Sadly it was reported recently that famous TV announcer Jim McKay passed away on June 7th at the age of 86. Although his legal name was Jim
McManus, he changed his on-air name after being tabbed to host an early TV show called The Real McKay…
For me, McKay is the first voice I recall giving me interest in motor racing, as I've previously commented towards hearing him call the Indy 500 way back in the early 1970's for ABC's Wide World of Sports before Indy was broadcasted live. You may recall that this was the show with the famous tag line' "The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat," which legendary producer Roone Arledge first scribbled on the back of an airplane napkin… As Wide World of Sports was originally intended to be a one-off summer television program, yet with Jim McKay at the helm and Chris Schenkel alongside, the show was a smashing success as McKay became synonymous with the Olympics and was the man to tell the world; "They're ALL Gone!" during the 1972 Munich Olympics…

Rest In Peace Jim Mckay.ReplyDelete
Shout outs to Jim McKay. I grew up watching him on Wide World of Sports. As a Inner city kid I watched and learned about Indy, F1, Stock Car, and Grand Prix racing. My cousin and i would set up our AFX aurora slot car set with lots of curves turn off the lights and pretend we were racing in the 24 hours of LeMans. Mind you we had no Idea of where LeMans was but, we watched it all the time on Tv and wanted to go there. I learned a lot about racing and sports from Mr. McKay.
Great comment!ReplyDelete
The slot car reference sure takes me back aways and although I had a Tyco Ford GT 40, I didn't know anything about Le Mans.

