A.V. is a music-based Stealth-Puzzle game developed in the Unity engine. The game places the player in the role of a rogue music-processing algorithm from a computer's sound systems. From this role, the player can view the world only through the use of sound. When idle, the player views the game world as only a plain, black void. However, each sound in the game sends out a pulse of energy, illuminating a small portion of the world around that sound's source. (Or, in simpler terms, sound = light.) Through this mechanic, players can visualize their surroundings and learn to navigate through a strange, complex, and lively computer world while trying to avoid the anti-virus drones that serve a rather seriously distraught computer.
Aaru's Awakening is a 2d action platformer taking place in the world of Lumenox. The world of Lumenox is controlled by the four deities "Dawn", "Day", "Dusk" and "Night" that rule the world together in peace. The world is held together with transitions: Night covers the world with darkness and then Dawn returns light back into the world. Day then releases his grip to pass control to Dusk.
The game begins with Dawn sending Aaru on a quest to Nights domain to stop his plan of ruining the balance. To get to Night's domain, Aaru must travel through the Day and Dusk domains before reaching Night. By going out of his own environment and to other domains Aaru is taking a great risk of disturbing the balance of Lumenox. In each domain Aaru is faced with challenges which the player must complete.
The character Aaru can do basic movement such as run and jump but he also has two special abilities. For one he has a powerful "charge" which enables him to charge in any direction no matter what. I.e. if Aaru is falling he can "charge" to stop the fall and by that save himself. He can also break specific walls by charging into them. The second ability is teleporting. Aaru can shoot an orb anywhere he wants and afterwards the player can teleport Aaru to the orbs location.
With these two abilities the player needs to control Aaru and complete the levels within the domains.

Nursing as a Second Career
Laura Wisniewski RN, BS, CIC
From many backgrounds
There is no typical second career nurse. Matt was a paramedic, who attended a paramedic to RN transition program in the evening at the local community college. After being downsized for the second time in the banking industry, Donna turned to nursing for a more stable and rewarding career. Angela, a nursing assistant and single mother became a nurse to increase her earning potential. After the birth of her premature son, former teacher Susan spent three months interacting with the neonatal nurses and couldn't imagine doing anything else with her life. Deeply affected by the events of September 11th, Robert wanted more meaningful work; he quit his job as an insurance agent and is currently working as a critical care nurse.
Second career nurses bring a wide variety of skills and experience with them. With the opportunities that the nursing profession has to offer; there is more than enough room for qualified candidates of all ages. Employment skills such as critical thinking, emotional intelligence, customer service, manual dexterity, and computer skills easily transfer to the nursing profession.
How individuals utilize their experience is completely up to them. A former teacher or business manager could choose to directly apply their skills to an equivalent nursing position such as nurse educator or nurse manager. Those opting for a complete change in career direction will also find their previous life experiences a boost to their success.
Age is not a barrier
Competition for entry level positions in the general market place is fierce, making it even more difficult for the over thirty-five job seeker. In nursing, experience is considered an asset and often second career nurses advance more quickly than their younger counterparts. This is due in part to clarity of purpose that many mature adults have developed and the application of previously acquired skills.
Mid-life career change has become increasingly more common. Adults may choose to change careers for a variety of personal and financial reasons. Many are interested in exploring new fields and plan to delay retirement. The characteristic of life-long learning has become essential for survival in our ever changing knowledge-based society.

One of the "funnest" things you can run in parallel as a demo is the parallel mandelbrot set generator that comes in source with PVM (I think there is a similar toy available for MPI as well). You can rubberband your way down into the set and actually see bands of the new image being returned by the various nodes, which makes it easy and fun for folks to play with at the fair itself and also lends itself to the presentation. Another common demo is povray (the "Persistence Of Vision" Raytracer). There is a PVM version of it. At Linux Expo a year ago we distributed this across some 48 PII processors and it could render the image in something like one second. Again it works by chopping the image up into chunks and farming the chunks out to nodes, and then gluing them back together again in the final assembly. Both PVM and MPI come with some limited demo/benchmark codes included for testing purposes, and if you do a websearch you can probably find some other relatively interesting applets (like the Mandelbrot set toy) that use them and are good for demos. Seti or RC5 are good demonstrations of the power of distributed computation or clustering, but they are SO embarrassingly parallel that they really aren't that great a demonstration of beowulfery. Not that the mandelbrot set toy is really any better, but at least it uses PVM in a "real" master/slave sort of calculation rather than a script based distribution of truly independent chores. > As of right now, I am still working on getting enough > equipment for the project.

