MIAMI — Nick Green drove in the winning run with a sacrifice fly and the Miami Marlins rallied for two runs in the 15th inning to beat the Mets 4-3 on Monday night, handing New York its fifth consecutive loss.
MIAMI — Nick Green hit a game-winning sacrifice fly and the Miami Marlins rallied for two runs in the 15th inning to beat the Mets 4-3 on Monday night, handing New York its fifth consecutive loss.
Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton limped out of the game in the 10th inning with a strained right hamstring. He hit a tapper in front of the plate and clutched his leg just before crossing first base, then fell face-first to the turf.
Miami trailed 3-2 when Greg Dobbs singled with one out in the 15th against Shaun Marcum (0-2), a starter working out of the bullpen after the Mets ran out of relievers. Justin Ruggiano walked and Rob Brantly hit an RBI single to right, with Dobbs barely beating the throw home.
Green followed with fly ball to left field, and Ruggiano scored easily from third. Green also tied the game with a sac fly in the ninth.
The Mets went 1 for 18 with runners in scoring position. The lone hit was Ruben Tejada's infield single to score the tiebreaking run with two outs in the 15th.
New York's other runs were driven in by John Buck, who tied a team record with his ninth home run in April.
The Marlins, last in the majors in runs, went 2 for 13 with runners in scoring position and grounded into five double plays.
Lucas Duda doubled with one out in the 15th against Jon Rauch. Following a groundout, Ike Davis was intentionally walked, and both runners advanced on a wild pitch.
That left first base open with the pitcher on deck, but Marlins manager Mike Redmond decided to pitch to Tejada. He hit a grounder into the hole at shortstop and easily beat the throw as Duda came home.
Rauch (1-2) gave up one run in three innings.
New York closer Bobby Parnell was hurt by a defensive lapse and blew a save by allowing a run in the ninth, which prevented Matt Harvey from improving to 5-0.
The game lasted 5 hours, 31 minutes. By the end, the crowd of 15,605 had dwindled into the hundreds.
Buck, playing in Miami for the first time since being traded by the Marlins after last season, hit a long two-run homer in the fourth off Jose Fernandez.
Harvey, who went only 5 1-3 innings, gave up one run and a season-high seven hits. He threw a career-high 121 pitches, the last of which was a 96 mph fastball.
With the Marlins trailing 2-1, Ruggiano led off the ninth with a double against Parnell. Center fielder Collin Cowgill, a ninth-inning replacement, misplayed a shallow fly hit by Brantly and let it drop for a single that advanced Ruggiano to third.
Green followed with a sacrifice fly to tie the game. Parnell blew a save for the second time in four chances.
In a matchup of talented young right-handers, Fernandez had an early lead but needed 81 pitches to get through four innings and departed trailing 2-1. Miami has scored 13 runs in his five starts.
Buck tied the Mets record for home runs in April held by Dave Kingman (1976) and Carlos Delgado (2006). Buck has 25 RBIs and needs one more to match the team record for April.
The Mets, who sorely missed David Wright's bat, have scored only 10 runs in the past five games.
Wright, bothered by a stiff neck, was held out of the starting lineup for the first time this year. He pinch-hit in the 13th and was called out on strikes to end the inning.
Daniel Murphy, who moved into Wright's No. 3 spot in the order, singled in the 12th to end an 0-for-17 slump.
Buck put the Mets ahead in the fourth by launching a 95 mph fastball into the Marlins' home run sculpture. Buck hit only 12 homers with a .192 average last year for the Marlins and was part of their offseason payroll purge.
Harvey struck out seven and cooled off Stanton, who went 0 for 5 after hitting three home runs last weekend.
Miami scored the game's first run in the third. Juan Pierre singled, went to third on a single by Donovan Solano and scored when Stanton grounded into a double play.
NOTES: Marlins first baseman-outfielder Logan Morrison will lead a campaign encouraging youngsters to carry out their own charitable projects. ... Mets reliever Frank Francisco (elbow) threw 15 pitches in an intrasquad game with Class-A St. Lucie. ... Pierre stole two bases in the 12th, increasing his career total to 599.

Protect Ya Pet: PETA Places Kimmy Cakes In Their Sights For Wearing Fur Products!
And we thought they were doin' Michael Vick dirty…
The divorcee-to-be, 31, is the latest celeb target of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), who have dedicated a holiday-season billboard in Los Angeles urging the reality star to rethink one of her luxe fashion choices.
On the billboard, going up in early December at the corner of Beverly Boulevard and Sweetzer Avenue, a fur-clad Kardashian sits opposite an adorable, sad shot of baby foxes. "Kim: These Babies Miss Their Mother," reads the provocative sign. "Is She on Your Back?"
"Kim knows that animals on fur farms are beaten, electrocuted, and often skinned alive. We've explained it to her, and she's watched a video exposé that was filmed inside fur farms," says PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange of the E! star, who has been laying relatively low since filing for divorce from Kris Humphries on Halloween.
"When Kim is ready to put an end to her relationship with fur, PETA will be happy to take her discards and donate them to the homeless," Lang adds.
While Kim was named PETA's "Worst Dress Celebrity" of 2010, her sister Khloe, 27, swore off animal pelts and even appeared in the buff for an "I'd Rather go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign ad.
"PETA hopes that the prominent billboard will finally be enough to convince Kim…to divorce herself from fur and say "I do" to a more compassionate wardrobe," they add.
Damn, a billboard though??? It's going to be interesting to see how Kim and her "mom-ager" Kris Jenner spin this PR disaster.
Is PETA going too far by puttin' Kimmy on a billboard?
Flip the script to see some of Kim "furriest" moments…

Paris Saint-Germain winger Jeremy Menez says he is feeling positive about Lucas Moura's arrival at the French club.
Winger Moura joined the Paris-based side in January on a four-and-a-half-year contract from Sao Paulo and will be directly competing with Menez for a position in the starting XI.
And in an interview with Telefoot, Menez insisted that the signing of the Brazilian will have a positive impact on the squad and added that he will relish the competition for a starting berth.
"The competition is not something that scares me, I'm afraid of no one," insisted the Rouge-et-Bleu winger.
"Lucas Moura is someone who comes in as an addition to help the team - so much the better.
"Quite simply, the best will play," he added.
PSG currently lie third in Ligue 1 and next face Bordeaux on Sunday.

