Non-Monogamy: Is Love Still Sacred in Polyamory?
Oh Jeez, Are You Talking About Polygamy?
No, not at all.
Polygamy is having more than one spouse at a time. That's the simple definition. This term is about marriage.
Polyamory is having more than one intimate partner at a time. It is having more than one girlfriend or boyfriend, much the same way people have a singular dating or sexual partner at a time.
More Than One Girlfriend? Really?
You mean, being polyamory is collecting girlfriends and/or boyfriends? Isn't that cheating or something equally as vulgar like having a harem?
Now, where did that come from? The polyamory community, in general, has a strong stand in respect and communication. Now, if they were into BDSM and all partners were consenting, perhaps a harem can be formed. Perhaps, that's not as bad an idea as you think.
However, polyamorous people are set to respect all the partners involved. They are the most familiar with these terms: Respect, communication, comfort zone, and rules. Yes, rules. Franklin Veaux has explained this so much better than I ever could.
As simplistic as it has been put before, cheating means you are breaking the rules. When there are partners involved, they usually establish rules that includes awareness of STDs and dealing with jealousy. Now, supposing you are poly and you break these rules by going behind somebody's back, you have more than one partner who will be angry with you simultaneously! That ought to discourage notions of cheating at all .
So, Where Does That Leave Love?
It sounds like polyamorous people just want to have their cake and eat it, too. Sex, sex, and more sex. Where does that leave love?
Here is the theory that has been put into practice. It might blow your mind. Are you ready for it? You polyamorous folks reading this -- don't ruin the surprise! Now, shh. Wait for it, wait for it...
Love is infinite.
Love is timeless.
Indeed, that is what polyamory is really all about, in the larger, general picture of things. When people mention having more than one partners, the first questions asked are about sex before love is uttered. In polyamory, love trumps sex everytime. Sex is a lovely bonus, but it is not what having more than one partner is all about. That's swinging. That's a very distinct difference.
The idea is this: Love has no boundaries. It is possible to have more than one soulmates in a lifetime. And for those who do not believe in soulmates, they believe in love and that it is possible to be in love with more than one.
But In Monogamy, Love is Sacred!
It is sacred between two people because that's all they need is each other. How can love be sacred if there are more than two people involved?
Love is sacred, period. Love brings out the best and the worst in people. Love is loving that person or this person despite their flaws, because we know we have our own flaws. And love comes in so many forms, spectrums, and color that the human mind's attempt to categorize and simplify often falls short of it.
Love, sometimes, is an entity all its own. We brand it for our own without really seeing its full glory. So, why limit that to monogamy? Monogamous people often do not see the sacredness in love until later. Monogamous people, often, do not date initially for love but for companionship and intimacy which evolves into love later.
So, what is wrong with the polyamorous recognizing love in their own ways and still seeing in it a sacred light? In polyamory, it is seen and practiced that love is multiplied with the addition of partners. We believe and hang onto the notion of scarcity without realizing love doesn't run empty. Our body's capacity to hold energy can run empty, but it almost always refill after a rest, does it not?
Love, on the other hand, is not simply our energy. It is so much more. While we limit our days with time and restrictions, which works to function in the way our society is built today, love is limitless on its own.
What should be more sacred is how you treat your partner, how you treat your loved ones, and how you take care of yourself. Love will take care of itself.
As SognoPiccolo so eloquently put it: "Love will bow to no one, for love is too great a feeling to be completely contained by another."
Editor's Note
This article was written by a monogamous woman who is engaged to marry a monogamous man. My experience with polyamory was brief but a complete learning experience. I learned many more things from the polyamory community than actually being polyamorous.
Monogamy or polyamory failure or success has no bearing on my concept of love. I am the most comfortable with just one man and that is our choice alone. I hope you enjoyed this article as much as I enjoyed writing it.
And don't just take my word for it, either. There are many other resources to look at, should you need more.

Love is not the same thing as money. With money, you have only a limited amount to spend, and when you give it to one person you have less left to give to another. But love behaves in wonderful and unpredictable and counterintuitive ways.
I have often wondered if it as possible to love and deeply care for more than one person in a controlled open relationship. I know I could handle it just didn't know that polyamory existed. I am now meeting the right people to break me in and show me the ropes. Really excited.
being Poly and lived the Monogamy life also, I have to say you hit the nail on the head when describing the lifestyle, and yet it was so beautiful of words as well. not as i had expect to be honest. very well written and i gave it vote up and very useful as well.
Very well, done and useful I have linked this article to a hub I wrote on Robert A. Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land", which contains a sub-theme of plyamory, and your article explains it a whole lot better than I would have.
I've enjoyed the little commentary up there.
I'm not one for getting sentimental, but it seems pretty plain and simple to me that if you've ever loved more than one person in your life, there's no reason that it couldn't happen simultaneously. Plenty of people have been in love half a dozen times, and if they all came along at the same point in your life, it's silly to say only one of them would be lovable. If everyone's happy, that's all that matters.
He He, SognoPiccolo-You're absolutely right-HubOrgy it is! Perfect!
Sunny-You are special, my friend!
You have a beautiful mind.
Your open mind and wisdom far exceeding your years are part of your appeal.
Of course being young, beautiful and having a nice set of hooters doesn't hurt either. LOL
you like-a-da spam... muahaha...
@lorlie6 ... lol... its a HubOrgy lol...
See Sunny? We are all displaying polyamorious (?) commenting skills on this hub! Almost like an orgy, huh? ;)
Just teasing you, Sunny. This is really fascinating-I've never heard of it before.
Christoph gave me a link to this hub on his crazy cat hub where we are now fighting over you. The HubFlirt comment got us going yet again.
But that sort of fighting is not in the spirit of this piece, I enjoyed the read!
I love reading your stuffs... because I *HEART* you!
Aww.. I thought I was your favorite commenter? lol... this was very beautifully written my dear.
Well, what do you know? I was practicing polyamory the whole time! Not really - I was never in that type of relationship, but I found this most interesting and positive. You really brought an enlightened view to the subject, particularly as someone who does not practice it herself. Outstanding!

Rove and some Democrats find common ground
It is not surprising that Karl Rove, in the interview he gave to the Wall Street Journal's Paul Gigot signaling that he would announce his resignation today from the White House, would describe Hillary Rodham Clinton as a "tough, tenacious but fatally flawed" presidential candidate. One would expect the Republican Party's most famous political guru to press that case.
What has much of the political world abuzz is that apparently quite a few Democrats agree.
Based on more than 40 interviews, Ron Fournier of the Associated Press reports that "Democratic candidates, consultants and party chairs from every region in the country" are concerned that a presidential ticket headed by Clinton could hurt the candidates listed beneath her. You can read the piece here.
Reflecting on the story, MSNBC's First Read, in an item headlined "Hillary's a Drag?," notes that "the Clintons' own successes haven't always translated into successes for the Democratic Party." It recalls that while Bill Clinton was winning the White House in 1992 and winning it again in 1996, Democrats lost Senate seats. And there was that little problem in the 1994 mid-term vote, when Democrats lost control of both chambers of Congress for the first time in 40 years.
Calming the anxiety within Democratic ranks that nominating her for president in 2008 could undercut what otherwise would be a strong year for the party may be the major challenge facing Clinton. Meanwhile, her campaign chugs along, unveiling its first television ad. Slated to air in Iowa (coordinated with several stops she plans to make in the state Tuesday and Wednesday), you can see it here.