Equal treatment beyond the workplace - guide02 July 2008
by eub2 -- last modified 02 July 2008
The Commission on 2 July 2008 adopted a proposal for a directive which provides for protection from discrimination on grounds of age, disability, sexual orientation and religion or belief beyond the workplace. This new directive would ensure equal treatment in the areas of social protection, including social security and health care, education and access to and supply of goods and services which are commercially available to the public, including housing. Eurobarometer surveys show that a large majority of Europeans support such legislation: 77% back measures to protect people from discrimination in education and 68% in access to goods and services.
What is the problem in reality?
People are often discriminated against in their daily lives because of their age, their religion, or if they are disabled or homosexual. A person may be refused entry to a bar because they have a guide dog with them. A letting agency may refuse to rent an apartment to someone because they are homosexual. Some people may be refused certain services because they are a certain age. Others may be prevented from buying property in a certain neighbourhood because they are a Muslim family.
Who is affected?
Almost everyone could find themselves in one of the above groups and could thus be subjected to discrimination, be it because they are young or old, because of their religion or belief, or because of their sexual orientation or a disability. As society ages, more people will be elderly and more people will be disabled.
Discrimination can have a devastating effect on the individuals concerned, from financial impacts (for example lower wages) to stigmatisation, isolation and loss of self esteem. Many of these consequences are impossible to quantify, but can have a devastating effect on those affected. However, society also pays the price if discrimination prevents people from achieving their full potential. It can result in lower levels of education being attained, lower employment rates, fewer people working and thus paying taxes, or increased health care costs.
How many people are affected?
According to a Eurobarometer survey conducted in February/March of this year, Europeans think that discrimination remains rife in their country, particularly when it comes to sexual orientation (51%), disability (45%), age and religion (42 % each).
Meanwhile, 15% of Europeans claim they were personally discriminated against in the last 12 months, and 3 in 10 Europeans report witnessing discrimination or harassment in the past year.
Finally, 48% think that not enough efforts are being made to fight discrimination in their country, while only 33% know their rights, should they face discrimination or harassment.
Why does Europe need to address this issue?
It is necessary to create a level playing field across Europe. Some Member States already have very extensive legislation, while others do not. Yet the right to equal treatment is fundamental and Article 13 of the Treaty gives the Commission power to propose legislation in this field.
Aren't the existing rules enough?
No. The existing EU rules (adopted in 2000) are already recognised as an effective tool to combat certain forms of discrimination: the first directive prohibits discrimination on the grounds of race and ethnic origin (2000/43/EC) in a whole spectrum of situations, extending far beyond the area of employment (i.e., in the provision of goods and services).
On the other hand, the second directive – which covers age, disability, sexual orientation and religion or belief – is limited to discrimination in the field of employment (2000/78/EC).
This different scope of protection on different grounds may be seen as constituting a form of "legal hierarchy" between the various groups affected by discrimination (for instance, between members of ethnic minorities vs. persons with disabilities). This is why the Commission is proposing to prohibit discrimination on grounds of disability, age, religion and belief as well as sexual orientation in the situations not covered by the existing EU rules, i.e. outside employment.
What about the specific forms of discrimination, such as disability?
The horizontal approach being proposed does not mean that the specificities of each type of discrimination cannot be dealt with properly. This is particularly important with regard to disability discrimination, where the notion of non-discrimination involves guarantees of accessibility and so-called reasonable accommodation.
Will this new legislation cost a lot to business?
No. Providers of goods and services will have to try and ensure equal access for disabled people, and make "reasonable accommodation". However, they are only expected to provide what is "reasonable" and this depends very much on the circumstances of the case (i.e. proportionate measures, depending on size and character of the provider, on expected costs etc.). Not discriminating against people on grounds of religion, age or sexual orientation usually costs nothing, and tapping into the spending power of these groups can be financially beneficial for businesses. There will be a transitional period of four years for ensuring accessibility. The Commission consulted business through the European Business Test Panel in 2007, and 74% of those that replied thought that consumers should be protected against discrimination on the grounds of age, disability, religion and sexual orientation. 69% of the respondents thought that new European rules protecting customers against discrimination would have no financial impact for them.
How will the protection against discrimination work in practice?
The rules will primarily act as a deterrent to those who discriminate. Nevertheless, where people think they have been discriminated against, disputes can in many cases be resolved with the help of the so called "Equality Bodies" in each Member State. All the Member States already have such a national body to deal with discrimination on grounds of gender and racial or ethnic origin.
Now they will have to have a body to help victims of discrimination on grounds of religion and faith, disability, age and sexual orientation. This could be achieved by expanding the competences of the existing Equality Bodies. In addition, associations and organisations working in the anti-discrimination field must also be allowed to help victims of discrimination.
If attempts at conciliation fail, victims of discrimination will have to plead their cases under national law, which transposes the Directive, and go before the national courts.
Are there any exemptions to the principle of equal treatment?
In certain cases, differential treatment may be justified. For instance, differences of treatment on grounds of age laid down in national laws will continue to be admissible if justified by a legitimate aim and if the means are appropriate and necessary. For instance, the Directive will not prevent the fixing of a specific age for access to education and to certain goods and services.
There is also a specific clause for insurance and banking that allows age and disability to be taken into account in risk assessment, provided that it is based on relevant and accurate statistical data.
Moreover, in access to goods and services, the Directive will only apply to commercial and professional activities, not to strictly private transactions.
As far as education is concerned, Member States will keep the option of providing for differences in admission to educational institutions based on religion. The Directive will not have any effect on measures which exist in national law concerning the status and activities of religious organisations. It will also not be possible to use the Directive to challenge national measures which ensure the secular nature of the State; countries can limit or allow the wearing or display of religious symbols at school.
Finally, the Directive does not interfere with measures which are necessary for public security, maintaining public order and preventing criminal offences, protecting health and the rights and freedoms of others.
What are the next steps?
The Commission's proposal will now pass to the European Parliament and Council of Ministers. It will have to be agreed under the normal legislative process (consultation procedure with the European Parliament and unanimity in Council) before becoming law and finally being implemented in the national legal systems of each Member State.

The video game series that made PlayStation thumbsticks mandatory is now one of the first Sony franchises moving to PlayStation 3's motion controller. We wrote about Ape Escape for Move in Tokyo. In New York yesterday, we shot video.
Sony revealed the new Ape Escape at Tokyo Game Show last month. I didn't know Ape Escape Shake! Shake!, as its Japanese title could be translated, was a lock for America until I spotted it at a Sony showcase this week. I'm not sure if we should call it "Shake! Shake!" Sony representatives weren't clear if that is the name for the Western release.
The video I shot of a Sony man playing the game will help you understand what this new Ape Escape is. You'll see the story part of the game. Story consists of manga-style narrative scenes and then the on-rails section you see here. A gamer uses the PlayStation Move wand controller to swing a net that catches monkeys. With one button press, that net can become a slingshot. With a couple more, it can become a special item, such as the vacuum used in the video. Guided as if on rails, the player advances from one venue to the next, pausing when the game lets them so he or she can swivel their view, aim and swipe at monkeys. Collect bananas for points. Net lots of monkeys to add entries to the Monkeypedia.
The Sony representative who explained this new Ape Escape to me said the new game will also include mini-games, but he wasn't able to show those.
I tried the level in this video as well. It's an early level, simple and decently fun. Like any good light gun game, which this Ape Escape more or less aspires to be, this game will need to offer good rhythms of challenge and variety. Unlike most light gun games, it already has silly apes. That has to be some sort of advantage. Here's hoping its team — the original Ape Escape team, I was told — can get this series right again. A new controller hadn't stopped them before. Why now?