BankersLab®, the first company to deliver a suite of integrated gamified training products to the retail banking industry, today announced the launch of Banc-itTM, a gamified mobile learning App and ScoringLabTM , a simulation game training product. The BankersLab suite of learning products is designed to help banks improve their use of credit risk scores and enable them to better serve their customers.
"While credit risk scores may provide good predictions, customer behavior and outcomes are dynamic," said Michelle Katics, CEO of BankersLab. "The solution is to improve a bank's ability to rapidly identify the changes and make the appropriate adjustments to their lending strategies."
To help banks overcome these challenges, BankersLab developed ScoringLab, a numerical simulation game that helps bankers further develop the skill set of troubleshooting and rapidly analyzing customer trends. ScoringLab transforms the learner into a player. In order to win, players must successfully operate the most profitable virtual bank under dynamic conditions. Each team demonstrates expertise in the key areas of credit risk score usage, including: risk reward trade-off, trends, identifying causal factors, and using scores for customer growth. Each module is linked to gamified course materials, digitally integrated case studies and the Banc-it iOS mobile learning app.
In addition to ScoringLab, BankersLab launched Banc-it: Scoring Edition, a gamified mobile learning App that provides an engaging path to learning and reinforces scoring concepts, terminology, and adaptability in changing market conditions.
ScoringLab is suitable for a range of job functions, including risk, collections, portfolio management and finance. As part of the ScoringLab solution, BankersLab offers clients rigorous 'train-the-trainers' or professional services support with an enterprise SaaS license.

Maria Sharapova hires Jimmy Connors as new coach
July 13, 2013
Maria Sharapova has hired Jimmy Connors as her new coach.
A day after announcing she was parting with Thomas Hogstedt, Sharapova posted on her website Saturday that she would work with the eight-time major champion.
Connors coached Andy Roddick for two years before resigning in 2008. He briefly worked with Sharapova before the 2008 Australian Open.
Hogstedt coached Sharapova for nearly three years. She said Friday he wouldn't be able to travel in the near future and they agreed she should find a new coach.
A winner of the career Grand Slam, the second-ranked Sharapova was upset in the second round at Wimbledon this year. She says "I am really excited about our new partnership and looking forward to the upcoming tournaments."

Oct 15th. That is my son's due date.
About a week ago my wife and I finished up cleaning the entire apartment. They call it 'the nesting period' according to our very expensive and nearly as informative child care/lamaze classes. Talk about thorough, it wasn't short of a visit to the ER to make sure my thumb was ok after cutting it while, none other than…scrubbing the tub. After an hour in the ER, some hospital glue and a 'have a nice day', we were on our way home to finish up and situate the nest to a level classified: Ready For Baby. (I'm fine, thanks for asking).
Things were cleaned, arranged just so. Nightlights were placed, sheets were laid down and curtains were put up. All that needed to happen was the baby's actual arrival.
AND THEN….the storm came.
It rained extremely hard last Thursday night here in NYC and apparently a drain on our terrace area was blocked. By about six leaves mind you. This was just enough to cause a flood in our bedroom and living room. Classification now: Nowhere Near Ready for Baby. All of a sudden there is a ton of work to do as all of the floors in our apartment need to be ripped up, gutted and replaced. Joy.

Ctenochaetus truncatus
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Ctenochaetus truncatus Randall & Clements, 2001
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:

|Edgar, G. & Kulbicki, M.
Ctenochaetus truncatus is widespread in the Indian Ocean, achieves high abundances in Christmas Island and is common in some areas of its distribution. It is not targeted and is caught only incidentally. There are no major threats known and it is found in a number of marine reserves in parts of its range. It is therefore listed as Least Concern.
|Range Description:
|Ctenochaetus truncatus is found from East Africa from Kenya to Natal to the Andaman Sea off Thailand, Cocos Keeling Islands and Christmas Island.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:British Indian Ocean Territory; Christmas Island; Cocos (Keeling) Islands; Comoros; French Southern Territories (Mozambique Channel Is.); India (Andaman Is., Nicobar Is.); Indonesia; Kenya; Madagascar; Malaysia; Maldives; Mauritius; Mayotte; Mozambique; Myanmar; Oman; Réunion; Seychelles; Somalia; South Africa; Sri Lanka; Tanzania, United Republic of; Thailand
|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:

|Ctenochaetus truncatus is one of the most abundant surgeonfishes on Christmas Island (Allen and Steene 1979). It is unusual in being much more common there than C. striatus (Randall and Clements 2001). It is common in the Seychelles (L. Rocha pers. comm. 2010) and Sodwana Bay (K.D. Clements pers. comm. 2010).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Ctenochaetus truncatus inhabits shallow water, coral-reef and rocky reefs. The genus Ctenochaetus feed on fine detrital material. They whisk the sand or rocky substratum with their teeth and utilize suction to draw in the detrital material that consists of diatoms, small fragments of algae, organic material and fine inorganic sediment (Randall and Clements 2001). Species of Ctenochaetus share the presence of a thick-walled stomach (Randall and Clements 2001), this character is significant with respect to the nutritional ecology of this genus (Choat et al. 2002b).
The sexes are separate among the acanthurids (Reeson 1983). Acanthurids do not display obvious sexual dimorphism, males assume courtship colours (J.H. Choat pers. comm. 2010).
|Use and Trade:
|Ctenochaetus truncatus is a minor component of the marine aquarium trade. It sells online for $79.95 to $149.95 depending on size (bluezooaquatics.com accessed 20 April 2010). It is a targeted food fish in western Thailand (Allen 2005). It is caught incidentally as food in other parts of its range.
|Major Threat(s):
There are no major threats known for this species.
Surgeonfishes show varying degrees of habitat preference and utilization of coral reef habitats, with some species spending the majority of their life stages on coral reef while others primarily utilize seagrass beds, mangroves, algal beds, and /or rocky reefs. The majority of surgeonfishes are exclusively found on coral reef habitat, and of these, approximately 80% are experiencing a greater than 30% loss of coral reef area and degradation of coral reef habitat quality across their distributions. However, more research is needed to understand the long-term effects of coral reef habitat loss and degradation on these species' populations. Widespread coral reef loss and declining habitat conditions are particularly worrying for species that recruit into areas with live coral cover, especially as studies have shown that protection of pristine habitats facilitate the persistence of adult populations in species that have spatially separated adult and juvenile habitats (Comeros-Raynal et al. 2012).
|Conservation Actions:
|There are no species-specific conservation measures in place for this species. However, its distribution overlaps several marine protected areas within its range.

JPMorgan and Wells Fargo & Co. are scheduled to report quarterly earnings tomorrow. Analysts forecast Wells Fargo, the largest U.S. home lender, will post record profit. Analysts project income at banks increased 19 percent in the third quarter, helping limit the S&P 500's first drop in quarterly earnings in three years to 1.7 percent.
The S&P 500 has slipped about 2 percent since reaching an almost five-year high of 1,465.77 on Sept. 14 after the Federal Reserve announced plans to buy $40 billion in mortgage securities a month to boost growth. The benchmark index is less than 1 percent higher than its 50-day moving average of 1,427.14.
'Focus Is Shifting'
"It's the beginning of earnings season and the focus is shifting from the boost that stocks got from provisional liquidity around the world," Brian Gendreau, a market strategist at El Segundo, California-based Cetera Financial Group Inc., said in a telephone interview. The firm has about $20 billion in assets under management. "We've had a string of warnings now from internationally oriented companies that profits and revenues aren't going to be what they had been. This is coming in a context of a global slowdown in growth."
U.S. 30-year bond yields decreased for a third straight day. The 30-year U.S. securities sold by the Treasury today drew a yield of 2.904 percent, compared with a forecast of 2.880 percent in a Bloomberg News survey of eight of the Federal Reserve's primary dealers. The bid-to-cover ratio, which gauges demand by comparing total bids with the amount of securities offered, was 2.49, versus an average of 2.65 for the previous 10 sales.
European Market
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index snapped a three-day slump as luxury goods companies and retailers also climbed. Burberry Group Plc, the U.K.'s largest luxury-goods maker, rallied 13 percent after reporting a partial recovery in retail sales growth since September's profit warning. Christian Dior SA and Cie. Financiere Richemont SA rose more than 3 percent.
Carrefour SA climbed 3.7 percent in Paris after the world's second-largest retailer posted third-quarter sales that beat analyst estimates. Direct Line Insurance Group Plc, a U.K. insurer, added 7.4 percent on the first day of trading following its 787 million-pound ($1.3 billion) initial public offering.
Italy's 10-year bond yield dropped nine basis points to 5.02 percent after the nation sold 3.75 billion euros ($4.8 billion) of benchmark three-year bonds at 2.86 percent and investors bid for 1.67 times the amount offered, up from 1.49 times last month.
Spain's two-year notes erased earlier losses, with the yield falling five basis points to 3.22 percent. The nation's 10-year rates were down four basis points at 5.76 percent. S&P yesterday cut Spain's debt rating to one level above junk, citing economic and political risks as the government considers a second bailout.

Idea: Constraction Parts Draft
Sets Parts Draft Hero Factory
For the uninformed - a parts draft is where you gather a bunch of copies of the same set, open them up, mix all the pieces together, then sort each different type of part into its own pile. Then people take turns picking piles until they're all gone. There's a little more too it, but that's the main gist. In the end, you get a bunch of a few different kinds of pieces, instead of a few of a bunch of different kinds of pieces like if you had just bought one copy of the set. It can help expand the depth of your building collection.
In our case, I was thinking that BZPower would provide a bunch of copies of a single set, probably ten of them. People who want to participate would then pay a set amount, probably around the cost of the set but hopefully a little less, to buy a spot. Once the spots are sold, we'd have the draft.
As far as how we do the draft, I had three ideas:
First option would be to do the whole thing by PM. I would have to sort the sets into lots, tell people what they are, and you'd take turns via PM selecting which lot you want. This could take a while since you have to wait for each person to reply.
Second idea is to do it live online, where everyone is in a video or voice chat taking turns selecting pieces. We could even livestream it for fun.
These two ideas would probably cost more as I'd also have to pay to ship each person their pieces.
Final idea is to just do it at BrickFair Virginia. There's usually enough members there that I think we could get the requisite ten people to do the draft.
What are your thoughts? Would you be interesting in participating? What sets do you think would be good ones to draft?

