the complexity, inflexibility and cost of the IT infrastructure stack" to a level that's too taxing for mid-sized organizations.
In response, Mr. Kempel focused SimpliVity on building a product that would combine what many of these devices do into one box that consists of software that SimpliVity wrote itself, coupled with one customized circuit board. SimpliVity makes the rest of the OmniCube from low-cost commodity parts.
Compared to Silicon Valley, Westboro can keep a secret, making it a much better place "to operate in stealth mode for three years. I think that would have been much harder to do if we had been in Silicon Valley," said Mr. Kempel.
And if customers start paying for their version of its product in 2013 as Mr. Kempel anticipates, SimpliVity could enjoy rapid revenue growth, creating economic value for customers.

291 Main Street, Suite 101
Milford, MA 01757
MILFORD – The incoming freshman class said hello to their new stomping grounds Thursday morning at Milford High School's Freshman Orientation.
The new students, fresh out of Middle School East, received their locker and homeroom assignments, class schedules and took tours of the school.
The Class of 2018 then assembled in the auditorium to hear from student leaders on the clubs and sports they could join, ranging anywhere from the cheer squad to mock trial to the Microfinance Club.
"The upperclassmen here are very helpful," Principal Carolyn Banach told the class. "You're going to find the school culture here is the best you can find anywhere."
Afterward, the class gathered in the cafeteria to eat free pizza with their new homeroom classmates – the group of students they'll be starting and ending the day with for the coming year.
"I'm excited to learn new things and meet new people," said Edgar Gonzalez Nunez while waiting in line for his food. "Yeah, I'm looking forward to high school."
Other students expressed interest in the sports programs.
"I'm excited for swimming," said Dan Pacella. "I've been doing it for the past six years, but doing it on the high school team and going to practice will be a lot of fun."
Pacella said he also plans to participate in student leadership and mock trial. He said the transition from Middle School East, which only houses the eighth grade, to a four-grade school, may be tough.
"It'll be different because for the past two years we've either been upperclassmen or in our own school," he said. "It's going to be a lot different with upperclassmen. We might get treated differently."
Nathan Yohn said he's more excited to participate in the various clubs the high school offers and hopes to participate in student leadership and Best Buddies.
"There's going to be more opportunity but also more responsibility," he said. "It's probably going to be a different workload. I'm kind of stressed about that."
But, he said, the prospect of forging new relationships in a new environment trumps the work-related stress.
"I think I'll be able to handle it," he said.

Typically these meta gem requirements are fairly small like "Must have two Blue Gems Equipped" or "Must have one Red and one Yellow Gem Equipped." For example, in WotLK the requirements for the Chaotic Skyflare Diamond was to have two blue gems equipped. It was a little inconvenient because blue was our worst colored gem for most of the expansion, but needing to equip just to wasn't a big pain because it could be done with Purple gems and it was just 2 gems.
We've known for some time that this was going to change in Cataclysm because the Chaotic Shadowspirit Diamond had different requirements, but they recently got worse.
Chaotic Shadowspirit Diamond Activation Requirements:Not only that, but they've gone back and changed the older versions of the Chaotic meta to have the same requirement as the Chaotic Shadowspirit Diamond.
Old: Requires more Blue Gems then Yellow Gems. New: Requires more Blue Gems then Red Gems.
How it works and what this means:
As most of you know the hybrid gem colors green, orange and purple count as multiple gem colors. For example, a single green gem counts as both a blue gem and a yellow gem when it comes to meta requirements and socket bonuses. In WotLK his worked to our advantage, because we could use hybrid gems to meet socket and meta requirements, why still getting some Spellpower/Intellect from our favored gem color red.
If the current meta gem requirements in beta go live, then the hybrid gem colors will actually work against us in most cases and will change the way we gem all socket colors. For every red or orange gem you have socketed you will have to have a blue or green gem socketed plus one additional blue or green gem. Purple gems don't factor into the equation since they count as both a blue and a red gem. Lets take it by socket type and see what the possibilities are (assuming you want to get the socket bonus).
Red & Prismatic Sockets: Ideally we will want to socket Brilliant/Int gems in the red sockets. This shouldn't be hard to achieve since you are likely to have more yellow and blue sockets then red sockets. However, if you have an abundance of red sockets that can't be balanced by your yellow and blue sockets, you may need to put a few purple gems into your red sockets to balance the Meta Gem requirement.
Yellow Sockets: Depending on your needs for hit, yellow sockets should be socketed with either a Quick gem (yellow) or a Lightning gem (green). Orange gems would only be useful if you had very few Red sockets and significantly more blue gems socketed then red gems.
