The PC version of Starbreeze's stealthy first-person shooter does indeed have a three-machine install limit, Atari told Shacknews in a statment, but customers can acquire more activations, assuming "it's a legitimate request," by calling the Atari hotline.
"We implement this protection in an effort to avoid early piracy," explained Atari. "The [initial] activation code lets you install the game on up to 3 machines, with an unlimited number of installs on each assuming that you don't change any major hardware in your PC or re-install your operating system."
Concerns arose earlier in the month after an Atari Forums post, citing PC Gamer, claimed that the DRM was non-revocable. This led many to believe that a copy of the PC game could only ever be installed three times, with no chance of recovery after that.
In response, Amazon.com was flooded with negative reviews and one-star ratings for the game. One review claimed that "DRM restrictions have left this game unplayable," adding "it isn't even any good." Another was titled "3 Installs: Piracy wins again".
Machine-based activation limits are nothing new in the land of PC DRM. Far Cry 2, Spore, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Crysis Warhead, Dead Space and many other titles have used this particular technique in an attempt to restrict piracy.
Typically, legitimate owners can either revoke past installs or call customer support for assistance if they find themselves hampered by the limit.
An enhanced remake of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (PC, Xbox) with an entirely new campaign and the addition of multiplayer, Dark Athena (PC, PS3, X360) launched in North America this week, and arrives in Europe on April 24.

After Opening Day lie the great mysteries
Once the pomp and pageantry subsides, who knows what will come to pass?
I'm excited for Opening Day.
The pomp and the pageantry of gigantic flags, fighter-jet flyovers and ardent anthems. Kids playing hooky and healthy adults burning sick days. Rookies in awe of their surroundings, veterans still getting goosebumps, and all of us attempting, often vainly, to repress the urge to draw grand conclusions from one measly result out of 162.
I'll be in Cincinnati for Opening Day, and there they'll have the annual Findlay Market Parade and a ceremonial first pitch from Joe Torre. They'll even have an honorary captain -- DJ Bob Kevoian from the "Bob & Tom Show." I have no idea what an honorary captain does (oversee home run replay reviews, perhaps?) or why Kevoian, a Los Angeles native and Dodgers fan, was selected to be said captain, but, whatever. It's Opening Day, when all is well and accepted. And whether you're in Cincinnati or D.C., Los Angeles or the Bronx, the atmosphere will be festive and uplifting.
Of course, the caveat with Opening Day is that it's followed by game two, unheralded and uncapitalized. And let's face it: In many markets, in many years, game two and all that comes after simply can't live up to the hype and the hope of the opener.
But that's what makes 2013 so interesting and so entertaining. Even those of us who follow this sport for a living are completely stumped as to what to expect from game two onward. We can't seem to come to any real consensus on who, exactly, is a favorite to win the World Series. (That the consensus generally tends to be incorrect anyway is beside the point.)
My gut says the Nationals, but I wouldn't bet my 401(k) on it. To assume their rotation will be as robust as it was in 2012 is to assume a lot, from Stephen Strasburg withstanding the wear and tear of 200 innings to Dan Haren reclaiming past glories to Gio Gonzalez overcoming the cloud of Biogenesis speculation and putting up Cy Young-worthy numbers again.
I like the Tigers, too. You know ... the club that cut its would-be rookie closer on Thursday, leaving it potentially vulnerable to the whims of a ninth-inning committee (which, admittedly, might be better than being vulnerable to the whims of a rookie closer with control woes).
Love the Reds. Of course, I loved them when they were up 2-0 on the Giants in the National League Division Series last year. So you can see how lasting my love can be.
Normally, I'd consider the Yankees a cinch to make the playoffs. But in the time it took you to read this, two more members of their lineup went on the disabled list.
I like the Angels a lot, though I'm not sure "Game 3 starter Joe Blanton" will have a very nice ring to it come October.
Really, I could go on and on like this, but then I'd just sound like a nattering nabob of negativism, to borrow a phrase from Spiro Agnew (who, come to think of it, wasn't very good at predicting the outcome of things, either).
The negativity, though, doubles as positivity, in a weird way. Because for every argument, there is an equally convincing counterargument, and what's better than a great baseball debate?
As I write this, Baseball Prospectus' statistically savvy Playoff Odds report gives just three teams -- the Tigers (66.5), Reds (63.7) and Dodgers (52.8) -- a better-than-50-percent chance to win their divisions. They give 15 of the 30 teams a 30-percent-or-better shot at making the playoffs (including, interestingly, the Mets and Red Sox and not including the Phillies and Blue Jays, inviting yet another argument). They're giving the Orioles -- a team I picked, with some hesitation, to win the confusing American League East after consultation with some scouts -- just a five-percent chance of reaching the playoffs.
One of us (probably me, if history is any indication) is going to look really dumb when all is said and done.
That's the beauty of it. Revenue sharing, national and regional TV money and the advent of extra Wild Cards have compressed the talent and increased the quirkiness in this sport arguably like never before.
In recent months, we saw the Indians and Pirates plucking free agents from the Yankees. We saw the Blue Jays and Dodgers adding incredibly costly payroll commitments to their rosters and inviting both optimism and scrutiny in the process, because every single one of those guys they added is accompanied by a legitimate question mark. And while we know that payroll can put a team in a better position to contend year over year, the stunning successes of the A's and O's a season ago are a reminder of the quirks that exist within a single season.
This season has the potential to be as random as ever, and I love the chaos of that. I love that I can give you some really strong reasons why the Nats will win the World Series and you can come back with some really strong reasons why I have no idea what the heck I'm talking about.
That, ultimately, is what you want on Opening Day. You want a reason to come back for game two and all that follows.

