Announcement by Swiss Confederation regarding conversion of UBS mandatory convertible notes and placement of shares
The Swiss Confederation (the "Confederation") has announced its intention to exercise its right to convert all CHF 6 billion of its holding of UBS Mandatory Convertible Notes due 2011 ("MCNs") and to place with institutional investors the newly issued UBS shares received upon conversion.
Upon conversion of the MCNs, UBS will issue 332,225,913 new shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.10 each from existing conditional capital. As a result, the share capital of UBS will increase from currently CHF 322,583,859.90 to CHF 355,806,451.20. Conversion and the capital increase are expected to take place on 25 August 2009.
Further, in connection with the conversion of the MCNs, the Confederation will waive its right to receive future coupons on the converted MCNs for a cash amount of approximately CHF 1.8 billion, (the "Coupon Consideration"), representing the present value of the future coupon payments. The Coupon Consideration is expected to be paid on 25 August 2009. UBS considers the Federal Council's decision an acknowledgement of the measures the bank has taken so far to restore its health. Chairman Kaspar Villiger said: "The Board of Directors and the executive management of UBS would like to thank the Swiss Confederation, the Swiss National Bank and FINMA for their prudent and resolute course of action from October 2008 to this day."
Financial and Accounting Effect on UBS
Upon conversion, the liability relating to the principal value of the MCNs and the negative replacement value relating to the embedded options of the MCNs will be transferred to equity, increasing the book value of UBS's capital by a corresponding amount. Conversion will have no impact on UBS's regulatory capital.
The Coupon Consideration does not differ materially in amount from the book value of the relevant liability held in UBS's balance sheet as at 30 June 2009. The Coupon Consideration will, therefore, have no material impact on UBS's profit and loss account for the third quarter of 2009. However, the Coupon Consideration will reduce UBS's Tier 1 ratio by approximately 60 basis points based on risk-weighted assets as at 30 June 2009. As at 30 June 2009, UBS had accrued charges of approximately CHF 400 million to its regulatory capital account in respect of the coupon liability. The balance of unaccrued liability of approximately CHF 1.4 billion will therefore be charged to regulatory capital.

Wilson called up to spell taxed bullpen
BOSTON -- In need of another bullpen arm after two shaky starts by the team's starting rotation, the Red Sox decided to recall reliever Alex Wilson from Triple-A Pawtucket on Wednesday.
The Red Sox's bullpen has been taxed in the past two games, as six different pitchers have tossed seven innings.
"We felt like a two-inning reliever is what we needed, which Alex has done. He has a familiarity with the role and that is why he is here," said manager John Farrell.
While the right-hander is expected to be with the club for only a small chunk of time, he's going to do his best to stand out.
"I'm not sure how I'm going to be used, but I'm just going to try to provide a consistent arm while I'm here and hopefully it will be longer than shorter," said Wilson.
Wilson's held right-handers to a .063 average with Pawtucket this season. Opponents are also 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position against him this season.
With the Red Sox in 2013, Wilson went 1-1 with a 4.88 ERA in 26 games. He struck out 22 batters in 27 2/3 innings.
"It's always a confidence boost. It's always great to come back. It definitely makes you feel good," Wilson said. "Every time out, I feel like it's an audition for me to keep proving to everybody what I can do."

Very poor. A real let down, not least because the author points out almost straight away that there were no set infantry tactics for the Free World forces serving in Vietnam. Countries such as the U.S. had global commitments and could not, or chose not, to draw up any specialized tactics for fighting a counter insurgency campaign.
As the manuals are easily accessible and free on line this book is just a clever way of removing your hard earned cash from your pocket. I bought this on the back of a recommendation from a friend . I have to say I now see them in a new light if he thought this was worth even what I paid second hand! Avoid it.

HOW TO SELECT A MATE (Jan, 1965)
Alas, none of the attributes included proficiency in L33t5p34k, a hot avatar or a snarky blog. How's a modern boy to choose?
You may think you know why you like certain women—but you'll be surprised at what psychologists say about your real motives
By Norman Carlisle
WHY did you marry your wife? If you're not married, why will you marry? Chances are that whichever of these questions fits your marital state, the answers you give will be wrong. Psychologists probing the reasons why people pick the mates they do emerge with the conclusion that men really don't know why, for better or worse, they abandon bachelorhood.
Love and sexual attraction—the reasons usually given—are not, to psychologists anyway, reason enough. What are the real subconscious drives that propel one person into the arms of another?
Dr. R. F. Winch, of Northwestern University, has worked out the theory that you really marry on the basis of psychological need.
"In mate selection," he claims, "each individual seeks within his or her field of eligibles for that person who gives the greatest promise of providing him or her with maximum need gratification."
What are the needs? Dr. Winch has worked out 12 that he and other psychologists agree are of key importance in mate selection:
• Abasement—To accept or invite blame, criticism or punishment. To blame or harm one's self.
• Achievement—To work diligently to create something and/or to emulate others.
• Approach—To draw near and enjoy interaction with another person or persons.
• Autonomy—To get rid of the constraint of other persons. To avoid or escape from domination. To be unattached and independent.
• Deference—To admire and praise a person.
• Dominance—To influence and control the behavior of others.
• Hostility—To fight. To injure others.
• Nurturance—To give sympathy and aid to weak, helpless, ill person or animal.
• Recognition—To excite the admiration and approval of others.
• Status Aspiration—To desire a socio-economic status considerably higher than one has.
• Status Striving—To work diligently to alter one's socio-economic status.
• Succorance—To be helped by a sympathetic person. To be nursed, loved, protected, indulged.
Pairing these off, Dr. Winch sees a person whose need is abasement as being most likely to marry an individual whose need was autonomy, dominance, hostility, nurturance or recognition. One whose need was achievement would seek to match up with a person whose need was deference, dominance, recognition or status aspiration. A person whose need was autonomy would pick one whose needs were deference or hostility. If the need was deference it would be best satisfied by one whose need was dominance, hostility, nurturance or recognition. Status aspiration matches up ' with status striving, succorance with nurturance.
Dr. Winch does not contend that matings which meet these needs necessarily bring about happy marriages. He is simply maintaining that, whether they know it or not, that's the basis on which people tend to select their mates. A man who needed autonomy to escape the psychological influence of a domineering mother, for instance, might well marry a woman whose deep-seated need was hostility. The result—even though needs were being satisfied—could be a running battle.
In some cases, Winch's theory would answer the often asked question, "What on earth does he see in her?" What he sees is an answer to his needs. The satisfaction of them can hold together what otherwise might seem like a pretty unlikely match.
Dr. Winch, a venturesome man with the courage of his convictions, challenged his colleagues to a little test that would demonstrate the Tightness of his contentions. Psychological descriptions of a number of married persons were prepared by his fellow psychologists. Winch sets himself to the task of saying who was married to whom. He was astonishingly successful, correctly matching six couples out of six on his first try. Armed with more complete descriptions, he equaled this record on other groups.
Do many men want to marry a girl just like the girl who married dear old dad? The savants are divided on that one. Most tests come out like one conducted by N.Y. psychologist D. P. Kent. He queried students in depth as to their mental image of a prospective mate. Then, six weeks later, he conducted another survey in which the students described their mothers' characteristics.
In 20% of these replies, he found that, of six major traits on the mother list, there was only one that had also been listed in the mate requirements; in almost half, there were only two traits in common. In less than 2% of the cases did the mental image of a mate's characteristics check on five of the six points.
A noted Hungarian psychiatrist, Dr. L. Szondi advances the astounding theory that your image of what you expect in a mate is governed by heredity! He figures it this way: From observing his patients he concluded that men tend to pick mates who are in "the same hereditary position."
He tested his theory by taking photographs of large numbers of women whose psychiatric history he knew thoroughly. Subjects of his test—men whose history he also had studied—were asked to look at the photos and pick the women who most appealed to them.
Szondi found that almost invariably the strongest reactions were to those who had emotional similarities! (These were certainly not obvious in the photographs, which were ordinary mug shots.) A man who came of a family in which melancholia was present, for instance, would express a strong liking for a picture of a woman who came of a family possessing the same characteristics.
There were some cases in which the reactions were just the opposite. These men indicated a strong dislike of women with similar emotional backgrounds, which may be one reason why other scientists dispute Szondi's theories.
Does the masculine man seek the feminine woman? Some psychiatrists think so, nobody more vociferously than Dr. Otto Weininger, of Vienna, who gave that theory a boost in a tome called "Sex and Character."
Everyone is a mixture of sex characteristics. That is, all men have some feminine traits, all women some masculine ones. Weininger's contention was that an 80% masculine type would go for the 80% feminine type, and so on, up or down the percentages.
Weininger, who alleged that he could judge masculinity and femininity from facial characteristics revealed in photographs, used photographs to prove his case. When shown a number of them, he was able to indicate, with almost 100% accuracy, just which people would appeal to each other. In many cases, where the photographs were of husbands and wives, but mixed at random, he was able to state correctly, "This man picked this woman."
Along with probing hidden psychological motivations, the social scientists have also been looking into the matter of what men believe to be the basis on which they choose a mate. Here they've come up with some interesting and sometimes contradictory conclusions.
One of the most extensive studies was carried out at Ball State Teachers College, an 8000-student institution in Muncie, Ind. Here Dr. Lester E. Hewett set out to analyze the dating and mating selections of students. He found out that they broke their considerations down into 20 factors, some major, some quite minor. The major ones are: Rates socially, likes home, is healthy, has sense of humor, is a good earner (male), a good cook (female), is ambitious, considerate, well groomed, attractive, religious, affectionate, intellectual, sensible about money, has some background, emotional maturity, normal heredity.
Among the striking facts to emerge from his surveys, Dr. Hewett reports, is the fact that a man, though he will select a mate from the girls he dates, has a considerably different set of standards for measuring them. Does a man want a real home-loving gal? Not for a date. Only 24% of the males considered a girl's attitude toward home of crucial importance when they were dating her. But when they considered a girl as a mate, things changed a lot. Then 65% of the men averred that "likes home" was of crucial importance; visions of a well-kept house, hot meals on time, and pipe and slippers comfort seemed to be uppermost in their minds.
As for cooking, only 30% thought "likes to cook" was important in a date, while 66% put down culinary accomplishment as a quality they insist upon in a wife. The men expected their mates to treat them better than their dates. About 77% picked "considerate" as a must in a date, while, for a wife, 92% pegged that as being an absolute requirement.
Should a wife have an affectionate nature? Yes, said 82%. But, as for dates, only 67% desired that they lavish any affection on their escorts.
But what a man thinks he wants in a wife is often not what he really wants. "It is not uncommon," says Dr. Allan Fromme, a mate selection authority, "to describe any number of characteristics desirable in the ideal of a mate which do not at all fit into their own lives."
One of the commonest of clashes between statement and actual requirement is in the matter of intelligence. Dozens of surveys have indicated that here men tend to be all mixed-up. Typical was the one who insisted that he wanted a mate "with a very high IQ, capable of carrying on an intellectual conversation." Psychological tests, however, showed that he really wanted a mate of lesser intelligence than himself. In fact, he had a deep-seated fear of marrying a wife smarter than he was, although he could never admit this to himself.
Then there was the case of the ardent fisherman, hunter, boater and golfer. He dated outdoor type girls, firmly stated that he wanted his wife to have an "interest in the outdoors." However, psychological tests indicated this was really the last thing he wanted. What he really expected of a wife was that she should be a homebody type who would let him enjoy his outdoor pastimes with male companions. He didn't want a girl who was crazy about the great outdoors, but one who would be crazy about an outdoor man!