c. 1965: North Vietnamese nationalist leader Ho Chi Minh (1892 - 1969), born Nguyen That Thanh. (Getty Images)
Vietnam's infamous communist dictator Ho Chi Minh was "inspired" by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration of Independence, and the United States Constitution, according to President Barack Obama.
And some think the president went too far with this claim.
Obama's remarks were made shortly after he met with Vietnam's President Truong Tan Sang Thursday morning to discuss finalizing a regional trade pact.
The two also touched on Vietnam's troubling track record of human rights abuses.
"We discussed the challenges that all of us face when it comes to issues of human rights, and we emphasized how the United States continues to believe that all of us have to respect issues like freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly," the president said after the meeting.
"And we had a very candid conversation about both the progress that Vietnam is making and the challenges that remain," he added.
But it was something the president said in his closing remarks that has certain news sites accusing him of "comparing" the communist dictator to Thomas Jefferson.
"President Sang shared with me a copy of a letter sent by Ho Chi Minh to Harry Truman. And we discussed the fact that Ho Chi Minh was actually inspired by the U.S. Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and the words of Thomas Jefferson," President Obama said.
"Ho Chi Minh talks about his interest in cooperation with the United States. And President Sang indicated that even if it's 67 years later, it's good that we're still making progress," he added.
And you know what? The president isn't entirely wrong.
Ho Chi Minh, to a certain degree, was "inspired" by Thomas Jefferson and the founding documents. In fact, Ho famously modeled the Vietnamese declaration of independence after the American Declaration of Independence.
But let's go through this point by point.
First, because words are important here, here's a quick definition of the word "inspire":
in·spire (transitive verb): to influence, move, or guide by divine or supernatural.
This will be important to remember going forward.
Second, we're not saying Ho's revolution was guided by Jerffersonian philosophy. On the contrary, Ho's actions make it quite clear he's on the opposite end of limited government and self-determination.
Ho was interested in totalitarianism.
Still, it's not inaccurate to say that Jefferson and the founding documents helped shape Ho's approach to revolution, revolutionary rhetoric, and anti-colonialism.
For instance, after Ho and his commandos took control of Hanoi in 1945, he proclaimed before an "enormous crowd" that "all men are born equal. The Creator has given us inviolable rights: life, liberty, and happiness!" PBS reminds us.
Sound familiar? There's more where that came from.
"Ho Chi Minh … turned to the United States for inspiration," Susan Dunn writes in Sister Revolutions: French Lightning, American Light.
"Would he have borrowed Jefferson's words for the joyous celebration of Vietnamese independence if he had not understood and identified with the Americans' eighteenth-century anti-colonial revolt, if he had not admired their revolutionary spirit?"
President Barack Obama shakes hands with Vietnam's President Truong Tan Sang during their meeting in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, Thursday, July 25, 2013. (AP Photo)
"Perhaps there was a practical side to Ho's stratagem too. He might have felt that his use of Jefferson's Declaration would impart some legitimacy to his struggle," she adds, "that it would be a signal to the Americans that he respected them, that he wanted their friendship as well as their support for his own sister revolution."
Third, to say Ho drew inspiration from the founders isn't an insult to the founders. Yes, Ho was a totalitarian. But it doesn't sully the Declaration to say Ho found it worth mimicking. It simply means Ho either missed the point (as his murderous reign of terror would certainly indicate) or he saw the value in that type of language -- or value in exploiting it.
Lastly, bear in mind President Obama is trying to broker a regional trade pact with a country that has a shaky relationship with the U.S. It's a delicate situation. The president shouldn't be faulted for what appears to be an attempt to find common ground.
BOTTOM LINE: Make no mistake about it -- Ho was a terrible and brutal man. He butchered his own people. He is responsible for countless deaths.
But it's not inaccurate to say he found some inspiration in the founders.
Did President Obama "compare" Thomas Jefferson to Ho Chi Minh? Absolutely not. Did he bring up a historical fact during trade negotiations with Vietnam's president? Yes he did.

