Serbia is largely mountainous. Its northeast section is part of the rich, fertile Danubian Plain drained by the Danube, Tisa, Sava, and Morava river systems. It borders Croatia on the northwest, Hungary on the north, Romania on the northeast, Bulgaria on the east, Macedonia on the south, and Albania, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina on the west.
Republic. Serbia was one of six republics that made up the country of Yugoslavia, which broke up in the 1990s. In Feb. 2003, Serbia and Montenegro were the remaining two republics of rump Yugoslavia, forming a loose federation. In 2006, Montenegro split from Serbia.
Serbs settled the Balkan Peninsula in the 6th and 7th centuries and adopted Christianity in the 9th century. In 1166, Stefan Nemanja, a Serbian warrior and chief, founded the first Serbian state. By the 14th century, under the rule of Stefan Dusan, it became the most powerful state in the Balkans. After Serbia was defeated in the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, it was absorbed into the Ottoman Empire. Throughout the 19th century its struggle against Ottoman rule intensified, and in 1878 Serbia gained independence after Russia defeated the Ottoman Turks in the Russo-Turkish war of 1877–1878. In the Balkan wars (1912–1913), Serbia and other Balkan states seized hold of more former Ottoman lands on the peninsula.
World War I began when a Serbian nationalist assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914, which led to Austria's declaration of war against Serbia. Within months, much of Europe was at war. In the war's aftermath, Serbia became part of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (1918). It included the former kingdoms of Serbia and Montenegro; Bosnia-Herzegovina; Croatia-Slavonia, a semiautonomous region of Hungary; and Dalmatia. King Peter I of Serbia became the first monarch; his son, Alexander I, succeeded him on Aug. 16, 1921. Croatian demands for a federal state led Alexander to assume dictatorial powers in 1929 and to change the country's name to Yugoslavia. Serbian dominance continued despite his efforts, amid the resentment of other regions. A Macedonian associated with Croatian dissidents assassinated Alexander in Marseilles, France, on Oct. 9, 1934, and his cousin, Prince Paul, became regent for the king's son, Prince Peter.
Paul's pro-Axis policy brought Yugoslavia to sign the Axis Pact on March 25, 1941, and opponents overthrew the government two days later. On April 6 the Nazis occupied the country, and the young king and his government fled. Two guerrilla armies—the Chetniks under Draza Mihajlovic supporting the monarchy and the Partisans under Tito (Josip Broz) leaning toward the USSR—fought the Nazis for the duration of the war. In 1943, Tito established a provisional government, and in 1945 he won the federal election while monarchists boycotted the vote. The monarchy was abolished and the Communist Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, with Tito as prime minister, was born. Tito ruthlessly eliminated the opposition and broke with the Soviet bloc in 1948. Yugoslavia followed a middle road, combining orthodox Communist control of politics and general overall economic policy with a varying degree of freedom in the arts, travel, and individual enterprise. Tito became president in 1953 and president-for-life under a revised constitution adopted in 1963.
The Rule of Slobodan Milosevic Spurs the Breakup of Yugoslavia
After Tito's death on May 4, 1980, a rotating presidency designed to avoid internal dissension was put into effect, and the feared clash of Yugoslavia's multiple nationalities and regions appeared to have been averted. In 1989, Slobodan Milosevic became president of the Serbian republic. His arch-nationalism and calls for Serbian domination inflamed ethnic tensions and spurred on the breakup of Yugoslavia. In May 1991 Croatia declared independence, and by December so had Slovenia and Bosnia. Slovenia was able to break away with only a brief period of fighting, but because 12% of Croatia's population was Serbian, Serb-dominated Yugoslavia fought hard against its secession. Bosnia's declaration of independence led to even more brutal fighting. The most ethnically diverse of the Yugoslav republics, Bosnia was 43% Muslim, 31% Serbian, and 17% Croatian. The largely Serbian-led Yugoslav military pounded Bosnia, and with Yugoslavia's help, the Bosnian Serb minority took the offensive against Bosnian Muslims. It carried out ruthless campaigns of ethnic cleansing, which involved the expulsion or massacre of Muslims. The war did not end until NATO stepped in, bombing Serb positions in Bosnia in Aug. and Sept. 1995. In Nov. 1995, Bosnia, Serbia, and Croatia signed the Dayton Peace Accords, ending the four-year-long war in which 250,000 people died and another 2.7 million became refugees.
Despite entangling his country in almost continuous war for four years and bringing it to near economic collapse, the Serbian government of Slobodan Milosevic maintained its effective control over the remainder of Yugoslavia. Constitutionally barred from another term as president of Serbia, Milosevic became president of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (which at this stage consisted of just Serbia and Montenegro) in July 1997.
In Feb. 1998 the Yugoslav army and Serbian police began fighting against the separatist Kosovo Liberation Army, but their scorched-earth tactics were concentrated on ethnic Albanian civilians—Muslims who make up 90% of Kosovo's population. More than 900 Kosovars were killed in the fighting, and the hundreds of thousands forced to flee their homes were without adequate food and shelter. Although Serbs made up only 10% of Kosovo's population, the region figures strongly in Serbian nationalist mythology.
NATO was reluctant to intervene because Kosovo—unlike Bosnia in 1992—was legally a province of Yugoslavia. The proof of civilian massacres finally gave NATO the impetus to intervene for the first time ever in the dealings of a sovereign nation with its own people. NATO's reason for involvement in Kosovo changed from avoiding a wider Balkan war to preventing a human rights calamity. On March 24, 1999, NATO began launching air strikes. Weeks of daily bombings destroyed significant Serbian military targets, yet Milosevic showed no signs of relenting. In fact, Serbian militia stepped up civilian massacres and deportations in Kosovo, and by the end of the conflict, the UN high commissioner for refugees estimated that at least 850,000 people had fled Kosovo. Serbia finally agreed to sign a UN-approved peace agreement with NATO on June 3, ending the 11-week war.
Milosevic is Deposed but Nationalism and Ethnic Violence Continue
In the Sept. 2000 federal elections, Vojislav Kostunica, a law professor and political outsider, won the presidency, ending the autocratic rule of Milosevic, who had dragged Yugoslavia into economic collapse and relegated it to pariah status throughout much of the world. In 2001, Milosevic was turned over to the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague, charged with 66 war crimes, including genocide and crimes against humanity. His expensive and lengthy trial ended without a verdict when he died in March 2006.
In March 2002, the nation agreed to form a new state, replacing Yugoslavia with a loose federation called Serbia and Montenegro, which went into effect in Feb. 2003. The new arrangement was made to placate Montenegro's restive stirrings for independence and allowed Montenegro to hold a referendum on independence after three years.
The prime minister of the Serbian state, Zoran Djindjic, a reformer who helped bring about the fall of Milosevic, was assassinated in March 2003. Extreme nationalists, organized crime, and Serbia's own police and security services were implicated.
On March 17, 2004, Mitrovica, in Kosovo, experienced the worst ethnic violence in the region since the 1999 war. At least 19 people were killed, another 500 were injured, and about 4,000 Serbs lost their homes. NATO sent in an extra 1,000 troops to restore order.
In June 2004, Democratic Party leader Boris Tadic was elected Serbian president, defeating a nationalist candidate. Tadic planned to work toward gaining EU membership for Serbia, but in 2006, the EU suspended its membership talks with Serbia, after the country repeatedly failed to turn over Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb commander wanted on genocide charges for the 1995 massacre of 8,000 Muslims from Srebrenica.
Montenegro and Kosovo Declare Independence
In May 2006, Montenegro held a referendum on independence, which narrowly passed. On June 4 the federal president of Serbia and Montenegro, Svetozar Marovic, announced the dissolution of his office, and the following day Serbia acknowledged the end of the union. The EU and the United States recognized Montenegro on June 12.
In Feb. 2007, the International Court of Justice ruled that the massacre of some 8,000 Bosnian Muslims by Bosnian Serbs in Srebrenica in 1995 was genocide, but stopped short of saying the government was directly responsible. The decision spared Serbia from having to pay war reparations to Bosnia. The court's president, Judge Rosalyn Higgins, however, criticized Serbia for not preventing the genocide. The court also ordered Serbia to turn over Bosnian Serb leaders, including Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karakzic, who are accused of orchestrating the genocide and other crimes. In April, four Serbs–former paramilitary officers–were found guilty by a war-crimes court of executing six Bosnian Muslims from Srebrenica in Trnovo in 1995. The judge, however, did not link them to the massacre in Srebrenica.In May 2007, a Serbian court convicted 12 Serbs, including former paramilitary police officers, in the 2003 assassination of pro-reform prime minister Zoran Djindjic. The sentences ranged from 8 to 40 years.
Negotiations between the European Union, Russia, and Washington on the future of Kosovo ended in stalemate in November 2007.
Tomislav Nikolic, of the hardline nationalist Radical Party, prevailed over Tadic in the first round of presidential elections in January 2008, taking 39.6% of the vote to Tadic's 35.5%. Tadic prevailed in February's runoff election, winning 50.5% over Nikolic's 47.7%.
Kosovo's prime minister Hashim Thaci declared independence from Serbia on Feb. 17, 2008. Serbia, as predicted, denounced the move. Serbian prime minister Kostunica said he would never recognize the "false state." Ethnic Albanians, who were brutalized by the Yugoslav army and Serbian police in 1998's civil war, took to the streets in jubilation. International reaction was mixed, with the United States, France, Germany, and Britain indicating that they planned to recognize Kosovo as the world's 195th country. Serbia and Russia, however, called the move a violation of international law. Albanians make up 95% of the population of Kosovo.
Ongoing Internal Strife and Controversy Over Kosovar Independence
Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica dissolved the government on March 8, 2008, stating that he could not govern with President Tadic, who is in favor of gaining European Union membership and improving relations with the United States. President Tadic called for early elections in May.
On May 11, 2008, President Tadic's coalition won parliamentary elections with 38.7% (103 of 250 seats) of the vote. The Serbian Radical Party earned 29.1%, the Democratic Party of Serbia 11.3%, the Socialist Party of Serbia 7.9%, and the Liberal Democratic Party 5.2% of the vote.
Parliament in July approved a new government, composed of the Democratic Party, led by President Boris Tadic, and the Socialist Party, which was formerly led by Slobodan Milosevic. The Democratic Party's Mirko Cvetkovic became prime minister. The government vowed to tame the nationalistic fervor that has raised concern internationally, particularly when Kosovo declared independence in February 2008. Cveetkovic also said Serbia will reach out to the West and join the European Union.
Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb president during the war in Bosnia in the 1990s who orchestrated the massacre of almost 8,000 Muslim men and boys in 1995 in Srebrenica, was found outside Belgrade in July 2008. He altered his appearance and had been openly practicing alternative medicine in Serbia. His trial at The Hague began in October 2009.
On October 8, 2008, in a rare move, the United Nations voted to request that the International Court of Justice review the manner in which Kosovo declared independence. Serbia, which initiated the request, considers Kosovo a breakaway territory that acted illegally in declaring independence. Most European Union members abstained from voting on the request.
Serbia Seeks Admission into the European Union
In December 2009, Serbia applied to join the EU. The Serbian parliament apologized for the massacre of Bosnian Serbs at Srebrenica in a landmark March 2010 resolution. Delaying Serbia's request for EU membership was the fact that two major war crimes suspects were still at large. However, the arrest of former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic and Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic in 2011 eliminated the last remaining roadblocks to Serbia's path to EU admittance, and in March 2012 the EU declared Serbia a membership candidate. Mladic's war crimes trial opened at the Hague opened in May 2012. The EU cleared Serbia for membership talks in April 2013 after Serbia and Kosovo normalized relations in a groundbreaking deal in which Serbia acknowledged that Kosovo's government has control over all of Kosovo, and Kosovo in turn granted autonomy to the Serbian-dominated north. Serbia stopped short of recognizing Kosovo's independence, however.
Nationalist leader Tomislav Nikolic—a former ally of Slobodan Milosevic—pulled off a surprise victory over incumbent Boris Tadic in the second round of presidential elections in May 2012. Nikolic's win followed parliamenteary elections in which his center-right Serbian Progressive Party and its partners took 73 out of 250 seats. Nikolic has tempered his extreme nationalism and now favors European integration.
Mladic War Crimes Trial Delayed
On May 16, 2012, the trial of former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic began. The prosecution recounted the atrocities that soldiers directly under Maldic's command allegedly performed. Mladic refused to make a formal plea. The court entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
On the following day, a judge suspended the trial due to errors made by the prosecution in handing over evidence to the defense. The prosecution acknowledged that there were delays in giving documents to the defense.
New Prime Minister Sparks Fear of Return to Nationalism
In late July 2012, Ivica Dacic, who leads the same socialist party once led by Slobodan Milosevic, was sworn in as prime minister. Dacic also once worked as a spokesman for the Socialists. Therefore, his appointment to prime minister raised concern internationally that Serbia would return to nationalism instead of continuing to move toward European integration.
Dacic and President Nikolic, also a former archnationalist, have both vowed to embrace the European Union and leave nationalism behind. A founder and former leader of the Serbian Progressive Party, President Nikolic defeated incumbent Boris Tadic in May 2012. Tadic was well liked in international circles, especially in Washington and Brussels, but he was accused of corruption in Serbia.
In parliamentary elections held in March, 2014, Serbia's ruling center-right conservative Serbian Progressive Party won a significant victory, securing at least 100 more seats than the second-place finisher, the Socialist Party of Serbia. The new prime minister, Aleksandar Vucic, has promised to fight corruption, improve the nation's struggling economy, and push for membership in the European Union.