My only suggestion is to try to get moderately balanced equipment. Demonstrating parallel speedup works best when (for example) the mandelbrot set generator pops through all the strips in about the same time. If you have a much slower processor in the bunch, the strip it does will typically hang out long after the rest of the figure is complete which does illustrate an important feature of efficient parallel programming, but not exactly the way you want to illustrate it...;-) Note that if your school has a computer classroom with (say) a bunch of more or less identical pentium-class systems on a switched network (or even a hub) you can convert it into your beowulf WITHOUT ANY MONEY AND WITHOUT TOUCHING THEIR DISKS by using the new Scyld beowulf distribution. Well, you'll have to buy a set of the Scyld CD's, but at $2 each this is about the right level of personal investment for a science fair project. You'll probably also want/need the use of a single machines WITH a disk you can write to (which could be a laptop or your own personal system) to bring in preconfigured as a Scyld "master" node. That way you can set the demos up on it and test them, and can then literally assemble the beowulf in real time the day of the fair -- assuming that the fair is held at your school and that you can set up signs directing the judges and guests to the computer room. The most you might need to do in this case is beg, borrow or buy an ethernet switch for the classroom systems, which are unfortunately most likely on a hub. Buy will cost you around $100 (for 5-8 ports), and you can keep it and use it to set up your HOME beowulf (just like mine:-). Beg involves groveling in front of the store manager of a store that sells them, convincing him or her that perhaps you or your school will end up buying one after they see how it enables some real "computer science" to be done in their computer lab. Borrow involves finding somebody on this list "nearby" with a switch they can loan you for a day or two.

I don't know if the above helps at all, but I >>do<< know that Don Becker, Erik Hendriks, and the rest of the Scyld gang turned a bunch of systems (the public "email cluster") they had never seen before into a beowulf in about 30 minutes of work at the Atlanta Linux Showcase and Conference using the Scyld beowulf CD's, and that when they were done they simply removed the CD's and rebooted the systems and poof! they were an email cluster again. Didn't touch their hard drives. Heck, Scyld might even be willing to DONATE a handful of CD's to your project if $2/CD is too much for you -- I can think of no better demonstration of the power of their tool than a student converting a school cluster -- nondestructively -- into a beowulf for a science fair project. What a coup for them, for beowulfery, and for Linux in general! It might even convince your school's computer person to consider making linux a part of the school's regular computer curriculum!

It's been a long time coming, but PlayStation 3 players will finally get to play all of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim downloadable content that had only been available on the Xbox 360.
A post on the Bethesda Blog proclaims the good gaming news and says that the Dragonborn, Dawnguard, and Hearthfire DLCs, as well as the 1.8 title update, have been cleared with SCEA.
The North American release dates for the Skyrim DLC packs are as follows:
- Dragonborn - Tuesday, February 12th, 2013.
- Hearthfire - Tuesday, February 19th, 2013.
- Dawnguard - Tuesday, February 26th, 2013.
All of these packs will be available for half off during the first week of their release, so PlayStation players would do well to snatch them up as soon as they are available. They're not being released in the same order their Xbox 360 counterparts, but at least they're finally coming to the PS3.
Let us know if you still have your copy of Skyrim and are ready to play all of the new add-on content. Or, if you don't have a copy, if the promise of more content is enough to get you to buy the game.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel was furious on Sunday after 110 out of 120 of Jordanian parliamentarians signed a petition demanding the release of a Jordanian soldier who in 1997 killed and wounded 13 Israeli schoolgirls.
The soldier, Corporal Ahmed Daqamseh, carried out his brutal attack on what is known as the "Peace Island," a small outcrop in the Jordan River that was set up to mark the peace treaty between Israel and neighboring Jordan. Prior to the attack Israeli school children regularly took field trips to the site, which is just inside Jordanian territory.
Daqamseh unloaded two magazines of bullets into the group of 80 Israeli children, killing seven and wounding another six before finally being overpowered by fellow Jordanian soldiers.
Years later, Daqamseh told Jordanian media that he was proud of what he had done. His lawyer at the time was Hussein Mjali, who today is Jordan's Justice Minister. A couple of years ago, Mjali described his former client as "a hero" for having murdered little girls in cold blood.