Symptoms of Epilepsy
Epilepsy seizures differ in their severity and can cause a wide range of symptoms. Some seizures can be mild and last only a minute or two. Other seizures cause intense symptoms that last much longer. Acute, repetitive seizures can result in damage to the heart or brain, and possibly death if emergency treatment is not given right away.
There are many different ways of classifying seizures. Examples include:
Partial or Focal Seizures
These seizures begin from just one part of the brain. Symptoms include:
- Tingling or numbness sensations in the arms, legs, hands, or feet
- Muscle twitching of one side of a limb, hand, finger, or muscle
- Experiencing smells, tastes, sights, sounds, or other sensations that are not real
- Unusual, repetitive, uncontrolled motions or movements, such as chewing movements or smacking of the lips
The term Jacksonian march implies that the symptoms spread from one part of the body to another. Focal onset seizures can become generalized. This means that they spread to both sides of the brain.
Generalized Convulsive (Grand Mal) Seizures
These seizures begin from both sides of the brain. Symptoms include:
- Unconsciousness
- Loss of urinary or bowel control
- Muscle spasms or stiffening of the muscles
- Drop attacks
- Unusual, repetitive, uncontrolled motions or movements
- Biting of tongue
Prior to the convulsions:
- Feeling of unusual warning, such as the smell of burning rubber
After convulsions:
- Deep sleep, drowsiness, confusion, or altered responsiveness
- Awakening with headache
- Awakening with no memory of the seizure
General Seizures Without Convulsions
One type of generalized seizure without convulsions is known as absence, also called petit mal, seizures. This type is more common in children. Symptoms include:
- Appearance of daydreaming
- Blinking of the eyes rhythmically
- Twitching of facial muscles
- No memory of the seizure after it occurs
- Very characteristic EEG pattern
There are also other types of generalized seizures without convulsive activity.

Cardinals boast remarkable depth in rotation
ST. LOUIS -- This is the fifth story in a seven-part Around the Horn series that takes a position-by-position look at the Cardinals' projected starters and other options heading into Spring Training. Up next: starting pitchers.
The Cardinals enter 2013 touting depth, which is a testament to the focus the organization has put on developing elite talent through its Minor League system. And in no area is that depth more obvious than on the starting pitching front, where the Cardinals have a core of veterans, along with an ascending bunch of dynamic right-handed arms, ready to take the reins.
That depth was critical in 2012, when just weeks into Spring Training the club learned that it would be without Chris Carpenter indefinitely. Lance Lynn stepped up and went on to win 18 games.
A few months into the season, Jaime Garcia landed on the disabled list, too. That's when Joe Kelly emerged. Eight of his first 12 Major League starts were quality ones.
While sufficient depth sustained the Cardinals through injuries last year, the number of Major League-ready starters seems to be even greater this year. General manager John Mozeliak recently discussed the logjam of pitching with reporters, noting that "if everybody broke [camp] healthy, we'd have a hard time getting a couple players on the roster. I think, right now, depth is our asset."
Returning to the rotation are Adam Wainwright and Jake Westbrook, both of whom are in the final guaranteed year of their respective contracts. Carpenter and Garcia will be back, as well, assuming both incur no injury setbacks. Lynn has the lead on the fifth spot, though Kelly, Shelby Miller and Trevor Rosenthal could make a push with strong showings this spring.
Now nearly two years removed from Tommy John surgery, Wainwright heads to Spring Training without the questions of how his arm will hold up. Including his postseason work, Wainwright threw more than 200 innings in 2012. He won 14 games and worked through an up-and-down first half to become more consistent late in the year.
"I look at that season a number of different ways," Wainwright said. "Did it come out exactly the way I wanted it to? No. But am I also proud of what I was able to accomplish with some of the things I overcame? Yes, absolutely. … Mentally, it was such a boost for me to be able to accomplish a full season of taking the ball every fifth day."
Wainwright will again share the co-ace title with Carpenter, who was sidelined most of last season due to thoracic outlet syndrome and subsequent surgery.
The good news for the Cardinals is that Carpenter has already erased concerns about being able to come back from the procedure. He blew away the original rehab timetable and made six starts, three of which came in the postseason, before shutting back down last fall.
That said, Carpenter didn't return with his usual command and arm strength. Both will be scrutinized this spring as he sets out to prove that there are no lingering effects in his worn right arm.
"I'm excited and looking forward to this year," said Carpenter, who began his offseason throwing program about a month earlier than usual. "I was excited about the way I felt last year. I definitely felt like I needed to get some arm strength back that wasn't there, but I've been working hard this winter. I'm excited to go down there and start from the beginning."
Health will be of particular concern with Garcia, too, given how his 2012 season progressed. After missing more than two months during the regular season with a left shoulder injury, Garcia was shut down by the shoulder ailment during the postseason.
He opted not to have surgery, meaning that no one will know for sure how Garcia's arm will respond until he ramps up his throwing program during Spring Training.
Asked recently if he was confident that the arm issues were past him, Garcia responded: "We'll see. We'll see in April. So far it's been good."
Westbrook ended the year nursing an oblique injury, though that is no longer of concern. Having signed a contract extension last September, Westbrook returns as a veteran who can give the Cardinals length and stability. His 3.97 ERA in 2012 was his lowest in a minimum 25-start season since 2004.
Lynn's ERA was slightly lower (at 3.78) in what was his first full season in the big leagues. Unexpectedly thrust into the rotation last spring, Lynn was an asset and an All-Star. He hit a few rough patches and had to learn about the need to control his emotions, but Lynn put himself in position to enter 2013 as a favorite for the final rotation spot.
That said, Mozeliak made it clear during Winter Warm-Up that Lynn still has to come into Spring Training prepared to compete for the job.
If Lynn hits any bumps, or if the Cardinals are dealt an injury blow to any of their other starters, they have several right-handers in waiting who could slide in and step up. Miller, Rosenthal and Kelly all made their Major League debuts in 2012 and had varying levels of success in varying roles.
All three showed an ability to be successful in the big leagues, and the Cardinals won't hesitate to call on any of them should a need arise in the rotation.
"They are a good group of guys," Westbrook said of the Cardinals' emerging young pitchers. "They go about their business the right way. They're definitely not the type of young guys who think they have it all figured out. They're asking questions and doing what they need to to get better. We've got some unbelievable arms."