Southern Strike IV unites Afghan security forces
For the first time in Spin Boldak district, the Afghan Border Police and the Kandahar Air Wing teamed to complete a major military operation Nov. 15-18.
The two Afghan National Security Force entities combined to provide humanitarian aid and stability throughout the rural region during Operation Southern Strike IV.
With Southern Strike IV, the ABP were in the lead for the entire mission, including the planning, coordination and execution phases of the operation.
"We didn't have any problems with the coordination," said Lt. Abdul Azim Nooree, an officer with the Afghan Border Police. "We made plans for the operation with the KAW 205th Atal Corps of the Afghan National Army."
The KAW delivered an estimated 3,000 pounds of humanitarian aid to two villages in Spin Boldak district. More than 45 ABP policeman and 12 KAW aircrew members flying three helicopters participated in the operation.
Displaying the ABP's ability to plan and run an operation independently was a goal set by the security force assistant team members. The cooperation of four kandaks played a large role in the coordination of the operation within the Spin Boldak and Takte-Pol districts.
Each of the four kandaks in 3rd Zone contributed to the planning sessions in advance of the operation.
With Southern Strike IV completed, the ABP look forward to working with the ANA as well as other ANSF forces including the Afghan Uniformed Police in the near future.
"We have better security in Afghanistan with the ANA, ABP and AUP working together," Nooree said. "We hope to display a stronger presence in Afghanistan by uniting the three forces to make the security stronger and better for the future of Afghanistan."

