TECHNOLOGY PAPERSHow to Use Imaging Colorimeters for FPD Automated Visual Inspection The use of imaging colorimeter systems and analytical software to assess display brightness and color uniformity, contrast, and to identify defects in FPDs is well established. A fundamental difference between imaging colorimetry and traditional machine vision is imaging colorimetry's accuracy in matching human visual perception for light and color uniformity. This white paper describes how imaging colorimetry can be used in a fully-automated testing system to identify and quantify defects in high-speed, high-volume production environments.February 27, 2015 Epoxies and Glass Transition Temperature Gain a better understanding about glass transition temperature (Tg) and why it is one of many factors to consider for bonding, sealing, coating and encapsulation applications. In this paper, we explore how temperature impacts the performance of polymers, why glass transition temperature is significant, and how it is measured. Tg can be an extremely useful yardstick for determining the reliability of epoxies as it pertains to temperature.January 09, 2015 Enhancing the Reliability of Flip Chip Assemblies with Underfill Encapsulants More Technology Papers The development of epoxy based underfill encapsulants marked a turning point for flip chip technology, and the semiconductor industry. Underfill encapsulants are carefully formulated to ensure flowability, an acceptable CTE, and other desirable properties. In this white paper, we explore what properties are required for effective underfills to ensure reliability and quality in flip chip applications.October 07, 2014 |

Larsen, Auditor Members of the News Media Chairman Allen called the meeting to order. Minutes of the meeting of November 19 meeting were approved as mailed. The Chairman welcomed Mr, Larsen, State Auditor, and asked him to take a few minutes and address the Council. Mr. Larsen stated that he had supported the resolution which provided for the Treasurer and Auditor to succeed themselves in office. This resolution passed in the 1965 Legislature. He stated that he had always had some reservations about changing every four years from the Treasurer's office to the Auditor's office. He stated that when he took over the Auditor's duties, he did not make a complete change-over in personnel. I replaced those auditors who had reached retirement age or who quit to take other jobs. All of the auditors on my staff are graduates of an accredited university and two of them are CPA's. I believe I have upgraded the auditing procedures in the Auditor's office. I have asked the Legislative Council to recognize me as the Legislative Auditor. The auditing profession is one of the most important jobs in the state. I do not think there has been sufficient communication between the Legislature and the State Auditor. We are in need of management as well as checks and balances. We have gone into the pool car deal, and we have made some very good recommendations. We have just completed auditing the highway patrol and we have made some recommendations there.

Smartgeometry director Shane Burger wears a modified Oculus Rift to immerse himself visually within a 3D augmented reality.
Credit: John Nye
Against a backdrop of mountainous buildings and towering mountains, the 112 designers, programmers, artists, mathematicians, and academics had gathered in a large, open-plan studio at the Chinese University of Hong Kong to reimagine how urban environments can be designed. Many were hunched over laptops. In one corner, a group stacked 3D prints to the ceiling. Another huddled inside a custom-made inflatable dome they had built. A few people soldered circuits while others danced slowly under motion sensors tracking their movements.
It was 11 p.m., and people were tired and tense. They had been working nonstop for nearly four days. In a few hours, they would present their work in an exhibition of new technologies for the design of urban environments. This was the frantic pace of SmartGeometry.
Now in its 11th year, the annual workshop is perhaps the only event where professors, senior BIM managers, students, and software developers all work together. Unlike a typical workshop, no one plays the role of instructor or student; everyone pitches in on projects that address their shared interests in design technology. This year, 10 research groups, or "clusters" in SmartGeometry's lexicon, investigated technology related to the theme of Urban Compaction.
The Resilient Networks cluster developed a plugin for Rhino that enables designers to visualize how failures cascade through a network.
Held in mid-July, SmartGeometry brokered new territory this year. It is the first time that the workshop has been held in Asia, and the first time that it has focused on urban design rather than architecture. Shane Burger, one of the event's directors, says this year represents "where we think the industry will go in the next five to 10 years." It's a new direction for the event and for the industry; a vision of the future in which architects adopt a vast range of technology, most of which is still experimental.
The culminating July 18 exhibition displayed the outcomes from the four-day workshop. Several clusters had used new photogrammetry tools to create 3D models of spaces recorded with phones and drones. A number of immersive viewing systems were on display, ranging from the commercially available Oculus Rift to a custom-made inflatable planetarium. The Flows, Bits, Relationships cluster used data-mining to reveal spatial associations between social media posts, sparking a much larger discussion of how big data will affect architecture. And a number of clusters used spatial tracking to monitor the location of workshop participants as well as their body temperature, heart rate, and other vital signs, in order to investigate whether architects might benefit from the quantified-self movement.
As part of Smartgeometry's press tour, I tracked the progress of three clusters in particular throughout the event that had caught my attention.
HK SmarTowers