Mjali went on to echo one of the gross misconceptions that Arabs have of their Jewish neighbors thanks to a propaganda-based education. "If a Jew murdered Arabs, they [the Israelis] would build him a statue," the minister declared. Of course, anyone even a little bit familiar with Israel knows that is false. The perpetrators of the rare Jewish terrorist attacks against Arabs are reviled by Israeli society.
The ongoing saga surrounding Daqamseh is instructive for those wondering why it is so difficult to reach a genuine and long-lasting peace in the region.
Jordan is arguably Israel's most friendly neighbor, and one of the most moderate of Arab nations. And still, an overwhelming majority of its lawmakers can still feel pride in a soldier who mercilessly butchered Jewish children. Without question, there are those in Jordan who do truly wish to live in peace with Israel. Following the Daqamseh's attack, Jordan's late King Hussein bravely traveled to Israel to personally apologize and convey his condolences to the grieving families.
The problem is that while certain Arab figures might want peace with Israel, they and the governments they are part of are failing to educate the rest of the population to see things similarly.
Israel can make peace with leaders like King Hussein and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas all day long. But if the people they represent continue to carry a violent hatred for Israel's Jews, there can be no true peace.

text: The word "plumber" dates from the Roman Empire.[3] The Latin for lead is plumbum. Roman roofs used lead in conduits and drain pipes[4] and some were also covered with lead, lead was also used for piping and for making baths.[5] In medieval times anyone who worked with lead was referred to as a plumber as can be seen from an extract of workmen fixing a roof in Westminster Palace and were referred to as plumbers "To Gilbert de Westminster, plumber, working about the roof of the pantry of the little hall, covering it with lead, and about various defects in the roof of the little hall".[6] Thus a person with expertise in working with lead was first known as a Plumbarius which was later shortened to plumber.

Some top real estate consultants have forecast that banks will flood the nationwide market with foreclosed homes later this year, driving down prices in the process, but the picture in Orange County may not be so clear.
Orange County prices in certain areas, particularly at the higher end, have lower rates of foreclosures, and banks are less likely to release their inventory all at once, local experts say.
That means it may not make sense to sell in anticipation of a flooded market that may or may not materialize.
Esmael Adibi, director of the Gary Anderson Center for Economic Analysis at Chapman University, said there are about 17,000 homes listed for sale countywide. In addition to that, 5,000 homes were foreclosed on by lenders.
But he doesn't expect banks to release the inventory all at once.
"If 5,000 units show up in the marketplace at one time, it will put a downward pressure on the prices," he said. "I do not believe that the financial institutions see this as a wise move — to bring the entire inventory to the marketplace in a month or two."
Steven Thomas, president of Altera Real Estate in Newport Beach, said he agrees with Adibi.
"There will not be a surge in foreclosure activity, as the banks are not in a hurry to foreclose on America," he said.
High-end sections of Orange County may not have as many foreclosures because of high home prices, said Leslie Appleton-Young, chief economist at the California Assn. of Realtors.
"It really depends on what type of bracket you're looking at," she said. "The bulk of foreclosure (activity) has been in the moderate- to low-end priced part of the market."
Wealthier owners are sometimes — but not always — more insulated from economic turns. There have, of course, been high-profile foreclosures in Newport Beach, but the bulk of the problems appear to be at lower price points than one of the nation's most expensive markets.
The number of foreclosed homes in Orange County might greatly differ from the numbers in another county or state because home prices in the county tend to be in the moderate- to the high-end bracket. Prices in coastal Orange County tend to be higher, and potentially less vulnerable to foreclosure than in some interior communities.
"When you're looking at Orange County, you have to be very, very careful," Appleton-Young said. "It's very difficult to generalize about a county as a whole. You need to look behind the numbers."
Generally speaking, homeowners should only sell if they have to, Adibi said, adding that when people buy homes they plan to live in they should not only look at them as investments.
Homeowners should first weigh their options and the circumstances they are dealing with, he said.
"If somebody is out of their job, if they can't afford the monthly payment, then yes, they maybe have to sell," Adibi said. "If they do not have the urgency, then there's no rush to sell."
Thomas said when interest rates rise, and they are likely to rise in the next few years, buyers will lose purchasing power.
And therefore, this could be the best time to buy, not sell.
"People are taking interest rates for granted," he said. "It's a great time to buy."

The International Narcotics Control Board made its appeal in an annual drug report. It called on the U.S. government to act to "ensure full compliance with the international drug control treaties on its entire territory."