Economists see tepid third-year recovery for Florida job marketby Jeff Ostrowski
Florida's job growth will accelerate in the third year after the Great Recession, but not as dramatically as in the past two recessions, according to a report by Florida TaxWatch.
The red lines in the chart above show job growth in the third year after the 2001 and 1990-91 recessions.
"The expected 2 percent job growth, though far better than none at all, will fall noticeably short of previous recoveries," the report said. "The unemployment rate will decline only gradually and the recovery will continue to be sluggish, even into its third year."

Local man brings people together through song
Remember those lost at Pearl Harbor during a patriotic sing-along at 6 p.m. Friday at Sultana High School, 17311 Sultana Street in Hesperia.
HESPERIA • While waiting in line to audition for NBC's prime-time show America's Got Talent, Matthew Woods used his charisma to get the long line of aspiring stars to sing together in prefect harmony, catching the eyes — and ears — of the production staff.
Woods was told that if he could rally enough people together to sing, he could send in video footage and have a chance to be featured on the show, which includes a $1 million prize and a chance to headline a show in Las Vegas. Auditions kicked off in Los Angeles for the shows eighth season, which will be premiering sometime in early 2013.
But Woods, a musician and a father of two Sultana High School teens, isn't doing it for the fame or the money.
"Music is a way to bring people together," Woods said. "There is lot of division in our country and if we can sing together its a really cool thing."
Woods is inviting the public to join him at 6 p.m. Friday at Sultana High School's Powder Puff football game and sing the National Anthem and "The Star-Spangled Banner" in remembrance of those who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
"The way I encourage people to sing is to give them a reason — that's my talent," Woods said. "I believe everybody can sing even though they don't think they can. It's an incredible thing when you hear that many people singing together."
Woods anticipates that 4,000 people can fit comfortably in Sultana's football stadium, and that guests should sit as close to the 50 yard line as possible. Although copies of "The Star-Spangled Banner" will be provided courtesy of Victor Valley College, Woods is still looking for a volunteer who is able to video record and splice the footage to submit to the judges panel, which includes star judges like Howie Mandel and Howard Stern. For more information, contact Woods at (760) 954-0275.