On day three of the workshop, HK SmarTowers group member Ramon van der Heijden mused, "What if the Mayans had a drone?" For two days, he had been flying a drone around an academic building near the workshop. The drone beamed back images from a camera and thermal sensor, which the group then turned into a thermal model of the building using a script they threw together.
3D model of the Chinese University of Hong Kong constructed using images recorded by the drone.
It might not be what the Mayans would do with a drone, but for van der Heijden, a 3D design specialist for the local façade consultancy Front Inc., his customized drone offers an inexpensive way to survey a building and understand the façade's performance. With the price of drones falling in recent years, Ramon says such drones will soon become commonplace in building and site surveying. Unfortunately for U.S. architects, the Federal Aviation Administration recently banned the use of drones for commercial purposes, pending a review in 2015. In the meantime, they will have about as much access to this technology as the Mayans.
Resilient Networks

During Hurricane Katrina, the loss of power to a hospital contributed to the loss of many lives. The hurricane had taken the main power network offline, and water that had broken the levees flooded basements where backup generators were stored. Daniel Hambleton, a mathematics lecturer at the University of Toronto, says that two things could have prevented these deaths. Either the levees could have been built strong enough that they weren't overcome, or we could have located the hospital generators on the roof. He terms the first idea as a "hard network," a system designed to never fail. The second idea is a "resilient network," a system designed to ensure the consequences of a failure (the levees breaking) don't cascade through the system (offline generators).
Resilient design is growing in importance as the industry tries to create cities that mitigate the effects of natural and manmade disasters. Understanding the interactions among different building systems is a difficult mathematical problem that has been largely unsolvable to designers. At SmartGeometry, the Resilient Networks cluster developed a plugin for Rhino that enables designers to visualize how failures cascade through a network—a first step for building more resilient cities.

Block is a computer game similar to SimCity and Minecraft. Players collaboratively design a city by stacking cubes representing houses, shops, factories, and circulation space. Points are awarded for adhering to certain urban design principles and deducted for creating undesirable environments. Jose Sanchez, a game designer and an associate professor at the University of Southern California's School of Architecture, says that his cluster set out to create a game that appealed not just to urban planners, but to the general public.
With casual gaming becoming increasingly popular, Sanchez sees gaming as way to teach people about urban planning. He believes that virtual worlds will become key to engaging people with their physical worlds. Therein lies the crux of SmartGeometry: taking a technology and applying it to the physical environment.