"While the guitar work, song intros, and vocals point to more of a noise rock band, this thing actually just kicks ass! Rockin' tempos, punk fuel, with a creative aspect that should knock a ton of people on their lame asses! A molotov cocktail? Yeah, if it was unexpectedly thrown at you by a friend! Basic fast tight punk rock, with repetitive bass lines holding down the simple rhythms and songs about driving and aliens. The first straightforward punk record I've heard from AT in a while. This is actually pretty good."- Maximum Rocknroll

One can mask both search and replace strings as one can mask an IP. It is handy for changing broken user SID/RIDs in ntuser.dat files after you move a profile from somewhere to somewhere else.
GoldenPod is a command line podcast client. It allows you to easily manage and download podcasts from the command line. It can download podcasts from standard RSS(-like) feeds, or it can attempt to parse any other cleartext document (XML or HTML) for a list of audio files and download those. For users already using BashPodder, it can function as a more feature-rich drop-in replacement for it.
dtrx intelligently extracts many different archive types. It will get the contents from tar, zip, rpm, deb, and cpio archives, as well as compressed files, with one simple command. It helps keep your filesystem sane by putting every archive's contents into a dedicated directory, and making sure the owner can read and write whatever's extracted. It can even recursively extract archives.
synctool is a cluster administration tool that keeps configuration files synchronized across all nodes in a cluster. Nodes may be part of a logical group or class, in which case they need a particular subset of configuration files. synctool can restart daemons when needed, if their relevant configuration files have been changed. synctool can also be used to do patch management or other system administrative tasks.
audiopreview is a command-line tool that plays previews of many audio file types (Ogg, MP3, etc.), video file types (AVI, MPEG, Real, etc.), and Internet streams. It can also be used as a regular command-line media file player (i.e. play the files entirely like yauap or mpc123 would).
A minimalist Web server for configuration forms.
Software to build easy-to-use cross platform installers on Linux, OS X, and other platforms.

There's plenty to look forward to when the last eight teams in the EuroCup Women take to the floor and not least, a repeat of last year's Final.
|Temeka Johnson leads the EuroCup Women in assists, confidently running Dynamo Kursk's offense
Kayseri Kaski Spor v Dynamo Kursk
The locals in Kayseri will be hoping their hometown favourites can replicate the result from last season when they managed to ride out 69-55 winners against Kursk in the first leg of the Final. Whilst that didn't ultimately prove enough to clinch the precious silverware on offer, another similar result would be most welcome ahead of the second leg in Russia.
It will of course be tough for the Turkish club since Dynamo Kursk have proven themselves to be a powerful unit again this season and have some in-form players, including Epiphanny Prince, whose lowest score so far this season is 16 points. She brings plenty of scoring power to the table and indeed the entire Kursk roster is packed with real offensive firepower and so Kayseri will have to play exceptional defence if they want to progress.
The addition of Greek national team small forward Zoi Dimitrakou from Bourges Basket has given Kayseri a real boost and she has played particularly well of late, but much will depend on the match-up between Spanish playmaker Nuria Martinez and her counterpart Temeka Johnson. Martinez has work to do in slowing down her rival who leads the competition in assists with 6.6 per game.
Dynamo Moscow v Basket Lattes Montpellier Agglomeration
These two former EuroLeague Women clubs have each enjoyed impressive domestic seasons and on paper, this looks arguably the most mouth-watering quarter-final. Dynamo Moscow are former winners of this competition and will be full of confidence since they are both riding high in the Russian League and recently grabbed the bronze medal at the Cup Final Four.
BLMA meanwhile are leading the French League after an electric first few months of the season, although will be relieved they dodged a bullet in the eighth-finals when they were pushed hard by Adana Botas.
This is a game which could be tight, although BLMA must ensure they match their opponents on the glass, since Dynamo Moscow have really done a great job on the boards all season long. In fact, they have an astonishing seven players on the roster who average five rebounds or more per game which is why they lead the competition in this category.
They also have some devastating finishers around the basket in Tatiana Vidmer and Crystal Langhorne who are shooting the ball exceptionally well from the frontcourt.
Still, BLMA have plenty to offer too and they should be pumped up for the game having lost their only game so far on their last trip to Russia against fellow quarter-finalist Chevakata, whilst they come into the contest off the back of only their second defeat of the season in the French League when they crashed to another fellow EuroCup Women quarter-finalist Hainaut Basket.
Geraldine Robert has been outstanding for the French side all year and shooting an amazing 69.4% from the field, so she will again be pivotal to their chances of progressing.
|Glory Johnson is enjoying an impressive debut season in the EuroCup Women
Hainaut Basket may be locked in a relegation battle in the French League after a disastrous domestic campaign, but boosted by that exceptional success against leaders BLMA last weekend, they will head to Vologda with some real confidence. They can also take heart from their defensive capabilities which have seen them manage to stay pretty much in every game and grind out enough victories to get this far.
However, there have been a couple of key changes in the Hainaut camp since their eighth-final success, with two of their top three scorers in the shape of Stefanie Murphy and Vera Perostiyska departing and being replaced by Ifunanya Ibekwe and veteran Petra Stampalija.
Chevakata can reflect on their near miracle performance last time out when they came back from the dead against Antakya to again reach the quarter-finals. Central to that success was Glory Johnson and the player with a monumental season double-double of 17 points and 12 rebounds per game will be the focal point for the hosts.
Nantes Reze are hoping to take the first step towards history when they play in Slovakia against MBK Ruzomberok. For having also qualified for the last eight of the competition a couple of years ago during their rookie season in the competition, they have never reached the semi-finals, something which if achieved, would represent their best ever European campaign.
In order to accomplish this mission, head coach Emmanual Coeuret must come up with a strategy to limit the impact of stand-out star Sequioa Holmes who is averaging 18.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, ensure his players successfully handle the severe ball pressure applied by Ruzomberok and the players also compete physically with their opponents.
"Ruzomberok are very physical. They play on energy," explained Coeuret. "I think it may be a match made for Bernie Ngoyisa.
"I see no equivalent in France for their tactical organisation and it will be a quarter-final of totally opposing styles."
He added: "There is no pressure on us. It's only a bonus that it could be historic for the club."
The first legs will be played on 16 and 17 January with the second leg games to be played on 23 and 24 January.