Feature Name
Split Softoken off from NSS
The softoken cryptographic module of NSS should be split off as the nss-softokn package. The utilities library which is a common library required by softokn and the rest of nss utils should also be packaged separately as nss-utils.
- Name: emaldonado
- email: email@example.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora ??
- Last updated: 2009-0726
- Percentage of completion: 75%
Detailed Description
The softoken cryptographic module of NSS would be the nss-softkn pacakage. A set of utilities called by both softoken and the rest of NSS would also need to be packaged as its own package.
NSS is FIPS 140 validated but what is really submitted for FIPS validation is the cryptographic module, that is, softkn. This split is to enable users and packagers to upgrade to the current version of NSS while preserving the last FIPS validated version of the cryptographic module if they so require. Fedora based distributions such as, but not limited to, RHEL would greatly benefit from this feature in terms of maintenance.
Benefit to Fedora
It will make Fedora a convenient Linux distribution to use when trying to be FIPS compliant.
This will not affect developers as it is a packaging change only and no changes to the NSS API are required nor changes to their build systems. The same libraries are shipped as before. They just get distributed among three packages.
The nss shared libraries which are currently distributed as
nss: libnss3.so, libnssutil3.so, libnssdbm3.so, libssl3.so, libsmime3.so, libsoftokn3.so, libsoftokn3.chk, libnssckbi.so, libnsspem.so softokn-freebl: libfreebl3.so, libfreebl3.chk (subpackage of nss)
would be distributed among the packages as
nss: libnss3.so, libnssdbm3.so, libssl3.so, libsmime3.so, libnssckbi.so, libnsspem.so softokn: libsoftokn3.so, libsoftokn3.chk softokn-freebl: libfreebl3.so, libfreebl3.chk (subpackage of softokn) util: ibnssutil3.so
How To Test
Separately package nss, nss-softokn, and nss-util all having the same version numbers. Separately package nss, and nss-util as the latest release while keeping nss-softokn at an earlier release such as the current release which was FIPS validated. There should not be conflicts at installation time in either of the above cases. Components that depend on NSS should install without conflicts There should be no regressions for components that depend on NSS. Examples of these are glibc, mod_nss, nss_compat_nss, crypto-utils, openswan, xulrunner, evolution, and Pidgin's libpurple.
User Experience
Neither developers nor end users should notice any difference with the exception seeing more packages being installed if they look closely at their yum installs or upgrades.
Upstream NSS 3.12.4 where some code reorganization was made to facilitate this work.
Contingency Plan
There are two contingency plans in case this split cannot be accomplished in time. 1) Make softokn and util sub-packages of nss instead of stand-alone packages. 2) Revert to using the current monolithic approach.
- This proposal has been implemented in Rawhide
Release Notes
- The softokn cryptographic module of NSS has been split off as the nss-softokn package
Comments and Discussion
Recommendations for the Package Maintainer
You will need to build the three packages is this order: nss-util, nss-softokn, and nss. In Rawhide the buildroot is updated frequently and we can also count on chained builds. This is not the case on the stable branches or the branch for the next fedora release after the branch which occurs with alpha. In these cases one must wait for the one package had been tagged into the build root before one can build the subsequent one. Often you will have some urgency. The procedures is open a ticket asking that the package you build be added to the builtroot and wait until so to proceed to the next step.
NOTE: Do not introduce a BuildRequire that is lower than the Require so that you can build the next package right away. It may build okay but will likely cause breakage later on when you try to install or some package that depend on nss will fail to build. All three packages have devel sub-packages. The BuildRequire must match the Require in terms of version.
NOTE: One must coordinate with release engineering progressively adding packages to the buildroot. It takes waiting. Furthermore one must get some assurance that all builds will succeed and and will not cause conflicts and avoid repeated request to release engineering. Testing is necessary.
Just submitting scratch builds is not sufficient because we need to build packages in the presence of the previous ones and test.
One could use multiple system builds and installs in various VM's. A 'yum --nogpgcheck loaclupdate pkagaes-we-have-so-far' is one way. All dependencies must be satisfied and no conflicts such result.
Another way is to do mockbuilds and add the packages to our local buildroot as we go along. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Mock_to_test_package_builds#Building_packages_that_depend_on_packages_not_in_a_repository

Baylie Brown Doesn't Quite Amaze 'American Idol' Judges with Lonestar Cover
Trying to calm her nerves on tonight's episode of 'American Idol,' Krum, Texas native Baylie Brown sat center stage on a stool in a slinky red dress with her blond ringlets perfectly coiffed. Though she looked like as much like a Miss America contestant as an 'American Idol' hopeful, Brown had a difficult time harnessing her voice for her rendition of Lonestar's 'Amazed.'
Though she was shaky at the beginning and pitchy at points throughout, Brown did show that she knows how to sing, and she especially shined on the quieter parts of the song where she could harness that voice and let it run beautifully over the notes. Still, in the end, Brown's pitchy points seemed to overshadow her stronger vocal qualities.
"I'm not sure if it's the best song you could have picked for tonight," Steven Tyler told the young beauty, adding that she was pretty. To that, Jennifer Lopez corrected her fellow judge by asserting that, no, Brown was beautiful. About the hopeful's voice, she wasn't quite so complimentary, but she did concede that she understands what nerves can do in a moment like that.
"It just didn't seem like you had total control," she said hesitantly. "I know it's those nerves, trust me I understand." Still, Lopez said, it's got to be solid when you're up against such intense competition.
Randy Jackson first pointed out that he thought Brown looked amazing, but he had to agree with the other judges, saying "You just never seized control of the song." Twenty-two-year-old Brown, who made it to the top 50 of 'American Idol' on season six, took it all with a good attitude, saying in her interview at the end, "I don't think I did too awful on it. I had fun." Hopefully Brown will get another chance to prove herself in this competition, but we'll have to wait and see what America decides.