Common Health Problems » General Health Conditions
Source: CVS Caremark Health Resources
Being tired due to a busy schedule and lack of sleep is normal. Being fatigued, on the other hand, could be a symptom of a health condition.
Signs & Symptoms
Fatigue is being more than tired. With fatigue, you:
•Feel drained of energy and have a very hard time doing normal activities and school work.
•Have low motivation and may miss classes often.
•Feel inadequate and have little desire for sex.
•Lack of sleep for long periods of time.
•Burnout and stress.
•Crash dieting and eating poorly.
•Side effects from allergies.
Health conditions that lead to fatigue include:
•Alcohol or drug abuse.
•Autoimmune disorders, including thyroid disease, diabetes, and lupus (the systemic type).
•Chronic fatigue syndrome. The fatigue lasts at least 6 months.
Self-Care / Prevention
•Be organized. Use a daily/weekly/monthly planner to keep abreast of everything you need to do. Prioritize daily tasks, semester goals, etc. Make sure to plan time for exercise, eating, recreation, and sleep. Contact your student Mental Health Service or your academic counselor if you need help or feel overwhelmed.
•Take only the number of semester credits you can handle.
•Don't overextend yourself in extracurricular activities.
•Eat well. Eating too much and "crash dieting" are both hard on your body. Don't skip breakfast. Limit high-fat and/or rich, sugary snacks. Eat whole-grain breads and cereals and raw fruits and vegetables. Keep healthy snacks or meal replacement bars in your backpack to eat when you don't have time to have a meal.
•Get regular physical exercise. Use your school's fitness facilities and/or participate in organized sports, etc.
•Do something for yourself. Do things that also meet your needs, not just those of others.
•Avoid too much caffeine and alcohol. Don't abuse drugs. Don't use over-the-counter diet pills and stay awake pills (e.g., No-Doz). Repeated use of these can make you anxious, jittery, and unable to sleep.
•If fatigue is due to a medical condition, follow your health care provider's guidelines regarding rest, diet, medication, etc.
•Set up good sleep habits.
Questions to Ask
With debilitating fatigue, do you have signs and symptoms of infectious mononucleosis listed on the left?
With fatigue, do you also have these signs and symptoms of hepatitis?
•The whites of your eyes and/or skin looks yellow (jaundice).
•Dark-colored urine.
•Vomiting and nausea.
•Loss of weight or appetite.
•Pain in the abdomen.
•Stools are pale and clay-colored.
{Note: With some forms of hepatitis, no symptoms are present.}
With fatigue and weakness, do you have any of the following signs of diabetes?
•Constant urination.
•Abnormally increased thirst and increased hunger.
•Rapid weight loss or excessive weight gain.
•Extreme irritability.
•Nausea and vomiting.
•Itching and/or skin infections that don't clear up easily.

Signs & Symptoms
•Sore throat.
•Swollen lymph gland in the neck area.
•Pain in the upper left abdominal area.
Symptoms usually last several weeks.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This is spread from person to person through contact with saliva from a person recently infected with the disease. The saliva can be picked up from hand-to-hand contact, sharing eating utensils, and kissing, which is why "Mono" is called the "kissing disease." Symptoms usually appear about 4 to 6 weeks after exposure.
Rest is the mainstay of treatment. Avoiding heavy lifting and contact sports is necessary, because there is a risk of rupturing the spleen with "Mono."
With fatigue, do you have signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism?
•Hair loss and dry, thick, flaky skin.
•Decreased tolerance to cold temperatures and numbness or tingling in the hands.
•Unexplained weight gain.

•Feelings of pins and needles in the limbs.
•Muscle spasms.
•Leg stiffness. Unsteady gait.
•Poor coordination.
•Emotional mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety, euphoria.
With fatigue, do you have any of these signs and symptoms of lupus?
•Joint pain for more than 3 months.
•Fingers that get pale, numb, or uncomfortable in the cold.
•Mouth sores for more than 2 weeks.
•Low blood counts from anemia, low white-cell count, or low platelet count.
•A butterfly-shaped rash on your cheeks for more than 1 month.
•Skin rash (raised patches with scaling) after being in the sun.