"The entire international system is based on countries respecting the rules, and there's a broad fabric of international treaties that are part and parcel to that," added David Johnson, U.S. delegate to the Vienna-based board.
Last fall, Washington and Colorado became the first states to pass laws legalizing marijuana. Pot remains illegal under federal law.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said last week he was in the last stages of reviewing the Colorado and Washington state laws. He was examining policy options and international implications of the issue.
The federal government could sue the states over legalization or decide not to mount a court challenge.
The International Narcotics Control Board is the independent monitoring body for the implementation of United Nations drug control conventions. Its head, Raymond Yans, called on Holder to challenge the state laws soon after voters approved the measures.
In Amsterdam, where marijuana sold openly in coffee shops has been a tourist draw, officials have cracked down on growers in recent years, earning praise from the control board.
Brian Vicente, co-author of the Colorado pot legalization law, said a handful of North American countries have expressed support for legalization. He will head to Uruguay next week to talk about pot.
"The United States has been the main driver on this global war on drugs and they've seen significant shifts in their own ranks," Vicente said. "You have two states revolting and they're saying it doesn't work in their state and their community and it sends a strong message globally."
Kasia Malinowska-Sempruch, director of the Open Society Foundations' Global Drug Policy Program, blamed repressive drug laws for millions of arrests and called on the United Nations General Assembly to reconsider its approach when it holds a special session on drugs in 2016.
The U.N. report also cited prescription drug abuse as a continuing problem as well as the emergence of designer drugs engineered to avoid existing drug controls.

Led Team In Batting, Hits
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Jennifer Ong, who led the Yale softball team with a .351 batting average and 54 hits, has been named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Northeast Region first team.
Ong, who started 46 games at second base, finished second in the Ivy League with 54 hits. She also was fifth in average (.351) and sixth in on base percentage (.409). Ong, who just completed her junior year at Yale, ended the season with a 14-game hitting streak.
The last Yale player to earn all-region recognition was Katie Edwards in 2009.
The all-region teams were chosen by NFCA member coaches from each region, and all the honorees will now be eligible for selection to one of three 2012 NFCA Division I All-American teams.
A total of 263 players representing 129 different institutions comprise this season's regional teams, including first and second teams for each region.
The 2012 NFCA Division I All-America teams will be announced at 4 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, May 30, on NFCA.org.

* Recommendations include improving electrical grid
* Access to U.S. projections of sea level rise
* Fuel supply chain needs protection
By Noreen O'Donnell
NEW YORK, Aug 19 (Reuters) - A U.S. task force on rebuilding
after Superstorm Sandy listed dozens of recommendations on
Monday to help protect communities from rising sea levels and
increasingly intense storms.
Among the 69 proposals included in its report, the Hurricane
Sandy Rebuilding Task Force suggested improvements to the
electrical grid and communication systems so they are less
likely to fail in a storm and urged that the fuel supply chain
be protected.
It recommended that governments and residents be given the
best scientific data available on current and future risks,
including a Web-based tool that uses federal agency information
to project how high sea levels will rise, up to 100 years in the
"More than ever, it is critical that when we build for the
future, we do so in a way that makes communities more resilient
to emerging challenges such as rising sea levels, extreme heat
and more frequent and intense storms," the report said.
It was released at a joint press conference by the task
force chairman, U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
Shaun Donovan, and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
President Barack Obama created the task force in December,
months after the October 2012 storm devastated New York, New
Jersey and other parts of the East Coast. Sandy killed at least
159 people, and damaged or destroyed more than 650,000 homes,
leading to private insurance claims of $19 billion.
It knocked out subways, roads and bridges, and more than 9
million people lost power. In all, at least $30 billion to $50
billion in economic activity was lost.
"And we all remember the gas lines and generators sitting
idle due to a lack of fuel, bringing the region and the economy
to a standstill," Donovan said.
The task force found that a major focus should be protecting
critical infrastructure.
Every dollar spent on hazard mitigation would save the
country at least $4 if another disaster struck, Donovan said.
The U.S. Congress in January approved an emergency aid
package of about $50 billion for areas devastated by the October
2012 superstorm. The Federal Emergency Management Agency alone
has provided more than $12 billion in assistance, Donovan said.
More assistance will be announced in coming weeks through
federal Community Development Block Grants, he said.