Parcopa Side Effects
Generic Name: carbidopa / levodopa
Note: This document contains side effect information about carbidopa / levodopa. Some of the dosage forms listed on this page may not apply to the brand name Parcopa.
Some side effects of Parcopa may not be reported. Always consult your doctor or healthcare specialist for medical advice. You may also report side effects to the FDA.
For the Consumer
Applies to carbidopa / levodopa: oral conventional tablets, oral extended-release tablets, oral orally disintegrating tablets
Side effects include:
Dyskinesias (choreiform, dystonic, other adventitious movements), nausea.
For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to carbidopa / levodopa: oral tablet, oral tablet disintegrating, oral tablet extended release
Although the optimal timing of the initiation of levodopa therapy is controversial, some investigators have suggested that early treatment of parkinsonism with levodopa delays disease progression and decreases mortality.
Adverse effects attributable to levodopa occur frequently regardless of whether carbidopa is taken concomitantly or not. In contrast, carbidopa is fairly well tolerated and is rarely reported to cause adverse effects. Carbidopa may reduce the incidence of vomiting, nausea and anorexia in patients treated with levodopa. Carbidopa, however, does not alter the frequency of central adverse effects.
Nervous system
Choreiform movements due to levodopa therapy may occur in as many as 80% of patients treated for one year and frequently involve facial grimacing, exaggerated chewing and twisting and protrusion of the tongue.
Several types of motor fluctuations may occur and result in "bradykinetic episodes". Some motor fluctuations are related to the timing of dosage administration. For example, patients may experience "peak of the dose dyskinesia" and a wearing-off effect called "end of the dose akinesia". The "wearing-off" may result in early morning dystonia. Such motor fluctuations may be managed by increasing the frequency of dose administration and decreasing the dose administered (or possibly by use of extended release formulations) to achieve a smoother therapeutic effect.
Other motor fluctuations are not related to the timing of dose administration. Such fluctuations are characterized by sudden loss of levodopa effect which may last for minutes to hours and result in akinesia followed by a sudden return of levodopa effect. These "on-off" fluctuations may occur many times per day. "On-off" fluctuations may respond to more frequent dose administration.
Finally, akinesia paridoxica is a sudden episode of akinesia which occurs as patients begin to walk. Akinesia paridoxica frequently results in falls and often responds to levodopa dose reductions.
Other adverse nervous system effects due to levodopa include myoclonus, sleep disturbances (including insomnia, daytime somnolence, altered dreams and episodic nocturnal myoclonus), Meige's syndrome (blepharospasm-oromandibular dystonia) and ocular dyskinesia. In addition, the orofacial movements induced by levodopa have occasionally been reported to cause severe dental erosion.
Some investigators have suggested that levodopa may cause brain dysfunction and may have negative effects on cognitive performance.
Levodopa "drug holidays" have been proposed by some investigators as potentially beneficial (perhaps by causing dopamine receptor resensitization). However, the therapeutic value of these drug holidays is controversial.
Nervous system effects occur in as many as 50% of treated patients on long-term therapy and include involuntary movements and mental status changes most frequently. The types of involuntary movements due to levodopa have been characterized as choreiform, dystonic and dyskinetic. Fluctuations in motor function occur frequently and often increase as the duration of therapy increases.
Exacerbation of preexisting ulcer disease with severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding has been reported.
Gastrointestinal side effects including nausea and vomiting are the most common adverse gastrointestinal effects of levodopa. Anorexia and, rarely, gastrointestinal hemorrhage have been reported.
Psychiatric effects include hallucinations (particularly visual hallucinations), psychosis, confusion, anxiety, mania, hypomania, depression, rapid mood cycling, nightmares, and hypersexuality.
Some authors have suggested that clozapine may be useful in the management of levodopa-induced psychotic symptoms.
Other investigators have suggested that levodopa may induce alterations in the noradrenergic systems of the CNS which may lead to panic attacks.
Fever, altered consciousness, autonomic dysfunction and muscle rigidity are the hallmarks of the neuroleptic malignant syndrome. The neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is associated with a case fatality rate of about 20%. If withdrawal of dopaminergic therapy is suspected as the cause of NMS, dopaminergic therapy should be restarted. If a neuroleptic agent is suspected as the cause, the neuroleptic agent should be immediately discontinued. For patients with NMS suspected to be due to neuroleptic therapy, consideration should be given to dantrolene (or bromocriptine) administration. Intensive monitoring and supportive care are indicated for all patients with NMS.
Sudden discontinuation or rapid tapering of levodopa therapy may result in acute worsening of parkinsonism or, less frequently, in a syndrome resembling the neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Cases of psychologic levodopa addiction have also been reported rarely.
Cardiovascular effects include hypotension and syncope. Arrhythmias have also been reported rarely.
Some authors have reported marked hemodynamic and clinical improvements in patients with congestive heart failure treated with oral levodopa. However, at least one author has reported marked hemodynamic deterioration following such treatment.
Dermatologic side effects including a number of cases of malignant melanoma have been reported in patients taking levodopa for Parkinson's Disease. Additionally, several cases of maculopapular skin rashes have been reported in patients taking levodopa-containing drugs.
Despite reports of melanoma occurring in levodopa-treated patients, some authors have suggested that a causal association is tenuous and other authors have suggested that levodopa may have an antitumor effect on melanoma. Nevertheless, the manufacturers of levodopa-containing drugs report that either the history of melanoma or the presence of suspicious skin lesions is a contraindication for the use of levodopa-containing drugs.
One author has suggested that some rashes reported in association with levodopa therapy may be related to the presence of a yellow dye in Sinemet 25/100.
Immunologic side effects including rare lupus-like syndrome have been suggested by some authors.
Hematologic side effects including severe hemolytic and nonhemolytic anemias have been reported rarely.
Respiratory dyskinesias (occasionally of life-threatening severity) have been reported.
Hepatic effects including asterixis (without abnormalities of liver function tests) have been reported rarely. The manufacturer of levodopa-containing products report that abnormal liver function tests may occur.
Endocrine side effects including elevated urinary vanillylmandelic acid levels during levodopa therapy have occasionally let to confusion concerning the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.
Renal side effects including Hypokalemia and hyponatremia have been reported. Chronic administration of levodopa may also slightly but significantly increase BUN without changes in the glomerular filtration rate.
Hypersensitivity, type III, adverse effects have been reported in a 68-year-old man with Parkinson's after the use of carbidopa-levodopa, which manifested as purpura of the limbs, vasculitis and glomerulonephritis. The diagnosis of Henoch-Schonlein syndrome was confirmed after drug rechallenge.

The Korean War gets no respect. When was the last time you played a Korean War-themed game, let alone a good one? Or heard about the war on TV, or read a good book about it? Even the most famous TV show about the Korean War, MASH, was really about Vietnam.
This is too bad, really, as the Korean War straddled an important divide in military history. On the one hand, it was the last of the "modern" wars - in the mold of WW1 and WW2 – in that the armies formed up into lines, wore uniforms, and fought over territory. On the other hand it was the first of the "postmodern" wars, where overwhelming force and technological advantage were not the keys to victory. There is a lot to examine in this conflict.
Into this void steps "Theatre of War 3: Korea" (ToWK). Unfortunately, in this case stepping into a void means doing a faceplant. There is precious little to like in this game, and what there is is buried beneath bland graphics, bad interface design, slow speed, questionable game mechanics, and general bugginess.
The overall play of ToWK is divided into strategic and tactical modes. This is not a new idea, and is gaining popularity as a way to merge a turn-based strategic mode with a real-time tactical mode within the same game. When done well (rare) both modes enhance the other – strategic decisions impact tactical situations (e.g. by choosing favorable battlefields) and tactical outcomes shape what strategic decisions are available. "The King's Crusade" is a good example of a recent attempt at this game design.
The strategic map has limited options (place your units in this sector or that) and makes for a simple game: if you place your units where there are no enemy units, you automatically capture the sector. If there are enemy units there, prepare to enter the tactical map.
As in most of these hybrid TBS-RTS games, the tactical map is where most of the action happens. The basic gameplay on the tactical map will come as no surprise to anybody who has played an RTS before. ToWK has all the usual Korean-War-era suspects - infantry, tanks, and helicopters – along with the crowd-pleasing air strikes and mortar barrages. The modeling of these units is the highlight of the game. Units are modeled down to the individual soldier and stats are kept for such details as ammunition level, rate of fire, range, armor thickness and morale, among many others. Although it is hard to tell from looking, the entire setup gives the impression that combat and its surrounding factors have been realistically modeled.
The problem is not in the realism, however, but in the problems a player will have in actually playing the game, and the enjoyment derived therefrom. To start, the interface is complex. There are at least 13 different basic actions an individual infantryman can take, some of which have sub-actions. None of these actions are clearly presented in the interface, leaving the player to hunt around the screen like they lost their glasses until the whole mess can be memorized.

