S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks was Gary in full-on funhouse mode, having a high old time mixing elements of Jim Ward's Gamma World with fantasy to create a rollicking and memorable AD&D adventure."
ometime else, a large exploration-colonization expedition of human origin was overtaken in the course of its journey by a deadly plague. In a vain effort to halt the spread of the virus, the modular sections of the vessel were sealed and then separated, each left to its own fate. The section concerned here was drawn through a black hole and spewed into the universe where the World of Greyhawk fantasy setting exists.

Times West Virginian
FAIRMONT — Consol Energy released a statement Tuesday regarding the fatal vehicle accident near the Loveridge mine:
At 6:10 p.m. Monday, Consol Energy was notified by an independent surface drilling subcontractor that one of its employees who was performing work near the Loveridge Preparation Plant was fatally injured when a small core drilling rig he was operating rolled over.
Consol Energy granted Seitel Inc. access to its property to conduct geophysical seismic testing, for which it had obtained the necessary permits. The independent testing was not associated with Consol Energy's active coal mining or gas operations.
State and federal agencies as well as OSHA were notified Monday evening and are onsite today to begin investigating the cause of the incident. Consol Energy will provide updated information related to the investigation as it becomes available.

Earlier today, the FDIC voted to move forward a proposal that would place restrictions on private equity groups seeking to participate in restoring failed banks. The WSJ reports:
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s board of directors on Thursday voted to seek comment on a proposal that would set new limits on allowing private equity firms to purchase failed banks. The staff proposal calls for investors to maintain certain capital levels at the acquired bank—a minimum 15% Tier 1 leverage ratio for at least three years—and would put other restrictions on ownership changes and where credit can be extended.
Beyond the capital requirements, the proposal would prevent certain types of investment structures from purchasing a failed FDIC-insured institution. Specifically, agency staff said it would not be appropriate to allow firms "involving complex and functionally opaque ownership structures" to buy a failed bank. Bair said the FDIC has already received bids from some firms whose legal structures raised red flags, which is one of the reasons they want to put the new rules in place.
This proposal is troubling, especially considering there have been 51 bank failures in the past 18 months. When private equity very interested in investing in these failed banks to bring them out of bankruptcy, such restrictions threaten to extend the amount of time failed banks feed off FDIC life support. The WSJ report continues:
But critics were quick to suggest the proposal in its current form would be too prohibitive and would discourage private equity investment.
"It may be well intentioned but I think it could guarantee that there will be no more private equity coming into banks," investor Wilbur Ross told Dow Jones Newswires. Ross' investment firm was part of the private-equity consortium that negotiated with the FDIC to acquire failed Florida bank BankUnited FSB in May. [...]
Comptroller of the Currency John Dugan said he was concerned that some of the restrictions are too onerous, and suggested they should be scaled back before a final rule is put in place.
Dugan was not alone in his concerns. The requirement to keep the bank "well capitalized" even after three years and other restrictions that could affect smaller shareholders could dissuade private equity firms from buying banks, said Lawrence Kaplan, an attorney at Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP.
"Even in proposed format, it's very frightening to entities that are not used to dealing with the government," Mr. Kaplan, a former attorney at the Office of Thrift Supervision, said of the proposal.
So the question becomes, why is the FDIC doing this?
"There is a significant need for capital and there's significant capital out there...We want to accommodate that, but accommodate it in a way that is prudent," FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said in a statement. [...]
Regulators, however, are wary that private investors may not be committed to the long-term ownership of a healthy bank and that allowing some firms into the market could just result in future bank failures.
"We are particularly concerned with the owners' ability to support depository institutions with adequate capital and management expertise," Ms. Bair said.
Thus is the problem with market regulation, it too often restricts opportunities to create wealth. It is understandable that the FDIC be prudent in who is sells the banks it has receivership power over too. Afterall, they have to clean up the mess if the bank fails again. But it is also imprudent to require three year interest stakes in a bank when dozens of banks are sitting around looking for buyers.

The staff was amazing. They booked us in a room that someone was staying in. For the inconvenience they compted us two tickets to any of the following two places: horse drawn carriage ride at palmetto carriages, tickets to Fort Sumpter, or tickets to the aquarium. The continental breakfast was good, but possibly due to the extensive amount of food they offered it lacked greatly on taste.
I didn't like that they didn't have their own parking lot. We shared a parking deck with public parking and the cost was $16/day.

The staff had our room ready on our arrival. All were friendly and helpful. Front desk workers were knowledgeable about local attractions and restaurants. Location was ideal.