What is Hepatitis?
Hepatitis means "inflammation of the liver". There are seven known types of hepatitis, but it is usually caused by one of three viruses: Hepatitis A, B or C. The effects of each virus are different. In some cases viral Hepatitis can lead to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), which can lead to serious life-threatening diseases including cancer of the liver. People can die from Hepatitis.
What are the differences among Hepatitis A, B, and C?
Hepatitis A (HAV) is caused by a virus found in feces (people's stool). You can get it by coming in contact with infected feces. The most common way is by swallowing food or liquids that get contaminated by hands that are not washed thoroughly after using the toilet. You can also get Hepatitis A through sexual acts like 'rimming' (licking someone's anus) or via oral sex on a male's penis after he has had anal sex.
Almost everyone infected with Hepatitis A completely recovers in about 4 to 8 weeks. Although there are not always symptoms, you may suffer from nausea, vomiting, jaundice (yellow skin and/or eyes), diarrhea, and/or extreme lack of energy. Hepatitis A is rarely dangerous unless accompanied by Hepatitis C. You can pass Hepatitis A to another person even if there are no symptoms. After recovery of Hepatitis A you can not spread it to others and you will be immune from getting it again. The immune system develops antibodies that can fight off future exposure.
Hepatitis B (HBV) is caused by a virus that lives in body fluids that include blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk. You can get it by having unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone infected with Hepatitis B. There is also high risk in sharing needles (tattoos, ear-piercing, drug needles). Because it is transmitted so easily through body fluids, you can also get it by touching someone's open sore or cut with your own open sore or cut, or by sharing items (toothbrushes, razors, etc). Hepatitis can also be passed from a pregnant mother to her child.
When infected with Hepatitis B, the sickness may start gradually, usually lasting a month or two. Some people have no symptoms, but they can include yellow skin or eyes, feeling tired, fever, loss of appetite, stomach pain, nausea, swollen glands, pain in the joints, dark urine, skin rash, weight loss, liver pain (upper right side of the belly just below the rib cage). Only about 1% of people with HBV die, and most people recover completely within about 6 months. However, about 5-10% of people remain capable of spreading the virus for the rest of their lives and can develop chronic liver disease.
Hepatitis C (HCV) is caused by a virus found in the blood. Although some information about how this is passed from person to person is not clear, it is very clear that it is transmitted through blood to blood contact, such as sharing needles (to inject drugs, or for tatoos , ear-piercing, etc.). In the past, some people got Hepatitis C from blood transfusions, but today the risk is small, since blood for transfusions is screened. In a few instances, a woman has passed the virus to her baby during pregnancy or birth, but this is not common.
Most people do not realize they are infected with Hepatitis C. Very few people develop the usual symptoms of jaundice, fever, and flu-like symptoms that can last up to 6 weeks, right after getting infected. Others discover they're infected years later when they get sick and testing confirms the virus. A large percentage of people (75-80%) with Hepatitis C never clear the virus out of their body and continue to infect others.
What are the signs and symptoms of active Hepatitis infection?
Unfortunately, Hepatitis often goes undiagnosed because symptoms are mild or suggest only a flu-like illness. Many people have no symptoms at all. The only way to know for sure if you have Hepatitis is to have a blood test. Ask a doctor or needle exchange site where you can get tested, or call the National Hepatitis Hotline at 1-800-465-4837. You are usually safe to get tested within two weeks after potential exposure to know for sure.
Symptoms can include fatigue, mild fever, muscle or joint aches, nausea/vomiting, loss of appetite, mild stomach pain, loss of taste for cigarettes, diarrhea, dark urine, light-colored stools, and jaundice (skin and/or the of the eyes look yellow).
Is there a vaccine, treatment, or a cure for Hepatitis?
There are vaccines that can keep you from getting Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B. There is currently no vaccine for Hepatitis C. The vaccine for Hepatitis A consists of two shots over 6 months. The Hepatitis B vaccine consists of 3 shots over 5-6 months. To get full protection (immunity) against Hepatitis A or B, you must get all of the shots in each series.
Almost everyone infected with Hepatitis A completely recovers in about 4 to 8 weeks. There is no medication for Hepatitis A. Rest and avoiding things that are toxic to your liver (like alcohol), help the healing process. In severe cases that require hospitalization, there are medicines that can lessen the symptoms. Today, you can receive a series of three shots over six months that will vaccinate your for both Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B infections. Talk to your primary care provider or your local sexual health clinic.
There is no cure for Hepatitis B or C. However, there are treatments that can help improve the symptoms of Hepatitis B and C.
Many people use alternative or complimentary therapies such as acupuncture, herbs and vitamins to treat Hepatitis A, B, and C. Although some people report that these therapies work, their effectiveness has yet to be scientifically proven.
Where can I get Hepatitis A and B vaccines?
It is always a good idea to get screened for Hepatitis A or B antibodies before you get vaccinated to make sure you aren't already infected. Any health provider should be able to screen you or provide you with the vaccines. Some clinics will only vaccinate you if you are a certain age, if you ask, or if you are a regular patient. If you do not have a regular health provider or are having trouble finding one who will vaccinate you, you can ask your local city or county health department where to go. You can also call the National Hepatitis Hotline at 1-800-465-4837.
How can I avoid getting Hepatitis?
To prevent getting Hepatitis A:
- Get vaccinated,
- Be careful only to eat food prepared under clean conditions,
- Wash your hands thoroughly after using the bathroom and before cooking or eating, and
- Use protection when having sex (condoms, dental dams, latex gloves) especially when practicing anal sex, or combinations of anal-oral sex.
To prevent getting Hepatitis B:
- Get vaccinated,
- Use protection when having sex (condoms, dental dams, latex gloves),
- Do not share needles of any kind with others, and
- Use new, sterile syringes and equipment .
To prevent getting Hepatitis C:
- Avoid contact with other people's blood,
- Do not share needles of any kind with others, and
- Don't share toothbrushes, razors, or other personal articles that might contain blood.