Try the tomato-basil pizza. It rocks! Hell, all the pizza rocks! Amazing food. Really nice staff. I truly enjoyed it.
Michelle and April make the best sweet shots - cupcake, banana split, key lime and something wirth white chocolate liq. Be ready to take your pants off over your head - late night! More calm early.
Come Tuesday nights for some Jazz and be sure to try the Texas Sunrise and Blueberry Pomegranate martinis - absolutely amazing!
If you want to feel warm and cozy, with good food and wine, Ravenna is the spot.
Absolutely unexpected and delicious!!! Will definitely be back again!
Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, killer wine list. This place is 5 stars for me!
So happy this restaurant is in Dallas! Id eat here way to much if it were in Wisconsin!!! I come here MULTIPLE times every year in July!! ????
food was amazing and service too! – The other i stopped by this restaurant and have to say to i was pleasantly surprised, after ordering suppa di mare i can honestly say that it was the best i had in a long time, the sauce was so flavorful and the ingredients were fresh, the bread was warm out of the oven and homemade....nedless to say that i am a big seafood lover and know how to recognize a good dish, also the waiter was checking on me and my dad often, he was courteous and even gave us a little info about what we could do after dinner around that area..since we dont live in that area. I recommend this place if you are looking for a good quality meal at a descent price in downtown dallas. By the way, the place is not too big...but cozy and with nice atmosphere and music. I will come back to this place next time i am around.
Blah... Do Not Waste your time or $ – The food was plain and boring. No seasoning. We cound not understand the waiter. It wasn't a clean environment. I really wish we would have gone to another venture during our stay in Dallas instead of Ravenna's. Zero stars from my family.
Avoid booking large parties at this place. – Avoid dining at this restaurant if you are considering a large party. I traveled with a large group from the west coast and booked the private dining area for 28. I discussed the menu options with "Kevin", one of the managers and we were all set. In addition, one of my girlfriends also spoke to the manager who committed days in advance that they could accomodate our request. Two days later (and a day before my travels to Dallas from California) I received a call from the owner that he had since "fired" Kevin and that they could not accomodate my party for the cost comitted to me ($17 per person for penne pasta with marinara, garlic bread, green salad and fountain drinks - no alcohol or dessert). Not only was this manager completely unreasonable, he was rude as well and offered no possible solution - other than for me to reduce my menu and cut out the $6.50 salad to meet the $17 price. The next day when we arrived in Dallas, our event ended early so I called the restaurant to find out if our room would be ready earlier (since I reserved a private room). At that point, the same owner told me that he would not be ready for me early and in fact, somebody else was using the room. The room I had reserved for 28 would not be ready until 8:30 at the earliest. Needless to say, my friends and I had to find another location to enjoy dinner - which we did! I would never recommend this place and I certainly wouldn't even give it one star although that's the lowest rating possible.

If a team loses nearly half of its roster to graduation, including the starting quarterback, leading rusher and leading tackler, a down year could be expected.
First and foremost, Flowery Branch senior quarterback Kanler Coker says his job is to move the chains when he gets under center.
A typical football helmet doesn't look like it does in the advertisements.
For teams in subdivided regions, including all local teams other than those in Region 8-A and 8-AAAA, this is, for all intents and purposes, the final week of the regular season.
Gainesville recorded its second shutout of the season on the way to a 48-0 rout of Walnut Grove on Friday in Walnut Grove.
After four weeks of strong play on both sides of the ball, North Hall's winning streak came to a screeching halt on Friday night against Franklin County.
DAWSONVILLE - All Dawson County wanted this season was a chance to reach the state playoffs.
FLOWERY BRANCH - Flowery Branch found itself in a close game for the second straight week on Friday, leading only by seven at halftime.
The Lakeview Academy Lions notched a workmanlike win over Georgia Military College, winning 14-7 on the strength of disciplined play and a solid running game.
West Hall fell to Monroe Area 34-0 on Friday night in Monroe.
BUFORD - If Buford continues to play defense like it did Friday against No. 3 Greater Atlanta Christian, then winning its fifth consecutive Class AA state title is just a formality.
JEFFERSON - Jefferson used its running game and had enough big plays to outlast Jackson County 31-14 Friday night in a Region 8-AA South rivalry game at Panther Stadium.
A dominating defensive effort produced White County's first shutout in two seasons, but wasn't enough to keep the Warriors' playoff hopes alive.
Union County edged Rabun County 10-7 on Friday night in Tiger.
Stephens County defeated Lumpkin County 40-7 on Friday night in Toccoa.
For Flowery Branch, tonight's game at second-ranked Northside-Warner Robins is more than a season opener.
For all the eye-popping statistics that Deshaun Watson posted during his record-setting 2012 season, the categories where he avoided large numbers may have been just as important to Gainesville's state championship run.
Chattooga at East Hall
Antonio Pittman's role as a West Hall Spartan has been increasing ever since he first stepped onto the field in Oakwood.
Dawson County struck big in crucial situations to open the season Friday against East Hall in Gainesville. Leading by a small margin with five minutes left to play, Tigers (1-0, 1-0 Region 7-AAA) quarterback Zack Buchan hit running back Cody Lamar in the open field on a third-and-long at the 30 and ran 70 yards for the score, propelling Dawson County to a 29-27 win.
Andrew Smith and Brannon Dyer were the catalysts for the North Hall offense in a 42-31 scrimmage win against Salem (Va.) on Friday in Virginia.
OAKWOOD - This year, the Battle of Oakwood went to the Spartans of West Hall.

There is no off option on my Intel Graphics HD display manager.
How do I force vsync off?
Hi there!
The latest Intel graphics drivers does not provide an option to turn off Vertical Sync, you will need to take a look within your game options or programs settings for a place to disable such feature.
To disable vsync on older Intel® graphics products, set Asynchronous Flip to On and click Apply. With newer Intel graphics products, set Vertical Sync to No and click Apply.
This instruction from Intel is wrong, there is no Vsync No option in control panel for newer Intel graphics products.
OMFG. fix this already god damn it.
2013 and I can't turn OFF VSYNC.
Is there something I can do ?
CS 1.6 is stuck at 60 FPS because of this.
I don't have enough money to buy a 120Hz monitor.
Intel PLSEASE help us to force disable VSync or buy 120Hz monitors for your customers please.

cellular(sel´ū-l&r) (adj.) Refers to communications systems, especially the Advance Mobile Phone Service (AMPS), that divide a geographic region into sections, called cells. The purpose of this division is to make the most use out of a limited number of transmission frequencies. Each connection, or conversation, requires its own dedicated frequency, and the total number of available frequencies is about 1,000. To support more than 1,000 simultaneous conversations, cellular systems allocate a set number of frequencies for each cell. Two cells can use the same frequency for different conversations so long as the cells are not adjacent to each other.
For digital communications, several competing cellular systems exist, including GSM and CDMA.