Giants' road to destiny just can't be stopped
Sure, there's a long way to go, but for the Tigers to win, they must not only stall the rampaging Giants, but also a hidden force from above that seems to be guiding the National League champions.
It's as if they're playing on a giant Parcheesi board. Some of the twists and turns that are making them so successful might not be of their own making.
From the moment the Cardinals built their 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven NL Championship Series last week, the Giants have been under a spell.
Not only did San Francisco daze Detroit, 8-3, on Wednesday night, but the Giants did it against the invincible Justin Verlander.
It's Verlander, 2011's AL MVP Award and AL Cy Young Award winner, whom experts said would give the Tigers at least two wins in this 108th Fall Classic and stop the runaway train that has been the Giants this postseason.
This postseason?
They've won four straight now, beginning when the Giants were supposed to be toast at the hands of the Cards. Of course, they won six consecutive elimination games and carried that momentum to Game 1 of this World Series.
"I'm a guy that doesn't believe in momentum in baseball," Detroit skipper Jim Leyland said during Wednesday night's postmortems. "I think momentum is your next day's pitcher."
Maybe, but ...
It's as if this postseason has been willed to the Giants.
When Verlander left after four shaky innings, it marked his shortest outing not related to weather since June 16, 2009, when he lasted just four innings against the Cardinals.
Consider this: Since they were staring elimination in their faces when the Cards won their third NLCS game, the Giants have outscored their opponents, 28-4.
You just cannot figure out these Giants. They spotted the Reds two wins in the NL Division Series, then blitzed them in the next three to extend their October journey.
The first-game World Series winner has gone on to win the championship 66 times and 13 of the past 15.
The way the Giants are moving toward the finish line is uncanny.
For someone who's reporting on his 48th World Series, I keep saying, "I haven't seen that before" or "Can you believe that?"
Pablo Sandoval -- who joined Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson and Albert Pujols as players who've slugged three homers in a World Series game -- hit No. 1 with two outs in the first inning before many in the hysterical crowd of 42,855 had found their seats at AT&T Park.
If Reggie is truly Mr. October, the Giants are the "Team of October."
After a perfect second inning and with two down in the third, Verlander seemed to be finding a groove. But Angel Pagan fouled off seven pitches before drilling a scorching grounder just inside the third-base line that Miguel Cabrera seemed poised to glove and throw the runner out. Instead, the ball hit the corner of the bag and caromed past Cabrera into left field.
Advantage: Giants.
Pagan ended up on second base with a double. NLCS MVP Marco Scutaro followed with a single up the middle. Sandoval then blistered a 2-0 Verlander pitch for his second homer and a 4-0 San Francisco lead.
Yet had Pagan's ball not bounced off third base, chances are Verlander would have been out of the inning. Or, as Verlander put it, the way the ball bounced was good for the Giants.
"And that was bad for us," he said.
But Pagan's double typifies the way the ball has been bouncing all postseason for San Francisco.
Remember when Cardinals pitcher Lance Lynn threw wildly to second base on a ball that went into center field in the fourth inning of a scoreless tie in Game 5? That opened the door for four unearned runs and the Giants won, 5-0, to send the NLCS back to San Francisco.
Or in the seventh and deciding game Monday, when Hunter Pence's third-inning broken-bat grounder spun past shortstop Pete Kozma into left field for three runs. The Giants scored five runs in that inning en route to their 9-0 romp.
Wonder what would have happened had baseball's higher forces not been in play?
On Wednesday night, left fielder Gregor Blanco saved at least two runs when he made sensational diving catches on Cabrera's sinking liner in the third and Prince Fielder's liner with Cabrera on first base in the sixth.
It didn't stop there.
A bizarre double play in the fourth took the Tigers out of a would-be productive inning.
Fielder opened with a single to center, but Delmon Young hit a ball that bounced in front of home plate. Catcher Buster Posey quickly fielded the ball, reached back and tagged Young before throwing to second base to complete the double play.
Toss in an RBI single by winning pitcher Barry Zito in the fourth and you have a vivid idea of how the ball has been bouncing this postseason for the Giants.
San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy probably summed it up best: "Well, you know, it's hard to figure this game sometimes. You hear the old adage, 'That's baseball.'"
For the Giants, it's an eerie brand of baseball that's making this postseason intriguing, if not unbelievable.