Blue Sockets: Again, depending on your needs for hit, blue sockets should be socketed with either a Sparkling gem (blue) or Lightning gem (green). Purple gems would only be useful in blue sockets if they didn't upset the balance of red to blue gems, as in you have a lot of blue gems socketed but few red gems socketed.
Why this is a Problem:
This change is inconvenient for sure, but my problems with this change go beyond me just disliking it as a player. In my opinion, the new Chaotic meta gem requirement is a clear example of bad design. I know that a lot of players like to call anything they don't like "bad design," but I try not to use those words for anything I simply don't like or disagree with. In this case, I think the new requirement runs counter to several of Blizzards implied stated goals and design philosophies.
- It creates a trap. When it comes to choosing DPS gems a couple of things are fairly clear for caster DPS at least. Red and red hybrid gems are the best because they provide Intellect our primary DPS stat. After you do a little math it's also clear that the Chaotic meta gem is the best meta gem. Yet, the new requirement sets these two basic rules against each other and creates a situation that is counter intuitive and confusing to players. Blizzard has said in the past they don't like to have traps in the talent trees. If that is true, then they shouldn't like meta gems that create a trap as well.
- It works against profession bonuses. In WotLK, Blizzard worked really hard to keep the profession bonuses relatively equal in terms of stats and game play. As a result most of the professions provided around 47 spell power and it didn't matter a lot which crafting professions you had. The problem is that two of the profession bonuses are centered around gems and gem sockets. Jewelcrafting can probably work around it, but it's a big problem for Blacksmithing, since it's profession bonus is two prismatic gem sockets. This means that a blacksmith has to have two additional blue gems as well and may have to down grade another gem just to activate his meta.
- It's a higher requirement then other Meta gems. All of the other meta gems have a simple to understand requirement like "Requires at least 2 yellow gems." I realize that the chaotic meta is very valuable for DPS specs, but the requirement is inconsistent when compared to the other meta gems. Tanks and healers aren't being asked to jump through similar hoops. For the Austere meta, the requirement is two yellow gems. It's not ideal, but not hard comply with either. The Eternal meta gem requires 3 blue gems which a tank will have by default. The healing meta's designed along the same lines, and that makes me wonder why DPS is being singled out for difficult to meat meta requirement.
- It makes gear upgrades complicated and expensive. Under the new requirement, any gear change could upset the balance of your meta gem requirement For example, if you have a pair boots with two gem sockets and replace them with some boots without gem sockets, then you may have to regem an item unrelated to the upgrade to maintain your socket balance.
This change is more then just inconvenient. It changes the way Moonkin and other DPS specs will gem their gear completely. It forces us away from our favored stats and creates a situation where the correct gemming choices are counter intuative.

Puerto Rico Is a Symptom of America's Rotting Democracy
We need to rebuild the island and our government.
We need to relinquish the notion that good government is ours by birthright and realize that democracy must be fought for, every day.
Ferocious hurricanes and other climate-fueled disasters are nature's stress tests. They expose faulty infrastructure and systemic inequalities, to say nothing of incompetent leadership. With payments on its massive debt to Wall Street long prioritized over safe electricity, Puerto Rico's archaic power grid was already prone to blink out in a windstorm. Then Maria hit. Help has been grudging; President Trump took eight days just to waive shipping restrictions.
Social media is full of reminders that "Puerto Rico is America." That's true in more ways than one. More than any other part of neglected and disinvested America, Puerto Rico is a harbinger of the country's future.
Municipal debts have imposed similar austerity regimes around the country, at the expense of our school systems, municipal sewage districts and rural hospitals.
In the middle of a September heat wave, many Detroit public schools closed for lack of air conditioning. Detroit, like Puerto Rico, was ravaged by decades of federal disinvestment. Then financial firms swooped in, after a market crash they caused, to exploit and exacerbate municipal debt. Is it any wonder neither place can stand up to extreme weather?
Other forms of government neglect can seemingly go unnoticed indefinitely, until the next disaster. Through something called "regulatory capture," many government systems created to protect health and safety are full of rot. Corporations infiltrate government agencies with the intention of shaping policies that end up channeling funds into their own coffers, at the expense of public welfare.
