Dodgers Announce June Winners of Dodger Pride Awards
The Los Angeles Dodgers today announced the June winners of the Dodger Pride Awards.

Amazon Web Services has launched a new general purpose Elastic Block Store that runs fully on solid state drives (SSD), which the leading IaaS cloud vendor says will provide dramatically better performance for users compared to previous-generation spinning disk persistent storage.
In addition to announcing all SSD General Purpose EBS Volumes today, AWS reduced prices for its EBS services by 35%, which represent the 43rd price drop the company has announced since 2006. Read about the news from AWS here.
+ MORE AT NETWORK WORLD: The best portable hard drives: Our picks for the fast, light and spacious +
The new General Purpose SSD-backed EBS volumes come with a 99.999% availability guarantee and are meant to be used for any range of block storage use cases in AWS. Block storage is persistent storage that can be attached to compute instances, in this case AWS's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), and they're used commonly to host databases.
The General Purpose EBS offering is ideal for small to midsized databases, as they burst in input/output operations per second (IOPS) speeds based on the amount of data that is stored in them. IOPS is basically a measure of how fast EBS can manage the data stored in it. The new General Purpose SSD Volumes provide a base level of 3 IOPS for every gigabyte of storage, but it scales up to 3,000 IOPS if needed. For larger workloads that need even faster provisioning times, AWS has Provisioned IOPS EBS Volumes deliver up to 48,000 IOPS.
That IOPS capacity makes the new General Purpose and Provisioned IOPS storage good for not only hosting databases, but also to increase boot time of compute instances. By taking advantage of the increased SSD capacity of the EBS instances, AWS estimates that boot times could be 50% faster for customers.
The General Purpose EBS SSD volumes cost $0.10 per GB per month, while the Provisioned IOPS Volumes cost 0.125 per GB per month. AWS still has its previous generation EBS offering, which it calls Magnetic Volumes, that costs $0.05 per GB per month.
Today's move continues a natural progression of AWS rolling out SSDs across its cloud. Previously, AWS has installed SSDs for the local storage of many of its EC2 instances. All of the company's newest-generation virtual machine instance sizes now come in SSD flavors, including those optimized for high compute, memory and graphic processing.
Rolling out SSD functionality is becoming standard practice to cloud providers, but various market players are in different stages of doing so. Many of AWS's competitors, like CenturyLink, Rackspace and Joyent, offer SSD storage options for customers. AWS is making SSD volumes the default new storage option for EBS volumes though.

At the end of the Connecticut-Duke NCAA semi-final game, with Tech leading 79-75, Duke's Chris Duhon launched a one-footed, one-handed, 40 ft shot with less than 1 second on the clock. It went in, but Duke still trailed 79-78, and Tech won the game. So it's a meaningless shot, right? Wrong. The point spread was Connecticut+2. So about $100 million changed hands in the opposite direction from what would have happened if Duhon had just dribbled out the clock.
(Thank's to ESPN's Mike & Mike in the Morning for pointing this out.)
Yes, I originally had Georgia Tech-Duke. Asleep, I guess.

(UPI) -- A woman fired from her job working as a waitress at a Hooters in Baltimore, Md., for having "unnatural" hair color has filed a complaint against her former employer for discrimination.
Farryn Johnson, who is black, said she was fired for having blonde highlights in her otherwise dark hair, which the restaurant said violated the appearance policy for "Hooters girls."
Johnson, 25, was reprimanded about her highlights in June and fired in August when she did not change them. The problem? Her colleagues, including an Asian-American woman with bright red hair and a white woman with black hair and platinum highlights, were not given the same ultimatums.
In her complaint, filed to the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights, said other black employees were also told to change their hair: White women with curly hair were allowed to work, but black women were told they had to straighten their curls.
Chief Human Resources Officer for Hooters of America Rebecca Sinclair denied the chain had discriminatory policies.
"When you're representing an iconic brand there are standards to follow," Sinclair said in a statement. "Hooters Girls are required to be camera-ready at all times to promote the glamorous, wholesome look for which Hooters is known."
"Hooters adamantly denies that it has different policies and standards for hair based on race," she continued. "As a global brand, Hooters embraces our culturally diverse employee base and our standards are applied impartially," Sinclair said in a statement.
Johnson, who worked at Hooters for almost a year, said that while she is seeking compensation for lost wages, she her primary goal is to get the chain to change its policy.
"She wants to show Hooters what they did was wrong and get them to change this," said her attorney, Jessica P. Weber.