COOPERSTOWN, NY – Brewery Ommegang has partnered with Hurricane Sandy-damaged Barrier Brewing Company on Long Island, to create Barrier Relief Ale, a Belgian-style IPA.
Using Barrier's recipe, Ommegang is brewing about 400 kegs of the collaboration ale. Barrier Relief Ale will be sold under the Ommegang label and distributed in Barrier's market in NYC and the surrounding area. Profits will benefit Barrier as they restore their brewery.
"We're rebuilding. We've reordered all of the equipment that we need to be operational again," explained Barrier's founder, Evan Klein. "The goal is to be up and running before the year is out." The company was able to salvage some of its finished beer and currently has limited distribution near Oceanside, NY.
Sandy caused nearly $100,000 worth of damage to Barrier Brewing, which has been operating at their new location on Long Island's South Shore for just four months.
After the storm, Simon Thorpe, President and CEO of Brewery Ommegang and Duvel Moortgat USA, released this statement to the craft brewing industry, "Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY, is fortunate to have been undamaged by Hurricane Sandy. After seeing the devastation wreaked across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast, we'd like to offer our assistance and support to other breweries that may have suffered from the storm."
Klein contacted Ommegang and the breweries decided to collaborate on a beer.
Barrier's Craig Frymark said the opportunity to work with Ommegang is a positive outcome of the storm. "Ommegang is a brewery we've always been inspired by and have admired and to actually be here on the ground making a beer with them is a really exciting thing."
Ommegang began brewing Barrier Relief Ale on November 28 during a visit from the Barrier team. Made with an astonishing 200 pounds of hops, the ale is being called "the hoppiest beer" ever brewed at Ommegang but the collaboration is in keeping with the innovative character of the craft brewing community.
"It was natural to offer a helping hand and foster the communal spirit of the industry," Thorpe said. "The opportunity to brew a beer so outside our traditional style just made it intriguing to us."
Barrier Brewing Company will be at Ommegang on Thursday, December 13, to taste the ale before distribution begins at the beginning of January.
Brewery Ommegang opened in 1997 to craft-brew fine Belgian-style ales. The brewery creates six ales year-round, as well as an extensive and imaginative range of seasonal and specialty ales. The beers have won a national following by connoisseurs of fine beer and are distributed in 45 states and internationally. Ommegang is located on a 136-acre farmstead in Cooperstown, New York, USA and offers free daily tours and inexpensive tastings as well as a 100-seat café, a well-stocked brewery store, and an annual calendar of public events. Ommegang is open every day of the year except for Christmas Eve Day, Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, and New Year's Day. For more information, please contact email@example.com, call 1-800-544-1809, or visit www.ommegang.com. Ommegang is a member of the Duvel family of fine beers.

About NEOGEO
In early 1990, a video game company by the name of SNK teamed up with ALPHA DENSHI (ADK) to develop a video game console. That console was made for arcades, yet at the same time was completely compatible for home use. It was called the "NEOGEO," meaning "new land," and owns a significant chapter in the annals of 1990s video game history.
In 1991, SNK launched the NEOGEO Home Console. Boasting arcade quality games in your own home, the NEOGEO quickly became a fans favourite with many of its pioneering features becoming a benchmark for all future home gaming systems.
A major turning point for the NEOGEO came with the introduction of one-on-one fighting games in the early 90s. This movement had a huge impact on what the NEOGEO was about to become. With the release of "FATAL FURY 2" -- a title that offered the excitement of an authentic fighting game. The developers took advantage of the NEOGEO's power and impressive ROM capacity to create stunning animations, smooth character movement, and excellent graphics, generating an excitement among players that had never been achieved before. In no time at all this game became a smash hit, and its remarkable success increased awareness of the NEOGEO by leaps and bounds.
With the release of other fighting games such as Art of Fighting and Samurai Showdown, the popularity of NEOGEO continued to grow. But it was the release of King of Fighters that saw the most significant change, not only for NEO GEO but throughout the whole world of video games. Prior to KOF, video games had been seen as a largely male past time confined to shady arcades. But with its storyline and leading female characters, for the first time, female gamers started to develop more than just a light interest in the video game world.
3D graphics took the game world by storm in the mid-90s. Titles using 3D technologies significantly altered the direction of video game history. Multiple companies had started selling next-gen consoles at this time, and new buzz words such as "polygons" and "texture mapping" had game fans pumped for something new and innovative. This was a major turning point for arcade games and home consoles alike. The NEOGEO's specialty 2D pixel graphics became more refined as a result of this phenomenon. This technology would be used to create an ambitious title like "ART OF FIGHTING 3", which was actually a 2D game.
A good example of cutting-edge pixel technology at that time was "METAL SLUG". The gritty smell of iron and gun smoke on a battlefield in the near future, along with the comical antics of the unique characters, are what gave this game its appeal. Over-the-top details combined with clever simplicity gave this game a sense of contradictory beauty, hitting game fans already enamoured with the development of 3D technologies like a brick. A well-received sequel to "METAL SLUG" was released in 1998 and even today the new additions to the series continued to sell well, establishing it as a timeless favourite among SNK's offerings.