Take chemical regulation. Valerie Brown and Elizabeth Grossman report that Monsanto has corrupted the EPA's evaluations of the weed killer glyphosate, trade name Roundup, since 1973. "It's been on the market for 40 years," a Monsanto flack told me heatedly over the phone when asked for comment. "We'd know if there was a problem!" If the company and its army of paid researchers have deemed glyphosate safe, it surely must be so—never mind flaws in the research repeatedly pointed out by EPA scientists. In fact, we don't know how glyphosate—128,000 tons of which are sprayed on U.S. crops each year, and which is present in everything from Doritos to Cheerios—affects humans. Without more independent, peer-reviewed, publicly available studies, we may never know. The EPA, underfunded and highly incentivized to use Monsanto's convenient research briefings, may never insist on finding out.
We need to relinquish the notion that good government is ours by birthright and realize that democracy must be fought for, every day.
As Naomi Klein notes in The Shock Doctrine, natural disasters offer an opportunity to create a society from scratch, to whoever can seize it. After Katrina, neoliberals privatized New Orleans' school system. In depopulated Detroit, progressives are experimenting with mutual aid and non-capitalist economies.
In Houston, a tug-of-war is already underway. Former Shell CEO Marvin Odum has been appointed to lead Hurricane Harvey recovery; at the same time, Ella Baker-inspired volunteers are offering direct aid to the storm-battered and government-neglected northeast Houston, vowing to rebuild the area "better than before."
We must assist in the progressive rebuilding of both Puerto Rico and Texas. We can also apply the same logic to the more insidious weakening of our social structures. As the hurricane-force ego of Donald Trump meets the rot of our governmental institutions, what will it take for us to both resist and rebuild? What institutions do we need as we roll up our sleeves and begin? A truly democratic Democratic Party and insistent grassroots movements, to name two.

Strong ties to local communities not only allow microfinance institutions to build enduring relationships with borrowers, but also to invest in socially-driven community projects. In many cases, the non-financial services an organization provides can be as valuable as the microcredit it offers. Kiva's Lebanon partner, Al Majmoua, is an excellent example of how the resources and commitment of a microfinance institution can positively impact and empower an extremely important segment of the population—young people or "il shabab" in Arabic.
Al Majmoua was originally started by Save the Children. It has since become an autonomous organization, but continues to implement youth initiatives in conjunction with Save the Children. In Lebanon, Al Majmoua oversees the Siraj program, which is a leadership initiative designed for young people in Lebanon, Yemen, Egypt, Jordan, and Palestine.
The most recent Siraj project was a short documentary film created by a group of 25 students from the Lebanese International University (LIU). With the help and guidance of Al Majmoua, the students decided to create a film that illustrates the challenges of Lebanon's poor people. They spent nearly four months to do the necessary research and visit poor people all over Lebanon. The result was a compelling documentary with high quality cinematography and well structured interviews featuring several low-income people in Lebanon. I thought that the mix of Arabic music and excerpts from the "Slumdog Millionaire" soundtrack were fitting for the film. The students were able to articulate the realities and individual challenges of poverty in a dignified way. I resonated strongly with this point as Kiva aims to achieve the same objective.
Although he was busy running around for the event, the student group leader, Ali, managed to share his comments on the film (please see video):'
"The film is very important for us because it is a way to show a real picture of the suffering and poverty in Lebanon for the students and the young people. In Lebanon it's only the politicians and people with power who talk about the suffering of the poor. Through this film we are letting poor people express themselves".
As a result of Al Majmoua's work serving low-income borrowers all over Lebanon, it was able to connect the students to many local contacts and resources for the film. The fact that Dr. Youssef Fawaz, the Executive Director of Al Majmoua, participated in the event as a speaker was extremely telling of the value Al Majmoua places on such initiatives.
Although the film was presented in the middle of a busy work and school day, the student group successfully recruited more than 50 of their peers from LIU to attend the event, as well as the Representative of the Minister of Youth and Sports, the Director of Public Relations of LIU, and an economic development expert from the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA). ESCWA comprises 14 Arab countries in Western Asia: Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Sudan, the Syrian Arab Republic, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
When you invest in Kiva, you invest in local field partners.
Please remember that when you lend to Kiva borrowers, you are also investing in Kiva's local field partners. It is in large part due to the trust and confidence that Kiva partners instill in local communities that they are able to provide much needed financial and non-financial services to low-income borrowers all over the world. And when you take the example of Al Majmoua in Lebanon, it is easy to see how these partners can play a major role in shaping the next generation of leaders. It is a sad reality that we must continue to address poverty in our communities and countries, but there is something uplifting and reassuring when young people are actively engaged in the discussions and the solutions.
One voice and one story at a time, the future is yours to change, "ya shabab".
Nishita Roy is a Kiva Fellow (Class 10) serving in Lebanon. Get involved with Kiva's Lebanon partners, Ameen s.a.l. and Al Majmoua, today! Make an impact by lending to an Al Majmoua entrepreneur today!