"We are not just focused on speeding relief to families and
communities," Donovan said. "We're also focused on protecting
communities from the risks of a changing climate."
A competition called "Rebuild by Design," in which teams of
architects and engineers address the risks, could deliver
innovative ideas for rebuilding in the region, the report said.
Other recommendations include:
- Helping victims stay in their homes by allowing quick
emergency repairs.
- Providing consistent guidance on remediating indoor
pollutants such as mold.
- Reforming the National Flood Insurance Program so that
homeowners are not priced out of their homes.
- Making it easier for small businesses to access federal
contracts for rebuilding.

What do Alfred Morris, Brandon Marshall, Richard Sherman and Jared Allen have in common?
All four have made the Pro Bowl -- and all four were drafted in the fourth round or later.
Yes, while the first few rounds of the NFL draft are still your best bet when it comes to finding elite talent, there are almost always hidden gems among the prospects picked later on. Morris (Round 6, 2012), Marshall (Round 4, 2006), Sherman (Round 5, 2011) and Allen (Round 4, 2004) are among a group of top-notch players who have emerged from the bottom portion of the draft over the years -- a group that also includes Geno Atkins (Round 4, 2010), Pierre Garcon (Round 6, 2008), Marques Colston (Round 7, 2006) and, perhaps most famously, Tom Brady (Round 6, 2000).
With OTAs in full swing, it's worth remembering that, somewhere among the crop of rising rookies taking the field, there are a handful of late draft picks poised to emerge as impact players. Here, presented in alphabetical order, are 11 guys drafted on Day 3 who have a good chance to make their presence felt this season, plus nine bonus players to consider (click on players' names for more info):
Alfred Blue, RB, Houston Texans
Draft position: Round 6, No. 181 overall
Though Blue will be fighting for time as part of a position group that also includes Arian Foster and Andre Brown, he's exactly the kind of big, strong, quick running back that coach Bill O'Brien loves. He's got everything needed to be a successful ball-carrier, including good hands. Checking in at 6-foot-2 3/8 and 223 pounds, Blue cuts an imposing figure on the field. He did miss time after tearing his ACL early in the 2012 season; between that and the fact that LSU rotates backs, Blue did not get a ton of carries or starts at the college level. Still, he did gain 6 yards per attempt.
Martavis Bryant, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
Draft position: Round 4, No. 118
Bryant is a developmental project, but he possesses unbelievable ability, averaging 22.2 yards per catch in three years at Clemson. He simply has too much size (6-4, 211 pounds) and speed (4.42-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine) to not pose a problem for opposing defenders. Bryant will do a good job catching the back-shoulder fade and winning 50-50 balls; he should be a big-time red-zone threat.
Bruce Ellington, WR, San Francisco 49ers
Draft position: Round 4, No. 106
Ellington -- cousin of Andre Ellington, a 2013 sixth-rounder who burst onto the scene as a rookie running back with the Arizona Cardinals -- is a speedy, quick and explosive player with tons of upside. A two-sport star, he spent just three of his four years at South Carolina playing football. (He skipped the 2010 football season while serving as a starting point guard for the Gamecocks' basketball team.) The more experience he gains, the better he'll be. He's athletic -- posting a 3.95-second short shuttle, a 6.69-second three-cone drill and a 39.5-inch vertical jump at the combine -- and can return kicks.
Shaq Evans, WR, New York Jets
Draft position: Round 4, No. 115
The Jets need receivers, and Evans is a talented one. He's also fast. He ran the first 10 yards of the 40-yard dash at the combine in 1.47 seconds -- that's truly flying. Evans, who racked up 107 catches in his last two years at UCLA, will catch the crossing routes. He's strong and has good size, with a body build that is reminiscent of Michael Irvin. Like many young receivers, Evans is just an average blocker.
Devonta Freeman, RB, Atlanta Falcons
Draft position: Round 4, No. 103
Freeman is not very tall (5-8) and I doubt that he can be an every-down back, but he does have very good lower-body strength, with a build that is similar to that of San Francisco's Frank Gore. Freeman will protect the passer and can catch the ball with ease. He's a very good competitor who will initially back up Steven Jackson, though I think he'll get plenty of carries, as he's a better player than fellow Falcons backup Jacquizz Rodgers. Last year, he became the first Florida State player to top 1,000 yards rushing since former Falcon Warrick Dunn did it in 1996.