Youth Justice Conferencing is an alternative to having a matter dealt with by a court order in Queensland (Qld). For a young person to be referred to a conference, they must admit to or be found guilty of the offence. There is no limit to the types of offence that can be referred to a youth justice conference.
A youth justice conference is a meeting facilitated by a convenor. A conference brings the young person and their family together with the victim (if they wish to attend) as well as a police officer. The aim of a youth justice conference is for the victim, the young person and their family to come up with an agreement about how the young person can begin to repair the harm caused by the offence.
When a young person admits to an offence the police may make a conference referral instead of sending the matter to court. In some cases, a court will request that a youth justice conference takes place. A conference convenor helps everyone talk through what happened and how everyone has been affected.
The purpose of the conference is to:

Another Inconvenient Truth
The organizers of the Academy Awards declare all their celebrity presenters to be "carbon-neutral." Vail Resorts Inc. (MTN ) in Colorado boasts that its chairlifts and lodges are "100% powered by wind." Seattle's municipal utility claims that its net contribution to global warming is zero.
A growing number of organizations, corporations, cities, and individuals are seeking to protect the climate—or at least claim bragging rights for protecting the climate. Rather than take the arduous step of significantly cutting their own emissions of carbon dioxide, many in the ranks of the environmentally concerned are paying to have someone else curtail air pollution or develop "renewable" energy sources (see BusinessWeek.com, 2/1/07, "Ethanol: Too Much Hype—and Corn "). Carbon offsets, as the most common variety of these deals is known, have become one of the most widely promoted products marketed to checkbook environmentalists.
Done carefully, offsets can have a positive effect and raise ecological awareness. But a close look at several transactions—including those involving the Oscar presenters, Vail Resorts, and the Seattle power company—reveals that some deals amount to little more than feel-good hype. When traced to their source, these dubious offsets often encourage climate protection that would have happened regardless of the buying and selling of paper certificates. One danger of largely symbolic deals is that they may divert attention and resources from more expensive and effective measures.
The market for carbon offsets in the U.S. could be as high as $100 million, according to researchers' best guesses. That's up from next to nothing just a couple of years ago. One reason for this growth is that the U.S. remains one of the few industrialized countries that hasn't ratified the Kyoto Protocol, a global agreement setting emission limits by nation. In the absence of a mandatory national cap, some Americans have begun taking action on their own, but without widely recognized standards as to what constitutes a valid offset. As long as there are willing buyers and sellers, almost anything goes. "Right now it's a no-man's land out there," says Jennifer Martin of the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions in San Francisco.
Hollywood celebrated environmental activism at this year's Academy Awards, and not just by giving an Oscar to the Al Gore documentary An Inconvenient Truth. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences promoted the show itself having "gone green," by means of a variety of initiatives. One element: Each performer and presenter received a glass statue representing the elimination of the amount of greenhouse gas associated with a celebrity lifestyle over the course of a year. The offsets were issued by TerraPass Inc., a two-year-old for-profit company in San Francisco that identifies climate-protection efforts and, for a fee, gives its customers the opportunity to buy a piece of the environmental action. Each Oscar favor represented 100,000 pounds of emission reductions drawn from TerraPass' portfolio of offset projects.
One of the largest in its portfolio is a sprawling garbage dump outside of Springdale, Ark., from which TerraPass has purchased thousands of tons of gas reductions. The vast sloping mound of the Tontitown landfill rises near stands of bare-limbed hickory and oak trees, with the blue Ozark foothills in the background. The decomposing trash generates methane, a gas 23 times as potent as carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the earth's atmosphere, melting glaciers and raising ocean levels. Waste Management Inc., (WMI ) the huge garbage processor that operates the facility, tends nearly 90 wells dotting the trash mountain, each giving off a barely audible hiss as it sucks methane from the depths of the landfill and delivers the gas to a single towering flare. Once torched, the gas is released into the atmosphere as less-damaging co2. But company officials and Arkansas environmental regulators say Waste Management began to burn methane, and continues to do so, for reasons having nothing to do with TerraPass' offsets.
Concerned that methane might be contaminating groundwater beneath the landfill, Waste Management first floated the idea for a gas-collection system in early 1999. Arkansas regulators urged the company to pursue this remedy. In 2001 the state increased its pressure by imposing a requirement for "corrective action" at the Tontitown facility. Waste Management promised to make the methane flare operational by late 2001. After probes subsequently detected methane levels exceeding allowable levels, Dennis John Burks, then chief of the Solid Waste Management Div. of the Arkansas Environmental Quality Dept., wrote to Waste Management on June 27, 2001, saying that the state "strongly urges WM to bring the newly installed Tontitown Landfill gas extraction system online as soon as possible."
Asked about Waste Management's response, Gerald Delavan, a supervisor at the Arkansas environmental agency, says: "It started out as a voluntary effort" by the company. "But it ended up being guided by corrective action,'" imposed by the state. Wes Muir, a Waste Management spokesman, says: "We felt a gas collection system was the most effective way to deal with this.... It was a voluntary process."
Regardless of who deserves credit for taking the initiative, one thing is clear: The methane system was launched long before any promise of carbon-offset sales. In other words, it appears that the main effects of the TerraPass offsets in this instance are to salve guilty celebrity consciences and provide Waste Management, a $13 billion company based in Houston, with some extra revenue.
All six other project developers selling offsets to TerraPass that BusinessWeek was able to contact said they were pleased with the extra cash. But five of the six said the offsets hadn't played a significant role in their decision to cut emissions. "It's just icing on the cake," says Barry Edwards, director of utilities and engineering at Catawba County, N.C., which installed a system in 1998 to turn landfill gas into electricity to power 944 homes. "We would have done this project anyway."
A big player in the growing industry of brokers and retailers marketing offsets, TerraPass was the brainchild of Karl Ulrich, a professor at the Wharton School. Ulrich, an environmentalist who bikes to work, became concerned several years ago about the carbon dioxide emitted when he drove to his cabin in Vermont. In the fall of 2004 he gave one of his classes $5,000 and challenged students to create an affordable carbon-offset program.
TerraPass, with a number of Wharton graduates as shareholders, has soared since then. The company now claims 42,500 customers. Tom Arnold, the 30-year-old former Ulrich student who runs the business, says TerraPass has already had a major impact by offsetting more than 117,000 tons of greenhouse gases. Ford Motor Co. (F ) and the travel Web site Expedia.com (EXPE ) collaborate with the offset-retailer to offer customers the option of neutralizing travel-related emissions for an added cost.