Howard K. Smith, who was one of radio and television's most outspoken and familiar voices in a long and often contentious career as an anchorman, news analyst and war correspondent, died Friday evening at his home in Bethesda, Md. He was 87.
He died of pneumonia aggravated by congestive heart failure, his son, Jack Smith, told The Associated Press today.
Slim, silver-haired and handsome, speaking in the soft cadences of his native Louisiana, Howard K. Smith seemed the courtly Southern gentleman. But he was tough and insightful, stubborn and opinionated and frequently clashed with his bosses at CBS and ABC during his four decades in broadcast journalism. He came on the scene when radio news was playing a paramount role in bringing World War II home to Americans, and he made the transition to television with passion and authority. Mr. Smith, in fact, played a role in one of television's defining moments, serving as moderator for the first Presidential debate - Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy in 1960.
Mr. Smith was a member of Edward R. Murrow's famous wartime team of CBS radio correspondents known as ``the Murrow Boys,'' a group that also included Eric Sevareid, Charles Collingwood, Richard Hottelet and Larry LeSueur and that set the standard for broadcast journalism in their time. He covered the Battle of the Bulge in World War II and the Nuremberg war crimes trial. He reported on the cold war and delivered uncompromising commentary on the tumultuous civil rights battles in Little Rock and Birmingham, the Watergate scandal and the war in Vietnam.
He insisted on forceful commentary. ``A dull and cautious editorial or a strong one on a banal issue are of no help to anyone,'' he maintained.
Howard Kingsbury Smith Jr. was born on May 12, 1914, in Ferriday, La., the son of a railroad conductor. He attended Tulane University, dabbling in student socialism and preparing for a career in journalism. He graduated with honors in 1936, studied briefly at Heidelberg University in Germany, where he developed an anti-Nazi zeal, then returned to Louisiana as a reporter for The New Orleans Item-Tribune.
Mr. Smith went to Oxford University in 1937 as a Rhodes Scholar, and two years later became the first American to be chairman of Oxford's Labor Club. Disdainful of Britain's ruling elite and its reluctance to confront the Nazi threat, he led protests against the Conservative Government.
Mr. Smith was hired by the United Press in London in September 1939 as war broke out in Europe. He was sent to Berlin by the news agency the following January, then joined the CBS bureau there in the spring of 1941. In November, Nazi officials, angered at his refusal to air material they had written into his scripts, forbade him to continue making broadcasts. On Dec. 6, 1941 - the day before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor - he left by train for neutral Switzerland. Although the Gestapo had burned all his notes, a month later he had completed a book on his experiences in Germany called ``Last Train From Berlin'' (Knopf, 1942).
For the next two and a half years, Mr. Smith, from his station in Berne, reported on underground movements in German-occupied territory. He later accompanied American airborne troops in the Battle of the Bulge, covered the Allied crossing of the Rhine and witnessed the Germans' surrender to the Russians in Berlin in May 1945. When he re-entered Germany with the Ninth Army he tried to contrast the country he left at the beginning of the war with the nation he found. He told his listeners: ``On the roadside lie skeletons of streamlined gray Wehrmacht cars which careened to conquest over every highway in Europe. Now they lie, belly to the sky, burned out and red with rust from the autumn rain. The whole desolate scene is one of crushed power.''
Mr. Smith replaced Edward R. Murrow as the London-based chief European correspondent for CBS in 1946 and remained overseas for the next 11 years. He won the Overseas Press Club award for foreign reporting and commentary four times in the 1950's. His star at CBS was on the rise and many network executives thought he would inherit the mantle of Ed Murrow. Returning to the United States, he was chosen to do the commentaries on Douglas Edwards's television program and his role as the moderator of the first presidential debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon earned him praise. He was the anchorman on several
CBS Reports,'' receiving a George Polk Award and an Emmy for his writing and narration of a documentaryThe Population Explosion'' in 1960. He was named chief correspondent and general manager of the Washington bureau in 1961.
He also found time to contribute regularly to The Nation and write
The State of Europe,''(Knopf, 1949) in which he voiced approval of the welfare state. His positions landed him in the McCarthy-era bookletRed Channels,'' which listed 151 prominent people in the news media and broadcasting whom its authors regarded as left wingers. Among others listed were Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland and Orson Welles, figures whom Mr. Smith later wrote ``one would be proud to be associated with.''