October 2015: The End of the Swipe-and-Sign Credit Card
(We have updated this article to reflect the fact that customers will still be able to sign for credit card payments after October 2015.)
It's a payment ritual as familiar as handing over a $20 bill, and it's soon to go extinct: prepare to say farewell to the swipe-and-sign of a credit card transaction.
Beginning later next year, you will stop swiping the credit card. Instead, you will insert your card into a slot, just like people do in much of the rest of the world, where the machine will read a microchip, not a magnetic stripe. You'll still be signing for the time being, but the new system also enables the use of PIN numbers, if card issuers decide to add them to their cards.
The U.S. is the last major market to still use the old-fashioned swiping system, and it's a big reason why almost half the world's credit card fraud happens in America, despite the country being home to about a quarter of all credit card transactions.
We spoke with MasterCard's Carolyn Balfany, the company's expert on all things related to the new payment system, known as EMV, that will lead to the end of the swipe-and-sign and the beginning of the chip-and-PIN. The full Q&A, after the jump…

NCBA, PLC Call for Full Delisting of Wolves Nationwide
WASHINGTON -The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) and the Public Lands Council (PLC) expressed support for today's proposal by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to remove the gray wolf from the list of threatened and endangered species. The livestock associations added, however, that Mexican wolves in the Southwest should also be delisted. In their announcement, FWS stated the Mexican wolf will remain on the list of endangered species.
The wolf, placed on the list of endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) over three decades ago, has far surpassed FWS recovery goals across the country, according to NCBA President and Wyoming rancher, Scott George. He added that, unlike most other species listed under the ESA, wolves pose a serious threat to wildlife, humans and private property, especially livestock.
"It's time to turn management over to the states," said George. "Wolf depredation of livestock is increasing to untenable levels in areas where wolves are still protected. We were given relief in Wyoming when it was finally delisted here. It's only fair to allow all producers across the country that same relief."
According to FWS, the proposal to delist the gray wolf comes after a "comprehensive review confirmed its successful recovery following management actions undertaken by federal, state and local partners." However, FWS added that it intends to maintain protection status and expand recovery efforts for the Mexican wolf in the Southwest.
PLC President Brice Lee, a rancher from Colorado, said that wolves in the Southwest have also recovered and do not warrant federal protection.
"The wolf population in Arizona and New Mexico has almost doubled in the last three years, thanks to the work of the state fish and game departments," Lee said. "We feel that at a certain point, it's possible to over-study and over-capture these animals. It's time to stop with these government studies and allow them be truly wild, while the state departments continue their successful management."
Lee stated that the FWS does not have the resources to continue managing the wolf as endangered, let alone compensate ranchers for their losses. Studies have shown, he said, that for every confirmed kill of livestock there are seven to eight that go unconfirmed.
"We appreciate FWS' recognition that the gray wolf is recovered," George stated. "But it's also time to end the unwarranted listing of Mexican wolf. Wolf depredation threatens ranchers' livelihoods and rural communities, as well as the economies relying on a profitable agricultural industry."

I was prompted to recall a time when I felt gut-wrenching nervousness. And as I start to gear up for the 3rd (!) Kamloops Timeraiser it is easy to recall such a situation.
When I heard about the Timeraiser – an event created by Framework in Toronto 11 years ago – I thought to myself: 'this has to come Kamloops'. After pursuing the Timeraiser organization for over a year to bring their event to Kamloops, they eventually decided they wouldn't bring here – but I could host it myself. Awesome – I love hosting parties, but for this particular event I needed money and support.
So after socializing the idea and finding support, the day actually came when my first sponsor, NRI Distribution, sent me a $5000 sponsorship cheque.
Fear, disbelief, apprehension, insecurity – all welled up inside me. Are they crazy putting this much faith in me to pull this off? Can I pull this off? What I do next? How do I pay him back if I screw up? Eek!
But whenever I am under pressure – life becomes clearer… Just focus on the next step. I can't say I felt optimistic or that the fear disappeared, but I knew that if I just kept doing the right steps one after the other I would get the job done.
And I did! And at some point in the following weeks I started to get excited knowing it would work out. Those feelings of fear changed to pride, gratitude, excitement, enthusiasm and relief!

Music videos don't have to be good to go viral on the Web — in fact, they can be so bad that you can't help but stare slack-jawed at 3:48 of pure sh– um, shenanigans.
Case in point: The new video for "Friday" by Rebecca Black, which exploded over the weekend as people found what may be the ultimate combination of horrible lyrics, horrible songwriting, horrible auto-tuning (apparently to hide horrible singing), horrible cameo (who is that?), horrible visual effects, horrible dancing and horrible horribleness. It's so horrible, people are wondering whether the production is real or if it's an elaborate joke.
According to reports — because I'd never heard of Rebecca Black or Ark Music Factory before this fateful day — the 13-year-old is the first singer to emerge from a new Hollywood-based online network and record label that is aiming to pump out tween pop. A noble and exciting cause, I'm sure, for aspiring young artists, but man … just check out the video below.
Update: No one really seems to know who the rapper is. Many bloggers thought it was Usher. Any ideas?
The video — released on Friday, of course — tallied more than 2 million views on YouTube over the weekend. Most of those, it seems, were people just interested in viewing an absolute train wreck.
Then again, views are views, whether they're for good reasons or bad. Black has gone viral regardless. Which is great for a hopeful teenager with dreams of making it big in music. Good for her.
But the unforgiving online masses haven't been as minimally sympathetic as my previous paragraph. As is expected these days, Black's song and video inspired scores of parody videos. Some of the best are posted below. And Twitter — oh man, there's some brutal stuff under the #RebeccaBlack hashtag, which was trending all weekend.