The Concordia Academy volleyball team finished second at the Class AA state tournament Nov. 12. The team included Rachel Terhaar, Brooke Weichbrodt, Taylor Brunn, Sally Paul, Kira Fallert, Lydia Lecher, Sarah McTaggart, Anika Neuman, Arika Robinson, Erin Fallert and Abby Miggler.
For the second consecutive year, the Concordia Academy volleyball team concluded its season by playing for a state championship.
The Roseville Area High School volleyball team saw its fifth consecutive trip to the state tournament end short of its goal. The Raiders went 0-2 in the Class AAA tournament.
Alivia Garbe
The Concordia Academy volleyball team got its third consecutive trip to the state tournament off to a good start although it wasn't easy.
Hill-Murray and Holy Angels were clearly the top two volleyball teams in Section 4AA and they met the in finals last week. The match went four sets, two of which were close and the other two not so much.
For the seniors on the Roseville Area High School volleyball team, their final trip to the state tournament is later this week. They've adopted an underdog mentality heading into the tournament and are ready to let it all hang out.
The Concordia Academy volleyball team entered the Section 5AA final last week as the underdog, at least as far as the seeds were concerned.
The North High School volleyball team found itself in a familiar position last week. Following a victory over Mahtomedi in their first post-season match, the Polars moved on to the semifinals.
The volleyball teams from Concordia Academy and DeLaSalle appear destined to meet in the section final for the second consecutive season. The top two seeds had little trouble in winning their section playoff openers last week.
The Roseville Area High School volleyball team last week took the first step toward another berth in the state tournament. The Raiders, in search of a fifth consecutive trip to downtown St. Paul, rolled in their section playoff opener.

I know I had promised to talk a lot more about Cataclysm since it was released, but truthfully I have spent more of my free time actually playing. I think this expansion is a mixed bag for all types of players. Many are going to hate the changes, but blizzard really tried to please almost everyone… which is a very hard thing to do.
As a guild master I think they did an excellent job with the guild leveling system. Never before since the inception of the guild have we bee more motivated than every day when we hit the experience cap. Its a common goal that has been growing in popularity as we become one of the top two guilds in the server to always reach the next level. Top on the alliance side and neck and neck with a horde guild.
As a raid leader, the content is fresh and does not feel rehashed. Every fight has its own unique twist, and the ones that are somewhat complicated because of multiple abilities seem to have a mechanic to make it possible. The enrage timers have not been too constrictive and everything that we have learned we have been able to down. The stuff that we have struggled with have been things we don't get to practice or things that we just attempt after a full night of raiding. We are getting quicker and quicker with the initial bosses which will help speed things up a great deal in the coming weeks.
I have leveled almost all my toons to the cap now, the experience buffs from the guild make things very easy which is convenient, but also sometimes makes it feel too quick. Being able to level just using the dungeon system makes it that you don't get to quest unless you really want to.
I have a couple of alts ready to level as soon soon as we reach our guild cap and we can take the time to enjoy the quest lines a little more. Everything seems fresh and new and I seem to never have enough time to do all the things that I want to do in game!

IT Management Slideshow: What Kind of Leader Are You?
There are many levels of leadership, and CIOs who ask themselves a few key questions can determine their leadership style and how to best manage their teams for success. Begin by taking a look at whether your IT department employees follow you because they have to - or because they are inspired by you. In the new book, The 5 Levels of Leadership: Proven Steps to Maximize Your Potential (Center Street/Available now) author John C. Maxwell illustrates five levels of leadership -- Position, Permission, Production, People Development and Pinnacle -- and explains how to optimize your managerial impact in each area. Whether employees are motivated by favors like money, perks or nice gestures etc., by promotion potential, or by a pure sense of "buy in," you need to be aware of the paths to success and the potential pitfalls you could encounter along the way. (Hint: Micromanagement, an unchecked ego and "my way or the highway" directives will ultimately derail your upward momentum.) Maxwell is founder of EQUIP and the John Maxwell Company, both leadership-training organizations. For more about the book, go to JohnMaxwellOnLeadership.com. Here are selected highlights:

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Rick Scott is vetoing a bill that would have allowed some young immigrants who are living in the U.S. illegally to apply for a temporary driver's license in the state.
The Republican-controlled Legislature passed a bill that said that young immigrants allowed to remain in the country under an Obama administration "deferred action" policy could use federal documents to receive a temporary driver's license for at least one year.
In a veto message, Scott questioned the legality of the federal policy announced last June.
The Republican governor notes the policy has not been approved by Congress or as a federal rule. He says the administration order could not be used to justify letting someone have a temporary license.
The bill was passed overwhelmingly.

Chamber offers competition for high school studentsBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
February 24. 2013 8:37PM
AMHERST - Kids looking to improve their interviewing skills as they head into college interviews and job searches can practice during the Souhegan Valley Chamber of Commerce's annual High School Interview Competition.
"The competition was developed to reinforce the importance of interview and presentation skills in high school-level students," according to the chamber's Executive Director May Balsama. "Our high schools are doing a great job with our students and they are a major factor in the continued strength of our region's economy and that of our communities."
The High School Interview Competition matches students from a number of schools by reaching out to their guidance counselors.
The first round of competition will take place in the first week of March at each participating school. The top three students from each school will move on to the final round at the chamber office in late March.
To prepare for the competition, students will be participating in skill-building activities that will teach them how to write cover letters and resumes as well as how to present themselves over the telephone and during interviews. Area schools will conduct mock interview elimination rounds which will lead to a final round to be judged by human resources professionals from chamber businesses.
All participating students will attend a Chamber After Hours event on May 14 when the winners will be announced and prizes awarded.
"This effort is a partnership between our business community and our schools," said Balsama. "It is intended to encourage solid preparation of our young people for the day they enter our workforce."
Students who would like to participate in the competition should express their interest to their school guidance counselor or principal. More information is also available at the chamber office or at www.souhegan.net.