This hotel really made us feel that if we needed it, someone would attend to it right away. Unexpected suprise with the concierge service with breakfast, tea and evening champagne service in parlor. John was absolutely terrific as well as Suzanne and Kelly. The really seemed to enjoy their job and talking to guests. Mike the valet jumped to help you when he way you and the alyssa and kelly at the front desk were always smiling when you needed their help. Can't say enough about the staff. Value for the money was good. Drinks were a little over the top in expense. Please ad a few lower cost alternatives at downstairs and rooftop pool. We are not cheap and realize where we were staying but their are too many alternatives near by to no have some options in price. Overall, terrific hotel that we would definately recommend and will return to in the future.

Love that there's a little gym and pool area here! The maids were great and always cleaned thoroughly. Staff were kind, helpful, and provided the Southern hospitality we were hoping for. The room itself was perfect, with a cozy seating area, an incredibly comfortable King bed, and TV for lounging around during downtime. But I must say, possibly the most memorable aspect of the room was the beautiful bathroom and amazing shower with a large ceiling shower head and additional handheld that really made for a luxurious spa feel! The location was also right in the downtown area, steps away from Charleston's best restaurants and cute boutiques! Great hotel, and would love to stay at some of their other locations.
We did order coffee by the poolside that took quite awhile for room service to get to us, after waiting for about half an hour at the pool bar, we were charged about $17 for a small French press. It didn't seem worth the wait or price for a couple cups of coffee, and discouraged us from ordering room service the rest of the trip. But a small hickup in an overall amazing stay at the Belmond.

It was great location. Short drive to the beach or down town. Staff was nice.
The pool was kinda small and not that clean parking spaces are small. Balcony doors are not usable.It was a little over priced for the room. But over all not bad. The breakfast on the top floor was nasty. Not worth the 10.00 a person. They said breakfast was free for children but still tried to charge us for them.

The front desk staff was very helpful with directions and suggestions for dinner, breakfast and how to maximize our one night in town.
The parking garage is not attached to the hotel but for our next stay we will valet the car so this problem isn't much of one.While the rooms are old, they have been modernized and were very nice. The bathroom was small but plenty big enough to do the business that must be accomplished in there. Shower had amazing water pressure and we were thrilled with the room overall. Marika (possibly misspelled) at the front desk remembered that we had a bad night in Charleston (at a different hotel) before and she sent chocolate covered strawberries to the room with a card wishing us a better stay this time. For every future trip, this will be our hotel.

This hotel is perfectly located near downtown historic Charleston. We were just minutes (walking) from the Market and shopping areas. The hotel is beautiful and the staff was excellent.
The chair in our room had a wire protruding out from the bottom, which scratched my 9 month old.... other than that, the hotel was perfect. I was able to push the wire back into place myself.Well maintained and beautiful property. Staff was courteous and professional. Easy parking in the garage across the street and centrally located so that you can walk to many historic places downtown.

Centrally located in the historic district and incredibly helpful staff.
I was hoping for some comfortable seating in the room, the housekeeping staff used tons of febreeze (or something in the room) to the point that I had to request they stopped as it was difficult to breathe.Overall the location, price, and staff make this a worthwhile location.
Excellent 9.0
Very convenient, clean, staff very knowledgeable about local restaurants, tourist attractions and other things to do.
It was a small thing, the vending machine would not accept dollar bills and I had to go down to the front desk for change. I told three staff members about the problem and it wasn't corrected until the night before we checked out.Great room, great location, great staff. I enjoyed our stay, the room was very clean, great air conditioning, and while the wine and cheese tasting was of average quality it was a very nice amenity that allowed us to meet other guests and more of the staff.

The Llano Del Rio socialist colony ruins on the Pearblossom Highway in the Mojave Desert. About 45 miles north of Los Angeles in the Antelope Valley, the community was built in 1914. For several years Llano prospered with farming, canning, and a fish hatchery. Due to a conflict over water rights the settlement was abandoned in 1917. 200 of the 600 residents boarded a train for Louisiana where they established New Llano. The history of the new settlement was profiled by LPB's American Utopia program.
The British author Aldous Huxley moved to a 40 acre ranch in Llano in his later years. Huxley's 1944 children's book The Crows of Pearblossom was recently re-released with wonderful illustrations by Sophie Blackall. Huxley's former ranch is now a filming location. Someone recently told me there's a Frank Black song called Llano Del Rio. The County of Los Angeles Public Library's page on the Antelope Valley has some great historical photos of Llano.