Arnold concedes that TerraPass hadn't known until approached by BusinessWeek that concerns about groundwater contamination had led to the Tontitown methane project. TerraPass, he says, will now rethink how it evaluates such landfill gas-reduction efforts. But Arnold stands behind the legitimacy of offsets related to the Tontitown dump. He emphasizes that Waste Management acted voluntarily, and he praises an $800,000 upgrade to the methane system last year: "That's behavior consistent with somebody trying to enhance methane capture." He also warns against getting too bogged down in the intricacies of how particular offset projects were conceived. "Let's get the market working well," he says. "That will do a lot of greater good."
As the offset market now works, intermediaries typically pocket a big portion of the money coming in. Consider two projects in the TerraPass portfolio that are run by dairy farmers in Princeton, Minn., and Lynden, Wash. Several years ago, the farmers had installed expensive equipment that uses methane from cow manure to generate electricity. In theory, the promise of offset income encourages farmers to invest in such equipment. TerraPass typically sells offsets for about $9 per ton of carbon dioxide, or the corresponding amount of methane. The company takes a cut of that $9, but won't say what the percentage is. A broker that introduced TerraPass to the dairy farmers also took a cut. In the end, the farmers say they each received less than $2 a ton out of the original $9. Darryl Vander Haak, the farmer in Washington, says he's happy with the $16,000 he earned last year from offset sales. But offsets didn't factor into his decision to start the methane venture, he adds.
TerraPass' Arnold nevertheless maintains that "the [offset] prices out in the market now are changing behavior." The fees intermediaries collect cover costs such as auditing projects and marketing to buyers. "It's much like Starbucks (SBUX )," Arnold says. "What do you think Starbucks pays for a pound of coffee, and how does that translate into a $3.50 latte?"
Seattle, the home of Starbucks, made an astounding announcement in 2005: Its municipal utility, Seattle City Light, had eliminated its contribution to global warming. The power company still annually spewed some 200,000 tons of greenhouse gases. But Seattle said it had negated every last ton by paying other organizations around the country to curtail their emissions. "We can power our city without toasting our planet," Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels declared.
But as in the case of the Oscar presenters, the bulk of the pollution reductions for which Seattle paid would have happened regardless of its offset deal. The city's experience illustrates the difference between more expensive methods of cutting greenhouse gases close to home, vs. more far-flung deals with third parties.
In 2000 the Seattle City Council imposed the long-term goal of Seattle City Light becoming carbon-neutral. At first the utility pursued local projects, such as one in 2003 with Seattle's municipal trucking department. The strategy was to convert 900 diesel vehicles to a more climate-friendly blend of fuel containing 20% biodiesel. The blend was expected to cost an additional 25 cents a gallon, so Seattle City Light agreed to chip in half of the difference. In exchange, the utility has taken credit for the relatively modest 700 to 1,400 tons of annual greenhouse-gas reduction the cleaner fuel allowed. This arrangement, which improved air quality in Seattle, wouldn't have occurred without the financial incentive provided by Seattle City Light.
"Our approach initially was very strict," says Corinne Grande, a strategic adviser to the utility. "The project would only happen if the check came in the mail from us." But Seattle sought to offset hundreds of thousands of tons of gas a year. "We wanted offsets quickly, not offsets coming 10 or 20 years in the future," Grande says.
City officials culled dozens of offers from various middlemen. Several factors drew attention to a DuPont (DD )project reducing emissions at a Louisville (Ky.) plant that manufactures the refrigerant Freon, Grande recalls. DuPont enjoyed a strong reputation for reducing greenhouse gases, and the Louisville plant provided the chance to buy in bulk. Seattle City Light purchased its largest block of offsets in 2005 from DuPont, for nearly $600,000. The 300,000 tons of co2 reductions were enough for Seattle to claim "net zero" emissions for its utility, with plenty left over for 2006. The price, at only $1.95 per ton, was tiny compared with that of the biodiesel venture, which ran as high as $220.
DuPont deserved to be rewarded for its climate efforts, says Grande, the adviser to Seattle City Light. The chemical company "took a chance on doing more than they needed to do," she adds. "We'd like to encourage the continued destruction of greenhouse gases."
But Seattle's offset purchase didn't prompt the cleanup of the once-dirty Louisville plant. DuPont had begun researching improvements all the way back in 1995 and installed a more environmentally friendly system in 2000, five years before Seattle began paying DuPont. "We would have continued with these emissions reductions anyway," says Stephanie Jacobson, a DuPont spokeswoman.
In a legal twist, Washington's state Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that the Seattle utility lacks authority to use ratepayer money to fight global warming. The state legislature could counteract that decision, but meanwhile the future of Seattle's offset program is uncertain.
The growing green marketplace offers an alternative to carbon offsets known as renewable energy certificates, or RECs. When RECs work properly, producers of wind-generated power and other "renewable" energy sell the certificates as a way of promoting the creation of additional renewable energy sources.
One RECs buyer is Vail Resorts, which runs ski and vacation destinations in the West. Vail Resorts declares in marketing material that it is now "100% powered by wind." But this claim isn't literally correct. Vail Resorts contemplated building expensive mountaintop wind turbines to power its ski lifts and other operations. But instead it decided last year to enter a multiyear agreement to buy, for a fraction of the cost, RECs representing 152,000 megawatt hours of wind-generated electricity each year, equivalent to its annual use. "We're in the travel business," says Rob Katz, chief executive of Vail Resorts. "We're not in the electricity-generation business." He adds that even if his business obtains its power from a standard utility, which in the Rocky Mountains means relying mostly on coal, "we're helping to push forward development of new wind projects."
Which new wind projects? Katz says he relies on a broker to select appropriate recipients. His broker, Renewable Choice Energy of Boulder, Colo., declines to identify any of the investments it makes on behalf of Vail Resorts or its scores of other clients. Neither party will discuss the price of the RECs. What Renewable Choice will say is that the RECs it buys and sells are confirmed by the Center for Resource Solutions, the San Francisco nonprofit, as representing power not counting toward any government mandate and coming from projects built since 1997. RECs related to more recently built projects are thought more likely to spark development of new projects.
Still, this kind of secretiveness provokes skepticism. "If neither a seller of RECs nor the buyer will provide any details of how, exactly, their transaction is reducing carbon emissions, I would suspect it's vaporware," says Randy Udall, director of the Community Office for Resource Efficiency, an Aspen (Colo.) nonprofit that promotes renewable energy.
Some developers go further, scoffing at the basic economics of RECs, most of which sell for $1 to $3 per megawatt hour—a small fraction of what wind projects can attract in federal tax incentives. Voluntary REC purchases "are pure corporate marketing and image management" for buyers, says Mike O'Sullivan, senior vice-president for development at Juno Beach (Fla.)-based fpl Energy (FPL ), the nation's largest developer of wind power. "The economics of our wind investments have to work without the green credits."
More broadly, the proliferation of suspect RECs and offsets may persuade consumers and businesses that preventing climate change comes cheap, says Anja S. Kollmuss, outreach coordinator of the Tufts Climate Initiative, an advocacy group affiliated with Tufts University. "We cannot solve the climate crisis by buying offsets and claiming to be climate-neutral," she adds. "Nature does not fall for accounting schemes."