» View a video about this program
The Fire Science Technology program is designed to prepare students for an entry-level career as a firefighter for municipal, industrial, state, and federal
fire departments. The primary mission of the Fire Science Technology program is identification and mitigation of emergencies in order to preserve life and property.
The duties of the firefighter include, but are not limited to, extinguishing and controlling fires, performing rescue and evacuation work incidental to fire
control, accidents, natural disasters, and other incidents where human life is threatened. Firefighters also render emergency aid to those in need. The
responsibilities of fire prevention, inspection, and public relation programs aimed at reducing death and property loss are also undertaken.
Students who have completed the Spokane Regional Recruit Academy or equivalent may be eligible to receive up to 37 credits towards a fire science degree.
Firefighters who have completed 1,000 hours of paid work experience may be eligible to receive up to 18 credits of cooperative education.
Increasing demands for better private, municipal and governmental involvement in fire prevention and suppression fields, and the
implementation of more career fire departments in formerly volunteer-protected areas, will provide an increase in the demand for entry-
level firefighters.
Potential positions include: Firefighter, rescue worker, fire loss investigator, fire prevention technician, fire systems
technician, fire equipment operator, dispatcher.
Most firefighters will tell you that there isn't a better career in the world. They're constantly involved with people-responding to
emergency calls, visiting schools, teaching classes, hosting fire station "open houses," and attending training. Because they work
together as a team, firefighters develop camaraderie, friendships and a sense of family. Whenever there are emergencies-accidents, fires,
floods or other natural disasters-fire departments are the first called. Smaller stations and rural districts rely heavily on volunteers.
In fact, most of the 300,000 firefighters in Washington state are volunteers. Many rural fire districts have both community volunteers
and a paid staff which takes care of administrative duties as well as emergency response. Fire departments in cities and metropolitan
areas are staffed by full-time career firefighters who work in shifts.
Competition for full-time firefighting jobs is great. Many prospective applicants spend two to five years preparing themselves through
training, education, testing and volunteer firefighting experience. Anything you can do to better prepare, physically and mentally, is
part of the process.
The SCC fire science program is an advantage to those seeking positions as firefighters. The two-year program offers an overview of the
field as well as broad technical training. Graduates receive an associate in applied science (A.A.S.) degree in fire science, which is an
asset on any resume and helps open doors to job opportunities. For many, the program is a way of finding out if a firefighting career is
the right choice.
SCC offers two degree options: Fire Science Technology and Fire Officer. Both are two-year associate in applied
science (A.A.S.) degree programs.
The Fire Science Technology option prepares students for entry-level positions as firefighters for municipal, industrial, state and
federal fire departments. The Fire Officer program is designed for experienced firefighters who want to become
Both programs combine technical courses with general education courses which can transfer to four-year schools. These transfer courses
benefit individuals who may someday with to advance to the level of battalion chief or above and would benefit by pursuing a four-year
It gives students the basic skills to enter the field. Students learn to handle basic firefighting and rescue responsibilities. They
gain a thorough technical background and build a keen awareness of fire and safety problems.
This is designed for people already working in the field who want to become officers. These individuals have firefighting experience and
are familiar with how their organization works, but need to build on the global aspects of the field rather than the technical side. This
two-year program includes fire prevention, codes, supervision and leadership.
Graduates will compete for jobs with municipal fire departments such as in cities or fire districts which are located outside of cities.
In addition, there are private fire brigades in industries like Boeing and Kaiser. Airports and port authorities also have firefighting
Once hired, firefighters often can develop specialties in such areas as training, paramedicine, public education, or fire investigation.
These opportunities vary from department to department. Working or volunteering in a smaller department is a good way to build knowledge
and skills.
Related positions include rescue worker, fire loss investigator, fire systems technician and dispatcher.
Entry-level firefighting positions may start at $39,000 annually.
With experience, firefighters can earn as much as $60,000 annually.
Benefits are good in this field, usually including health insurance and retirement programs.
Please note that this degree is only open to those individuals who are already firefighters.
The Fire Officer program is designed to enhance the technical and general education of the volunteer and career firefighter. The program
builds on basic fire service information, which allows the firefighter to gain the knowledge and understanding of information required for
work at the officer level within the fire service. Students are given a good educational foundation, which is coupled with a broad spectrum
of technical information that will help them perform the duties of a fire officer within their jurisdictions. The degree is targeted to
current firefighters or fire officers.
For students interested in pursuing a bachelor's degree at WSU-Spokane, a special
articulation agreement is available for this program.
The Fire Officer program will prepare firefighter personnel for leadership positions.