How-To Guide: Min-Max Your Unit's Stats
This is a beginner's guide on how you should generally be statting your units, some reasoning behind it and which you should choose for your team composition. These are more guidelines and goalposts, so change according to your playstyle. If you're an experienced player, this is not meant for you sorry :P I'll be using abbreviations so look them up here if you're not familiar with the terminology: https://bannersaga.wikidot.com/glossary. Skip the overview if you want to get straight down to numbers!
Overview of Stats
Armor: Used to mitigate damage. Usually targetted first before strength (exception generally being archers). Think of it simplified to this: Doing -4 Armor on a target, will do +4 Str damage on every subsequent str hit to it. The magic numbers are 7 and 12. Why? The most common break is 5 (BM,SA,SM) and 4 (RM,SS,BB), resulting in 7-8 leftover armor. Anything lower would give extra damage to archers and be easy targets to pick off. Is it wise to build your team around a single unit? While you may not see a BB or TH in every setup, you'll always see an armor breaking archer.
Strength: Your Health and Damage, arguably the most important stat in the game. While its a good idea to increase str to that unit's max value, a lot of units (RM, SBs) use armor as a cushion instead.
Willpower: The stat you want to minimize efficiently. You don't want a unit to die with extra WP, nor do you want to have living units with no WP. Should also consider the horn - balance the amount of units that can rely on their own WP pool and units that usually use horn for extra WP (archers, TH)
Exertion: Another stat you want to minimize efficiently, as it is also a waste to go too high. Recommend minimum 2 on Warriors (to get first hit and ensure your warrior isn't outranged by their warrior).
Break: Bring down enemy's armor, so your damage dealers can maximize their str damage. Because of this order, breakers (RM,SM) are usually earlier in your team's lineup, while the damage dealers are usually last. The exception to this rule is archers, who deal high AB, but then translate that armor break into high puncture str damage, so they can be put anywhere in the order.
MIN-MAXING Attributes:
[A] Archers
[1] BowMaster (Damage Dealer, Breaker)
-Break at distance, the longer the game goes on the stronger they get.
Common Builds: Armor/Str/WP/Exertion/AB
-Higher break leading to Early-Mid game Puncture damage
-common practice to leave at 7armor, since at 8/9armor enemy archers still do 1 dmg relatively safe
-Lower EX for more WP, for Mid-Late game team comp that draws out game
-Better for archer vs archer standoffs lategame
-Break should always be at 2, Str should always be maxed on BM, high ex without sustainable WP
[2] Siege Archer (Damage Dealer, Breaker)
-Like BM, but less damage potential (7str) trade off for being unmaimable (use ability if low str)
Common Builds: Armor/Str/WP/Exertion/AB
-Like BM but unmaimable, sometimes safer to do 2BM+SA than 3BM
-Better for longevity/late game teamp comp
-Better vs other archers, gets into range to maim them while ppl may hesitate to maim back for 80%/90%
-'suicidal archer',popularized by OJM, combine with WL to deal 5AB three times or sacrificed to gain turn advantage
-Use r2 ability primarily, Combine with SRM and push enemy varl onto multiple coals
-can do up to +3str dmg on contact, then additional +3str dmg when its the varl's turn
-good for high armor/low str varls, completely bypasses armor to kill
[3] SkyStriker (Damage Dealer, Breaker)
-Lower AB for more crowd/map control, very circumstantial but can block or allow for some game-changing moves.
-Best used at r2 or r3 in combination with PK or SRM
Common Builds: Armor/Str/WP/Exertion/AB
-Standard spec, high WP for RoA early game and AB when gap is closed
-No break, in favor of higher damage potential, reliant on AB-heavy team comp
-Used in what I call the "Rain of Malice" combo, Place r3 arrow, use PK to move target onto it.
-Even better to use 2 SS and place two r3 arrows on same tile
-AP's build, A more diverse SS that isnt as reliant on Malice combo
[B.] Raiders
[1] Raidmaster (Breaker, DD)
-Safe advance, support own unit wall protecting your archers or flank to maim enemy archers
Common Builds: Armor/Str/WP/Exertion/AB
-Standard breaker, high survivability to continue to break as long as possible
-Higher break for less survivability, requires good positioning and shieldwall procs
-Anti-archer unit, continue to stonewall and advance till you reach enemy archers
-good in combination with SRM for push through enemy varl wall
-very good breaker
[2] Thrasher (DD, Hybrid)
-Deal str damage early game, transitions to flail mid-game, still good vs archers, unmaimable
Common Builds: Armor/Str/WP/Exertion/AB
-good for early game and first hits on warrior
-1WP can do 3AB or flail for 3-4 stat dmg, but this is better vs SBs who are anti-flail
-AP's TH build, very intimidating and can threaten from long distances
[3] Backbiter (DD, Hybrid)
-Anti-archer but requires good positioning and sometimes enemy mistakes
very good at r3. more of a jack-of-all-trades but doesnt excel at anything
Common Builds: Armor/Str/WP/Exertion/AB
-acts like raidmaster breaker, but trades safe advance for potential runthroughs
-Wait for opening, one way trip to shoot at archers, when maimed do AB instead
-good all-around, can limit enemy archer movement greatly
[C] Shieldbangers
[1] Shieldmaster (Meatshield, Breaker)
-Break, survive as long as possible, try to make attacks less desirable under RtF
Common Builds: Armor/Str/WP/Exertion/AB
-used as pseudo-warrior, use RtF when expecting incoming damage
-truthfully not as effective, but will always catch ppl offguard expecting a breaker
[2] Strongarm (Meatshield, Hybrid, DD)
-Either used as crowd-control/breaker or pseudo-warrior
Common Builds: Armor/Str/WP/Exertion/AB
-Used like a warrior, with less movement range, requires good positioning/shuffling
-Used as meatshield
[3] Provoker (Meatshield, Breaker)
-Best used as crowdcontrol/meatshield, good combo with SS
-Instead of doing -4AB to you, prevents enemy breaker from doing -4AB to you (by provoking)
-if wanting 3AB, I'd reason that SM is a better choice but Malice does provide more options
-AP's build for PK if you'd like a more diverse multi-role PK
[D] Warriors
[1] Warhawk (Damage Dealer)
-Get in deep and twirl baby twirl.
Common Builds: Armor/Str/WP/Exertion/AB
-2ex for first hit and boxing out enemy warriors, 3WP required to tempest after 2ex movement
-avoids earlygame, kept safe at distance until you have good turn advantage
[2] Warmaster (Damage Dealer)
-less maimable than other 2 warriors, better suited for early-mid game rather than waiting for turn advantage end-game
Common Builds: Armor/Str/WP/Exertion/AB
-standard, OK to keep safe till end-game but less chance for grouped-up SI hits
[3] Warleader (Damage Dealer)
-Very niche unit, used in combination with breaker(generally archers),PK, or 2nd warrior
Common Builds: Armor/Str/WP/Exertion/AB
-maximize dmg but easily maimable
-Don't use warrior as breaker, better off using SBs which have 2 more stat point

I have been making a bit of an effort to buy more additive-free and organic pantry items. I have started keeping my eyes peeled for organic/additive-free products in the supermarket. My food philosophy tends to be eat as healthy as possible with what is available. You should be able to find some of these items in your local supermarket. I have found a lot of additive-free and organic food at the local OK Supermarket, a discount supermarket.
Organic soy sauce
有機しょうゆ (ゆうき しょうゆ yuuki shouyu)
I have been using this soy sauce for a couple of weeks and I like it. It is made by Yamasa which is the company I usually buy non-organic soy sauce. This is a picture of the bag it was sold in.
Additive-free sausages
無添加 ソーセージ (むてんか ソーセージ mutenka souseeji)
I spotted this about a week ago for the first time and tried them. They taste like normal chemical laden sausages. They were about 270 yen for one pack so they are a bit more expensive than regular sausages.
Additive-free potato chips
無添加ポテトチップス (むてんか ぽてと ちっぷす mutenka poteto chippusu)
My husband got into these before I had a chance to eat them. He said they tasted good.
(Mostly) Organic soy sauce
有機しょうゆ (ゆうき しょうゆ yuuki shouyu)
This one is made from organic soy beans but all other ingredients are not organic. I have never made soy sauce before so I can't say how much non-organic material is in the soy sauce.
Organic Coffee
有機コーヒー (ゆうき こうひい yuuki kouhii)
I don't drink coffee so I will not be able to review it but it is there for you to try.
Organic natto
有機納豆 (ゆうき なっとう yuuki nattou)
Another product I can't stomach but the boys of the house love it. Aside from OK Supermarket, which sells organic natto for the same price as non-organic, supermarkets seem to sell organic natto in two packs for the same price as a three pack of non-organic. Not too bad if you don't go through a lot.
Do you have a favorite organic or additive-free product? Please leave a comment (preferably with a link to a picture) below in the comments.