A Santa Rosa man with 13 driver's license suspensions was arrested early this morning for DUI and hit-and-run after a vehicle crash south of Santa Rosa. California Highway Patrol Officer Jon Sloat said 24-year-old Steven Medeiros crashed a Dodge pickup into a fence, fire hydrant and power pole on Anteeo Way west of Mooreland Avenue in unincorporated Sonoma County around 1:30 a.m.
Medeiros gave various explanations for the crash, stating both his brother and then a gang member was driving the car and fled the scene after the crash, Sloat said. Medeiros was unable to perform field sobriety tests, and he was booked into the Sonoma County jail for DUI and hit-and-run, Sloat said. Medeiros, who is on probation, has two prior DUI convictions and 13 prior license suspensions, Sloat said.

Harriet Johnson has successfully defended a 21-year-old man charged with causing grievous bodily harm. Charges were brought after the defendant's former girlfriend suffered a life-endangering knife wound to her wrist during an altercation with the defendant. Harriet argued that the jury could not be sure that the injury was not caused accidentally.
The jury at Oxford Crown Court took just over two hours to unanimously find the defendant not guilty. Harriet was instructed by Alice Dodd of Macnab Clarke.

Chrysler Group LLC is recalling nearly 840,000 vehicles due to a series of safety-related issued, putting new stress on the Detroit maker's efforts to rebuild its reputation for quality, reliability and durability.
The problems cover a wide range of issues, including faulty head restraints, airbag software glitches and electronic stability control systems. The quintet of recalls comes just weeks after the maker reluctantly agreed to call back 1.2 million Jeeps due to potential fire hazards.
Though the Jeep recall was significantly smaller than federal safety regulators originally sought it nonetheless means that Chrysler has so far had more individual vehicles sold in the U.S. covered by recall orders than any other maker.

5 Years : From Mar 2013 to Mar 2018
Local and State dignitaries and various stakeholders celebrated the
groundbreaking of The Heights at Darien today in Darien, Connecticut.
The 106 units of newly constructed public and affordable housing will
replace 40 existing units at the former site of Allen O'Neill Homes. The
new community will include 23 new townhomes and a community center.
Completion is expected in 2014.
"This project marks another critically important step forward in keeping
Connecticut diverse and vibrant as a community," Senator Richard
Blumenthal said. "Connecticut thanks Darien – as well as the developers
and state agencies – for their faith and fortitude in pursuing this
promising project and overcoming many challenges. As a state senator I
came to know well the residents of Allen-O'Neill homes, admiring them
for the longstanding dedication and commitment to Darien, and I am
delighted to see this tradition along with the physical structure
renewed and reinvigorated."
"Every family needs a safe, decent, affordable place to call home, and
this project will help make sure that home is available to more than 100
additional families here in Darien," Rep. Jim Himes said. "Thank you to
everyone who made this project a reality – this is a perfect example of
the role public-private partnerships can play in improving our
The project is being carried out through a unique partnership between
private developers John McClutchy and Arthur Anderson, each of whom has
a long track record in developing and managing low-income tax credit
housing, and the Darien Housing Authority, the owner of the site. The
developers will incorporate sustainable features throughout the
development with a target of a Silver LEED certification. A community
center will be added to the site and each unit will include a washer and
dryer and new Energy Star appliances.
"Working in partnership with the Housing Authority of the Town of Darien
to bring life back into its obsolete, sixty year-old Allen-O'Neill
housing development has been a rewarding experience that will result in
the creation of modern, residential living units that will reflect the
lifestyle, architecture and character of the Town of Darien while
providing a quality, affordable living environment for 106 families,"
said John McClutchy, of the JHM Group of Companies. "The Heights at
Darien is a prime example of what can be accomplished when we combine
creative solutions with the willingness to collaborate."
Construction and permanent financing, as well as low income housing tax
credit equity, was provided by Citi Community Capital, Citi's community
development lending and investing group. Additional sources of funding
were provided by the Darien Housing Authority, the Connecticut
Department of Economic and Community Development and the Town of Darien.
"Citi is pleased to be a part of this important project for the Town of
Darien, which will provide a high quality option for 106 Darien
households," said Bill Mills, Citi, North America CEO. "We are committed
to this project, start to finish, and are proud to deploy responsible
capital to worthwhile undertakings like this."
Jason Wilber, Vice President of The Richman Group Affordable Housing
Corporation, which provided a $26,187,691 equity investment in
partnership with Citi, said, "Richman is proud to be part of the team
that will rebuild Allen O'Neill Homes as The Heights at Darien." Mr.
Wilber continued, "The project is an exemplary example of a
transit-oriented in-fill development. The site is within walking
distance to the Metro-North commuter rail and the design will double the
number of housing units while preserving green space and the area's
suburban feel."