Former SEC Commissioner Annette Nazareth, who's now a partner with Davis Polk & Wardwell in Washington, and her colleague Gabriel D. Rosenberg released in early January their list of 13 key regulatory predictions for this year.
The 2013 predictions, released in the Financial Times, follow the two attorneys' 2012 accurate and not-so-accurate predictions. For instance, last year the two accurately predicted an increase in court challenges to regulatory reform but "were wrong" in their view that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau would remain without a director. That position was filled by Richard Cordray.
With Cordray at the helm, both attorneys see the CFPB's profile "expanding significantly" in 2013.
But don't count on the new top regulators, like newly christened SEC Chairwoman Elisse Walter, who replaced outgoing Mary Schapiro, to make many policy shifts, Nazareth and Rosenberg predict.
Do, however, expect the Federal Reserve to become the "de facto supervisor" of most large broker-dealers, the two say.
1. New top regulators but few policy shifts
The aftermath of a presidential election typically brings major turnover at regulatory agencies, and this time will be no different. None of the replacements on the senior financial regulatory team in the second Obama administration will likely have policy priorities that differ much from their predecessors. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairwoman Mary Schapiro stepped down from her position last month and was immediately replaced by her close colleague, Elisse Walter. Commodity Futures Trading Commission chairman Gary Gensler has completed his term but may serve in his position until December 2013. Any successor to Secretary Tim Geithner, who is expected to leave this month, is unlikely to plough new ground and indeed may be less focused on financial regulation in general.
2. Regulators adopt final Volcker rule regulations…
In October 2011 regulators released a complex and controversial 298-page proposal to implement the statutory "Volcker Rule" restrictions on proprietary trading and relationships with hedge funds and private equity funds. There has been very little public movement since, even though the statutory Volcker Rule came into effect last July. However, behind the scenes, regulator discourse has been active and fruitful. We expect the result to be a final Volcker Rule in the first half of the year, largely consistent but with the potential for different treatment of different types of entities.
3. … but extend the conformance period for at least another year
Congress included in the statutory Volcker Rule a "conformance period" for institutions to come into compliance with it. This conformance period, originally expected to be at least two years, ends in July 2014. Given the delay in final regulations, we predict that the Federal Reserve will push the end of the conformance period until at least July 2015.
4. The SEC moves on key initiatives, including security-based swap rules
The SEC will make progress on a number of regulatory reform efforts. While the CFTC has finalized rules that meet 81% of its swap rulemaking requirements, the SEC has finalized 34% of its security-based swap rulemaking requirements.
5. Swap market structure begins to change
The CFTC's swap rules will largely come into force in 2013. The first swap dealers have already registered with the CFTC and most of the reporting, record-keeping and other requirements will phase in over the course of the year. This, coupled with the effectiveness of mandatory clearing and (likely) trade execution requirements, will significantly change how swap instruments are priced, traded, managed and used.
6. Regulators fix problems with swap pushout rule amid repeal efforts
The controversial swap pushout rule, championed by former Senator Blanche Lincoln, prohibits insured banks from engaging in certain types of swap transactions, forcing them to move the activity to affiliates. The rule becomes effective in 2013 without the need for implementing regulations. However, since the passage of Dodd-Frank, market participants have identified a number of technical problems with the rule. In the coming year, we expect that regulators will fix these problems through guidance, while efforts to repeal the rule will continue.
7. Regulators begin to assess comparability of foreign regimes
As foreign jurisdictions implement their own regulatory reforms, US regulators will begin to assess those regimes and determine the extent to which deference is appropriate. This will begin with derivatives, where the CFTC has proposed offering "substituted compliance" to foreign swap dealers where rules are comparable. These determinations will be highly politicized and will involve immense pressure from foreign governments and regulators.
8. Market participants begin to move business offshore
The hard line that US regulators have taken in implementing reform will push financial institutions to move business offshore. Where exactly that business goes remains an important question, which will be informed by the extent to which G20 regulatory regimes converge. Regulators throughout the world will face the difficult task of promoting systemic stability while ensuring that financial business does not regionalize or move offshore, both of which could result from rules that are too rigid or overlap.
9. Federal Reserve becomes de facto supervisor of most large broker-dealers
Last month, the Federal Reserve issued a controversial proposal related to its regulatory and supervisory oversight of "foreign banking organizations" doing business in the US. The Fed's proposal would mandate the creation of intermediate holding companies for foreign banking organizations, requiring that most activities in the US, including brokerage activities, be held under an intermediate holding company and be subject to the Fed's umbrella oversight.
10. US Basel III capital rules finalized but mitigated for community banks
Basel III capital reforms in the US are behind schedule, but we expect the rules to be finalized and to take effect largely as proposed, with the possible exception of improved treatment under some aspects of the proposed rules for community banks.
11. GSE Reform Waits Another Year
Comprehensive reform of government-sponsored entities – particularly Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – has been high on the agenda of regulatory reform advocates since the subprime mortgage crisis. This political hot potato will be passed another year, with talk but no real action.
12. Higher profile for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Skirting our prediction, President Obama used a rare recess appointment a year ago to install Richard Cordray as the first head of the CFPB. While the CFPB brought a few high-profile actions last year, we believe that its profile will expand significantly this year.
13. Further court challenges to regulatory rules
As regulators finalize rules implementing Dodd-Frank's provisions, the financial industry's fight has moved from the agencies to the courtroom. In September, the DC District Court overturned the CFTC's controversial position limits rule. The CFTC has promised to appeal. In December, the same Court dismissed the industry's suit regarding amendments to commodity pool operator registration requirements. With much at stake, perhaps including the Volcker Rule, the courtroom will remain a key regulatory reform battleground.