HARTFORD >> The University of Connecticut on Monday formally responded to a federal lawsuit that claims it reacted to reports of sexual assaults on its main campus in Storrs with deliberate indifference or worse — an allegation it denies.
The lawsuit was filed by four women in November and was amended in December to add a fifth plaintiff. It alleges discrimination based on gender and retaliation in violation of Title IX, which guarantees equal educational opportunities to students at schools that receive federal funds. It seeks unspecified monetary damages and changes in university policies.
Monday's 38-page filing goes paragraph-by-paragraph in responding to the complaint.
"The University strongly denies that it acted with deliberate indifference to any of the plaintiffs," said Richard Orr, UConn's general counsel. "That is the basic legal claim underlying each plaintiff's allegations, and the university vigorously disputes that claim."
The school acknowledges several accusations made in the lawsuit, including that it failed to notify one of the plaintiffs, Kylie Angell, when it rescinded the expulsion of her suspected attacker. But it denies that she had reported the incident at the time as a rape. It also said it doesn't have enough information to confirm or deny her highly publicized allegation that she was told by a university police officer that women have to "stop spreading their legs like peanut butter."
"There are many other allegations for which we do not yet have enough information to respond — as is common at this very preliminary stage of a lawsuit," Orr said.
The Associated Press does not normally use the names of those involved in sexual assault cases, but Angell is among four of the plaintiffs who have gone public with their allegations.
Two allegations involve complaints against athletes. The women's attorney, Gloria Allred, has said she believes the school's athletic culture contributed to the improper handling of those cases.
None of the men involved in the complaint ever faced criminal charges. The attacks allegedly occurred between 2010 and 2013, while the women were students at the school.
The school, in its filing, denies a police officer told one plaintiff that he did not believe her when she reported being attacked by a football player. It also denies that it never asked for the name of a hockey player who allegedly raped another plaintiff.
Orr said the school is constrained by privacy laws from publically commenting on many of the women's specific allegations, but said it will be allowed to use student records in court to do that should the case go to trial.
Allred declined to comment Monday on the school's filing.
The women also have filed a federal Title IX complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, which is investigating.
The case also has prompted legislation at the state Capitol.
A group of lawmakers has said they will push for a bill that would require colleges to provide the victims of sexual assault with immediate information of their rights and options, would allow a victim to report an assault anonymously, require colleges to establish sexual response teams and partner with local sexual assault service providers.
The state in 2012 passed legislation requiring that schools implement protocols for responding to sexual assault complaints. Under that law, schools must create a plan for enforcing court-ordered protective and restraining orders, make campus disciplinary proceedings uniform and transparent, and provide students and employees with sexual assault awareness and prevention programming.
"In 2012, our focus was prevention and requiring policies at every college," said state Rep. Roberta Willis (D-Salisbury), co-chair of the legislature's Higher Education Committee. "This year the focus is about response."