LONDON (AP) — Renewed jitters about Ukraine as pro-Russian militants pressed ahead with plans for an independence referendum weighed on markets Friday.
Ukraine continued to loom large for investors. Insurgents in the country's east are preparing for a weekend referendum on independence, a vote similar to the plebiscite that paved the way for Moscow's annexation of Crimea in March. Preparations have continued despite a call by Russian President Vladimir Putin to put off the vote amid negotiations with the West over Ukraine's future.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares closed down 0.4 percent at 6,814.57 while Germany's DAX fell 0.3 percent to 9,581.45. The CAC-40 in France ended 0.7 percent lower at 4,477.28.
The main point of interest was the euro, after its sharp turnaround Thursday in the wake of a hint from European Central Bank President Mario Draghi that the bank could ease monetary policy further next month to boost inflationary pressures across the 18-country eurozone. Standing at an annual rate of 0.7 percent, inflation in the eurozone is below the ECB's target of just below 2 percent.
The ECB could, for example, cut interest rates which would make the euro less attractive. That's largely why the euro is down a further 0.6 percent Friday at $1.3756. Before Draghi made his remarks, the euro nearly hit $1.40 for the first time in two-and-a-half years.
"Draghi's interjection has no doubt provided euro bulls with the perfect opportunity to consolidate gains and reflect upon a decent run, though whether it has deprived the euro of a major pillar of support to dissuade them from regrouping, is another matter," said Neil Mellor, senior currency strategist at Bank of New York Mellon.
In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average was down 0.1 percent at 16,536 while the broader S&P 500 index, which nearly struck another all-time high on Thursday, fell 0.3 percent to 16,536.
"As earnings season winds down, we are still lacking the vital spark to send this market higher," said Brenda Kelly, chief market strategist at IG.
Earlier in Asia, the mood was mixed after lower than anticipated Chinese inflation figures. Though the drop in the annual rate to 1.8 percent may give Beijing more leeway to stimulate the slowing Chinese economy if needed, it also underlined the extent to which domestic demand has weakened.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed up 0.1 percent at 21,862.99 while Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average gained 0.3 percent to 14,199.59. South Korea's Kospi edged up 0.3 percent.

Five people arrested in drug sting at Nashua rooming houseBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
October 24. 2013 4:18PM
NASHUA - Five people - including the building manager of a local rooming house - have been arrested for allegedly selling and possessing heroin and other narcotics.Police said Christopher O'Riley, 35, of 29 Temple St., Apt. 104, was one of several people allegedly selling heroin from his apartment within the rooming house. O'Riley, the building manager, was receiving the drugs from a Massachusetts supplier identified as Kendrah DeHate, 31, of 29 Arch St., Apt. 1, Haverhill, Mass., police said.According to authorities, DeHate is accused of traveling daily from Massachusetts to Nashua to supply four occupants of the rooming house -- including the building manager -- with drugs that would be resold to street-level users throughout the city.Police are crediting anonymous tips and surveillance for initiating the drug investigation, which ultimately led to undercover operations within the rooming house and subsequent search warrants for at least two of the apartments."The Nashua Police Department and the City of Nashua Code Enforcement Office will be continuing to investigate illegal activities at 29 Temple St. and take appropriate action," police said in a release.The building manager, O'Riley, has been charged with two counts of the unlawful sale of heroin, second offense. He is being held on $75,000 cash bail.The alleged supplier, DeHate, has been charged with one count of possession of a narcotic drug, heroin, with the intent to distribute (in excess of five grams) and one count of possession of a controlled drug, marijuana. She was being held on $10,000 cash bail.Three other occupants of the rooming house were also arrested in the drug sting, according to police.Vernon Grant, 35, of Apt. 108, was charged with numerous offenses, including two counts of the unlawful sale of heroin, and one count each of possession of heroin, possession of Alprazolam, possession of Famotidine and possession of Viagra.He was held on $50,000 cash bail.Apryll Grant, 29, of Apt. 108, was charged with four counts of the unlawful sale of heroin, and one count each of possessing heroin, Suboxone, Alprazolam, Famotidine and Viagra. She was held on $100,000 cash bail.Samantha Brailsford, 25, of Apt. 104, was charged with one count of the unlawful sale of heroin, a felony. She was held on $25,000 cash bail.All five were arraigned in 9th Circuit Court, Nashua District Division."These investigations were conducted by detectives of the Narcotics Intelligence Division over the last several weeks," said police, adding the Drug Enforcement Agency's New England High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas task force assisted city police with the investigation.The rooming house on Temple Street was once the Nashua YMCA and currently rents more than 100 rooms.While the investigation continues into drug activity at the facility, police are urging the public to contact the Narcotics Hotline at 594-3597 to provide authorities with additional information about illegal drug activity in email@example.com

President Obama devoted his weekly address yesterday to the cap-and-tax bill that passed the House on Friday. In case you wanted to know what it's all about, Obama explains:
Make no mistake: this is a jobs bill. We're already seeing why this is true
in the clean energy investments we're making through the Recovery Act. In
California, 3000 people will be employed to build a new solar plant that will
create 1000 permanent jobs. In Michigan, investment in wind turbines and wind
technology is expected to create over 2,600 jobs. In Florida, three new solar
projects are expected to employ 1400 people.
The list goes on and on, but the point is this: this legislation will
finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy. That will lead to the
creation of new businesses and entire new industries. And that will lead to
American jobs that pay well and cannot be outsourced. I have often talked about
the need to build a new foundation for economic growth so that we do not return
to the endless cycle of bubble and bust that led us to this recession. Clean
energy and the jobs it creates will be absolutely critical to this new
And here I thought this was a bill to save the planet. They not only figured out how to save the planet, but also how to create entire new industries too!
Make no mistake: He thinks you're stupid.