Family Practice Nurse Practitioner Information:A family nurse practitioner is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) who has completed graduate-level education (either a Master's or a Doctoral degree). To become licensed/certified to practice, Nurse Practitioners hold national board certification in an area of specialty (such as family, women's health, pediatrics, adult, acute care, etc.), and are licensed or certified through the state nursing boards rather than medical boards. The core philosophy of the field is individualized care. Nurse practitioners focus on patients' conditions as well as the effects of illness on the lives of the patients and their families.
One should see a family nurse practitioner when seeing a doctor or physician. They generally work in the following places:
Community clinics, health centers and urgent care centers
Health departments
Health maintenance organizations (HMOs)
Home health care agencies
Hospitals and hospital clinics
Hospice care
Nurse practitioner practices/offices
Nursing homes
Nursing schools
Private & public schools, universities and colleges
Physician/private medical practices
Family nurse practitioners treat everything a certified nurse is capable of doing. The treatments range from administering medication, administering IVs, talking vital signs, and assisting during surgical procedures.
One sub specialty is pediatric nursing.

Barrow man's death case dropped by court
Published at 16:51, Wednesday, 14 November 2012
THE aunt of a man found dead after a suspected street attack says her family may never know how he died after a court cleared the man accused of his manslaughter.
Paul Green, 44, died after he was found unconscious with serious head injuries in Penrith Street, Barrow, in May.
Andrew Logan, 43, had been due to stand trial for his manslaughter next week – but was cleared due to lack of evidence in Preston Crown Court yesterday.
Mr Green, of Adelphi Court, was the last of three brothers to die in tragic circumstances.
His brother, Barry, was stabbed to death in Barrow Park in November 1999, and their other brother, David, died from leukaemia, aged 11.
Yesterday Mr Green's aunt, Gloria Rooney, 58, of Cheviot Hill, Barrow, said the family had been plunged into uncertainty and distress by the court's decision.
She said: "We will probably never know what happened, which is hard. We have got to live with it."
The news had been particularly hard for Mr Green's father Barry, who is in his 60s and is battling pancreatic and throat cancer, she said.
She said: "Something has happened but the police just can't get to the bottom of it.
"It is a bit mind-blowing, because we have got to live with the fact that Paul can't come back and tell us."
Yesterday, the Crown told the court it would not be able to continue with the prosecution due to gaps in evidence surrounding the case.
Crown prosecutor Jon Close said there was evidence Mr Logan, of Dalkeith Street, Barrow, had escorted Mr Green out of the Rams Head Hotel, in Rawlinson Street, on May 3 and had ended up "stood over" him as he lay on the ground.
However, there was no evidence Mr Logan followed him to where he was eventually found.
Witnesses living near Penrith Street reported hearing a disturbance in the street but there was no evidence Mr Logan was involved in this.
A pathologist had also said it was possible the fatal head injury had been caused by him falling when he was drunk.
Police have appealed for anyone who may have fresh evidence about Mr Green's death to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Bob Qazi said: "The police believe, from the evidence and information gathered, that Mr Green did not die as the result of a random attack and would urge people in Barrow not to fear for their safety as a result of this investigation not being resolved.
"The police will take seriously any information received and, where necessary, will act upon it."

"This bioinspired brain-machine interface is a remarkable technological and biomedical achievement," Professor Grégoire Courtine of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) said in a press release. "Though plenty of challenges lie ahead, these sorts of systems are rapidly approaching the point of clinical fruition."
Researchers implanted the electrode array into the brain of a 52-year-old, quadriplegic female patient. The array connected to a robotic hand, which mimics movements of a human wrist and fingers. Though the patient underwent 14 weeks of computer-assisted training, she was able to control the prosthetic within the first 2 days.


text: Green Energy Powers Up Ohio companies, schools, farms and other organizations are turning to on-site renewable energy generation projects to meet some or all of their electricity needs. Published on: Jun 21, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Cooper Farms, a producer of poultry and pork products, recently installed three 1.5-megawatt wind turbines in 2011 and 2012 at its Van Wert location. The project produces 12 million kilowatt hours annually and offsets approximately 80% of the facility's electrical consumption. Other companies and individuals are looking at ways to generate their own electricity. As the green energy movement gains popularity, Ohio State University's College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences is offering training and other educational resources to help businesses and other organizations make informed decisions on energy investments, including the feasibility of implementing on-site renewable energy projects.Green Energy Powers Up On-site renewable energy production is part of a larger trend called distributed energy, which involves the generation of power through small, modular, decentralized energy systems located in or near the place where the energy will be used. Expansion of distributed energy generation systems is being incentivized by states and utility companies via net-metering policies that allow consumers to generate their own electricity to offset a portion of what they purchase from a utility, said Eric Romich, an Ohio State University Extension field specialist in energy development and leader of OSU Extension's Energize Ohio signature program. "Ohio is one of three states in the U.S. that has no capacity limit on net-metering systems," Romich says. "This allows Ohio businesses to essentially neutralize the amount of electricity they purchase from a utility by investing in on-site electricity generation projects." To disseminate details about Ohio's energy policy and share renewable energy strategies implemented by local companies, OSU Extension organized a workshop last March at Owens Community College in Findlay, focused on the development and financing of on-site green energy projects. ~~~PAGE_BREAK_HERE~~~ Co-sponsored by JobsOhio, the workshop provided participants with information and experiences from a panel of experts, including representatives from Ohio State, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, the Ohio Treasurer's Office, First Energy, the Toledo Port Authority, One Energy LLC and Vaughn Industries. Featured during the workshop were northwest Ohio companies that have recently implemented distributed energy projects at their facilities. Built by Findlay-based wind power company One Energy LLC, the Cooper Farms project was completed using over 90% Ohio labor, One Energy President Jereme Kent says. "This is a financial investment. It just happens to be green," Kent says. "We will never tell you, 'Go spend six or seven million dollars to be green.' We will tell you, 'Spend six or seven million dollars to be profitable, and if you can be green while doing this, great.' " A project like the one built at Cooper Farms has a four-to-six-year return on investment, including warranty and maintenance costs. A smaller project, this time involving solar power, was implemented by First Citizens National Bank at its main Upper Sandusky office in 2011. The 189-panel, 50-kilowatt system covers 10,000 square feet of the bank's rooftop. Developed and installed by Vaughn Industries of nearby Carey, the solar power system now produces 20% of the bank's electricity needs. "We started looking into solar as part of an overall 'going green' campaign that includes recycling programs, e-statements and e-banking," says Mark Johnson, bank president. "It's been a very successful project in terms of the installation and the power that it has produced." ~~~PAGE_BREAK_HERE~~~ Johnson said the project has a three-year payback period and is warranteed for 25 years of operation. As of February 2013, the system had generated 114,899 kilowatt-hours of electricity and avoided 184,662 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, he says. "While financial savings and payback periods will vary on a case-by-case scenario, on-site distributed energy generation projects offer a variety of potential benefits," Romich says. "These include increased reliability, reduction of peak power demand, improvements in power quality, reduced emissions and decreased price volatility." Nancy Bowen-Ellzey, an OSU Extension field specialist in community economics and co-organizer of the workshop with Romich, added that carrying out on-site energy projects also demonstrates a company's investment in a current location for the long term. "With a good plan and reputable contractor, these projects are very beneficial for companies," she says. Romich and Bowen-Ellzey said OSU Extension is working with JobsOhio and other partner organizations to organize similar distributed renewable energy workshops in other regions of the state. Also, the Energize Ohio signature program is developing a fact sheet on distributed energy generation. The Findlay workshop is available online (PowerPoint slides and audio). Source: OSU Extension.