DaQuan Jones, DT, Tennessee Titans
Draft position: Round 4, No. 112
Jones is an interesting player. After arriving at Penn State as an offensive lineman, he switched to defense and went on to become a disruptive force. He has a big body and good athletic ability for his size, though he lacks stamina. He could prove to be a great value for the Titans; as of last October, I had him ranked quite high. It's not often that you find a defensive starter in the fourth round, but Jones should become exactly that for Tennessee by the midpoint of the season.
Tom Savage, QB, Houston Texans
Draft position: Round 4, No. 135
Savage sat out 2011 (after transferring to Arizona from Rutgers) and 2012 (after transferring to Pittsburgh from Arizona), and thus was rusty in the early part of last season. Still, he showed outstanding improvement in the second half. He has the ideal size (6-4, 228) for the position and excellent arm strength. What he lacks in athleticism he makes up for with intangibles, including smarts, decision-making and leadership qualities. If he'd gotten on the field more frequently in college, I suspect he'd have been drafted higher. I think he'll outperform veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick and the rest of the quarterbacks in Houston. In fact, it would not surprise me to see Savage become the starter at some point this season, if not in Week 1.
Lache Seastrunk, RB, Washington Redskins
Draft position: Round 6, No. 186
Morris will, of course, be ahead of Seastrunk on the depth chart, but we know new Redskins coach Jay Gruden likes to alternate running backs -- consider how Gruden, as the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive coordinator, worked youngster Giovani Bernard into the mix with veteran BenJarvus Green-Ellis last year. Seastrunk's 41.5-inch vertical and 11-foot-2 broad jump are proof of his athletic ability. He did not catch many passes in college -- that's just not Baylor's style of offense -- but he does have above-average running skills. Seastrunk can make the first tackler miss.
De'Anthony Thomas, RB, Kansas City Chiefs
Draft position: Round 4, No. 124
Thomas projects as a potential replacement for do-everything threat Dexter McCluster, who left for the Titans this offseason via free agency. The Oregon product is one of those smaller guys who darts around the field -- he'll be a crowd favorite. Thomas should really be a mismatch for opposing defenses when the Chiefs get him out in a receiving position. The former college track athlete will be a situational weapon, a spot player, but Kansas City will figure out a way to use him. He's also an asset in the return game; Thomas is the Ducks' all-time leader in career kickoff return yards (1,885) and punt return average (17.1).
Brock Vereen, FS, Chicago Bears
Draft position: Round 4, No. 131
The Bears need safety help, and Vereen has the potential to be the answer for them. He's a very good athlete with speed and strength who started at both safety and corner for the University of Minnesota in 2013. Vereen is a hard worker and smart player who should start this season. At the least, he'll be a special teams presence. Football runs in the family: Brock's brother is New England Patriots running back Shane Vereen, while their father, Henry, played in the CFL.
Andre Williams, RB, New York Giants
Draft position: Round 4, No. 113
The Giants love to run, and they should be able to find work for Williams, who, in addition to being a very strong runner with good balance and quickness, will be useful in pass protection as a blocker. He had an outstanding senior year at Boston College, compiling the most rushing yards in the country (2,177). Williams is not a great receiver, but he is very smart and has excellent vision.

I found this interesting Hotch biography on IMDb. Enjoy!
FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit Supervisory Special Agent/Unit Chief Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner is played द्वारा Thomas Gibson.
Hotchner is the head of the BAU team. Hotchner was a prosecutor for a time, although it is not stated specifically where, his experience in prosecution helps his team to craft tight cases, it also allows him to judge when (and how) it may be necessary to स्कर्ट the law to successfully capture and prosecute an UNSUB (unknown subject). He is often referred to as a drill sergeant he very rarely smiles...
Here's a review of Hotch's Quotes!
"Nothing is so common as the wish to be remarkable."
(attributed to) William Shakespeare
The Tribe:
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed द्वारा the tribe."
Friedrich Nietzsche
A Real Rain:
"I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary. The evil it does is permanent."
For all the Hotch-addicts (me, me, me!!!) here's a biography of our favourite Unit Chief! Hope आप enjoy it.
Character Name: Aaron Hotchner
Profession: Unit Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI in Quantico, Virginia.
"Nobody looks as clean as Thomas Gibson in a suit." - Shemar Moore, Behind the Scenes.
Aaron Hotchner is rather tall at 6'2", with a slender but muscular physique that is maintained through daily workouts and the physical stress of his job. He has impeccable composure only earned through...