Around the Farm: September 3--The pantry is bountiful edition
|Jared Goedert
(photo: Columbus
The Indians had one of those rare nights in which their minor league system won each and every one of their games. While the list below isn't every great performance, it does go a long way in showing us all why this system is so deep:
Jared Goedert: 3B, Columbus: 3-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 K:
Goedert is one of the hotter players in the system right now. Over his last seven games, the Clippers' third sacker is 12-for-28 (.429), with seven runs, three doubles, three homers and an incredible 13 RBI. As Tony and I mentioned earlier this week, Goedert is placing himself firmly back into the Indians' plans with his hot play. Goedert's now hitting .275 on the season, with 46 runs, 19 doubles, 18 homers and 48 RBI. All the sudden, his numbers start looking more and more comparable to his breakout 2010 season, in which he played 40 more games because of injuries this year. It's fairly clear that Goedert's major issue in 2011 was recovery. Now that he's healthy, he's regained his luster, and could really be an interesting watch heading into 2012.
Beau Mills: DH, Columbus: 2-3, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K:
Every time I want to write off the former Indians' first round pick, he comes back with a vengeance. Mills went through a big slump in mid-August, but since August 29th, has been a house of fire. In his last five games, the 1B/DH has gone 10-for-20, with three runs, a double two homers and two RBI. With LaPorta's demotion and Mills' hot bat, things could get interesting should the Indians really be trying to send LaPorta a message. Could there be a competition next season between LaPorta and Mills? If Mills hit lefties better, I'd say yes. This year, however, Mills has only managed to hit .171 against left-handers, which isn't any better than LaPorta. Still, the fact that it's even a thought is a testament to Mills' resurgence in 2011.
Kelvin De La Cruz: RP, Akron: S (2), 2 1/3 IP, 1 BB, 4 K:
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to DLC. He's a tall, lanky left-handed reliever,and he's one of the best bullpen arms in the system. Okay, it's early, I know, but just look at the numbers in this six game window. He's gone seven total innings, including back-to-back 2+ appearances. He's given up two hits and walked four batters, while striking out 11. He hasn't given up a run, and he's saved two games. I know that people will be shrieking to put the kid back in the rotation, but I'm not one of them. While I'm a huge Cory Burns' fan, and a huge Preston Guilmet fan, neither could touch this kid at the back end of a bullpen if he's reallyharnessed his stuff. Again, it's only a short sample, but boy has it been a good sample.
- Luis Valbuena: SS, Columbus: 2-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K: Valbuena continues to scorch the ball in Triple A ball, rolling out two more extra base hits on the season. His ten-game line is .366/.413/.488, and he's gone 5-for-9, with two runs, a double and a homer in his last two games. He's heating up at the right time, with the Clippers heading into the International League playoffs.
- Grady Sizemore: CF, Columbus: 1-5, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K: Sizemore returned to Columbus after Akron left town, and got another hit in a full-game stint in center. I'm not sure what the plans are for Sizemore, but it's likely he won't be around for the Clippers playoff run.
- Matt LaPorta: 1B, Columbus: 2-5, 1 R, 1 RBI: LaPorta clearly either likes it in Columbus, or just the opposite, as he's hitting the cover off the ball since being demoted at the end of August. He has two hits in each of his two games, and is 4-for-9 overall, with two runs, a homer and three RBI. three of his four hits, a run, the homer and all his RBI have come off of left-handed pitching. It will be interesting to see what the Indians do with LaPorta going forward. Were they trying to send a quick message to their first baseman, or is this something deeper with his fundamentals?
- Argenis Reyes: 2B, Columbus: 2-4, 1 R, 1 BB: I'm not sure that Reyes could be playing any better than he is right now. Batting out of the nine-hole, the middle infielder is hitting the ball a ton, going 6-for-10 in his last three games, with four runs, three doubles, two RBI and three walks, without a strikeout. He's absolutely shredding righties, hitting a hefty .372 since joining Columbus.
- Mitch Talbot: SP, Columbus: W (4-2), 5 IP, 9 H, 3 R/ER, 1 BB, 9 K: Alright, if you've made it this far, I'd like you to back up and read the strikeout total again. Blink really hard, then look again. Yeah, that's what I just did too. Apparently in the international league, Talbot is a strikeout machine. In his last four starts, he's had strikeout totals of 6, 8, 6 and 9, and has gone 3-1 in the process.
- Jordan Henry: CF, Akron: 2-4, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K, SB (33): Henry's clearly regained his 2010 mojo with another two-hit performance. It's his fourth such performance in his past seven games. During that stretch, he's hitting 10-for-29, with eight runs, two RBI, two walks and five K's.
- Juan Diaz: SS, Akron: 2-4, 2 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB: Diaz hit his ninth homer last night, passing his previous best of eight from last season. This is the kind of stat line the Indians envisioned when they acquired the tall shortstop. The 6'4", 200 lb 22-year-old has never been a power hitter, but his size leads me to believe that there's still plenty left on the table. Games like this showcase just how good he really can be.
- Chun Chen: DH, Akron: 2-5, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K: Chen hit in his seventh straight game last night, and now has back-to-back two-hit affairs as well. During the past two, Chen is 4-for-9, with a run, two doubles and four RBI.
- Michel Hernandez: C, Akron: 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 BB: Hernandez was another one of the Indians' organizational specials. They picked him up in late June to help supplement injury issues, and he's tattooed the ball ever since. He's tapered off a bit, but is still hitting .326 overall in Akron, and is 38-118 (.322) since coming to the Indians' system.
- Donnie Webb: RF, Akron: 2-4, 2 R, 1 3B, 1 K: Webb can't be happy that the season is coming to an end. After stinking for most of the season, he's catching fire just as the season is about to end. In the past two games, Webb is 4-for-8, with four runs, a double and two triples.
- Matt Packer: SP, Akron: W (9-12), 6 2/3, 7 H, 2 R/ER, 2 BB, 4 K: Packer has turned what was a really bad season into a really good season, seemingly in the blink of an eye. Over his last ten games, the lefty has gone 6-3, with a stellar 2.81 ERA. Even more impressive is the fact that he's gone at least eight innings in six of the ten, and in at least seven innings in seven of the ten. Unfortunately, last night was an out away from reaching seven. Still, another stellar start for one of the best left-handed pitchers in the system.
- Tyler Holt: CF, Kinston: 1-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K: Holt's job is to get on base, and score runs, and he's been doing that all season long for the K-Tribe. You have to look past his low numbers because of the offensively challenged Carolina League.
- Bo Greenwell: RF, Kinston: 1-3, 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB: Greenwell is back, and hitting. He's 2-for-6 in his last two games, which isn't earth shattering, but it's likely just a warm-up to a kid that missed over two months.
- Adam Abraham: 3B, Kinston: 3-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 BB: Adam, if you're reading this, I want to be the first to apologize for not having you at the top of this list with the other stars of the day. You deserve it, but I just ran out of room. Abraham continued to hit the ball well with a grand slam last night as the K-Tribe tries to make one last appearance in the playoffs for the city of Kinston. Abraham has two three-hit games in his last three, going 6-for-11, with two runs, two homers and five RBI altogether.
- Preston Guilmet: Closer, Kinston: 1 IP, 4 H, 4 R/ER, 2 BB, 1 HR: Guilmet got shellacked last night, but managed to hold on after giving up four runs in the ninth. I could go on about this, but Guilmet has been lights-out this year. One bad outing, even as the team is fighting for a playoff slot, does not make a season.
- LeVon Washington: CF, Lake County: 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 K, SB (15): The Indians are finally starting to see the reason why they drafted this kid so high in 2010. He had his third two-hit game over the past four, and is 6-for-16 during the stretch. Of course, he was 0-for-18 in his previous five games, which showcases just how raw this kid's talent is.
- Ronny Rodriguez: SS, Lake County: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 K: Rodriguez keeps throwing up games like this just enough to let you see just how good he can be when it's all clicking. He hits lefties extremely well (.308), and as this 19-year-old continues to develop and improve against righties, so will his his chances of becoming a major leaguer.
- Alex Monsalve: C, Lake County: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI: Monsalve has been in a bit of a slump lately, but came back with a nice game last night. He's still hitting .264 for the season, but is lighting up left-handers to the tune of .344.
- Felix Sterling: SP, Lake County: 6 IP, 3 H, 3 R/ER, 4 BB, 4K, 1 K: The flame flowing righty didn't have a perfect start, but it wasn't bad either, especially after not having pitched more than an innings since August 25th.
- Clayton Ehlert: Closer, Lake County: S (15), 1 IP, 1 H, 1 K: With Guilmet getting blasted last night, it's time to give Ehlert a bit of the closing spotlight. He picked up his 15th save (Lake County has only won 51 games), and has only given up one earned run over his last 11 2/3 innings, dropping his overall ERA to 1.71.
- Alex Lavisky: DH, Mahoning Valley: 2-4, 1 R, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K: Alex Lavisky is only 20-years-old. Keep that in mind when you see his .205 batting average. You see, Lavisky has a bunch of talent, and at his best, he'll be able to drive in a bunch of runs.
- Evan Frazer: SS, Mahoning Valley: 3-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K: Frazer had his best game as a professional last night, as he blasted his first home run, and drove in two of the Scrappers six runs. He also managed to hit three of Mahoning Valley's seven total hits.
- Robert Nixon: SP, Mahoning Valley: W (7-3), 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R/1 ER, 1 HR, 2 BB, 6 K: Nixon gave the Indians his second solid start in a row in winning his seventh game of the year. Not bad for a 46th rounder.
- Jack Wagoner: RP, Mahoning Valley: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 2 K: Wagoner gave up his first run in his last appearance, but bounced back last night with two strong innings. Overall, he's 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA. He's clearly someone to watch in the low minors.

We're taking the train up to Fort Tryon Park, experiencing the motet again (I can't get there often enough), then walking the 100 blocks home, following the Hudson where we can. I'm looking forward to digging out my hiking boots.
Other plans include tapas, a book about mushroom hunters, making steak pie and visiting a baby.
Happy weekend.

Since redirect resources are in fact permanent until deleted (the temporariness is completely unknown), I see no reason why they wouldn't all be the same kind of redirect resource.

The New York Rangers have officially "relieved John Tortorella of his coaching duties."
The surprising dismissal of the polarizing coach comes after going 77-42 over the past two seasons, reaching the Eastern Conference Finals last year, and the second round this season while dealing with a couple key injuries and a tragically nonexistent Brad Richards.
With King Hank becoming a free agent next summer, fans and media alike will immediately begin to speculate if Torts getting the axe was his preference. Have fun with that.
One thing we do know is angry scribe Larry Brooks — getting some hilarious wrath in the above video — is probably the happiest man in New York City today.
Now please join me in the celebrating this endless entertaining man.
"Holy crap, give me another question please."
"It's a rule." *endless silence*
"We sucked. And we sucked at a time that you can't suck."
I'm with you Torts, I too loathe people that use the pay phone ring.
"Have you ever been in a fight before?"
"It's one of the most arrogant organizations in the league. They whine about this stuff all the time."
"I wish you guys would watch the god damn thing and report on the game."
Yup, I miss him already.