My WH's LT, emotional A was mostly online through emails, IM's and chat rooms. It progressed to phone and snail mail over time.
Prior to the LTA, he had many years of "cyber" play with women...activities he deemed "harmless flirting" that went from private chat rooms to IM's....and it was very sexually explicit.
He also spent a lot of time on porn sites with the womnan he had the A with, finding sexual position photos they imagined trying with each other, etc.
We fought about how much the online "playing" hurt me, but nothing ever changed. I just got an apology and a promise that it wouldn't happen anymore, but it always did.
My WH is one of the
"offenders" who dosn't believe what he did was wrong because it wasn't actually physical contact. (although it almost turned out to be because he and the OW were going to meet and get together.)
If any of you have dealt with internet issues in your marriage, I welcome you to become my roommates here..free of charge.
Better off I sparkle on my own ~ Anna Nalick
mine however is not into porn..lucky me I guess..
He, too, still does not think there really was anything wrong with it..but we can atleast agree some of it was inappropriate...
We are trying to work on it!
My story should be in my profile.
The A started online and escalated into phone sex calls and him buying her gifts and then meeting her and spending an entire day with her.
Strike had an online EA twice, with the same woman.
Consisted of posting on messageboards, IM'ing and PM'ing. Supposedly not "sexual" but VERY flirty and crossed the line big time.
First time lasted about 2 months, then I caught him. Had no contact for 8 months when he sought her out again. This time lasted 3-4months.
He says it was because of his depression, he didn't feel he could talk to me, so he used her to make himself feel better. The flirting was to keep her interested so he could talk about his problems.
"True commitment begins when we reach the point of not knowing how we can possibly go on, and decide to do it
she was his support when he quit drinking, also according to him other people too...he couldn't supposedly talk to me either...
I'm wondering, is this usually the case, there always a problem we couldn't help them with and is that just their way of trying to place the blame?
sheisnothappy, I don't know. I know my H has a looooong history of conflict avoidance, and fear of disappointing people.
One of the 2 big things I'm struggling with is how I could be replaced by a computer screen
one problem I keep having and this was even before my dday..(because I have somehow(my gut) known for the last year)
my wh has a very healthy um libido most of the time..I am always wondering to myself, when he pulls himself away from it for "it", was he just talking to someone?
He, too, claims that he never cheated because he never actually had sex with these women. BUT ... he met at least one in person, and was heavily into trying to arrange some afternoon delight with another when he was found out.
My hope is that someday he realizes what it was he did, because he sure doesn't see it my way at this point in time.
It is so painful (and infuriating) to sign up for these sites and find his profiles. The good news is that they've been inactive. The bad news is that they ever existed at all.