The Financial Aid Office is here to assist you with understanding and obtaining financial aid. Below, we have provided an explanation of each award, along with eligibility, application procedures and deadlines. Please contact the Financial Aid Office if you have any questions.
The types of financial aid available to students attending UCLA School of Law are:
Dean's Scholarship
Instructions for students entering their 1L year in the Fall 2020 (students currently enrolled at UCLA School of Law should visit MyLaw).
All admitted students are considered for a Dean's Scholarship. In determining the scholarship amount, both merit and financial need can be considered. Any Dean's scholarship you receive is for all three years and there is no need to reapply in future years. No new applications will be accepted in the 2L and 3L years.
Merit Component
Before we can determine your eligibility for merit, all admitted students must complete the Dean's Scholarship Consideration Form, provided to you by the Law School Admission's Office. No additional application is needed for merit consideration.
Need Component
UCLA School of Law has a generous need component providing significant assistance to domestic students with financial need. Each case is individually considered, but a student who qualifies for a Dean's scholarship based on both, merit and need, will generally receive a larger total gift award. Thus, if you are unsure whether you will qualify for a need award, we strongly encourage you to apply, even if you believe you will also qualify for merit.
Our need awarding process takes into account both a student's and his or her parents' financial resources. In order to help the law school's Financial Aid Office estimate the likely contribution from students and parents, students and parents complete the FAFSA and the Law School Financial Need application both of which collect data about the family profile. Some of the variables utilized include, among other things, family size, assets, and income.
Application Instructions:
As part of the need application admitted students and/or their parents are required to upload their 2018 Tax Return Transcripts (foreign transcripts/tax returns cannot be evaluated). In the rare case when a tax return transcript is not available, the school may accept a signed copy of the 2018 Federal Tax Return along with Schedules 1, 2 and 3, if applicable. Hard copies of tax documents will not be accepted. Please note that all SSNs must be redacted and the student's UCLA UID number should be included on each tax transcript/tax return submitted (UCLA UID number is provided at the time of admission).
Admitted students and/or parents who had U.S. income in 2018 but did not file a U.S. federal tax return must note this on the FAFSA. In lieu of federal tax return transcripts parents must upload to the need application the IRS verification of non-filing. The verification documentation may be requested from the IRS by submitting form 4506-T. Upon review, additional documentation may be requested. Students who did not file a 2018 U.S. Federal Tax Return are able to attach a self-certified statement in lieu of verification of non-filing.
Even though your SSN is not required on the admission application, the school will not receive your FAFSA and thus will be unable to determine your need eligibility unless you provide us with your SSN. If you have omitted the SSN from your admission application, please contact the Admission's Office at (310) 825-2080 to add it to your application.
The determination of your financial need award will only be possible once you have been admitted, and both the FAFSA and the need application have been completed.
Criteria for determining submission of parent information:
Students must provide parents' information on the Law School Financial Need application and FAFSA unless they fall into one of the following categories:
Students who do not fit the above criteria and do not provide parents' information on the need application/FAFSA or do not upload the required tax documents will not be considered for a need award.
The FAFSA and the Financial Need application should be submitted as early as possible after January 1.
UCLA Law Donor-Funded Scholarships
This donor-supported program consists of numerous endowments and scholarships funded by UCLA School of Law alumni and friends, as well as law firms in our community. The consideration for these scholarships will take place during your admission process.
Non-University Scholarships
A number of students each year receive non-university scholarships from a variety of organizations, agencies, companies and private individuals; these are not administered by UCLA School of Law. Criteria may include academic achievement, special talent, leadership ability, and group affiliation. UCLA School of Law makes information available to students concerning outside scholarship opportunities as it becomes available.
You can also visit the useful links page to gain access to outside scholarship search engines.
Teaching Assistantships
Through UCLA's Graduate Division, advanced graduate and professional students have an excellent opportunity to gain practical teaching and tutoring experience in departments outside of the law school while earning an income to offset the cost of their tuition and fees. In-state students who are employed 45 percent or more are entitled to a fee remission of 75 percent of the Education Fee, a fee remission of 75 percent of the Registration Fee, and a fee remission of 100 percent of the Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan. These fee remissions significantly reduce the student's out-of-pocket expenses for the academic year. This reduction may, in turn, affect a student's total loan eligibility.
For more information and to obtain an application, please visit the Graduate Division website.
Summer Public Interest Fellowships
UCLA School of Law, through an array of sources, provides summer grants to first-and second-year students who engage in otherwise unpaid internships with nonprofit organizations or public sector agencies and offices. The student-run Public Interest Law Fund (PILF) specifically raises money to provide summer fellowships to students engaged in internships with nonprofit organizations. The school, through other funding sources, supplements the money annually raised by PILF. To be eligible for the Summer Public Service Fellowship, students must have an offer of summer employment from a nonprofit organization or government agency or office before the fellowship application deadline. Last year, UCLA School of Law funded approximately 250 students who applied for summer grants.
FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a government form which enables the school to determine students' eligibility for federal loans (Direct Unsubsidized and Graduate PLUS). The FAFSA must be completed each year by all who wish to be considered for federal financial aid at UCLA.
Completing the FAFSA online reduces errors and improves turnaround time. You can do this by going to studentaid.gov. Request that a copy of the FAFSA be released to UCLA by indicating our school code: 001315.
The FAFSA should be submitted as early as possible after January 1. Newly admitted students who are applying for the need-based component of the Dean's Scholarship should provide both the student's and parents' information on the FAFSA. Admitted students who file a FAFSA will receive an electronic Provisional Award Letter (ePAL) in late March. Students filing applications after late March will receive an ePAL on a rolling basis.
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan
The Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan program enables qualified graduate and professional students to receive up to $20,500 in a federally guaranteed loan. For the 2020-21 academic year, the Direct Unsubsidized Loan has an interest rate of 4.30 percent and a loan fee of 1.059 percent for loans disbursed before October 1, 2020. The federal government will automatically deducted the loan fee from each disbursement; therefore, your original (gross) amount requested and the disbursed (net) amount will differ.
The student is responsible for the interest, which accrues immediately upon disbursement. Repayment begins six months after graduation or upon dropping below half-time enrollment.
All applicants must submit a FAFSA in order to be considered. Once the FAFSA has been processed and the data has been received by UCLA, the borrower will receive an electronic Financial Aid Notification (eFAN) indicating the types and the amounts of financial aid offered.
The U.S. Department of Education allows all eligible recipients to receive a lifetime amount of $138,500, including Undergraduate and Graduate Federal Loans. However, no more than $65,500 can come from the Federal Subsidized Loan.
Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan
Graduate and professional students are allowed to borrow through a Federal Direct Graduate PLUS (GPLUS) Loan. For the 2020-21 academic year; the GPLUS loan has an interest rate of 5.30 percent and a loan fee of 4.236 percent for loans disbursed before October 1, 2020. The federal government will automatically deduct the loan fee from each disbursement; therefore, your original (gross) amount requested and the disbursed (net) amount will differ.
The GPLUS Loan does not have annual or aggregate loan limits (other than the cost of attendance less other financial aid) but requires a credit review. Just as with the Direct Unsubsidized Loan, GPLUS borrowers are eligible for an in-school deferment if they are enrolled at least half-time. The GPLUS has the same payment options, the same deferments and forbearances, and the same cancellation provisions as a Direct Unsubsidized Loan. The student is responsible for the interest, which accrues immediately upon disbursement. Repayment begins six months after graduation or upon dropping below half-time enrollment.
All applicants must submit a FAFSA in order to be considered. Once the FAFSA has been processed and the data has been received by UCLA, the borrower will receive an electronic Financial Aid Notification (eFAN) indicating the types and the amounts of financial aid offered.
How is APR different than an interest rate?
In most cases, you have seen APR (Annual Percentage Rate) related to private loans, car loans and your credit card. What you are being charged for your loan isn't actually just an interest rate; it's really the APR. So, what is the APR?
The APR is the annual cost of your loan. It includes the interest rate and certain fees. In order to accurately compare the cost of loans, you should always compare the APRs rather than just the interest rates.
Entrance Counseling
Important! All first-time federal loan borrowers at UCLA need to be informed about borrowers' rights and responsibilities. Law students will satisfy this requirement by completing an online Entrance Counseling Session. This can be accomplished by reviewing the counseling session materials and taking an online quiz. All quiz results are transmitted electronically to the UCLA Student Loan Services and Collections Office.
Please be sure to indicate "UCLA, University of California, Los Angeles" as your institution when registering your account to ensure that you are directed to the entrance exam.
Failure to follow through with this requirement will delay disbursement of your eligible Federal Direct Loan proceeds.
Credit-Based Private Loans
Federal student loans are available to most students regardless of income and provide a range of repayment options, including income-based repayment plans and loan forgiveness benefits, which other education loans are not required to provide.
Some students find it necessary to finance a portion of their education through private loan sources. These lenders offer loans to offset the cost of attending law school. The loan terms are printed directly on the application and also are governed by federal and state lending regulations. The choice of lender rests solely with the student, but he/she will need to meet the lender's credit requirements. Please see UCLA's Preferred Lender List and Code of Conduct – Preferred Lenders.
Bar Loans
Law students may apply for Bar Loans for the period after graduation when they are studying for the bar. A Bar loan is an unsecured consumer loan offered to graduating law school students to assist with expenses related to the bar process. These related expenses may include the following: bar examination fees, bar review courses, and living expenses during the period after graduation and prior to being notified of the exam results.
Bar Loan interest rates are generally higher than those of federal and private loans. Students should review the product guidelines and repayment options before applying. See UCLA's Preferred Lenders List for a list of Bar Loan lenders.
Please note: For graduates needing to obtain a Bar Loan after graduation, when using UCLA's Preferred Lender List (ELM Select), please indicate that your graduation date will be in the future in order to obtain a potential list of lenders that offer this product.