Marketing Your Business
When we define marketing, we build on a term we know: market. We know that the market we are talking about is not a specific place, but rather our current or potential customers:
– Who are interested in buying products and services like the ones we sell.

Managing Your Finances
The goal of managing cash flow is to have more money coming into the business than going out of it. It is important to maintain a steady positive cash flow. The credit we receive from suppliers is not yet cash out of our business; the credit we give our customers is not yet cash into our business. It is important to manage both types of credit carefully.

Live videos are only one way a company might get in touch with probable clients, but it's usually one that is going to help the business owner view a significant return on their own expense. When they'll need to have a live video completed, they'll need to work together with a skilled professional to be able to be sure the live video production is going to be a success.
Live videos really are a new and exciting solution to generate videos that get in touch with likely consumers. As they are live, individuals are able to interact with the video as it's being shot, which is something lots of folks enjoy doing. Even if perhaps they may not be excited about the company before they read about the live video, having the ability to interact whilst the video is being produced can help make them a consumer. There is certainly quite a bit the company could do to help promote the organization through the live video and also can use it as an incredibly successful marketing plan.
To produce the live video, still, the small business owner is going to want to explore live video production in Los Angeles. By working together with a professional, they're able to make sure every little thing goes effortlessly through the production and also can make sure that technical or any other concerns are not going to cause virtually any problems for them. The company owner may speak with an expert now to learn much more regarding live videos and how the specialist might help make the video a winner.

If we used Beancounters as Pavel and Kirill mentioned, that would keep track of each container that has referenced a page, not just the first container. It sounds like beancounters can return a usage count where each page is divided by the number of referencing containers (e.g. 1/3rd if 3 containers share a page). Presumably it could also return a full count of 1 to each container. If we look at data in the latter form, i.e. each container must pay fully for each page used, then Eric could use that to determine real usage needs of the container. However we could also use the fractional count in order to do things such as charging the container for its actual usage. i.e. full count for setting guarantees, fractional for actual usage. -- Ethan-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to firstname.lastname@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

The salute brought Graves out of
his house,.
Even at that distance I detected a
something irresolute in his manner.
"That's funny," I said to Don.
"He's coming to meet us in spite of
the fact that he's much rather not.
Oh, well!"
I left the schooner -while she was
still under way, and reached the
beach before Graves came up. There
were too many strange brown men to
suit Don, and he kept very close to
my legs. When Graves arrived the
the natives fell away from him as if
he was a leper. He wore a sort of
sickly smile, and when he spoke the
dog stiffened his legs and growled
"My dear fellow," I said, "what
the devil is the matter?"
Graves looked to right and left, and
the islanders shrank still further
away from him.
-'You can see for yourself," he said
curtly. "I'm taboo."
"I've been back there in the grass,"
he said, "and because because noth
ing happened to me I'm taboo."
"Is that all?"
"As far as they know yes."
"Well!" said I, "my business will
take me back there for days at a
time, so 111 be taboo, too. Then
there'll be two of us. Did you find
any curious grasses for me?"
"I don't know about grasses," he
asid, "but I found something very
curious that I want to show you and
ask your advice about."
So we started for Graves' house,
Don very close at my heels.
"Graves," I said, "surely a taboo
by a lot of fool islanders hasn't upset
you. There's something on your mind.
Bad news?"
"Oh, no," he said. "She's coming.
It's other things. I'll tell you by and
by everything. Don't mind me, I'm
all right."
"You say you found something

and stood aside for me to go in first. -.
"Shut up, Don!"
The dog growled savagely, but I

and followed into the house all tense
and watchful.

what I took to be an idol of some light

When I was a teen I took Michigan trips to the Sweet Sixteen for granted.
No more. They've earned the road they've gotten to take and they deserve this, but it's still awesome.
Captioned "chess v. checkers" by Land-Grant Holy Land
Michigan comfortably advances to the second weekend of the tournament. Yes, this calls for Muppets.
And you can't have one without the other...
BEAT DUKE hahahahahahahaha this weekend is great.
When I was a teen I took Michigan trips to the Sweet Sixteen for granted.
No more. They've earned the road they've gotten to take and they deserve this, but it's still awesome.
Hail to the victors valiant
we need the glenn block as a gif!
For 35 minutes, it was a clinic. We dismantled them. Gotta clean up those 5 minutes though, can't be letting teams back into it.
Yeah, sorta... But Texas isn't a nobody, and with how other favorites have fared in wins and losses, any victory is good. That Michigan looked mostly great is a bonus.
I mean it's unrealistic to expect a completely flawless performance but they never got closer than 6 I think in the second half. Overall great performance.
We got some rebounds...
Sweet Victory!
And then just head back to play defense. The ball had barely left his hands and he knew the result. Everyone else was left waiting.
how sweet it is
blaming Texas' youth. I guess starting 3 sophomores and a freshman with a 3 man bench that includes a freshman and sophmore isn't young.
I mean they weren't wrong. Texas is extremely young and they should get better as their PG diversifies his offensive game outside of floaters. I thought they were fairly even on praise for both teams even if it seemed like they didn't know Michigan that well (calling the 1-3-1 a matchup, saying "I can see now how this team went 15-3 in its league")
Michigan isn't gonna get any love for being young when the only guys on the floor for us that didn't have experience from last year's national title run were Walton and Irvin.
Cbs talking heads are talking about j-mo! Two double-doubles in a row... He's this year's mcgary! Ballin' hard!
Two straight years to the Sweet 16. Beilein, you are an excellent coach.
Swehrt sehrxtehrn!
Incidently, this was the same margin of victory as when MSU beat Texas (at MSU). Hmm...what does it mean...
at all... different time, different game
Incidently, this was the same margin of victory as when MSU beat Texas (at MSU). Hmm...what does it mean...
I'm 54. From 1985 through 1998 I took the NCAA for granted and never doubted we'd make the field, the only mystery was how far would we go. I saw three final fours in five years and thought we were destined to always be there.
I then endured the dark years from 1999 to 2009 and wondered if we'd ever get back here again. I had no interest in the tourny cause Michigan, year after year, was outside looking in.
Now we are back. TRULY back. NCAA appearances in five of the last six years and now we are marching into the sweet 16 and perhaps beyond. What Coach Beilein has been able to do with our team is nothing short of amazing. This is wonderful.
Once again.
I agree. There have been several "dark ages" during our time. The late 70's-early 80's were also very bad. But Bellein is the coach I've been waiting for for years. Go Blue all the way!
I dunno. Those teams were pretty damn good (Mike McGee and the Bodner twins would KILL for a three point line) but always a game or two away from making it.
I'm 46 and was a senior in '89. The possibility of not making the field never occurred to us. I did take it for granted that we would always be there. Never again!
Relevance is so much fun...
I used to not even pay attention until the Sweet Sixteen. My attitude was "Who cares until the Sweet Sixteen? If they can't make it that far, then they're not worth watching anyway." Spoiled entitled brat, I was.
Not anymore. Muppet away.
The field seems to be much more balanced in the past few years than what it was 20-30 years ago. I know there have always been upsets, but it does seem that many of these early round games are more competitive than they used to be and probably harder for teams to consitently make it to the sweet sixteen than it was decades ago.
amazing perspective and I appreciate your guys sharing it. Beilien is a stud of a coach; this recent string of success must be amazing to see relative to the lost decade mentioned, during which I was in UM purgatory (growing in ACC country prior to attending UM).
Awesome to find the right coach, at the right time and he does it the right way. Hail.
Chunkums you are amazing. So glad you're on our team.
Our own little LSU Freak.
this doesn't get old!
The only way this season could have been a disappointment for me was to not make the Sweet Sixteen. That is done, now let's get greedy and keep it going.
I agree with you and Gordon
Did anyone catch Horford eating an apple during CBS' look-in to Beilein's locker room speech after the game?
Dipped in Green Tea and Honey, no doubt.
Apples are crazy!
muppets are for outperforming our seed
That is brilliant!
Never take a Sweet Sixteen for granted.
Signed, Coach K.
After seeing the endless close games and overtime games the last 3 days, we've had it pretty well. Sweating out while up 11 tonight and thinking we suck after winning by 17 on Thursday. I'll take it.
Couldn't be in a better mood now. GO BLUE!!!!
i'm just so pumped.
After surviving both McGary's absence and Gauntlet I/II, a win at Breslin (weird guys or not), an outright B1G title and a berth in the tourney finals, the Sweet Sixteen is a fine place to be. Anything else is house money from here on out. Go Blue!
Watching it over and over again it's apparent that Nik put it right on the money. GRIII just high balled it and slammed it home. Didn't have to adjust his path at all
but imagine this team plus McGary.
Would downvote, but y'all won't let me