MONTREAL — Former premier Jean Charest made his first official public appearance since losing the Sept. 4 Quebec election to pay tribute to his former colleague Lawrence Bergman at the Jewish General Hospital (JGH).
The JGH presented the D'Arcy McGee MNA with its highest honour, the Distinguished Service Award, at its 78th annual general meeting.
President Rick Dubrovsky described Bergman as being a tireless supporter of the JGH ever since he was first elected in 1994.
In particular, Bergman was instrumental in obtaining government approval and funding for the major expansion the JGH is currently undergoing.
Last year, the government announced that it is contributing $300 million toward the largest ever addition to the JGH's patient-care facilities.
Construction continues on the new Pavilion K, a six-storey building that will house emergency and critical-care departments and more general-care beds, among other services. Altogether, the JGH is slated to grow by 40 per cent when work is completed, which is expected to be the end of 2014.
Charest affirmed that Bergman's intervention was key in persuading him and then-health minister Yves Bolduc and finance minister Raymond Bachand to give the project the green light.
"Those who have had the privilege of working with Lawrence know how determined he can be, how persistent," said Charest. "But he never raised his voice, he didn't need to. He was very persuasive."
Charest, who is expected to practise law in Montreal, said his government's investment in the JGH "represented the trust we had in him and your community," and recognition of the exceptional care provided at the JGH.
Charest said he is a JGH patient himself, quickly adding that he's in fine health.
He also noted that his father-in-law, Philippe Dion, who was a surgeon in Sherbrooke for many years, died at the JGH just over a year ago at age 90. Charest said the family is grateful for the compassion shown to him in his final days.
Also present was the Liberal interim leader Jean-Marc Fournier and National Assembly Speaker Jacques Chagnon. Charest joked that the evening was actually a Liberal party fundraiser.
Bergman said he was overwhelmed by the tribute and that he was proud to have helped the JGH, which he lauded for having been open to every Quebecer since the beginning.
"The JGH represents the finest values of the Jewish people, that of benevolence… Succeeding generations have maintained that tradition, and the JGH is an indelible part of the Montreal landscape," he said.
The JGH will have to get its finances in order.
Treasurer Gary Wechsler reported that the JGH spent $326.9 million in the current year, leaving it with a deficit of $24.7 million.
The provincial government requires the JGH to balance its budget within two years, Wechsler said, and a plan has been submitted, but no response has been received yet.
Executive director Hartley Stern said the expenditure overrun can partly be attributed to the JGH being "the victim of its own success."
He said the emergency department is being used by many people who do not live anywhere near the JGH. Polls show that they come there because they think they will get better treatment, he said.

Who's next? Rookies who could bust out in 2013
There were seven individual no-hitters and D-backs second baseman Aaron Hill's two cycles in 12 days, but perhaps nothing captured baseball's attention from coast to coast more than two of the most dynamic rookies the game has ever seen.
The offense of 20-year-old Angels center fielder Mike Trout and 19-year-old Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper's were impressive, their defense stunning and their impacts undeniable. Their rookie seasons set the stage for what many believe will become special careers.
They also make for a tough act to follow for this year's rookies.
By any measure, Trout and Harper were once-in-a-generation rookies. But that doesn't mean Major League Baseball's youth movement is a one-and-done deal.
The youngster with the potential to make the biggest impact this season was the cornerstone of one of the biggest offseason trades. Wil Myers, ranked No. 3 among MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects, was acquired by Tampa Bay from Kansas City last month. He has been lauded by many as the Minor League's best offensive prospect, having posted a .314/.387/.600 line with 37 home runs between Double-A and Triple-A last season.
Right-hander Jake Odorizzi, who went with Myers to the Rays in the trade, told Tampa Bay reporters to believe what's been said about the right-handed-hitting 22-year-old outfielder.
"Probably everything you've heard [about him] is pretty close to true," Odorizzi said. "I've played with him the past three years and he's incredible to watch. He's an exciting player, gap-to-gap power. He's a lot better defensively than most people make him out to be. ... He's got a strong arm, covers a lot of ground for a big guy and the hitting speaks for itself."
Although Myers' potential is tantalizing, he isn't considered the game's top overall prospect. That recognition, according to MLB.com, goes to Texas infielder Jurickson Profar.
Profar, who turns 20 in Spring Training, got a taste of the big leagues last season, playing in nine games. The natural shortstop is blocked at that position by Elvis Andrus, but incumbent second baseman Ian Kinsler could eventually shift to first base, clearing room for Profar.
The Rangers recently backed off that idea, after signing veteran Lance Berkman to be their designated hitter, but it's a move that nevertheless could be made.
Texas has another rookie, Mike Olt, who also could make an impact this year. The 24-year-old, MLB.com's No. 16 prospect, came up as a third baseman but because of Adrian Beltre, he is also blocked, at least for the time being. He could see time at first base, DH and the outfield corners.
In the National League, Travis d'Arnaud is baseball's top catching prospect (No. 11 overall) and will get a chance to take over behind the dish for the Mets, who acquired him from Toronto for reigning NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey.
Regardless of whether d'Arnaud makes the big club out of Spring Training, he's ready to make an impact whenever he gets the chance.
"I just try to focus on what I can control, just work hard and do as much as I can to become a better player each and every day," said d'Arnaud, who is approaching his 24th birthday and is with his third organization, having been traded by the Phillies in the Roy Halladay swap three years ago.
There are some other top prospects who could make this year's rookie class as exciting as that as of last year:
Trevor Bauer, MLB.com's No. 5 prospect, should benefit from his trade from Arizona to Cleveland. Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said the right-hander, who will turn 22 next week, "has some development left to do" and could open the season in the Minors.
Cardinals righty Shelby Miller (No. 19) appeared in six games for St. Louis last season and will compete with fellow youngsters Trevor Rosenthal (No. 60) and Joe Kelly for a rotation spot. Said manager Mike Matheny at the Winter Meetings: "The assignment we gave them going into this winter [was] show up to Spring Training ready to start and prove what you can do and have your arms built up to be ready to do that."
Braves righty Julio Teheran (No. 24) could open the season in Atlanta's rotation after appearing in two games, including one start, last season.
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said 2011 No. 1 overall Draft pick Gerrit Cole (No. 7) and righty Jameson Taillon (No. 15) will have a chance to compete for a rotation spot in Spring Training.
Zack Wheeler (No. 6) should join fellow young righty Matt Harvey in the Mets' rotation at some point this summer.
Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy (No. 2) likely will open the season in the Minors. But considering his quick ascent through the system last year, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 20-year-old in Baltimore at some point.