This would be great, I think the hold up is with Garmin though. The new wahoo elemnt can sync routes wirelessly from strava, and pretty much any other way you can think of, ridewithgps, dropbox etc.
The technology and hardware is there and should be very easy, Garmin are really missing a trick here and I'm tempted to ditch them and get a wahoo.
+1 for this
I believe Garmin may be considering this functionality - thanks for the request Rama!
Any updates with this?
I would love this, and i've been considering moving to the Wahoo Elemnt for this, but even they do not have turn by turn with Strava routes synced over the web.
Anyway, it looks like Garmin are opening up the ability for developers to do this on their connect IQ enabled devices. Strava would have to build an app for the Edge to enable the sync. I took this quote from the latest Edge 1000 beta software change log...
- New feature: Downloadable Content. Connect IQ developers now have the ability to download Workouts, Courses, and Waypoints from the web and add them to the device from their app.
This is in the works, be sure to follow this post for updates on syncing Strava Routes to your Garmin.
Looking forward to this - hope it will be implemented as a full sync with Garmin Connect, rather than a ConnectIQ app that can pull routes from Strava as that would rule out all but the most recent Edge units. AFAIK, none of the current Forerunners or the Fenix 3's will support downloaded persistent content from ConnectIQ.
I am also very much looking forward to this! I hope that the Forerunner 735xt also gets some love as it supports CIQ 2.0 and the persistent downloads necessary.
I hope it works the same way as the Segments sync functionality. Meaning "star" a Route on Strava and auto-magically have it appear as a "Course" on the 735xt ...
What Mario said +1
If your Garmin supports IQ apps, you can use dw maps to sync strava routes via your phone's bluetooth connection.
Problem being the step to export the route created in strava. Nice app though
You have to connect your account to Strava. After this, you can download all starred routes from the app on your device.
Thanks Benedikt. I personally don't like CIQ Apps in general (no offence for your excellent work) so I am simply waiting for Garmin to provide native support for Strava Routes the same way they support Strava Segments.
3 months have passed without any update. It would be nice to provide status for this task and maybe for other planed features for premium members as well.
@Marios: it's not my work and I don't really like the IQ apps either. I would definiteley prefer a native solution by either Garmin or Strava but that doesn't seem to happen :(. So in the meanwhile I use this one.
+1 for the feature
And to follow...
Hope this feature is available soon :)
Without this, my Garmin 820 doesn't come close to delivering what I need from it.
Which product manager/owner do we have to annoy/bribe/stalk to the get this in the next sprint? I'm sure we can even write the use case and user stories - just give us the format :D
I love my Garmin devices and I love Strava wanted to get a update on this as well. I route lead Tuesdays and Thursdays at night when mapping is especially important. We have riders in 3 distinct groups that I want riding the same route and we all have Gamins and use Strava. I would love to have a route sync much like my activities sync. Both services have good and bad so they would both benefit from the collaboration.
need this for sure
Any updates on this?
Elle Anderson, any official update on this? Rough timeline?
This would be fantastic.
It could be a very useful enhancement
Just checking on whether there is a seamless download from Strava to Garmin 1000? If not, please post setp by step directions on how to accomplish.
Really want to see this functionality. Garmin, don't make me get an Elemnt Bolt!
This would be a very useful feature!
It is verging on criminal that this functionality hasnt been available for months even years already. It is so basic. My Garmin cost 400 gbp and i cant even transfer a route from strava to garmin connect on my phone to my garmin device without a pc.
Seriously are we living in the stoneage? It's truly pathetic..
Reasons i need this:
My mac never connects to my garmin for some reason. My work pc doesn't allow external usb connections for security reasons. I dont always have a pc with me...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Russ Smith ranked Louisville's 80-77 victory over Kentucky on Saturday as one of the five favorites of his career.
Makes sense, considering he played a key role in ending the No. 4 Cardinals' four-game losing streak against the rival Wildcats.
Smith scored 21 points, including five of Louisville's final 13, along with seven rebounds to help the Cardinals hold off Kentucky in an up-and-down game.
The effort comes nearly a year after he came off the bench to score 30 in the Cardinals' 69-62 loss to the Wildcats in Lexington, one of two defeats last season to their in-state rivals that included last season's national semifinal. Kentucky went on to win its eighth national championship.
''This one probably ranks as one of the top five biggest wins of my life,'' said the junior guard, whose list includes last season's NCAA regional final, the round of 16 and Louisville's two wins that clinched the Big East Conference championship last March.
''We know where we messed up and we know the mistakes we made, but at the end of the day it's a win. It's not a conference win but it's a great non-conference win. It's a great win for the city. We're actually more happy for our fans than for ourselves. ... I guess revenge is the word, but it feels good beating the team that knocked you out of the Final Four.''
Especially since that team, Kentucky, resides about 80 miles east and had recently owned the Battle of the Bluegrass. Louisville now has bragging rights, and Smith had help in getting them for the Cardinals.
Sophomore forward Chane Behanan had 20 points, seven rebounds and three steals, including a steal of Archie Goodwin's pass that led to his dunk with 18 seconds remaining that sealed the victory for Louisville (12-1) before a KFC Yum! Center crowd of 22,810.
''I feel like I could have done better,'' said Behanan, who had been banned from talking to the media this fall by coach Rick Pitino. ''I took a lot of plays off throughout the game. I feel as though I could have gotten a lot more rebounds than I did. In a game like that you just give it your all to win it.
''It was my third time playing them. It just feels good to win, not for me but the city too.''
Before fouling out Peyton Siva added 19 points for the Cardinals, who had to withstand several charges from Kentucky.
The Wildcats trailed 51-34 but outscored the Cardinals 28-14 to get within 65-62 before Smith's two baskets keyed an 8-5 run that gave Louisville some breathing room.
The Cardinals won despite four fouls by Smith and center Gorgui Dieng, who returned from a seven-game absence with a broken left wrist. The junior had six points, seven rebounds and two blocks.
''A great win for us because we had to battle a lot of bad foul trouble,'' Pitino said. ''We survived with good plays from Chane and Russ. The offense and defense in the first half was spectacular then we lost our defensive presence in the second half because we were worried about foul trouble.''
Goodwin scored 19 of his 22 points in the second half for Kentucky (8-4) and Ryan Harrow added 17 points.
Poor foul shooting hurt the Wildcats' comeback. They shot just 11 of 23 (48 percent) from the line, matching their percentage from the field.
Kentucky trailed 77-74 following a rare four-point play as Goodwin was fouled by Siva as he made a 3-pointer.
Kentucky coach John Calipari didn't call timeout after that, and Goodwin's turnover followed.
''Believe me, I was standing there thinking timeout and didn't call it,'' Calipari said. ''That was the end of the game. I told them this one was on me and hopefully I'll do a better job.
''Stuff like that happens and I take responsibility. They (Louisville) deserved to win. But I didn't give our guys the chance they deserved with the way they played down the stretch.''
Louisville also shot 48 percent from the field, but made 17 of 25 from the free throw line to win its seventh straight.
As might be expected from bitter in-state rivals, the early minutes were physical and intense with six ties and five lead changes. There were lineup changes for both teams.
Kentucky started 7-foot freshman Willie Cauley-Stein alongside 6-10 Nerlens Noel for the first time in an effort to establish a post presence against the Cardinals.
The Wildcats' move might have been a pre-emptive one with Louisville expected to start the 6-11 Dieng.
The Cardinals instead started 6-10 Zach Price but Dieng entered the game just 1:43 in and quickly made his presence felt with three rebounds, a block and a dunk that helped give Louisville a 12-10 lead.
Unfortunately for the Cardinals, the junior soon picked up his second foul and was replaced by Montrezl Harrell, who had seven points and four rebounds.
Louisville started 6 of 16 from the field and trailed 18-12, but went on a 13-2 run led by Behanan, who scored six points. He scored 11 points to help give the Cardinals a 36-28 lead at the half.
Kentucky came back behind three 3-pointers each by Kyle Wiltjer (14 points) and Goodwin, who finished 8 of 15 from the field. But Louisville survived because of a defense that forced 15 turnovers leading to 19 points and the end of a frustrating losing streak for the Cardinals and their fans.
''It finally gets the monkey off your back,'' Siva said. ''You can stop thinking about it now and go out and play you don't have to get heckled by fans everywhere you go. For our fans this is like a national championship game. This feels good for them.''