This is a One shoot Hotch Fanfic for Minimal loss.
It was written द्वारा mablereid @ fanfiction.net.
Enjoy! :)
The heavy metal door swung shut behind him with a thud as he walked down the concrete steps. He pushed through another door at the end of the hallway, and reached for the light switch to his left. The light flared on, illuminating the room with a bright yellow glow from fixtures spaced at even intervals along the ceiling. The floor was plain concrete, and there were opened ended cubicles spaced out along the right side of the room.

If you have an Ajax function in your web page, and it does not download the text you expected, can you solve the problem by clicking the Reload (Refresh) button on your browser? If yes, under what conditions does this work? If no, why not?
If there were a problem with the server, would it send an error message? If yes, does the error message come in place of the text you were expecting or there is some Ajax object method that handles this? If no, why not? If the server is dead, does the TCP/IP protocols send an error message? If yes, how do you handle it? If no, why not?
I answer all of these questions in this article.
An Ajax Function without Error Checking
This is a procedure for an Ajax request that does not have any error checking code:
//variable to finally hold the Ajax downloaded text.
pageDoc = "";
var xmlHttp;
// Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
catch (e)
// Internet Explorer
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
catch (e)
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
catch (e)
alert("Your browser does not support AJAX!");
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4)
pageDoc = xmlHttp.responseText;
The statement after that defines a method for the Ajax object. This method is called each time the state of the Ajax object changes. The final change of state occurs when the readyState is 4. When the readyState is 4, the method of the Ajax object defined is executed. At this point the text has been downloaded completely and is ready for use at the browser.
The statement (xmlHttp.open()) that follows opens the connection for the request to be made. The statement after that makes the request. When all of the text has been downloaded, the readyState property becomes 4 and executes the defined object.
Clicking the Reload Button
This is the rule for any web page, including that with an Ajax function like the one above. When a web page is being displayed or after it has been displayed, and you realize that all of the HTML elements (recourses) have not been downloaded, you should click the Reload (Reload) button on the browser. When you do this, then all of the HTML elements (recourses) should be re-downloaded from the server. Solving an error problem like this works when there is an accident (temporary error) in the server or transmission line.
Note: this works as long as the erroneous downloaded Ajax content is not cached by the browser. Many browsers will cache the Ajax downloaded text (content) by default; so, when you click Reload button, the downloaded Ajax text is taken from the browser cache. It is possible for you to make your downloaded Ajax content not be cached. You do this at the script at the server. That is, you do this at the script at the server that sends the Ajax text (content). PHP, the computer script language, has a good way of doing this. However, we shall not discuss that here.
As I said above, clicking the Reload button on the browser to solve a download error Ajax problem should work when the problem was actually an accident from the server or from the line.
{mospagebreak title=Server or Transmission Line is not functioning}
I can only give you my experience here. If the server or the transmission lines stop functioning after the user sees his web page on the screen, no Ajax text or error message will be downloaded. Nothing would come in place of the Ajax text. Now, what I have said here is my experience.
Server script does not function
It is possible for you to write a script that does not function at the server. I am talking here about the script that has to send the Ajax text from the server to the client. If the script is not functioning, and everything else is functioning, you will definitely not have the downloaded Ajax text. However, the server may send an error message in place of the Ajax text. The user would then see the error message instead of the Ajax text. The best way to avoid this is to make sure that your script does not have errors.
The readyState property of the JavaScript Ajax object
The "readyState" property keeps track of the current stage of the request by returning an integer. The readyState property of the JavaScript Ajax object can have the value 1, or 2, or 3, or 4. The meanings of these values are as follows:
0: uninitialized
1: loading
2: loaded
3: interactive
4: complete
The value to always use is the last one, which indicates that the download has been completed. See the illustration in the Ajax code above. The question is, "can any of these values be used to check errors?" The answer is no. You cannot use any of these values to determine whether an error has occurred. You can use these values just to check which stage the response of the request has reached.
{mospagebreak title=HTTP Status}
When you are working with HTTP servers you should expect the HTTP errors or status information given below. These errors/status messages can occur when the transmission line and the server are okay.
This means the request has succeeded. The client's request was successfully received, understood, and accepted.
404: Not Found
This means the server has not found anything matching the Request- URL.