On November 30, 1939, the Soviet Union's Red Army invaded the young nation-state of Finland, in the full expectation of routing the small, ill-equipped Finnish army and annexing the former Russian territory by the end of the year. But Finland held out for 105 bitterly cold, fiercely combative days, until March 15, 1940, when a peace agreement ended the short, savage Winter War.
At the stirring center of the story lie the resourcefulness and resolve of the Finnish people, who against all military odds-in want of ammunition, food, sleep, and troops-fought a blundering, ineptly commanded Red Army to a standstill. On March 15, they ceded to the Soviet 11 percent of their territory and 30 percent of their economic assets, but none of their national pride.
The Russians meanwhile had markedly damaged their international standing and effectively ruined their military reputation-to such an extent, as this probing chapter in World War II history demonstrates, that Germany, with proud-blooded Finland as an ally, dared to launch its 1940 invasion of Russia. At the same time, though, the fiasco of the Winter War forced Stalin to acknowledge the shortcomings of the Red Army and to reform it: Germany would fall at Stalingrad in 1941.
With authority, this skillfully narrated military history unfolds its story of the four-month Soviet-Finnish war and explores its consequences from London to Moscow, from Helsinki to Paris, to Washington, DC.

Thread: Choosing a degree concentration
Choosing a degree concentration
I'm closing in on the time where if I wanted a concentration with my degree I would have to declare it soon, however I can't decide which one I want. My 2 options are Security and Gaming.
Security is a VERY fascinating topic for me and will be very mentally stimulating, however, after reading up on it some it seems extremely math heavy(number theory, discrete math, patterns, etc) and math isn't one of my better subjects. Security seems a more secure(pun intended) option as far as job stability goes but it also seems more stressful knowing that one mistake I make can cost the company millions in trade secrets, lawsuits for leaked employee information, etc.
Gaming may not be as complicated but sounds like a blast. I'm a male 18-24 age bracket who programs and enjoys video games. It just makes sense. I know that the military uses "gaming software" for simulation training and such but if I was to get into this field I would want to develop video games no simulation training software. This isn't as math heavy(still requires some semi complex calculus, statistics, etc) but there's also alot of graphics required(I can't draw to save my life).
I'm curious for feedback from people who've worked in these fields and any advice anyone can give.Liberty has never come from the government.
Liberty has always come from the subjects of government.
The history of liberty is the history of resistance.
The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.
I vote for the first option. Lots of reasons on that.
Security is the key on all applications, actually it must. I think you have more value on this. Authentications and stuff make a real difference in all the way. As you said, knowledge of mathematical concepts/algorithms is must. Cryptography helpful in great way as well.
Even for small applications, security make a big difference. We have to think about it seriously. Just think about the privacy policies we have to follows in software developments. A small issue enough for us to close-up whole process.
to secure or to game ?
Judas... both sound great... security will always be needed (it started when Julius Ceaser started shifting things around :-). Gamming will also always be popular, but don't fool yourself... there's plenty of math in gamming: for a simple pong game you need to know angles, velocity, vectors, etc. IMHO, I would go with security (I love cryptography).
Lots of luck,
CJSLChris S.
Difficult? This is Mission Impossible, not Mission Difficult. Difficult should be easy.
I've strongly been leaning towards security back when I thought it was just cryptography. I'm still heavily anchored towards it but I feel since I only passed discrete math and number theory due to my prof being VERY generous(I never made higher then a 30% on a test and passed the class with an 87) I feel like by going down that route I'll be guaranteed a job but I might not be competent enough to be good at it.
Is alot of current day security just knowing AES, DES, RSA, etc and how/when to implement it or is it actually devising ciphers(?) and encryption algorithms for each program?Liberty has never come from the government.

If you are going to get a degree for game development you will probably end up doing 3d game development. While the graphics end of it might require some rudimentary math, the physics and other aspects of the game will be very graphics entensive. With game development there will also be a large emphasis on optimization. There are also things such as AI, and networking which are encorporated within modern games.
However, you also must remember that with game development you will probably be limited to using c, c++, and windows for high-end commercial games.
I wonder if my university would allow me a double concentration and I just end up staying an extra year to get the classes. That way I could do secure gaming or have the option to fall back to the other field if I don't really like the one I'm in.
Networking doesn't really interest me(did that with A+ cert) however AI, Cryptography, Neural Networks. I think I need to co-op at a game design studio to get a good idea of what's really involved. I'm still not even sure if it will just be using computer programs to draw and animate or if that's the artists job and I'll just be writing code for how those objects interact with the environment, player stats, attack probability, etc(all the backend stuff)
Who knows perhaps I can just flip a coin and choose. It's only 40k a year in student loans if I don't like it lol.Liberty has never come from the government.

Hey, i have a degree in computer networking, and the security modules within are geared around asymmetric (rsa) and symmetric encryption, DES, AES etc. As i have only done one module in it, i can not talk about dedicated security topics, however you do need to know a bit of maths to get by, however most of the calculations were allowed (with us) to be done on a calculator.
There's much more to security than just maths. And there's a huge ton of maths involved in computer graphics.

I would agree with orangedog I have just finished a computer science degree I did a lot of gaming and 3d programming and there was an oppressive amount of maths....
And at the present AI involves a lot as well.

Its almost as if computer science is a subset of maths!
Actually my maths is pretty poor I just had to study very hard to get by. Luckily I now do a job where very little is required (other than set theory which is easy).
Involve of set theory is more less in game programming I guess. Because we can build any logic using set theory. Prepositions can be useful.