On the Salience of Ethnic Conflict
Article Citation

A classical theme in social analysis views economic class divisions as the main cause of social conflict. Yet many, if not most of the conflicts we observe today appear to be ethnic in nature. It appears that the "vertical" nature of class divisions is often dominated by the "horizontal" antagonisms across groups delineated by noneconomic markers. This paper highlights the perverse synergy of economic inequality within ethnic groups, and its role in the salience of ethnic conflict. In a model of group formation which allows both class and ethnic groupings to emerge, we show that ethnic, as opposed to class, conflict may be focal, and precisely in the presence of economic inequality.

This month, we celebrate Dragon #400—a truly impressive milestone! The first issue of "The Dragon" appeared back in June 1976—which means this month also marks the publication's 35th anniversary. To help observe this double celebration, we've asked past editors and editors-in-chief to share a few words about what Dragon has meant to them, as readers, as gamers, and as staffers.
Dave Gross's time at Dragon spanned issues #230 (June 1996) through 287, first as editor and then as editor-in-chief. We spoke with Dave about his time at the magazine—which saw both the transition of TSR to Wizards of the Coast, as well as the 2nd to 3rd Editions of the game.
Wizards of the Coast: Before you started working on Dragon magazine, can you remember the first issue you may have bought, read, or that simply resonated with you?
Dave Gross: The first issue I remember is The Dragon 32, with the wonderful Phil Foglio "Christmas Morning" cover. While I loved the articles, my favorite part of the magazine was always the cartoons. I was a huge fan of "Dragon Mirth," "Fineous Fingers," "Wormy," and "Phil & Dixie." Whenever I see a gamer taking himself or our hobby too seriously, I want to hand him some of those classic strips.
Wizards of the Coast: What did Dragon mean to you then, as a gamer?
Dave Gross: I'd been playing D&D for several years before I discovered Dragon, so it was proof that my friends and I weren't the only ones spending our weekends indoors scribbling on graph paper. Also, since I lived in a town with only one small hobby shop devoted primarily to model trains and airplanes, the ads were a big deal. They were the only way I would have known other games existed.
Wizards of the Coast: How did you make the transition from reader to working on the magazine?
Dave Gross: While teaching English at James Madison University, I saw a notice that Polyhedron Newszine was hiring an associate editor. It was a pretty low-level position, so TSR didn't fly me in for a face-to-face interview. Instead, I talked with Skip Williams and Jean Rabe on the phone. It took weeks for a travelling Vice President to approve the hire, so I had to choose whether to attend Gen Con or save my money for what I hoped would be my new job in Wisconsin—I couldn't afford to do both. The VP signed the forms right after Gen Con, and I sold choice bits of my comics collection to finance the move. Upon my arrival, Jean recognized me as one of her volunteers from a previous Gen Con, so we were off to a great start.
Wizards of the Coast: When you became editor (and then editor-in-chief), were you given any mandates regarding Dragon's content? What was your own vision for where you wanted to take the magazine?
Dave Gross: The executives felt that Dragon should focus on TSR games, especially what was then Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. There was little room for maneuvering on that point, but it wasn't a complete heartbreaker, since I was a big fan of the various campaign worlds. Including articles on them gave us a sense of variety. Once I became editor I wanted to add more "crunchy bits" to articles that were otherwise almost all "flavor." Much of the time, this was just a matter of asking a writer for a few sidebars with brief rules. I also had a soft spot for anything historical or literary that could fit into a variety of campaigns.
Wizards of the Coast: How would you describe your time working with Dragon, perhaps in terms of alignment?
Dave Gross: Definitely lawful. I'm sure those whose articles I bought considered me good, while those I rejected considered me evil. I'm content to split the difference with "neutral."
Wizards of the Coast: During your tenure, were there any particular articles or issues that stood out to you—either as exemplary of what you wished for the magazine, or that were just particularly difficult to put to bed?
Dave Gross: One of my early favorites was Jon Picken's "The Murder Medieval," which annotated a surprisingly long list of mystery novels set in ancient periods. I love plot-based adventures, and I can't think of another article that provided me with so much inspiration material.
Another favorite was the centerpiece of our 3rd Edition issue, which we hoped would let players who'd just picked up the new Player's Handbook start a campaign immediately. Ian Malcolmson wrote a wonderful Robin Hood setting and adventure, and Stephen Daniele created a gorgeous poster map. It was our chance to create a tiny campaign all in one issue.
Wizards of the Coast: Who were your contemporaries at the magazine (and your predecessor as editor-in-chief)? Did they give you any words of wisdom for Dragon?
Dave Gross: At TSR, Michelle Vuckovich, Liz Baldwin, and I were the editorial staff, while Larry Smith somehow managed all the art direction and design. Pierce Watters was our editor-in-chief before we joined the Wizards of the Coast collective and he became publisher. It was then that Christopher Perkins joined us to edit Dungeon, and Jesse Decker came aboard as assistant, or as I preferred to call him, "flunky." After that, it all becomes a blur of promotions, transfers, and spontaneous combustion.
Wizards of the Coast: Do you have any words of wisdom of your own for future Dragon staffers?
Dave Gross: It's a job, and sometimes there's pressure from six different directions at once, but at its heart it's still about a game and having fun. Don't forget to enjoy it.