"It serves me right for putting all my eggs in one bastard."
- Dorothy Parker
My FWH's infidelity was online...never did anything physically that I found out about. He was on alt.com, AFF, and a few other websites though.
He was chatting with real women in our area, sending e-mails, initiating the e-mails you name it....all the while ignoring me sexually. I kid you not, we literally only had sex 3 times in 2 years....and it wasn't because I wasn't trying. He turned ME down all the time.
I finally installed a keylogger on our computer because he was beginning to get lazy, and I'd slowly find things on the computer...which of course he'd deny when I'd confront him. I installed a "free" trial version of a keylogger thinking "this is just going to prove I'm wrong about this", only to find out within 10 hours what he was really up to.
Oh, I forgot to mention...we had been going to marriage counseling for a year and a half too when I found out....he NEVER let on what he was doing.
It was very nearly the end of our marriage. We've made it through though and now have a much better relationship than we ever had before.
FWH met FOW online in a chatroom...EA to PA to LTA...
Without MSN, my wife's A would never have begun....at least not with the OM. (I'm sure it was just a question of time, looking back with the knowledge I have now).
Hers was a 3 year LTA, with 4-5 hours of on and off chatting via messenger every working day.
"The term mistake infers a level of ignorance, innocence and naivety. And a lack of intent and planning." - Craig Harper
Never make anyone a priority who makes you only an option.
Well, I guess that makes me lucky....though now that I think about it, is it worse that he KNEW it was wrong and did it anyway, or if he thought it was okay in the first place?
He was planning a future with the last one. It was emails, chatting, phone calls, gifts, etc. They were both trying to figure out a way to meet up at a hotel as well!
After he lost his job he was supposedly looking for jobs online. I found out he was online look but it wasn't for jobs. He met MOW online, he emailed back any forth with the ONS he had and had 3 cybersex partners by the summer I kicked him out. He also had atleast 5 accounts on various sites listed as married and look or single and looking. With a website tracker installed I knew what he was looking at only to find out he was trolling like this while I was not 10 feet away.
The end result was him exposing the kids (7 and 10 at the time) to various pictures and videos of his. He had al kind of disgusting pics of himself he was also sending to people he had never met.
He said that he really didn't think it was cheating. He and the MOW never had sex ( I caught him before they did I am sure) and the cybersex was not sex other than he prefered it to sex with me.
Needless to say I am going to have serious issues down the road with internet usage of a partner in any new relationship because I am still traumatized by it all. I watch my kids like a hawk when they are online because I don't want them to be harmed any more by it.
The essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.
A clean house is the sign of a broken computer.
When my parents bought her the laptop in Jan 06. We had a big fight because I didn't want her using it outside the family room, and only while I was there. She ended up throwing my laptop on the ground breaking the screen, and stormed outta the house to her friends house for a week. Her excuse was that I still didn't trust her, and didn't respect her to never to do it again. Hindsight is 20/20. Couple of weeks later Cybersex->Phonesex->Porn pic she took of herself->Meeting up with guys->Flying in guys->Sex at the local truck stop->vacations to met up with->ETC
What a slut..
It has been my observation and experience that outsiders often belittle the level of betrayal and the devastation caused by this form of infidelity ("just an EA," "just on the computer" etc. ) and that just adds an extra level of devastation and betrayal.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 5831
I like it when people sew the binding together! I DON'T like it when people leave their staples open for my weary little fingers. I happened to get stabbed by one offending zine following a fair on Sunday and will not be reading that zine.
For stapling, you can also use a regular-length stapler and staple into a carpet or corkboard, then bend down the sharp ends with your thumb. Might want to put a band-aid on first though, and it obviously wouldn't be economical for big print runs. (Also, had no idea that there were different types of staples in different countries... VHS tapes, DVDs, AC plugs, and now staples, you learn something new every day.)
In another note, please please please do not make an "educational" zine that uses wikipedia as a source. C'mon guys, I saw a few of these at the Chicago zine fest last year and wondered why the effort was made to make a zine this way.
i once got an email from a guy who told me my zine was too much like a blog or diary entry. he told me i needed to write more reviews because thats what other zines did. he'd obviously never heard of a perzine, and i highly disagreed with him, but i did look back on the issue i had given him, and saw how the writing could have been better.
i still don't think it is anyone's place to tell you what to put in your zine (because the whole point of a zine is to write or draw whatever you want!), but i put a lot more thought into my writing now. i think about if this is just something i'd post on my livejournal or if its really "zine-worthy." thats probably more of just a personal choice but maybe something for new zinesters to consider?
At Goodwill, we have numbered pages, and since it is on the thicker side, a table of contents is great. It's essential to have contact information, volume, and issue, if not a specific date, a month is good. We set up a facebook page for easy contact and event information, as well as a website with back issues and more detailed information on contributers and interviewees. We also take submissions this way anonymous or otherwise. We learned the hard way about cluttering up pages with too much text and images, making margins too small, etc, and are still learning!
In another note, please please please do not make an "educational" zine that uses wikipedia as a source. C'mon guys, I saw a few of these at the Chicago zine fest last year and wondered why the effort was made to make a zine this way.
This is such a great topic! So many good points have been hit on already that I find it hard to come up with something beneficial to add. I definately agree that the binding of a zine is important, as well as page numbering and contact information. If someone really enjoys yr zine and want to let you know this they can only do so if they have yr contact information or if they want to pass yr name and contact info on to others who may like yr zine... a lack of contact information is really only going to harm the zinester.
I think its important to always remember to give appropriate credit in yr zine to others who have contributed or to others whom you have "borrowed" information - it's like writing a paper in school... you need to be sure to reference where you obtained information so that proper credit is given and copyright infringement is avoided. And if you decide to review another zine within yr own zine.... PLEASE include contact information on that zine. I have found myself interested in a zine after reading its review but to only be disappointed that there was no info on how I could obtain that zine.
And when using black and white copies of photographs in yr zine....please make sure they are not so dark that the reader cannot make out what the picture is of. I find that if I have to spend a lot of time trying to decipher what something is that I lose interest in that zine rather quickly and it gets put aside and may or may not be picked up again at a later date.
A lot of good points here, but now I might just go ahead and make a zine out of all the 'do not' suggestions by everyone else.
Stand by for my unstapled, unidentified black and white zine full of dark images that shouldn't have been photocopied, with no contributor bios, tiny font, rubber bands hanging off various pages, etc, etc...
I'm quite new to zine making (I've only been making zines for about a year) that I learned over the past year that I learned over the past year and well...I learned because they were little mistakes I made along the way:
1. Never staple together the master copy even though you can easily take out staples stuff can very easily get accidentally ripped. It makes photocopying a little bit more difficult then it needs to be.
2. don't forget to number your pages this is so important!! Order mistakes can create so much unnecessary frustration.
3. Invest in a good quality glue stick. I had to replace my glue stick three times because it ran out on me when trying to glue together zine pages, it was very annoying. I blame the shitty quality of the glue.
4. Don't forget to include contact info and name.
5. don't forget to factor in margins if not words could easily be cut off.
I think clearly pricing your zine is pretty important, too. That way people know what the cost is for ordering and don't have to waste time (and potentially postage) asking.
And, while editing is important, you should have someone else look over it, too. Chances are, you've been staring at your zine content for somewhere ranging from days to weeks. Let someone look at it with fresh eyes. Case in point? I worked on my zine for almost a month leading up to Philly Zine Fest last year, was very pleased with the content and having gotten done in time. I had a collate/fold/staple party with a friend, and it wasn't until she got home with a copy that we realized I had misspelled the name of my zine on the cover. Yup. That happened.

At the root of much of the dispute between Democrats and Republicans over the so-called fiscal cliff is a deep disagreement over the welfare state. Republicans continue to fight a long-running war against Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and many other social-welfare programs that most Americans support overwhelmingly and oppose cutting.
Today's Economist
Perspectives from expert contributors.
Republicans in Congress opposed the New Deal and the Great Society, but Republican presidents from Dwight D. Eisenhower through George H.W. Bush accepted the legitimacy of the welfare state and sought to manage it properly and fund it adequately. When Republicans regained control of Congress in 1994 they nevertheless sought to repeal the New Deal and Great Society programs they had always opposed.
Energized by their success in abolishing the principal federal welfare program, Aid to Families With Dependent Children, in 1996, Republicans tried to abolish Social Security as well, through partial privatization during the George W. Bush administration, and they more recently have attempted to change Medicaid into a block grant program with funds going to the states and to turn Medicare into a voucher program.