Green pee « The Daily Bayonet
A Florida school has learned a hard lesson about green technology and green math. The plan was to save water, and the planet, by installing waterless urinals in the boys washrooms. Each green urinal would save the school $100 per year in water utility bills. But things went wrong. Horribly wrong:

Sprightly Start to 2013 but 'Old Hands' Support the Market
18 Feb, 2013, 00:01 GMT
LONDON, February 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Rightmove's February House Price Index finds that there are signs of improvement in the health of the property market. At £235,741 the average property asking price is the second highest ever seen in the month of February, just £2,115 shy of the February record set in 2008 prior to the collapse of Lehman Brothers. There are also encouraging signs of life among home-movers too as the Rightmove website recorded its busiest ever month in January. However, Rightmove research indicates that those most likely to buy and sell in 2013 are the 'old hands' with greater access to equity and finance, who have the confidence and the will to move.
Miles Shipside, director and housing market analyst at Rightmove comments: "There has been a sprightly start to 2013 and, while market activity remains patchy across locations and property type, some estate agents are reporting their busiest new year since the onset of the credit-crunch. While encouraging, it's far too early to pop the champagne corks as certain sectors will remain on ice until the return of wider-spread mortgage availability. However, our research suggests that with age comes experience and, more importantly, equity, and it's these old hands that seem most confident to plan a move this year."
With the proportion of those intending to buy for the first-time making up just 22% of all prospective buyers in 2013, the main activity is concentrated on those who have bought before. 29% state they are buying for the second time, while for 49% this will be at least their third purchase. Among sellers, the two most active age ranges are the 45 to 54 bracket - making up 25% of those planning to put their properties on the market in 2013 - and the 55 to 64 year olds who add another 30%. Those aged over 65 contribute a further 16%, leaving just 29% of intending sellers aged under 45.
Shipside adds: "The experienced 'old hands' who have built up equity through previous properties are at an advantage as they can raise the substantial deposits required by lenders. Those who bought thirty to forty years ago reaped the rewards of several price booms and many are now of an age where they wish to downsize, release equity and reduce their outgoings."

Letter, C. Robinson to A. A. Lawrence Esq.
Author: Robinson, Charles
Date: December 18, 1854
Transcription of a letter from the Amos Adams Lawrence Collection, Massachusetts Historical Society. Charles Robinson wrote from Lawrence, Kansas Territory to Amos A. Lawrence in Massachusetts. Robinson thanked Lawrence for his unfailing support of the enterprise of the Territory and claimed his devotion to work done in his interest. He discussed Lawrence's development, having secured the offices of three free state newspapers, but expressed anxiety about the upcoming territorial election. However, Robinson vowed that his men would not resort to fraudulent voting to win the majority over proslavery supporters.

The library manages to depth-sort correctly, even when using items of non-1x1 sizes. I took a look through the code but it's a big project to go through line by line!
There are some questions about the process such as:
- How are the x, y, z values of each object defined? Are they the center points of the objects or something else?
- I noticed that the IBounds defines the bounds of the object. If you were to visualise a cuboid of 40, 40, 90 in size, where would each of the IBounds metrics be?
I would like to know how as3isolib achieves this although I would also be happy with a generalised pseudo-code version.
At present I have a system that works 90% of the time but in cases of objects that are along the same horizontal line, the depth is calculated as the same value.
The depth calculation currently works like this:
x = object horizontal center point y = object vertical center point
originX and Y = the origin point relative to the object so if you want the origin to be the center, the value would be originX = 0.5, originY = 0.5. If you wanted the origin to be vertical center, horizontal far right of the object it would be originX = 1.0, originY = 0.5. The origin adjusts the position that the object is transformed from.
AABB_width = The bounding box width. AABB_height = The bounding box height.
depth = x + (AABB_width * originX) + y + (AABB_height * originY) - z;
This generates the same depth for all objects along the same horizontal x.

Filled with six quirky stages and 24 levels, Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess features creatures that wouldn't claim a podium place in any beauty contests - not that they'd want to.Each one dwells in their own peculiar habitat, making a run for it as soon as The Duke appears, having accused them of stealing his woman.
The levels are themed, creating new experiences as you work through the story. Ah, My Magnificent Castle is where the adventure begins, featuring old stone walls and tombstones as platforms; exactly what you would expect as the home of traditional little demon, The Duke. This level introduces the bizarre Squishface Octo-Thing, who must be defeated before you move on to other levels, such as the aptly named Some Gaudy Caves and Big Stupid Tree.
If you are looking to seriously punish some unsuspecting monsters, gain loads of points throughout each level to unlock some new challenges and serve up some justice.
You are provided with hints and tips before tackling each monster, such as cackling louder or showing off to strangers, and these will (probably) make you perform better within each level.
Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess puts you in control of The Duke, an aristocratic demon who is convinced that his missing princess has (probably) been stolen by monsters. Determined to find the guilty creature, who hadn't the decency to leave a tiny scrap of evidence behind, The Duke accuses just about every monster he finds of snatching his true love from his castle.
As you play through the story you come across the most hideous creatures, each of which is a possible princess thief, and you waste no time blaming them for your loss. In each level you must chase the brutes as they try to escape, and demolish them by attacking them three times.
To catch the culprit, you must chase the monsters as they flee upwards by jumping onto the platforms, building combos on your way. Gained by touching as many platforms as possible, combos boost your energy so you can catch up with the brutal beasts with super speed and then attack them with mind-blowing moves. Touch the same platform twice and you'll have to start your combo all over again.
On the quest for your lady love, gain points through monster-bashing and combo-building to unlock new levels, and discover who has (probably) stolen your princess.