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (KMOV.com) -- Police have identified two "persons of interest" wanted in connection to a robbery during Sunday Service at a church in East St. Louis.
East St. Louis Police Chief Michael Floore says nobody was hurt during the armed robbery at IRA Grove Freewill Baptist Church, located at 1701 Belmont Ave.
Howard Dotson, Jr., 17, and Rufus Thomas, 20, are wanted for questioning, and considered "armed and dangerous."
Authorities said three gunmen stormed the church during service, robbed members of the congregation, then fled with money and other items. Investigators are working to determine exactly what was taken from the churchgoers.
The robbery was reported to police just after 5 p.m. Sunday. The police chief says the investigation is ongoing.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Research We Fund
Progress Toward Therapies: Research We Fund
In the Beginning
In 2006, when CIRM overcame legal battles and first began funding awards, scientists knew very little about the best ways of working with stem cells or of converting them into mature cell types that would be useful as therapies. What's more, funding restrictions and legal concerns prevented many scientists from dedicating their labs to solving these issues, and not many graduate and undergraduate students were learning how to work with the cells, creating a shortage in the future stem cell lab workforce.
CIRM realized that if the goal was to generate new therapies, the first steps would need to be getting scientists into stem cell research, giving them space to work and ensuring that young people were entering the field. That's why the first awards were dedicated to training young scientists, building new facilities and pulling California researchers into stem cell science.
Toward therapy development
In 2008 the agency awarded a small amount of money to encourage scientists to form teams and think about ways of turning their research into therapies (see a list of those awards here), and in 2009 the agency began investing in the possible future therapies that came out of those early awards (see those awards here). As CIRM's early investments mature, the agency funds increasing numbers of awards with a therapeutic end goal.
Our stem cell Therapies in the Pipeline page lists all awards focusing on a specific disease therapy.
Investment in different types of stem cells
The projects in development include all types of stem cells, including approaches to activate stem cells within the body, and in some cases include several approaches to treating the same disease. We fund good science without regard to preconceived ideas about what will work because, as with the Chilean miners who were rescued in 2010, of three strategies we fund it might be plan C that succeeds.

Comments about SPEEDO Female Streamline Warm Up Jacket:
I have worn this jacket for years and it still looks like it is new. I'm 6' tall and love that it fits my tall frame. Most jackets are not tall enough for me but Speedo does a great job making products for athletes and not just average people (and I encourage them to keep doing this!) The longer sleeves are very flattering. Its thick enough to give me warmth but not too warm. Perfect for before and after races. Its great to layer with in the spring or fall.

Illinois LLC Operating Agreement
The Illinois LLC Operating Agreement is the core document that is referred to when issues
concerning an Illinois limited liability
company ("LLC") need to be resolved.
The LLC
Operating Agreement is the most important document for your Illinois LLC.
In the case of a single member LLC, without the formality
of an LLC Operating Agreement, the LLC can closely resemble
a sole proprietorship, which does not limit your personal
liability for business debts of the LLC.
With respect to a multi-member LLC, the LLC Operating Agreement reflects the agreement among the members with
respect to the affairs and management of the LLC and governs
the relationship amongst the members of the LLC. By having
an LLC Operating Agreement, the members will be provided
with a clear set of rules that all members have agreed upon
greatly reducing the likelihood of disagreement between
them in the future. A LLC Operating Agreement will also
greatly reduce financial and management misunderstandings,
and make sure your business is governed by your own rules
-- not default rules created by the state of Illinois.
Need a LLC Operating Agreement for your Illinois LLC?
will generate a customized LLC Operating agreement for your
Illinois LLC in a matter of minutes.
Whether your LLC
will have one or more members, will be managed by its members
or by elected managers, or will be granting one or more
members an interest in the LLC for the performance of services,
myLLCagreement.com will generate a customized LLC operating
agreement tailored to the needs of your business.
If you don't want
to spend thousands of dollars on a lawyer and don't trust
outdated internet forms, then let myLLCagreement.com help
you create a customized LLC operating agreement for your
Illinois LLC.
The LLC operating
agreement does not have to be filed with any state agency.
All states, including the state of Illinois will enforce
valid operating agreements entered into among LLC members.
The operating agreement will only be enforced against the
persons who are parties to the agreement. Therefore, it
is extremely important that all members of an LLC sign the
operating agreement.