Mozilla Prism Puts the Web on Your Desktop
The Mozilla Foundation has just released Prism, the pre-release version of an application that removes a Web application's reliance on a browser. The software, which was previously only available for Windows, is now available as version 0.8 for Linux and Mac OS X.
The Prism project originally started life as Webrunner. It is a kind of lean Web browser that does without typical browser controls. When launched, Prism prompts the user for the Web address of the application and an intuitive name, and asks whether it should set up a desktop link. If the users says no, the setup dialog just complains, but otherwise Prism launches the selected Web application in a separate window.
Users can extract the start command from the shortcut file on the desktop and integrate the command with the start menu. The command has a syntax of "/ Installation_location/prism/prism -webapp email@example.com". You can enter a command of this kind to the Web application on the local system, possibly entering a username and password for the application.
Just like the future Firefox 3 version, Prism also supports offline use of Web applications. The developers also plan to support 3D graphics hardware and to do away with the installation dialog in the longer term. The aim is to let users drag and drop Web applications from the browser onto the desktop.

By Vivian Conrad | Senior Center Director
Gracias. Merci. Gratias vobis ago. Kamsa-hamnida. Sheh Sheh. Danke. Arigato. Spasiba.
There are many ways to say thank you. But at this moment I can't find a word big enough to express the depth of gratitude I'm feeling.
Outside our center's back door sits a brand new storage shed, paid for by the people of this community. From the ladies who dug into their purses for handfuls of change to the business owners who wrote hefty checks, residents of our town rallied to help meet the Senior Center's need. Then Dave Snell of Allstate Plywood and Lumber contributed a generous discount on the price and installation of the building. We are extremely grateful to everyone who made this project possible.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kerry Collins threw for two touchdowns and 237 yards and Chris Johnson ran for a TD and 130 yards as the Tennessee Titans snapped a six-game skid by beating the Houston Texans 31-17 on Sunday.
With the win and Indianapolis downing Jacksonville 34-24, the Titans (6-8) keep their anemic playoff hopes alive for another week with their first victory since Oct. 24.
The Houston Texans (5-9) have lost seven of their last eight and never really were in this one.
Most of the attention coming in was on Texans receiver Andre Johnson and Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan after they brawled three weeks ago in Houston's 20-0 shutout win. The only scuffle Sunday came between a couple of linemen as Tennessee took control from the start, scoring on its first three possessions for a 21-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission at the behest of two lawmakers confirmed Friday they would be investigating whether Southern California Edison knew of safety problems with new equipment before they installed them in the embattled San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in 2009-10.
"Today, the NRC confirmed that an expansive investigation is underway into the completeness and accuracy of information that Southern California Edison provided to the NRC related to the replacement of the steam generators," Sen. Barbara Boxer stated in a release.
"The NRC has also confirmed that it is reviewing the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Report to determine whether Southern California Edison fully complied with its legal obligations. This investigation is a critical factor in determining
Boxer called for the investigation, accusing the companies of knowingly committing safety violations at the nuclear plant.
Mitsubishi manufactured the faulty steam generators, components which use radioactive water to boil pure water to turn turbines that make electricity. A January 2012 steam leak shut down the plant and revealed that the steam generators were riddled with faulty heat-exchange tubes.
Southern California Edison denies they were aware of safety problems before the installation, part of a $674 million upgrade project.
The national environmental group Friends of the Earth, leading a coalition of state and local groups, have accused Edison of ducking a license amendment process that would have caught the design flaws in the generators that led to the damage.
A public meeting with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is scheduled for Tuesday in Capistrano Beach to update residents on the progress of deliberations. The NRC is deciding whether it will allow Edison to move forward with its plan to restart half the plant at partial power.