Read the blogs!
Hello all you amazing SMF Wizards! I need your help!!GoDaddy just migrated from 2GH Linux hosting to 4GH Linux Hosting and my SMF forum went down.. 12+ years of content and conversation, gone in a poof I had no control over. Reeeeeeally hopeful someone knows how to get it back online.
SimpleMachines 1.1.21 is known to have issues with php 5.6, so I downgraded to 5.4 (last time it worked was 5.2 under 2GH). PHP 5.4 supposedly works with SMF 1.1.21 - does it not?
Could a CHMOD perhaps be needed because 4GH defaults for files and folders may be different then they were under 2GH? Or would those not change as a result of the upgrade? I made amazing progress just by doing a Save As on a file in UTF-8 instead of ANSI as you'll see below, so I've learned not to overlook the simple stuff.
Oh, and I would prefer NOT to upgrade to SMF 2.0.x if at all poss and lose all custom mods - plus I keep reading about nothing but problems with this upgrade if not done from within SMF, which is unfortunately no longer an option.
Forum link: http://www.fx-knight.com/smForum/index.phpError we are getting:Connection ProblemsSorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.Their tech suspected the issue might be the syntax of the $db_server path in the settings.php file..Used to be:xx.hostedresource.comGoDaddy suggested new ones to try are:xx.secureserver.netxxx.secureserver.netBut.. perhaps unlike WordPress, Simple Machines likes db name to be part of the path as it was originally?What would be the correct syntax starting with fxb072.. and ending with ..secureserver.net?
Or how about the headers error referenced in /Sources/Subs-Auth.php ? Perhaps 4GH uses a different date format that SMF doesn't like?
Connection ProblemsSorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.Their tech suspected the issue might be the syntax of the $db_server path in the settings.php file..Used to be:dbname.db.3857732.hostedresource.comGoDaddy suggested new ones to try are:grid55mysql277.secureserver.netshr.prod.phx3.secureserver.net
Could it be that temporarily existing within, and trying to execute within, a PHP 5.6 environment somehow damaged or corrupted any of the files? So by the time a rolled back to PHP 5.4 the damage was already done? Do we have any info on WHY the forum doesn't work with 5.6? That might help us figure out where to look. Just a thought.
The database itself seems to be sound and uncorrupted. The GoDaddy tech had a look at it. But if there is a tool for checking it I'm open to it.. I have extra copies of it, both online and locally. I can always put one up for you to play with and send you a URL, if that's helpful in diagnosis?Where might I find the installation files for 1.1.21? Trying a fresh install might not be a bad idea.. we could determine IF that version can even run in the new 4GH environment. If not, no sense in looking for a corrupt file or line of code in my version, I suppose?
If they moved your server, then all of the for7m paths have changed. Also, given go daddy's general incompetence, I can pretty much guarantee that the address of your MySQL database has also changed... which would explain the connection problemsYou need to run repair_settings.php and reset the database connection information. And then reset the paths for the forum
I am betting that the database information that they provided is incorrect.that was the case when one of the sites I support moved hosting within GoDaddy... it took moving to level 3 support at GoDaddy to get the correct details
Any tools out there to check database integrity? GoDaddy tech told me it "looked" ok, butboerhaps SMF needs it to be a certain way. Could anything have changed as part of 2GH to 4GH migration?How about CHMOD settings for files and folders? When moved to a new server, to they normally keep their settings, or inherit them from the new server? Any way to check what they are? I only know CHMOD to change them, but not check what they are already..