Amma Nanna Charitable Trust (ACT)
All Religions Orphan Children Home
Many people in the society are looking for helping hands. Let's be a hope to them. Amma Nanna Charitable Trust is one among them. Our orphan children who have no parent's age group between 3 to 12 years and also joining Widows, Deceived and Separated Women at free of charges only. Our children have been staying with us up to their life settlement that means they will stand with their own bases.
If you feel you are also responsible to the society, please, if you come across such people in and around your surroundings, give a hope to them by providing our address and we take care of them with pleasure.
"Please don't Drink Alcohol and other intoxicates Live a happily and make Peaceful Society"
Everyone should read and write his/her regional language. We don't try to take any Loans it leads to bitter life. We can live a happily in Kutcha house without loans, and then granite floored building with Loans. Loans make damage peaceful life and leads us misbehavior and corrupt minding nature.
For Orphan children we are providing good education, nutritious food, sports and games, cultural activities, meditation and yoga. We are very particular in teaching them good behavior, how to be responsible to the situations, moral and spiritual values and civic senses which in deed helps in providing a healthy citizen to the society in our Orphanage children home. For deceived women or widows, we are providing nutritious food, shelter, healthy and spiritual environment, yoga and meditation. We even accept them as the Volunteers with a service motto as we all know "SERVICE TO LIFE IS SERVICE TO GOD"
Do you know depending upon parents and teachers' behaviors children learn good or bad activities? For example we choose one regional language in particular state, different areas living people speak different stylish the same regional language because it's their environment effect. So when parents/teachers create good environments to their children doing good things like social, civic, moral, spiritual, cultural, social response, kind, humanity etc… Then children growing such way if not they will grimy.

The protocol seems to allow a workspace to contain multiple bindings (names) for a single version-controlled resource. We're trying to understand how multiple bindings coexist with workspaces and baselines, for our implementation. The multiple bindings are introduced in the MERGE and UPDATE semantic additions of the VERSION-CONTROLLED-COLLECTION feature. The DAV:update-version-controlled-collection-members postcondition includes the following condition on new version-controlled member creation: > If a new version-controlled member is in a workspace that already > has a version-controlled resource for that version history, then > the new version-controlled member MUST be just a binding (i.e. > another name for) that existing version-controlled resource. > And an earlier thread talked about UPDATE of a Version Controlled Configuration: > Is This A Bug? > > - Baseline feature: Is it possible to construct a workspace which > contains multiple VCR's with different DAV:checked-in versions > for a given VHR by doing a MOVE of a VCR from one > baseline-controlled collection to another, and then UPDATING the > VCC's for those BCC's? > > I think the intent of the spec is clear (only one VCC for a given > version history in a given workspace), but I agree that > we are missing a postcondition on the MOVE operation. A > workspace is required to have only one VCR for a given version > history, so any operation that would violate that constraint (which a > MOVE could) should fail. Similarly, we should clarify in the extended > UPDATE semantics, so that it is clear that the UPDATE of a VCC causes > an existing VCR to be bound into a collection, if there already is a > VCR for a given version history in the workspace. > I interpreted the last sentence of the reply to mean that the DAV:set-baseline-controlled-collection-members postcondition added by BASELINE to UPDATE (and MERGE), should include a statement similar to that in DAV:update-version-controlled-collection-members, requiring the creation of a binding to an existing VCR in the workspace. Is this the right interpretation? Is it also right to imply that the DAV:checked-in version of the VCR (assuming that it is checked-in) remains as it was preceding the MERGE / UPDATE, in particular the DAV:checked-in version does _not_ necessarily match the version held in the baseline? Should there be a similar extension to the DAV:select-existing-baseline postcondition? This would cover the case of initializing a collection from an existing baseline, where the collection is a member of a workspace, and both the workspace and baseline contain VCRs for the same version history. Also, how should BASELINE-CONTROL behave on a workspace containing such duplicate bindings? For example, suppose a workspace contains /ws/cmp1/src/foo.html and /ws/cmp2/src/bar.html, and that /ws/cmp2/src/bar.html is a binding (another name for) the resource, /ws/cmp1/src/foo.html. If you first BASELINE-CONTROL /ws/cmp1, and then BASELINE-CONTROL /ws/cmp2, should the second BASELINE-CONTROL operation omit the VCR identified by /ws/cmp2/src/bar.html (because it is already a member of a configuration created by baseline-controlling /ws/cmp1)? If it is omitted, then it seems like the baseline of cmp2 has lost some important information about the structure of component 2 (cmp2). If it is not omitted, then it seems to conflict with the description of configuration membership.

"Why can't all of us including the media give parents more control over what their children see on TV, in the movies, on the Internet, and videogames?"
So lamented first lady/New York senatorial candidate Hillary Clinton in her Monday night speech at the Democratic National Convention.
Pardon me for disagreeing with the smartest woman in America, but the only parents who don't have control over what their children see are the ones who choose not to exercise it.
Here are a couple of suggestions for Hil to take on the campaign trail suggestions that might appeal more to some of those undecided voters in Scarsdale and White Plains than turning to government for all the answers.
It's called the "off" button.
It's called don't let your children have TVs hooked up to VCRs and DVD players in their bedrooms.
It's called monitoring your child's access to the family's Internet connection.
It's called screening the videos and CDs that your children buy or borrow.
It's called knowing who your children's friends are and who their friends' parents are so you can be confident that when little Jennifer and Joey are next door or down the street, they aren't watching or listening to anything you disapprove of.
It's called being parents who are engaged and involved in their children's lives. It's called being the adult in the relationship, the grown-up who firmly but lovingly uses one very simple word: "no."
What a concept.
It's apparently a concept too hard for many people to grasp, including some people running for elected office. Therefore, government must step in as that oft-cited village to help raise the children.
So we get V-chips that are supposed to keep the little ones from accessing programs that we don't approve of, and a TV ratings system so convoluted that no one understands the warning chyrons that appear in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Parenting tools, they're called.
Not all diehard Democrats buy these high-tech substitutes for parents.
James A. Fox, an expert on violence and crime trends, has been an adviser to the Clinton White House on a number of occasions. In Fort Worth last week to address the Crime Prevention Resource Center about juvenile crime, Fox said that this country is moving in the wrong direction by trying to handle the problem of violence and sexual content in the media by enabling adults to parent by long-distance via remote control.
"The fundamental issue is not what the kids are watching, but who's watching the kids," Fox said. "Too many children are undersocialized and undersupervised."
Fox said that 60 percent of America's children do not have a full-time parent at home; 49 percent of those children are under the age of 6.
Yes, there is an increasing level of vulgarity and violence in the media, and not just on cable TV and in the movie houses. But part of the reason is that the ratings and the V-chips tools that were supposed to give parents "more control" over the content of what their children watched backfired.
The networks "guiltlessly infused TV shows with sex and violence," Fox said, because the onus is on the parents to use them. Hey, they warned you. If you're too lazy or too inattentive or just too busy with things in your life other than your children, that's not Rupert Murdoch's problem now, is it?
"No parent should be forced to compete with popular culture to raise their children," Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman protested Wednesday night during his acceptance speech for the Democratic vice-presidential nomination.
Pardon me, but who let Hollywood take your kids to raise? When did it become acceptable for parents to cede authority to the networks or the movie moguls or the music producers for their children's cultural edification?
People who want to get the media's attention, who want to make a statement about the garbage that is masquerading as popular culture, can do it without V-chips and ratings and government regulations.
It's called being a parent.