I have just mentioned two messages here; there are many others. This is just a short list:
200: "Ok"
301: "Moved Permanently"
304: "Not Modified" (page hasn't been modified)
404: "Not Found"
403: "Forbidden"
401: "Unauthorized" (wrong password)
These messages are sent by the server. The Ajax object has two properties to indicate these error/status conditions. The properties are the status and the statusText properties. The status property holds a number. For example, if the request was successful, the status property will hold the number 200; if it did not find the item (i.e. if the request failed), it will hold the number 404.
The statusText properties holds the only the text corresponding to a number. For example, if the request was successful, the statusText property will hold the text "OK"; if it did not find the item (i.e. if the request failed), it will hold the text "Not Found."
You can use either of these two properties to check error or status conditions. Remember that this is applicable when the transmission line and the server are all right. Note: most of the time they are all right; so it is these HTTP status messages that always indicate errors. If your script does not function, it will also indicate that.
The most important HTTP status code is 200: "Ok." This indicates that the request was accepted by the server. The number is indicated by the Ajax object status property, while the text, "OK," is indicated by the Ajax object statusText property. The following code segment shows how to use the status number 200 for error checking.
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4)
if (xmlHttp.status == 200)
pageDoc = xmlHttp.responseText;
//report error – to the client.
This code segment is the modified version of the onreadystatechange method of the Ajax object. Before I explain the code, let me first make the distinction between the readyState being equal to 4 and the status being equal to 200. When the readyState property is equal to 4, it means that the transaction is complete; that is, something has been downloaded. However, what has been downloaded may not be the Ajax text you were expecting. It may be an error message from the server (in the form of an HTML document) if your script was not functioning (had bugs); I mentioned this above.
When the status property is equal to 200, it means that the server received your request successfully, understood, and accepted it; it does not mean that the server has sent to the client, what the client requested. On the other hand, when the readyState property is equal to 4 it means that the client has received something, but not necessarily what you requested.
You need both properties to be sure that you have downloaded what you wanted, as I explain below with the code segment above.
Inside the definition of the onreadystatechange method above, you have an if-statement. This statement checks to see if the readyState is 4. If it is, it means that something has been downloaded to the client computer. In order to be sure that what is downloaded is what we wanted, we have to test to see if the status is 200. If it is 200, then we received what we wanted, so we go on to do what we want to do with the downloaded text; if it is not 200, then we issue an error message.
Now, you may make this comment: the status number 200 means that the server received your request successfully, understood, and accepted it; this does not mean that the server sent anything back to the client. How can we be sure that the client (you) received what he wanted? This is a sensible question. However, what you should know is that, almost all the time, when the server receives the request, understands and accepts it, the client receives the correct reply (text). I will not explain the details of that in this article.
So, the above code segment is the minimum you should have in your Ajax procedure.
{mospagebreak title=Thread effect of Ajax Request}
An Ajax request behaves like a JavaScript thread. While the request is going on, execution of the JavaScript code in the flow of the code carries on, below the statement of the Ajax request. You may want the statements below the Ajax request to use the result (downloaded text) of the Ajax request. The problem is, you may never know when the request will be complete (when the text is completely downloaded). By the time the request is complete, the statements below the request statement would have been executed (without the downloaded text).
If it is possible for you to use the Ajax result (downloaded text) in the onreadystatechange method of the Ajax text, to do so. This is the best way to avoid the conflict.
If you really must use the Ajax result in the statements below that of the Ajax request, then you should have a while-loop below the Ajax request that will be looping and checking to see if the text has been downloaded, before execution of the statements below the Ajax request continues. The xmlHttp.onreadystatechange method should have a statement to indicate to the while-loop if the required result has been received.
Response is taking longer than it should
Here I show you haw to handle the situation when the response is taking longer than it should. The thing to do here is to abort the Ajax request when you believe it has taken too long. You will need to determine, however, how long is too long.
The Ajax object has the method called abort(). This function is used to abort the Ajax request. When the request is aborted, the readyState property is reset to zero and nothing is downloaded; you do not need to worry about the readyState or status properties. The following code segment, typed below the Ajax procedure, aborts the Ajax request after five seconds:
function abortAjax()
setTimeout("abortAjax()", 5000);
It is not possible to give a clear-cut answer to any of the questions asked in the introduction of the article. There are conditions under which, if you click the Reload button, you will get what you want. There are also conditions when this will not be helpful. Always have the readyState and status property. This will clarify many problems. Do not forget the thread effect of the Ajax request. I showed you in the last section above how to avoid possible conflict.