Any parent who has tackled toilet training knows that awkward in-between stage where your kid's not 100 percent there, but you need to leave the house and take the underwear leap of faith. Will you be near a toilet when the urge strikes?
One Utah mom decided to take the guesswork out of this scenario by just bringing portable potties to a local deli. Another patron snapped a photo of twins sitting bare-bummed on the throne, clothes pulled to their ankles, while they sat eating. The picture was posted to Facebook, where it went viral.
Plus: 12 Tried-and-True Potty Training Strategies from Real Parents
The deli staff received several complaints but the twins and their mom had left by the time management was alerted. They say they would have asked her to leave, since letting kids poop or pee where people are eating is most certainly a safety violation, not to mention just clueless.
Have you ever seen something like this? How did you handle leaving the house when your kids potty-trained? Leave a comment.

I went to (some) trouble memorising
1. Relative pronouns and adjectives
2.Interrogative pronouns
3. Interrogative adjectives
4. Indefinite pronouns and
5. Indefinite adjectives.
I'd be interested to know which one of these quisque / quemque derives from. Looking at Betts' TYSL he doesn't allow the form 'quis' in 1., 3., or 5.
My guess (and it really is a guess) is that quisque / quemque is a form of 4. - an indefinite pronoun.
Also in Orberg: LLPSI Ch. XVII. Line: 13 he gives us:
Magister Diodorus recitare desinit et pueros aspicit, qui taciti stant ante suam quisque sellam; nemo eorum dormit.
'qui' is a relative pronoun (masculine nominative pural) and 'quisque' is masculine nominative singular (exact pronoun type to be advised?) and therefore not part of the objectve; Orberg helpfully rearranges the words in the margin to explain: 'quisque ante suam sellam'
That said I'm not claiming to really understand the nuances of these pronouns. Also I'm assuming that quisque / quemque are examples of the types listed above. Whether they are or not I'd be grateful if anyone can - after pointing out my terrible ignorance - guide me to a good overview of their use.

The agronomist Roscoe Thatcher served as the last president of Massachusetts Agricultural College and the first when the institution changed its name to Massachusetts State College in 1931. Before coming to Amherst, Thatcher had extensive experience in both agricultural research and administration, having served as director of the agricultural station for the state of Washington, as professor of plant chemistry at the University of Minnesota (1913-1917), and as dean of the School of Agriculture and director of the Minnesota Experiment Station (1917-1921), and as director of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station at Geneva. Selected as President of the Massachusetts Agricultural College in 1927, he helped expand the two year program in practical agriculture to become the Stockbridge School of Agriculture and oversaw curricular reform, orienting vocational training toward citizenship education. The student health service also started during his tenure. Thatcher resigned due to ill health in 1933. Although he returned to research in agricultural chemistry at the College in April 1933, he died in his laboratory on December 6, 1933.

"In order to be courteous, a child must have a care to give due deference to others, in his ordinary salutations and greetings, and in his expression of thanks for every kindness or attention shown to him."
"Attractiveness of personal appearance, gracefulness in [carriage], tastefulness in dress, elegance in manners, and carefulness in word and tone of voice, may, indeed, all be found where there is no true courtesy. . ."
"True courtesy involves a readiness to apologize for any and every failure, whether intentional or unintentional," says Henry Clay Trumbull. ". . . for just as far as one is considerate of the feelings of another will he want to express his regret and that any performance or failure on this part; has been a course of discomfort to another. All this is, of course, a trying matter to a child, and a taxing matter to a parent; but it is to the obvious advantage of both parties."

A Horsley man has used his passion for vintage cars as the driving force for a new business.
A Horsley man has used his passion for vintage cars as the driving force for a new business.
Andy Baston, 56, has been a car enthusiast throughout his life and as a young boy in the 1950s he used to admire the Riley cars from over the wall of Walton Hall, based nearby to his childhood home in Chesterfield.
Now, following a ten-year labour of love Andy has finally put a 1948 Riley RMA back on the road - and in doing so has launched his own chauffeur-driven, vintage car company 'Life of Riley'.
Andy said: "I started my actual career in catering and have been a full-time head chef for most of my working life, but after taking time and patience to restore the Riley, I realised I wanted others to share in the wonderful experience that driving this unique form of transport can bring.
"As a result the premise of Life of Riley was born - a small, reliable, family run business, which allows me to offer affordable, chauffeur-driven services to people on their special days and memorable occasions. Cars have been my life-time passion and I feel very lucky to now have the opportunity to run Life of Riley, very much combining work with pleasure."
Andy will be donating ten percent of all profits to the Nightingale Macmillan Unit at the Royal Derby Hospital. Angie Betts, a community palliative care nurse specialist said: "This is a wonderful example of an innovative and creative way to raise money. The funds raised will go towards equipment in the centre to help ensure comfort for patients, and ongoing education about care for cancer."