Whether it's using deep learning to categorize photos and improve customer interactions, or integrating on-device machine learning to personalize an app for users, we know that implementing machine learning solutions can be key to innovating your business. However, not all companies have the knowledge, experience, or resources to get started, which is where we hope our TensorFlow Trusted Partners can help. We are fostering connections between experienced TensorFlow system integrators, and businesses new to machine learning and the world of AI.
Machine learning has the potential to transform your core business model and create new revenue streams, and we want to make it easier for companies to explore opportunities to apply machine learning to their business problems. Learn which model architecture is right for your business problem with the help of partners verified by the TensorFlow team.
Accelerate your business goals with ML
TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. But what does that mean for businesses, and how does machine learning pave the way for new solutions? Learn more below.
In recent years, the amount of data collection in many industries has skyrocketed, and machine learning is an important technique for making sense of this seemingly endless data. A subset of AI, machine learning (ML), is the practice of helping software perform a task without explicit programming or rules. By providing a set of examples, the computer learns patterns from the data and enables developers to train a model. This predictive model can then serve up predictions about previously unseen data, enabling a business to use these predictions to take action. For example, if a system predicts that a user will like a certain video, then the system may recommend that video to the user.
The power of machine learning enables businesses to insert intelligence into every human interaction with technology, whether that's training machines to make sense of the world through areas like machine perception, or by making useful predictions that benefit and influence product behaviors. This technology gives your product the ability to customize experiences for each customer, transforming their relationship with your brand and making their lives easier.
Today, enterprises are using TensorFlow-based solutions to address all kinds of business problems. For example, companies are using natural language understanding to read and comprehend large sets of documents, machine perception to run inspections and assessments based on videos and imagery, and deep learning to provide users personalized content. With TensorFlow, companies are able to make real-time automated decisions, and build unique solutions using deep learning.
Want examples of how other companies are transforming their products using TensorFlow? Check out our case studies to learn more.

The Governor's Proposed Cut in the Budget for the Arts
(Jan '01) Arts folks are not happy that in his new budget, Governor George Pataki has proposed a nine percent cut in funding for the State Council on the Arts, whose budget is already only $48.4 million.
As recently as mid November, at the annual Governor's Arts Awards, Pataki offered glowing words of strong support for the arts. Some in the crowd seemed unaware that the governor's actual record is not quite as supportive as his public remarks. Including the current budget proposal, his administration has recommended cuts in three budgets, level funding in two, a miniscule increase one year and a significant increase in one year. He also decreased funding mid-year during his second year in office, and vetoed a legislative increase of four million dollars in 1999. At best, this is a checkered record.
So, why do arts folks feel they are better off under this administration than under his Democratic predecessor, former Governor Mario Cuomo? Simple. In 1992, admittedly a difficult budget year, then-Governor Cuomo cut the arts budget by 41 percent, reducing it from $49 million to $29 million. No other state agency went through such destruction. And, it was destruction. Given the delay in passing state budgets, arts groups are often mid-way through their budget year before they know what the State Council on the Arts will provide. The delay plays havoc with planning, and costs money as groups have to borrow money. But, when a cut of this magnitude is absorbed in such a short time and after a budget year has started, it creates deficits that cannot be avoided. Cuomo continued the cuts in 1993 with an additional $5 million. After that experience, only complete annihilation would seem worse.
Recovery for the arts started as the legislature forced increases in 1994, and as Cuomo prepared to run for another term.
None of this excuses the current governor for his recommending such a large cut, nor are arts groups and their boards planning to quietly accept the proposed decrease. The reality is that it is the state legislature that restores and protects the arts year in and year out, and it has done so both in this administration and in the prior one. That restoration and increase has traditionally been primarily the responsibility of the Republicans in the Senate, which is why the potential loss of Senator Roy Goodman in the recent election was of such great concern to the arts community. His re-election brought a collective sigh of relief from the arts field.
The Assembly has over the past few years begun to participate more in the process of providing arts funding, but there too there are changes. The arts committee was chaired for the last three years by Paul Tokasz of Buffalo, who recently was promoted to majority leader. The new arts chair is Joseph Morelle from Rochester, formerly chair of the small business committee. Given the size of this cut, Assemblyman Morelle is facing a difficult year as he starts this new chairmanship.
In the midst of the proposed cuts to the State Council on the Arts, Pataki was busy announcing three large capital gifts to New York City cultural groups. The Rose Center at the American Museum of Natural History is slated for $13 million, which has some people asking just how much that project actually cost. The Intrepid Museum is targeted for $7.5 million so it can "remain one of the New York City's top tourist attractions." (A comment fit for analysis on The Spin Room!) And, $1 million is going to the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Local Development Corporation.
Despite these sops, the bottom line is that the arts community is deeply upset by the proposed cut. The funding level currently equals 1987 in actual dollars, and the governor proposes reducing it even further. Factoring in inflation, the arts community is being funded at 1977 levels. This is in a state where arts are a major export product, a major tourist attraction, a significant part of the economy, a larger employer than construction, and for many an important reason for putting up with the otherwise often frustrating and expensive living conditions of New York City. So, in a year of unparalleled budget surpluses, why cut the arts.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- Australia granted Mike Tyson a visa Wednesday, one week after New Zealand barred the former heavyweight boxing champion from entering that country due to his 1992 rape conviction.
Officials carefully weighed the pros and cons of his visit and of his character given his criminal past before making the decision, said Cian Manton, a spokeswoman for Australia's Department of Immigration and Citizenship.
She said it was the first time Tyson had applied for a visa to Australia and he was warned the privilege could be revoked if he broke any laws.
"Given the purpose of his visit and the short duration, we considered the risk of him reoffending to be very low," Manton said.
The entertainment visa he was granted covers the duration of Tyson's five-city Australian tour starting next month.
He was scheduled to visit both countries on the "Day of the Champions" tour to give inspirational talks about overcoming adversity in his life. New Zealand immigration authorities initially granted him a visa before a charity withdrew its support and officials reversed their decision.
Tyson served three years in prison for rape.