Entity or Franchise Level Tax
Illinois imposes its personal property tax replacement
income tax on partnerships and LLCs taxable as partnerships. The tax is equal to 1.5 percent of the partnerships
net income for the taxable year.
Illinois does not impose its personal property tax
replacement tax on LLCs that are disregarded for federal
income tax purposes. Neither a partnership nor an LLC is subject
to Illinois franchise tax.
State LLC Act
Illinois LLC Act is contained in Chapter 805 of the Illinois
Important Statutory Rules
LLC Management
LLC is managed by its members unless the Operating Agreement
states that the LLC is to be managed by one or more managers.
Admission of Members
the Operating Agreement states otherwise, new membership
must be issued with the written consent of all the members.
Amending the Operating Agreement
as otherwise provided in the LLC's Articles of Organization
or Operating Agreement, managers may, by a majority vote,
amend the Articles of Organization to remove the name of
an initial manager who is no longer a manager, remove the
name of the initial registered agent of the LLC, or change
the LLC name. Other amendments to the Operating Agreement
require the approval of all members.
otherwise provided in the Operating Agreement, the approval
of all members is required to approve distributions to members
prior to dissolution of the LLC, to sell all LLC assets,
or to voluntarily dissolve the LLC.
Transfers of Property
the LLC is member-managed, transfers of LLC property may
be transferred by a document signed a member on behalf of
the LLC; if managed-managed, any manager can execute such
a transfer document on behalf of the LLC.

What an cute bunny is this! I really like the photo, I think it's one of your best bunny pictures!
For originality i've give you 2,5 stars, sorry! I really love the concept with the ribbon and minnie mouse, that's origininal as well, but as EliseEnchanted said earlier: you have só much bunny pictures, I don't think it's very original anymore.
I like the technique; the light is good and I love the blanket you're bunny is on. Also the depth of field is amazing, how it's body get more blurry. Maybe the low part of the ribbon could be a little bit sharper. I like the twinkle in her eye!
This is, again, an breathtaking picture for me. It's loveley and cute, your bunny is a truly photo model!

Stasis dermatitis is a change in the skin that occur when blood collects (pools) in the veins of the lower leg.
Venous stasis ulcers; Ulcers - venous; Venous ulcer
Venous insufficiency is a long-term (chronic) condition in which the veins have problems sending blood from the legs back to the heart.
Some people with venous insufficiency develop stasis dermatitis. Blood pools in the veins of the lower leg. Fluid and blood cells leak out of the veins into the skin and other tissues. This may lead to itching, which causes more skin changes.
You may have symptoms of venous insufficiency including:
At first, the skin of the ankles and lower legs may look thin or tissue-like. You may slowly get brown stains on the skin.
The skin may become irritated or crack if you scratch it. It may also become red or swollen, crusted, or weepy.
Over time, some skin changes become permanent:
Skin sores (ulcers) may develop (called a venous ulcer or stasis ulcer). These most often form on the inside of the ankle.
The diagnosis is primarily based on the appearance of the skin. Your doctor may order tests to examine the blood flow in your legs.
Stasis dermatitis can be related to heart problems so you may need test to check your heart function.
You may take the following steps to manage venous insufficiency, which is causing stasis dermatitis:
Some skin care treatments can make the problem worse. Talk with your health care provider before using any lotions, creams, or antibiotic ointments.
Things to avoid:
Treatments your health care provider may suggest include:
Stasis dermatitis is often a long-term (chronic ) condition.
Call your health care provider if you develop leg swelling or symptoms of stasis dermatitis.
Watch for signs of infection such as:

my wife's Mac doesn't have a right click and it annoys the shit out of me. I probably use it once a month so I'd never buy a mouse just for that. There's def no right click on her model. Its just one button. So I'm not sure what Midd is saying when he says there is a right click. Not on hers. I'll try the pushing it twice thing next time I use it though.
And why no flash player on the Ipad? Apple = checkers