While I've been focused on learning to fold an umbrella stroller with a baby on my chest, a bag on my shoulder, and a two-year old in my grasp (more on that in a future post), the transit world has continued to turn–sometimes around unpleasant corners.
I haven't been able to bring myself to watch the video of the tunnel beating, but I've been paying attention to the discussion. It feels very close to home and very threatening, both because the victim turned out to be the cousin of a family friend, and because it happened on the heels of the assault I recently witnessed on the 4. I've never felt that the tunnel was particularly safe,* but that was mostly because of the stairwells and other areas where it would be easy to corner someone. I certainly didn't think that a major assault could happen on the platform, in front of several witnesses.** Then again, that's what I said last month.
On a happier note, Clarence from Streetfilms paid a visit to our fair city earlier this month. He came to check out Link and has posted some cool videos from his trip (including one of him biking with Mayor MCGinn) on the Streetfilms site.
More catching up to come.
UPDATE, 3/4: The Link video's up.
* For me, stops and stations have always felt much less safe than buses–for a variety of reasons.
In this case, they were witnesses who were paid to prevent such an assault from happening–or so we thought. Now, of course, there's an outcry about the quality of tunnel security and transit security in general. (We'll see what happens with the new contractor.) Lord knows I want buses to be safe (and how!) but as far as I know, no one's offering up additional sources of funding.

Evaluated data sets are produced through the process of critical comparison, selection renormalization and averaging of the available experimental data, normally complemented by nuclear model calculations.
Evaluated libraries are files of evaluated data which, appropriately processed, form the input data to computations for a wide variety of nuclear science and technology applications. Each of these evaluated libraries may consist of individual evaluated data sets for several hundred isotopes or elements. An index with descriptions of available evaluated nuclear data general and special purpose libraries is found on the link below:
EXFOR is the name given to the database containing experimental reaction data. In addition to storing the data and it's bibliographic information, experimental information, including source of uncertainties, is also compiled.
The data presently included in the EXFOR database include:
Bibliographic reaction data are entered into the CINDA database.
Nuclear structure data refer to the properties of single nuclei, as opposed to reaction data which deals with the properties of a nucleus interacting with radiation or another nucleus.
Numerical data related to nuclear structure are available in the ENSDF and NUDAT databases.
Bibliographic information on nuclear structure is found in the NSR database. The experimental and evaluated information stored in the numerical databases, such as NUDAT and ENSDF, have been compiled on the basis of the result of experiments and reviews published in a variety of scientific journals and reports. The bibliographic databases contain cross references between the information stored in the numerical databases and the original articles on which these data are based.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (seminoles.com) – The 13th-ranked Florida State indoor volleyball team used an uninterrupted 14-0 run in the fourth set to finish off conference opponent Wake Forest on Saturday afternoon at Reynolds Gym in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Leading the match 2-1 overall, the Seminoles (24-3, 15-2) began to lose momentum after falling in the third set and trailing 14-11 in the fourth. From there, an inspired run of 14 consecutive points was sparked by senior outside hitter Fatma Yildirim, who finished with a match-high 17 kills to lead Florida State offensively. In the big run, Yildirim posted four kills and one block in helping the Seminoles maintain a tie for first place with Miami in the ACC standings with just three regular-season matches left.
"We struggled a lot today," head coach Chris Poole said. "We couldn't seem to get into a good flow until the very end of the match. We will certainly take the win but need to be more consistent with our play. Credit Wake Forest for playing us hard and forcing a lot of long rallies. We've been gone a lot the past five weeks so it will be nice to get back home."
Florida State, which wore its pink jerseys in support of Wake Forest head coach Heather Kahl Holmes, is now 12-2 in road matches this season. Junior middle blocker Ashley Neff had another strong defensive effort with seven blocks while adding nine kills for Florida State. Senior middle blocker Sareea Freeman had 10 kills, a .318 hitting percentage and three blocks.
Redshirt sophomore libero Katie Mosher had 11 digs for Florida State, showing 1,020 career digs in her young career that already places her in 10th place on the school's all-time list. Junior outside hitter Olivera Medic chipped in with eight kills and 14 digs, while senior right-side hitter Marija Milosavljevic posted six kills, four digs and four blocks.
Sophomore setter Sarah Wickstrom recorded 27 assists for Florida State, while senior Duygu Duzceler added 26. Florida State improved to 27-7 all-time against the Demon Deacons (10-19, 4-13).
Wake Forest made life difficult for Florida State at times with its blocking, showing 11.5 team blocks to the Seminoles' 10. The 11.5 blocks against Florida State were the second-most by an opponent this season.
Wake Forest's Andrea Beck had a superb effort on Saturday, recording 15 kills, a .500 hitting percentage and five blocks.
A late substitution by freshman Nicole Walch proved valuable for the Seminoles in the first set as Florida State edged Wake Forest 25-23. Leading 22-20, Walch entered the match and joined on a double block by Neff to put Florida State ahead 23-20. Consecutive kills by Wake Forest's Ashlee Rusk cut Florida State's lead to 23-22, but a service error by Danae Rosendall gave the Seminoles set point at 24-22. Following a service error by the Seminoles, Walch ended the set with a timely kill to put Florida State ahead 1-0 overall.
Neff put together four kills and two blocks in the second frame as Florida State won in more convincing fashion to take a 2-0 overall lead. Tied early at 6-6, a key 4-0 run that was capped by a kill from Yildirim allowed Florida State some breathing room at 10-6. After Wake Forest tied the set again at 15-15, Florida State strung together three consecutive points courtesy of a Wake Forest attack error and a service error. A kill by Neff ended the set heading into the intermission.
Florida State never led in the third set as it lost 25-19, falling victim to six Wake Forest blocks. The Demon Deacons got off to a good start, taking an 11-5 lead on a kill by Rusk. The lead swelled to 21-14 on an attack error by Florida State, and another hitting error by the Seminoles ended the third set.
The Seminoles look to finish strong in their final three matches of the regular season, all at Tully Gym. Florida State gets back to the court on Friday, Nov. 16 versus Maryland at 7 p.m., followed by a 1 p.m. match against Boston College on Nov. 18. Florida State ends the regular season hosting rival Miami on Friday, Nov. 23 at 1 p.m.