It is advised to remix both base and catalyst before mixing them together.
1. Mixing of the two components
To 100 parts of BLUESIL RTV 3325 NY add 5 parts of the selected catalyst.
The two components are thoroughly mixed either using an electrical or pneumatic mixer on a low speed setting so as to limit the inclusion of air in the mixture as well as temperature rise.
2. Degassing
After mixing base and catalyst, it is recommended to degas to eliminate entrapped air.
If the processing is done with the help of a machine both parts are degassed before mixing.
The BLUESIL RTV 3325 NY is degassed under vacuum pressure of 30 to 50 mbar.
Under vacuum pressure, the product will expand 3 at 4 times its initial volume and forms bubble on its surface.
This bubble will disappear gradually, and the mixture will sink back down to its initial volume within 5 to 10 minutes. Release the vacuum and repeat the operation a few minutes later.
Remark: release the vacuum several times improves the degassing. For easier degassing only fill a recipient to 1/3 of its height.
3. Cross linking
The best curing conditions are at 23 °C and 50 % relative humidity. The use of products at higher temperatures and/or relative humidity levels will reduce the pot life and increase the setting rate. As opposed to this, lower temperatures and relative humidity levels will increase the pot life and decrease the setting time. It is recommended not to use the product at temperatures below 20°C; under these conditions, the final product performance levels will be difficult to achieve.
At 23 °C and 50 % relative humidity, the membranes can be demolded after 16 to 24 hours. In order to achieve the best possible performance levels from the membranes, it is preferable to wait for 24 hours before using them. The definitive properties will be acquired after 3 days.
BLUESIL RTV 3325 NY is a silicone elastomer which, after the addition of CATA NYKAT (new generation tin-free catalyst), cures at room temperature and leads to a flexible and elastic material.
• Good fluidity. • Absence of Organotin salts.• Excellent mechanical properties, in particular tear strength. • Excellent flexibility and its low modulus facilitate the mold release. • Range of catalysts allowing the BLUESIL RTV 3325 NY to fulfill the requirements for various applications: - BLUESIL CATA NYKAT 24H: standard kinetics (24 hours mold release).- BLUESIL CATA NYKAT 6H: fast kinetics (6 hours mold release).
These catalysts have the advantage of being odourless.
Molds for the production of parts made of different materials, such as plaster, wax, acrylic resin, polyester resin, epoxy resin, as well as silicone elastomers, with the following application examples:
• Decoration items: cornices, ornaments, statues.
• Figurines: toys, candles, statues, giftware.
• Furnishing: furniture and decorative parts.
• Construction: decorative items, pavement, paving stone, columns.
• Artistic foundries: molds for the lost wax casting technique.