Issue Summaries
Welcome to our ever growing summary section. Utopian as it may sound, we intend to have every released X-issue summarized in this database one day. This section is not meant to replace comics - far from it - since no text adaptation can ever replace the unique medium that is a comic book, the blending of words AND art. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the UXN summaries cannot hope to compete with a 22+ page comic. Still, we hope that our Issue Summaries will be a valuable tool in your own personal research, as well as determining what issues to buy, both Current and Back Issues.
If you want to apply for becoming a summarizer (even those that you might have already submitted to other websites) or If you find any errors that need correcting, please get in touch!

Mutagenesis >
The Diversify PCR Random Mutagenesis Kit employs a nontoxic method for mutagenizing sequences of up to 4.0 kb in length. The kit broadly distributes all possible mutations without creating hot spots.
By allowing you to manipulate mutagenic conditions, the Diversify PCR Random Mutagenesis Kit provides optimal mutagenesis of sequences over an exceptionally broad size range. Select mutation rates from two to eight mutations per 1,000 bp simply by varying the amounts of two key reagents—manganese (Mn2+) and dGTP (1, 2).
The Diversify method utilizes Clontech's Titanium Taq PCR System to reliably amplify DNA fragments of up to 4.0 kb in length. This extended amplification range makes the Diversify Kit ideal for mutating operons, plasmids, and sequences corresponding to large proteins, in addition to short DNA fragments. The kit also contains a rapid control reaction that allows the relative comparison of mutation rates in the control fragment in just two hours following PCR.
The Diversify PCR Random Mutagenesis Kit includes the Titanium Taq Polymerase Mix and all of the reagents and buffers needed for mutagenesis.

What does JP mean?
- jp
- .jp is the Internet country code top-level domain for Japan. It is administered by the Japan Registry Service. At the establishment of the .jp domain the domain was administered by the JPNIC, as part of their role as an overseeing technical body for the Internet in Japan. However, due to the growing importance and size of the .jp registry, it was decided at the 11th General Meeting of JPNIC in December 2000 to create a new corporation that would manage the .jp domain. Thus, the Japan Registry Service was created, and on June 30, 2003, officially assumed the duties of the .jp registry. .jp registrations are only allowed if the registrant has a physical address in Japan. Registrations are processed via accredited registrars and domain names with Japanese characters may be registered at the second level.

Regardless, it should be a good game. Ordinarily, I'd be inclined to take Auburn I think based on the strength of the SEC. Something about playing there makes a team tough. But I like this Oregon team. I think they have a shot at getting off to hot start, and not looking back. So yeah, I guess I'm calling it Ducks in a high scoring affair.

The barbecues may have been out in force last weekend, but Easter Sunday threatens be a washout after forecasters warned that the current spell of warm, dry weather could come to an abrupt end.
Meteorologists said the balmy temperatures enjoyed by most of Britain over the past few days will continue this week before dipping on Good Friday.
Andy Ratcliffe, a weather forecaster at MeteoGroup, said: "It will be more unsettled than this weekend.
"This weekend we've had high pressure influence the weather across much of the UK, but it is looking like pressure will be lower through next weekend."
He said the high and low pressure systems coming into contact could result in heavy rainfall over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Bad weather at the end of the week could combine with a surge in Bank Holiday traffic.
Traffic information firm Trafficmaster predicts congestion on the roads will be significant on Friday and Saturday but peak on Thursday, which is predicted to be the busiest day on the roads so far this year.
Met Office forecaster Kirk Waite said: "There's quite a lot of low confidence for the Easter weekend. From Thursday onwards we're less confident. We're looking at things gradually becoming cloudier through Thursday, it might be a bit cooler.
"The question mark comes on Saturday.
"We're going to get high pressure in the north and east of the country. What this means is that we will have an area of lower pressure to the south and west. And the UK is going to be sat between the two.
"The lower pressure will have the wetter, cooler conditions.
"As we go into Sunday the threat of the things from the south-west increases."
The recent warm weather appears to have inspired gardeners to dust off their rakes.
Asda said overall sales of plants are up 74 per cent, with climbers proving to be particularly popular with shoppers, up 82 per cent compared to this time last year. Goldcrest conifers are also selling five times as well as 2013 and aromatic herbs and shrubs are also seeing a big demand.