Despite his success, Mr. Smith chafed over restrictions by CBS executives who felt that his vigorous editorial views had at times overstepped network boundaries. He believed that television newsmen had an obligation to ``take sides on public issues.'' The conflict escalated over Mr. Smith's reporting and analyses of the civil-rights struggle. Mr. Smith had been a strong opponent of segregation since his childhood in Louisiana exposed him to the injustices of Jim Crow laws.
When Edward R. Murrow was leaving CBS he asked Mr. Smith to take over a documentary for
CBS Reports'' calledWho Speaks for Birmingham?'' The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had called Birmingham ``the most segregated city in the United States,'' and Bull Connor, its segregationist police commissioner, had a notorious reputation. In May 1961, while Mr. Smith and other reporters watched, members of the Ku Klux Klan viciously beat a small band of Freedom Riders arriving to test new federal laws banning segregation in interstate travel. Only after the attack did Birmingham policemen arrive from their station only a few blocks away.
Mr. Smith was outraged, and his eyewitness account was broadcast by CBS Radio and carried the next day by The New York Times. He used his Sunday radio commentary to warn that unless the United States moved to provide justice for black Americans it was in danger ``of becoming a racial dictatorship, like Nazi Germany, or reverting to barbarism, as has happened...in Alabama.''
Mr. Smith wanted to end his Birmingham documentary by quoting the 18th- century British statesman Edmund Burke:
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.'' But Richard Salant, the president of CBS News, refused to let him quote Burke or do any moreeditorializing.'' According to Stanley Cloud and Lynne Olson, the authors of
The Murrow Boys'' (Houghton Mifflin, 1996), Mr. Smith and his boss had a bitter argument.We won't allow you to adopt causes,'' Mr. Salant said. Mr. Smith said there was right and there was wrong, and right was not ``an equidistant point between good and evil.''
Mr. Smith tried to make his case at a luncheon with William S. Paley, the board chairman of CBS.
It wasn't a reasoned discussion of balance and fairness,'' Mr. Salant's deputy, Blair Clark, who was present, told Sally Bedell Smith in her bookIn All His Glory,'' a biography of Mr. Paley published by Simon & Schuster in 1990.
Mr. Clark was quoted in
The Murrow Boys'' as saying that Mr. Smithwas absolutely rigid on his right to do commentary. He said in effect `Murrow could do it, why can't I?' He just bore down on it and Paley got angrier and angrier...'''
In his memoirs,
Events Leading Up to My Death,'' (St. Martin's Press, 1996) Mr. Smith wrote thatPaley reached into an inside pocket and drew out my brief. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at me. Then he threw the document across the table to me.
I have heard all this junk before,'he said.If that is what you believe, you had better go somewhere else.'''
Mr. Smith's 20-year career at CBS was over.
He joined ABC and launched a weekly program,
Howard K. Smith - News and Comment,'' in 1962\. The program was popular with critics and viewers, but he found himself in trouble again overThe Political Obituary of Richard M. Nixon,'' a segment Mr. Smith did on Mr. Nixon's career prompted by his defeat in the California gubernatorial election. Mr. Smith featured interviews with several people from Mr. Nixon's past, including Alger Hiss, the former State Department official convicted of perjury in a case that brought Mr. Nixon to national prominence. Mr. Hiss's appearance ignited a firestorm of protest. ABC stood by Mr. Smith, but his weekly program was canceled in 1963 after it failed to retain its sponsor.
His career languished until 1969 when Av Westin, a former CBS colleague and admirer, became the executive producer of the ABC evening news program. Mr. Smith was named co-anchor with Frank Reynolds; later, Mr. Reynolds was succeeded as co-anchor by Harry Reasoner. The Reasoner-Smith team remained together until 1975.
While expressing a liberal outlook on many domestic matters, Mr. Smith surprised his supporters by calling for all-out American military escalation to end the war in Vietnam, the invasion of Laos and Cambodia and the imposition of an income-tax surcharge to finance the war. His son, Jack, was seriously wounded while fighting with the Seventh Cavalry in the battle of the Ia Drang Valley in 1965, and a year later, Mr. Smith interviewed him in Vietnam for a program titled ``A Father, a Son and War.'' Mr. Smith said his hawkish stance on the war stemmed not from personal considerations, but the failure of the democracies to confront Hitler during the late 1930's.
Mr. Smith remained with ABC until April 1979, when he resigned over the curtailment of his commentary. He lectured widely after that and wrote his autobiography, in which he reflected on the political history of the preceding half-century.
In addition to his son, he is survived by his wife of 59 years, Benedicte Traberg Smith, a Danish journalist, and a daughter, Catherine.