I ordered this Massager and got the delivery in about 6 days. The packing was very good and intact.
The massager is definitely worth the money. Both my parents suffer from leg and foot pain and I was looking for a long term solution. I was a bit sceptical about how effective it would be especially since the price is a bit high however it works and the pressure point massage system adds a more extended relief period.
The massager has a kneading mode which emulates the way a human hand would give a massage. The vibration mode can be used for a better blood circulation. No heat is produced no... (Expand)

I have tried this myself and I feel that it will surely help people relieve from leg/foot pain.

HOUSTON – Child Protective Services confirmed to KHOU 11 News on Friday afternoon that a 3-year-old girl is dead and that her mother faces charges of child endangerment.
Sabrina Maria Deleon is in the Harris County jail after she was arrested on Wednesday and charged with child endangerment.
The investigation began earlier this year when Deleon was involved in a car accident. Deleon was suspected of driving under the influence, while her 6-year-old was present in the vehicle.
An investigator with CPS who was assigned to Deleon's case began questioning the mother on the whereabouts of her 3-year-old Lee-onna Ramirez and discovered that the daughter was missing.
According to KHOU's sources, Deleon told investigators several different stories about what happened to the little girl.
"In talking to mom, the worker became concerned that the mom's explanation of where the 3-year-old was not ringing true," said Gwen Carter with CPS.
A judge granted a request to have Deleon's 6-year-old child removed from her custody after CPS called for an emergency hearing Friday morning.
CPS is not giving any details about why they think they child is dead or where she might be at this time.
KHOU spoke with Deleon's cousin, Christina Gonzalez, who said that their family did not realize that the 3-year-old girl was missing. The family thought that CPS had taken the child away from Deleon, because she did not provide proper care for the little girl when she was sick with a high fever.
"She said CPS had them, that she went to the hospital and that CPS took the baby away from her. So everybody didn't think anything like this," Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez said that the family did not start questioning the situation until investigators informed them that CPS did not have Deleon's daughter.
"The investigator came and said CPS didn't have her, that's when we all started asking her questions. We just found out that she gave a confession saying that the baby is dead," Gonzalez said.
Deleon's family said they hope that the truth about what happened to the child is revealed.
"Just for the baby's sake, we hope she tells us what really happened so we can have a proper burial," Gonzalez said.
Authorities said that more charges would not be filed until their investigation is complete.

How many calories must a dieter cut to lose a pound?
Please share.
The answer most dietitians have long provided is 3,500. But recent studies indicate that calories can't be converted into weight through a simple formula.
The result is that the 3,500-calorie rule of thumb gets things very wrong over the long term, and has led health analysts astray. Much bigger dietary changes…

Bye-Bye Blu-Ray
Beyond DRM restrictions with the new Lib-Ray project.
In February 2011, Terry Hancock explored distribution options for a web video series project scheduled to be release within the next year or two. "Like everyone else, I was annoyed by the restrictions Blu-Ray video puts on users, but I was genuinely shocked by the way that the Blu-Ray Disc Association has used legal tools to force content producers to release with DRM. There needs to be an option for those of us who want to opt-out," Hancock says.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — United Stockings Sailors Soldiers is not asking for donations at this point, even though there has been a woman going around asking local businesses for monetary gifts, said U.S.S.S. founder Teresa Manna.
The group fills Christmas stockings for the military, often with non-perishable foods, sunglasses, personal items, clothing, tools and Christmas items. Stockings have been sent to American troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, Germany, Italy, Korea, deployed naval ships and bases on American soil.
United Stockings takes all kinds of donations. Many local businesses and organizations have been generous, Manna said. But recently, a person not associated with U.S.S.S. has been going around asking for financial donations on behalf of the group.
The group isn't taking any donations for 2013 yet, so the person is acting without the consent of U.S.S.S., Manna said.
"We are not soliciting," she said.
Manna said she found out when a local businessperson contacted her asking Manna about the donations. To counter this, Manna said anyone asking for donations for the group will have an identification badge with Manna's signature.
"We're doing something for the military and someone is stealing from the military," Manna said. "I've got a problem with that. We need it to stop."
If a person has any questions, they can contact Manna at 438-8075 or on the U.S.S.S. Facebook page. The group's email is email@example.com.
Manna said charges will be filed against the individual.