The Avatar wrote:Kingdom of One's original point (as I understand it) was that it doesn't make sense to have to scum for veto (and locker too, I guess) items to put in slots. This is the classic why do we have to scum/can we have a vault argument. We've had this before and it comes to nothing but angry people. Seeing as no one appears to have changed their beliefs on this topic I fail to see how anything but more angry people can result from an effectively identical discussion.
Veto item slot population is not the same as locker slot limitations. Yes, at the moment they use the same system and yes, we're unlikely to change a system like that right now, but they're not fundamentally the same issue. Locker items are about increasing item value perception in players, everything about that system is designed to do that (including limiting slot numbers and hunting for items). Veto slots are about a perceived lack of gameplay relevance in specific items, unfortunately we don't have enough real stats on people using veto slots to be able to tell if people who do veto items are negatively affected by what that process is like.
A much smaller percentage of players even HAVE veto slots available and for those that do, veto slot churn tends to be related to very specific repeated dungeon attempts at harder dungeons - AND the number of runs that seem to be dedicated to item finding in that case are dwarfed by the number of runs that seem to be scumming for favorable starts and shop items. That makes sense, veto slots are supposed to ease the need for scumming in players that want to actually scum - it appears that they do achieve that, but I can't say for certain if the way players populate those slots is a good or a bad thing because I don't have massive numbers on that yet.
Players just starting out with vetoing do seem to have more locker churn during their item hunting runs and those runs are also longer (by an order of magnitude) than the veteran vetoers' hunting runs, suggesting that they are still playing the game instead of purely scumming.
To be honest, I don't see how pre-demonising us devs and saying that we won't listen when talking about player feedback is a useful strategy at all, that appears to be what Lujo keeps wanting to do to newly verbose players. We want MORE feedback, not the same feedback from the same players. Which is why I pointed out that Lujo's perspective isn't universal, is rather negative/dismissive and simply doesn't have the data that we do... For instance, Lujo's locker churn is far, far lower than the average and at the same time, his locker item usage spread is way below the average as well. We know why that is because he's told us how he feels about items, but that doesn't change the fact that his locker playstyle, even among veterans, isn't normal (nor does it seem to indicate a pattern of play that emerges after players gain experience either, it's an outlier). I'm not dismissing Lujo's feelings, I'm just saying that I can't justify making sweeping changes to the game because of them. Although I do wish he'd be a bit nicer about discussing them.
Does wanting more people's views/experiences and not hearing the same angry points from the same angry people make me inherently angry too? Or am I allowed a certain dose of perspective here?

You know you watch way too much anime, when...
I totally forgot about this until now...so, we had a topic named this (it was an old thread, but i could not find it in the forum search, so i guess it was still in 2005). I managed to save all 8 pages' (i think i made this list when no one replied anymore onto the thread) of these jokes into a huge list a while ago. Since it was for personal reasons (show it a few friends etc.), it "only" contains 90-95% of the jokes, cause it was a certain friend mainly and i had to make it PG-13 (well, at least I've tried it...I'm sure there are still some in it...and yes, just quickly watching thru the list, i left some :P). Since it is a pure list, it does not contains the authors, sorry. Anyways, here is the list, in the spoilers tag, since it is long, very long, but it is worth reading it:

When you realize that your HD-DVD recorder is all set to anime shows late at night, and when you set your TV-tuner equipped mobile phone to show a certain channel when you are commuting back home in the train.
Your favorite radio program is listening to seiyuu radioshows streaming over the internet.
When you can cite which director, staff, and which seiyuu are in each anime program, and you can do a "guess that seiyuu" when watching an anime for the first time.
Or, when your major objective of a new press release for an anime happens to be "which anime production company, which anime director, and which seiyuu will be doing which character" (Basically, you already know the anime since you've already read or played the game before the initial announcement that it was going to be animated. Hence, you are interested in predicting whether the anime adaptation will satisfy you or not by finding out who will be directing it and who will be voicing which certain characters.)
You end up buying an anime DVDs, only to watch it one time, keep the limited edition goods, and sell it at your local used DVD shop or at Amazon Japan in order to buy more anime DVDs.
Your bed consists of two life-sized dakimakura (hug pillows) from moe~ bishoujo game characters, and your computer desk is lined up with moe~ figurines, so of which costs over USD$800 at Wonderfest.
Your doujinshi collection spans over a decade of Comike.
Your CD collection and songs in your iPod is nothing but limited edition CDs, drama CDs, and anime/ero-game soundtracks.
Your bookcase consists of nothing but light novels and mangas that spans over two decades.
The rundown: You know you watched way too much anime when.... you become like me. It's a warning. Don't degrade yourself to my pathetic level.

Anyway, you know you've watched too much anime when:
You're convinced your girlfriend is sick because she has (too much stored magic built up/been turned into a cyborg weapon), rather than just caught a cold.
Your idea of a perfect date involves maid cafes.
You don't consider being called a loli-con an insult.
You have a link in your sig encouraging people to vote for your favorite girl in a recent anime series.

It always happens to me, and it's getting frustrating sometimes.
Back in 2004:
People ask you about Naruto even though you don't know a single freaking thing about Naruto, and then they wonder why you don't watch Naruto since they think all anime fans watch Naruto.
In 2005:
People ask you about Bleach even though you don't know a single freaking thing about Bleach, and then they wonder why you don't watch Bleach since they think all anime fans watch Bleach.
In summary, you know you've watched too much anime when:
# people already think you know everything about anime, and yet you don't know a single freaking thing about the anime 'they' like.

You don't talk about stuff that is popular, you are already talking about something that will become popular. By the time that becomes popular, you've already moved on to something else. It's somewhat sad to be always one-step-ahead by being able to understand the language that is necessary to read light-novels and ero-games that the anime will be based on. You really can't enjoy and join in the fun.

kj1980 (or anyone interested), just a question:
On the average, how many anime/ero-games do you purchase each year and what are some of the qualities you are looking for in such games?
AFAIK, there are like more than a hundred of these kinds of games released per year. Currently, the games I'm playing right now are Negima (Vols. 1 and 2) and Princess Maker 4.