Project Director: Maureen Linden (GT).
Task leaders: subtask 2 Brad Fain, Ph.D. (GT); subtask 2 Salimah LaForce (GT).
The Inclusive Emergency Lifelines project will develop wireless communication protocols and interfaces for current and emerging wireless technologies used in all stages of emergencies and develop methods to interface them with the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system. WEAs are one of the U.S. government's official methods to distribute emergency messages to the public. Specifically, the project goals are to optimize, for people with sensory and mobility disabilities, emergency notification and evacuation signaling to wireless alert systems, and develop interactive tools on multiple platforms, such as video platforms for American Sign Language (ASL), incorporation of emergency symbology in WEAs, and social media over multiple platforms such as wearable devices.
People often have mobile devices on hand during an emergency, and depend on them to receive lifesaving information and assistance (Mills et al., 2009; Sheetz et al., 2010). Our 2010 survey findings showed that 77% of 1600 respondents with disabilities stated that smart devices are increasingly important to them; and 65% stated wireless devices were especially important during emergencies (Mueller, J. el at 2010). Once notified of an impending emergency or natural disaster, the ability to communicate real-time information and detailed instructions about specific required actions is critical. Existing alerting solutions are often not accessible to people with sensory disabilities. The WEA format currently provides the type and time of the alert, recommends a protective action, and identifies the issuing agency within a 90 character limit (Federal Communication Commission, 2008). This brief transmission of complicated information results in limited understanding, particularly by individuals with cognitive disabilities, learning disabilities, or those for whom English is not their primary language (i.e. ASL speakers). The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) of the U.S. promotes improving message comprehension by incorporating symbology.
Social media sites are the fourth most popular source of information in emergency situations (American Red Cross, 2009) and are often accessed with mobile phones during emergency events (Hughes & Palen, 2009; Lindsay, 2011; Madden & Zickuhr, 2011; Mills et al., 2009; Morris, LaForce, & Mueller, 2013; Palen, 2008). In the past several years, government agencies and public authorities have made efforts to use social media to warn individuals at local, state, and national levels (Mitchell, Bennett, & LaForce, 2011). Twitter, represents a promising use of social media for emergency communications. Further, one out of five American adults has a wearable device (PWC, 2014) of which half are designed to enhance smartphone experiences (CSC Insight, 2016). The goal is to develop tools that support WEA message comprehension using a variety of platforms.
In Subtask 1 development activity will allow for generalizable results in real world environments to establish prototypes that provides perceptible alerting signals for people with differing levels of sensory perception, and in varied environments. By example, a user-centered design will leverage the wireless infrastructure for information dissemination currently used by transit authorities. The emergence of wearable technologies and increasing popularity of social media provides opportunities to improve WEA comprehension and provide two-way communication during emergencies. Subtask 2 will address complex communication needs and leverages social media and emerging technology. It will improve message content comprehension, by incorporating IPAWS symbology into WEA messages delivered on smartphones and interfaced with wearable devices. Further, a video platform for transmission of ASL messages will be developed.

Making Victorian farmers lives better; enhancing Victoria's future.
A community of farmers creating a profitable, sustainable and socially responsible agricultural industry connecting with all Victorians.
The Victorian Farmers Federation is an active, powerful lobby group dedicated to the interests of farmers and making a difference to communities. With a strong record of successful political advocacy and leadership, the VFF has generated substantial benefits for the agriculture sector since its formation in 1979.
Even though farming has its own natural challenges from droughts, bushfires and floods, our members have collectively earned the VFF a reputation as a respected leader, contributor and lobbyist.
The VFF consists of seven Commodity Groups - Dairy (United Dairyfarmers of Victoria), Livestock, Grains, Horticulture (incorporating Flowers Victoria), Chicken Meat, Eggs and Pigs - as well as four Committee groups - Water, Land Management, Farm Business and Rural Development and Farm Security.
VFF members lead each of these groups and, with the support of Melbourne and regional based staff, provide the power to effectively influence all levels of government on the wide range of issues that impact on modern farming.
Our vision is to create an environment for farmers that enables profitable, safe and sustainable production, within a community that values and respects the farm sector.
VFF has approximately 200 branches across the state.
Why are VFF branches so important?
VFF members are the lifeblood of the organisation. Branches enable members to:

Enrollment skews older in Connecticut health marketplace
HARTFORD >> Older people are signing up for health care coverage under Connecticut's insurance marketplace, data released Tuesday showed.
Fifty-four percent of the 12,648 individuals enrolled in private insurance plans and government-funded Medicaid are between 45 and 64 years old, according to demographic information as of Nov. 14 released by the marketplace, Access Health CT.
Of just the 7,092 who enrolled in private insurance, 61 percent are between 45 and 64.
One concern about the insurance marketplaces that are a key component of President Barack Obama's health care law was that they won't attract young, healthy people to make them financially viable. Insurers have warned that they need a wide range of people signing up for coverage because premiums paid by younger and healthier adults are needed to offset the cost of carrying older and sicker customers who typically generate far more in medical bills than they contribute in premiums.
Connecticut is not alone. In California, most of those who applied were older people with health problems. In Kentucky, nearly 3 of 4 enrollees were over 35. In Washington state, less than a quarter of enrollees were between 18 and 34.
More young people could just be waiting to sign up. They have until Dec. 15 if they want to be covered Jan. 1.
Access Health CT CEO Kevin Counihan said he expects a surge in enrollment in private insurance plans after Thanksgiving and until mid-December.
According to Connecticut's latest enrollment data, 10 percent of total enrollees since Oct. 1 are between the ages of 18 and 25, 12 percent between 26 and 34 and 12 percent between 35 and 44. The rest are either under 18 or are 65 and older. Among those signing up for private plans, 8 percent are between 18 and 25; 11 percent between 26 and 34; and 12 percent between 35 and 44.
Access Health said 7,092 individuals have enrolled in private plans while 5,224 signed up for Medicaid. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield is the most popular private plan choice.
Among those enrolling in the private plans, 31 percent did not receive any financial subsidy.