Nesty "La Mente Maestra" (born Ernesto F. Padilla on September 5, 1973) is a Puerto Rican reggaeton music producer. He is currently signed with Machete Music. He was closely associated with reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel and reggaeton producer Victor "El Nasi". Nesty began his recording career as an associate of reggaeton hitmakers Luny Tunes during the early to mid-2000s. Known simply as Nesty, he made a name for himself apart from Luny Tunes with a pair of hit singles in 2005: "Chulin Culin Chunfly" (Voltio ft. Calle 13) and "Eso Ehh...!!" (Alexis & Fido).
In 2006, Nesty produced tracks for high-profile albums by Don Omar (King of Kings) and Tego Calderón (The Underdog/El Subestimado), including the hit single "Los Maté" by the latter. Around this same time, Nesty began a close association with Wisin & Yandel, producing much of their album Los Vaqueros, including the hit singles "Pegao," "Yo Te Quiero," and "Nadie Como Tú." In subsequent years he remained closely associated with Wisin & Yandel, producing the bulk of their album Wisin vs. Yandel: Los Extraterrestres, including the chart-topping hit single "Sexy Movimiento," and Wisin & Yandel Presentan: La Mente Maestra in which he was co-billed on the front cover of the latter album. On May 19th it was confirmed that Nesty would not participate in the re-edition of the album Los Vaqueros: El Regreso, named Reloaded.

The automated Lunar Orbiter II spacecraft lifted off from Launch Complex 13 at Cape Kennedy, Florida, on 6 November 1966. The 385.6-kilogram robot explorer arrived in near-equatorial lunar orbit on November 10 and began its mission to image 13 primary and 17 secondary candidate Apollo landing sites. All were located in rectangular zones near the lunar equator.
One of the landing site zones on Lunar Orbiter II's primary list was designated II P-6. Located in southwest Mare Tranquillitatis north of the crater Moltke, the area had already received attention from NASA spacecraft; Ranger 8 had returned 7137 images of the region as it fell toward planned destructive impact on 20 February 1965, and Surveyor V soft-landed nearby on September 11, 1967. Though pocked with smallish craters, some containing large boulders, the gray basaltic plain had virtually no slope and was relatively free of the ridges, rilles (sinuous canyons), and domes found at other mare sites. This lack of dramatic features, though off-putting from a science standpoint, made II P-6 a favorite among NASA engineers anxious to eliminate features of the landscape from the long list of perils an Apollo Lunar Module (LM) crew might encounter.
In January 1968, a little more than a year after Lunar Orbiter II successfully completed its imaging mission, A. Goetz, an engineer with Bellcomm, NASA's Washington, DC-based advance planning contractor, proposed a geologic traverse plan for an early Apollo mission to an area within the II P-6 rectangle. He dubbed his proposed landing area II P 6-1.
Goetz wrote that the mission, which he assumed would be the second Apollo landing, would include two 2.5-hour moonwalks, and that one moonwalk would be taken up with deploying the Apollo Lunar Scientific Experiment Package (ALSEP) on the lunar surface. He also assumed that the Apollo LM dispatched to II P 6-1 might land anywhere within an ellipse about eight kilometers long by five kilometers wide, and that the astronauts would need to remain within one kilometer of their spacecraft.
The wide margin of error and small area of exploration meant that detailed pre-mission traverse planning would be impossible. Goetz proposed that the astronauts use their LM's top-mounted docking port as an observation platform for planning their own geologic traverse after they landed on the moon. An astronaut would open the port, about seven meters above Mare Tranquillitatis, and stand on the LM's ascent stage engine cover to look out over the landscape.
Goetz selected two landing points at random within the II P 6-1 ellipse and planned traverses for them based on Lunar Orbiter II images. The first, traverse A, would include four stations when the astronauts set out from their LM. Of particular note was station 4, a 25-meter crater with a bright ejecta blanket where the astronauts would attempt to determine the depth of the bright material. Also of note was station 5, a north-south-trending chain of small craters, which Goetz assumed would be added to the traverse after the astronauts noticed it while exploring station 4. This was meant to show that Goetz's planned traverses could be modified as needed. The astronauts would investigate the Station 5 crater chain to determine whether it was of volcanic or impact origin, then would return to their LM.
The second hypothetical traverse, traverse B, assumed an LM landing 1.9 kilometers south of the traverse A LM landing site. Of particular note was station 3, a 35-meter-wide crater on the rim of a "ghost crater" (that is, one mostly buried by mare lava and debris), which Goetz believed would provide the astronauts with an opportunity to sample lunar bedrock, and station 6, a 180-meter ghost crater containing two house-sized boulders large enough to show up plainly in Lunar Orbiter II images. Goetz suggested that the boulders might create permanently shaded places that could shelter ice.
Goetz assumed that the space-suited astronauts would be able to keep up a demanding pace. They would travel a total of 2.31 kilometers during traverse A, with 50 minutes spent walking and a total of one hour and 40 minutes spent at the five stations. Traverse B would see the astronauts walk 2.44 kilometers in 55 minutes and spend one hour and 35 minutes at seven stations. Based on analysis of his two hypothetical traverses, he estimated that the astronauts would be able to reach at least 80% of the interesting features within a kilometer of their LM after a landing anywhere within the II P 6-1 ellipse.
NASA designated as Apollo Landing Site (ALS) 2 an ellipse within II P-6 very close to Goetz's II P 6-1 ellipse. On 20 July 1969, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin undocked in lunar orbit from the Command and Service Module *Columbia *and began their descent toward ALS 2 in the LM Eagle. They dodged boulder-filled, 185-meter-wide West crater, flew over Little West crater, and landed Eagle just short of Double crater. Through no fault of their own, they touched down off-target, just inside the southwestern edge of the ALS 2 ellipse.
A few hours after landing, the astronauts stepped outside for a moonwalk lasting a little more than two hours. They limited most of their activities to a 30-meter-wide area centered on Eagle, so traverse planning was unnecessary. Toward the end of their single moonwalk, Armstrong made a quick foray to the Little West crater rim, roughly 60 meters from Eagle.
NASA did not adopt Goetz's "plan-after-landing" approach to Apollo science traverses. The Apollo 12 LM Intrepid landed on Oceanus Procellarum close by the derelict Surveyor III robotic spacecraft on 19 November 1969, demonstrating the Apollo system's pinpoint landing capability. From Apollo 12 on, astronauts routinely landed their LMs at predetermined points and followed traverse routes geologists and engineers had planned before their flight.
On only one mission did an astronaut poke his helmeted head out through the LM docking port on the moon: during Apollo 15, David Scott used the LM Falcon's top-mounted port to get his bearings at the Hadley-Apennine landing site ahead of three pre-planned Lunar Roving Vehicle traverses. This followed the Apollo 14 mission, which saw Alan Shepard and Ed Mitchell become lost amid boulders and hummocky terrain surrounding Cone crater at the Fra Mauro landing site.
A Proposed Plan for Geologic Exploration on the Second Apollo Landing Mission - Case 710, A. F. H. Goetz, Bellcomm, January 31, 1968.