§1-10. Objectives. This Rule 10.8 is intended to adapt the County Division's procedures on tax objection complaints to the substantive legislative changes embodied in PA 89-126 (HB 1465), to respond to the anticipated increase in the volume of the filing of such complaints and to limit the time elapsed in the resolution of the complaints, all as consonant with the Illinois Supreme Court's announced policy of encouraging active case management by the trial court in litigation matters.
§1-15. Applicability. This Rule 10.8 shall be effective for all tax rate objection matters filed for 1989 and following tax years and for valuation objection matters for 1993 and following tax years, except that the provisions of §1-20 of this rule regarding the form of tax objection complaints shall be effective for tax objection matters for 1994 and following tax years. The terms "plaintiff" and "complaint" as used in this rule shall be construed to include the terms "objector" and "objection" as may be necessary for tax years prior to 1994.
§1-20. Form of Tax Objection Complaints. Tax objection complaints under Section 23-10 and 23-15 of the Property Tax Code [35 ILCS 200/23-10 and 23-15] shall be filed in triplicate (including all exhibits and attachments), and the circuit court clerk shall promptly provide one copy to the State's attorney and one copy to the county collector. The caption of the complaint shall designate the objecting taxpayer as "plaintiff" and the county collector as "defendant" and shall include a title identifying the year of the taxes to which objection is made. Each complaint shall also designate in the caption below the case number the following, depending on the nature of the case: (i) where the complaint includes objections to the budgets or levies of one or more taxing bodies, to the rate making process, or to the extension of taxes, regardless of any other grounds of objection alleged, the words "Rate Objection" shall appear; and (ii) where the complaint includes only objections to the assessed valuation of the subject property, the words "Valuation Objection" shall appear. The caption of the complaint shall be in substantially the following form:
Cook County Treasurer
and Ex Officio County
Collector, Defendant.
Valuation [or] Rate Objection
[as the case may be]
§1-25. References. Whenever in this rule reference is made solely to a section number, it means that section of this Circuit Court Rule 10.8. Whenever section references are made to other sources, such as the Property Tax Code or Supreme Court Rules, it is so stated.

§2-31. Substantial Compliance with Document Production Requirements.
(a) At the case management call of each case, the court shall first determine whether plaintiff's initial production of documents has been completed in substantial compliance with §2-50. If the court finds that plaintiff has not complied substantially with the requirements of §2-50, it shall enter such sanctions as the court deems appropriate. The sanction may include dismissal of the case, subject to reinstatement.
(b) A case dismissed for failure to comply substantially with §2-50 shall be reinstated only upon a showing of good cause and payment of costs. In the discretion of the court, a reinstated case may be considered as newly filed for purposes of scheduling, and may be considered inactive until reset for a new case management call.
§2-32. Merger of Related Cases. At the case management call, the court shall determine whether merger of the case with other pending cases is appropriate; and the court may alter the schedule for discovery or make such other provisions as may be necessary to incorporate such merged claims.
§2-33. Election as Small Claim. See Circuit Court Rule 10.6
§2-34. Establishment of Schedule.
A. The case management call order shall establish a schedule for the further progress of the case, including the dates for the disclosure of opinion witnesses and their written reports as well as for discovery pursuant to §2-120 and the applicable Supreme Court Rules, for the setting of the trial assignment call, for the assignment of the case to a trial judge, and for entry of the final pre-trial order.

[The first working Thursday of the fifth month following the Case Management Call.]
§2-50. Plaintiff's Initial Production of Documents.
(a) No later than two months prior to the case management call, plaintiff shall produce documentary evidence and material to the State's Attorney which plaintiff deems sufficient to support the claim set forth in the complaint. Plaintiff's production may include any materials which plaintiff believes are relevant to the claim, and it shall include at a minimum the information and documents enumerated in subsections (c) and (d) of this section unless an objection to any part thereof is sustained by the court.
(b) If plaintiff desires to object to production of any item required under this section, a written objection explaining the factual and legal basis therefor shall be served upon the State's Attorney no later than the date specified for completion of the document production. Any remaining part of the required information and materials not within the scope of the objection shall be produced by the same date. The provisions of Supreme Court Rule 201(b) (scope of discovery), 201(j) (effect of discovery disclosure), 201(m) (filing of materials) and 201(n) (claims of privilege) shall apply to the production required by this rule, and the court may enforce this rule by dismissal pursuant to 2-31(a) or by any appropriate sanction pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 219.
(c) Plaintiff's initial production shall be submitted together with a statement signed under oath attesting that all of the information and documentation required pursuant to subsection (d) of this section has been provided to the best of plaintiff's knowledge, information and belief, with the exception of: (i) any specified document or information which does not exist; or (ii) any specified document or information which is known or believed to exist but is not within plaintiff's possession or control. The statement under this subsection shall expressly indicate which exception applies to any documentation or information which is not produced.
(d) The information and documents required as part of plaintiff's initial production shall consist of: (i) copies of all tax bills for the property for the subject tax year; (ii) for tax years prior to 1994, copies of protest letters filed; (iii) a description of the size, age, condition and use of the subject property during the subject tax year; (iv) a description of the nature and cost of any improvements to the subject property during the period of two years prior to and through the end of the subject tax year; (v) the contracts and closing statements relating to any transfer of ownership of the subject property within the period from two years prior to and through the end of the subject tax year; (vi) any complaints and related documents submitted to the Assessor's Office or Board of Appeals for the subject tax year; and (vii) any self-contained or limited appraisal report or other estimate of the value of the subject property which has a date of valuation within the period of two years prior to and through the end of the subject tax year. Plaintiff need not duplicate the submission of any documentation falling within more than one category under this rule.
C. Trial Management Call
§2-60. Purpose. The trial management call has four specific purposes: (1) to mark the transition from settlements to preparation for trial; (2) to provide a forum to resolve disputes before full-scale discovery; (3) to designate the Assistant State's Attorney assigned to the case; and (4) to offer an opportunity for the parties to inform the court of their intent to go to trial, at the discretion of the judge it may be assigned out.
§2-85. Preparation of Order.
(a) No later than seven days prior to the date set for the trial management call, plaintiff's counsel shall deliver a draft of a proposed agreed trial management call order to the State's Attorney. The proposed agreed trial management call order shall contain the dates specified in §2-34 A and shall be signed by both parties, unless one or both parties requests a modification thereof pursuant to §2-34 B.
(b) If a motion is made under §2-34 B, or if the proposed order deviates from the schedule specified in §2-34 B, both parties shall appear at the trial management call. If a proposed agreed trial management call order conforms to the schedule specified in §2-34 A, and is submitted to the court in advance, no appearance by either party shall be required and the court shall enter the order. The failure of either party to appear in support of a motion under this rule shall be deemed a forfeiture of interested party's rights.
§2-86. Outcome of Failure to Comply. Any party who fails to complete an agreed Trial Management Call order or to appear as required by this rule may be subject to sanctions.
§2-87. Pre-trial Settlement Conference Request. Either party may initiate a pre-trial settlement conference with the court by motion any time after the 10th month following the case management call (see §2-34 A (ii) the last day to identify opinion witnesses); or the court may initiate such a conference on its own motion. Notwithstanding any such settlement conference, the schedule established in the case management call order shall remain in effect, unless modified by the court; and such modifications shall be made only on a showing of exceptional circumstances.
§2-90. Form of Order. The trial management call order shall be substantially in the following form:
This cause coming on to be heard on the Court's trial management call, due notice having been given and the Court being advised in the premises,
That all previous orders are continued and the matter is set for trial assignment on ____________ at 2:00 p.m.
D. General Discovery Provisions
§2-110. Purpose. The discovery provisions harmonize and clarify the varying time requirements for discovery compliance specified in this rule and in the comparable Supreme Court Rules.
§2-115. Failure to Disclose Opinion Witness or Report. Failure of any party to make timely disclosure of opinion witnesses or their reports pursuant to any order entered under this rule shall be deemed an election by that party not to use such opinion witnesses or reports.
§2-120. Discovery under Supreme Court Rules. The parties may voluntarily conduct discovery at any time, including the time that the case is considered inactive under this rule. However, no responses to any discovery requests shall be considered to be due or enforceable prior to the first compliance date as provided in the Case Management Call Order under §2-45. Thereafter, responses to discovery shall be due as provided in the applicable Supreme Court Rules, subject to the cut-off dates established by court order.
§2-125. Efforts to Limit Discovery and Aid Settlement. Prior to the date set for the disclosure of opinion witnesses, the State's Attorney shall review the plaintiff's initial production of documentary evidence and the parties shall confer regarding the possibility of settlement, the need for the disclosure of additional information which would aid in the resolution of the matter, the nature and scope of any contested issues of fact and law, the intent to consult with opinion witnesses prior to trial or to have such witnesses testify at trial, the nature and scope of discovery sought by either party, motions, and the estimated time required for completion of discovery and for trial. The parties shall cooperate in an effort to limit and expedite discovery, and to simplify and define any contested issues.
E. Small Claims Procedure - See Circuit Court Rule 10.6
F. Progress Call [RESERVED]
G. Trial Assignment Call
§2-200. Purpose. The trial assignment call looks toward the trial of unresolved cases. It describes the parties' positions, permits a pre-trial settlement conference with the court, and is a forum for resolving procedural disputes between the parties. The appearance of both parties is required.
§2-220. No Change of Venue. A party who voluntarily participates in a pre-trial conference with a judge shall be deemed to have waived any right to a change of venue (substitution of judge) without cause pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2-1001(a)(2).
§2-225. Form of Order. The trial assignment order shall be in substantially the following form:

Action plan on the Stockholm Programme
Action plan on the Stockholm Programme
Action plan on the Stockholm Programme
This summary has been archived and will not be updated, because the summarised document is no longer in force or does not reflect the current situation.
Action plan on the Stockholm Programme
This action plan provides a roadmap for the implementation of political priorities set out in the Stockholm Programme for the area of justice, freedom and security between 2010-14.
Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions of 20 April 2010 – Delivering an area of freedom, security and justice for Europe's citizens – Action Plan Implementing the Stockholm Programme [COM(2010) 171 final – Not published in the Official Journal].
The European Union's (EU) priorities for developing an area of justice, freedom and security during the period 2010-14 are set out in the Stockholm Programme. This action plan aims to deliver those priorities as well as to prepare for future challenges both at European and global level.
Europe of rights
The action plan provides for measures to ensure the protection of fundamental rights. These consist of reinforcing data protection law through a new comprehensive legal framework, as well as of incorporating data protection into all EU policies, law enforcement, crime prevention and international relations. Actions are also intended to fight against all forms of discrimination, racism, xenophobia and homophobia. Particular attention is given to protecting the rights of the child and vulnerable groups, including victims of crime and terrorism. For the protection of the latter, the Commission will propose a comprehensive instrument and practical measures, including a European Protection Order. The Commission will also make legislative proposals regarding the rights of individuals in criminal proceedings and actions relating to detention. Furthermore, the action plan provides for measures to empower European citizens, in particular as regards the right to free movement, protection in non-EU countries and civic participation.
Europe of justice
In order to strengthen the European judicial area, the action plan sets out measures to further implement the principle of mutual recognition. This includes legislative proposals on obtaining and gathering of evidence, disqualifications and financial penalties in criminal matters. The Commission also intends to propose new legislation on civil matters, such as relating to divorce, and revise the regulation concerning judgements in civil and commercial matters. For the principle of mutual recognition to function effectively, the Commission will take actions to strengthen mutual trust. To this end, actions to develop common minimum standards in both criminal and civil law will also be proposed. In addition, for citizens to better benefit from the European judicial area, the Commission will propose actions to facilitate access to justice, especially in terms of legislation relating to civil status documents, and to support economic activity, such as legislative proposals on the enforcement of judgements. At the same time, the Commission intends to increase the EU's international presence in the field of civil and criminal law, mainly through the negotiation of agreements and conventions with non-EU countries.
Europe that protects
To better protect citizens and tackle cross-border crime, the action plan provides for the drafting of an internal security strategy. The Commission also aims to improve the existing security tools, in particular those relating to the management of information flows, as well as to propose the take up of technological security tools, such as a European register of convicted non-EU nationals. In addition, the action plan provides for improved policies to fight cross-border crime, mainly better cooperation in European law enforcement, including between the European Police Office, Eurojust and the European external borders agency (Frontex), as well as better crime prevention. In order to protect against serious and organised crime, the action plan also provides for specific measures to fight crime, including legislative proposals on:
The Commission also intends to reinforce the EU's capacity to prevent, prepare for and respond to disasters, both man-made and natural. To this end, the action plan provides for measures that complement and improve EU disaster management.
Access to Europe
The Commission will take actions to further develop the integrated approach to managing the EU's external borders. These include legislative proposals to modify Frontex, the Schengen Borders Code and the European Border Surveillance System (Eurosur). The Commission will also propose the setting up of an Entry Exit System (EES) and a Registered Traveller Programme (RTP). Furthermore, the Commission will continue with visa liberalisation by negotiating Visa Facilitation Agreements with non-EU countries, as well as with the launch of the Visa Information System (VIS).
Europe of solidarity
The Commission intends to pursue a dynamic and comprehensive immigration policy, which will consist of actions that:
The Commission also aims to pursue a common asylum policy to establish a common area of protection for asylum seekers through the sharing of responsibility by EU countries. The action plan also provides for a strengthened external dimension through cooperation with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the development of the EU Resettlement Programme as well as of new regional protection programmes.
Europe in a globalised world
The action plan reiterates the interconnection between the internal and external dimension of justice, freedom and security policies. Consequently, it provides for actions that reinforce the external dimension, in particular for better cooperation and information sharing between EU countries. In addition, the Commission aims at taking into account the external dimension in its relations with non-EU countries, including in a variety of agreements and partnership arrangements. The action plan also provides for continued support for the Council of Europe conventions on trafficking in human beings, data protection, protection of children, cybercrime and corruption, as well as for the Hague Conference on Private International Law.
The way forward
In order to transform the political priorities established by the Stockholm Programme into concrete actions and results, the action plan provides measures for:

"I haven't talked much about that, but it was such a difficult time because he was going through a lot last year," Keighley says. He was shocked when he found out – just days before the show – that Konami wasn't going to allow Kojima to attend, and he felt he had to say something, despite the company being a sponsor. "The fact that he finished that game (MGSV) under those circumstances is just amazing. He was locked in a separate room on a different floor than his development team for the final six months of development. He couldn't even talk to them – he had to talk through someone else. That's how that game was finished."
He's not wrong.

Nobilis is a contemporary fantasy role-playing game created by R. Sean Borgstrom. The player characters are "Sovereign Powers" called the Nobilis; each Noble is the personification of an abstract concept or class of things such as Time, Death, cars, or communication. Unlike most role-playing games, Nobilis does not use dice or other random elements to determine the outcome of characters' actions, but instead uses a Karma-based system for task resolution.
--Wikipedia Article
So, uhh... I was kinda thinking about testing this game out, and who better to help me try it out than the RPGWW crew?
It might be a bit hard to get your hands on the rulebook... actually, it's damn near impossible unless you wish to fork out close to 500 bucks for a used copy.
But there are other ways... cough cough... anyway, for those of you interested in giving this a shot, sign up here. If I get three or more players, I'll get things rolling. Five's the most I think I can handle, so first come first served.
Oh, and I figured I might just inform you that I will be very happy to share my thoughts about the book over PM. *cough cough*

Take a trip to the land of daffodils and dragons. Wales is a beautiful place for a caravanning holiday. An easy drive in the caravan or motorhome just over the boarder, Wales is a country that is part of the United Kingdom and the island of Great Britain, bordered by England to its east and the Atlantic Ocean and Irish Sea to its west.
Although Wales shares a close political and social history with the rest of Great Britain, and almost everyone speaks English, making it very easy for caravanners to communicate, the country has retained a distinct cultural identity and is officially bilingual with road signs in Welsh and English. Unless you can read Welsh make sure you follow the right signs otherwise you might end up in Aberystwyth rather than Pembrokeshire.
The Welsh landscape is renowned for its picturesque caravanning and camping sites but also for its rolling hills, mountainous peaks include Snowden, agriculture and farmland – it is a common site to see sheep roaming the greenery. Caravanners can explore the country's heritage like Cardiff Castle and Caerphilly Castle. The Gower Peninsula in South Wales is another popular destination for caravan holiday makers and is a designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Brecon Beacons, the Wye Valley, Snowdonia and Cardigan Bay Coast are other popular spots for camping, setting up your caravan base and exploring.
The sport of Rugby is seen as a National Sport and part of the Welsh identity. During the Six Nation's Rugby, caravanners can expect the country side to much quieter than usual, and instead caravan holiday makers hear booming crowds cheering there Nation on at the Millennium Stadium and find the local pubs brimming with eager eyed supporters.

Cheese and mushroom casserole with chicken
This casserole is simple and delicious, and makes a perfect snack during a picnic (bento anyone?)—you should use it as a basic idea for a casserole, since the pasta sauce is the stable and the most important piece of the meal. It's also a very tweak-able recipe! :-)
When you make your own pasta, you will always end up with some scraps, even more if you make ravioli. You can easily recycle this leftover pasta to make maltagliati, meaning "poorly cut" in Italian, which was traditionally meant as food for the poor. We are way past that, and today you can enjoy rich texture and amazing flavor of your pasta without the social stigma ;-)
Sushi-like rolls
Can you imagine, there was the time I didn't want to eat sushi, because of the raw fish?! Well, that's true, shame on me. Lots of shame. On me. Agreed...
Knowing that, I decided to make a recipe for sushi-like rolls, that look and taste close to sushi, but... are not raw! Nothing in this recipe is raw, and that also means that you can keep them safe longer at the room temperature, place in your bento, take for a picnic or just offer them as a healthy snack for people didn't discover yet the ingenuity of Japanese cuisine! ;-)
Salami frittata
Hot, savory and full or aroma, that's literally an omelette on steroids that smashes my hunger during dark, cold autumn days :-) It's also extremely easy and pretty fast to cook!
Simple chicken teriyaki bento
This recipe is very easy and fast to cook, because it requires ready-made teriyaki sauce. Still, it's a really tasty alternative to sausages and pork, and chicken made in teriyaki style is juicy, tender and full of aroma! It also takes just few minutes, because the meat is first fried quickly, and then glazed with sauce. Fast food like a boss ;-)