Honestly where was our free figure as compensation for the Snout Spout disaster?!
Unlike Frosta, whose arms were easily exchanged, he really IS a defective figure.
I'd have to say that Snout Spout has the rubberiest shorts of any figure in the line that I can think of. They're almost Leech's net levels of rubbery, so I guess it's not surprising that they're degrading the same way.
Snout Spout is cursed!
Honestly where was our free figure as compensation for the Snout Spout disaster?!
Unlike Frosta, whose arms were easily exchanged, he really IS a defective figure.
Press down on dragon's head. It will bite off your frickin' fingers !!!
Snout Spout should be the bubble boy of the MOTUC at this rate.
Another nail in the coffin for MOTUC.
Preternia - Cy-Chop Central!
Garanamyr, right out of the box, has a messed up neck peg (it's sitting too high, causing the head to just wobble around when fully attached) and the piece that holds the tail in is broken, so the tail won't stay on. I'm the only one I've seen so far with the neck issue, but I'm seeing at least a half dozen people so far with the same tail issue right out of the box.
wow, now I'm happy my Granny hasn't shipped yet, maybe the 2nd batch will be correctly assembled!
I will NEVER believe that Mermista beheaded Mer-Man! You sit on a throne of lies.... and smell of beef and cheese, bio writer!!!!
It's not an assembly issue since it's 100% unassembled. That's what makes it even worse, the fact that the ring is broken before anything was ever snapped into it. They're all produced in one batch, they're just shipping out in waves, so if it is a running issue, the later shipments will likely be just as prone to it as the earlier ones.
My TRU Skeletor has his ab crunch glued together, meaning he doesn't bend over no matter how hard I try. I think if I try a bit harder I'll break something. It doesn't bother me that much, but it still sucks. That's the only figure of mine that has any sort of bad QC issues (besides BG Teela's, Marlena's and Sy-Klone's bobble-heads). Even my Snout Spout has no issues whatsoever. His trunk is all in one piece.
This may not be a widespread issue, but I just got my Procrustus, and one of his arms was misassembled. His left forearm was attached backwards. This is pretty noticeable, because his "elbows" are sculpted to look like rocks. The rock elbow bit that is on the back of the forearm was right in the crook of his arm, and it prevented the elbow from bending the right way. The good news is that it is easily fixed by heating the joint. It can then be popped off and flipped back the correct way. It was also the correct forearm. There was no forearm switching.
hmm ill check mine tonight, didnt notice anything last night
the ignore list is my new best friend
One of my Procrustus figures looks to have a broken right arm at the bicep. :/
Two arms to assemble properly on "regular" figures already seem like an herculean task for those guys... What did you expect with a 4-arms figure?
For some reason, I dread the time when Mantenna (4 legs) Modulok (6 legs, 4 arms, 2 heads) and Multi-Bot (2 torsoes, 2 heads, 6 legs and 4 arms) will be released...

Anything is too Herculean for Mattel anymore....to simply pay someone with 20/20 vision to examine the figures on the assembly line before packaging is too much too ask. Instead of looking at 4 random figures from any given day and saying....ah, 1 is broken, not a huge deal....package them all, even the broken ones....
Just like they knew there was a welding error (supposedly...cough, crap ass materials) on Goddess, yet they knew what could have happened to the figures, instead of destroying the batch, they sent them out anyway....and look what we got in return....and before anyone chimes in....if something is flawed either in material or the process, the factory is supposed to fix the issue, and recycle the affected batch, it's not Mattel's fault or ours that the factory didn't have the correct settings in the equipment, after all It's a vendor, not a Mattel factory....but maybe Mattel should keep a tighter reign on what goes on inside of where their product is made, or find new factories....
And Granamyr is turning up broken, even unassembled, nothing is safe....

3. Just a good, standard scratch.
This is such a pain in the ass. It is so tiring that the first thing I do when I get these toys is look at them for defects to see if I need to return them. It would be nice to enjoy them.
Seriously, do ANYBODY else's Star Seeds have any marrings on them? Do you think this is worth the hassle of a DR/matty return? I have about 25 days to think about it.
I've been reading for a time abou the painted black plastic issues that some people has been having with figures like Spikor. I've never experienced any of this until now, when I noticed that the plastic used for Rattlor's staff is actually black (at least for the golden staff part, not the red snake) and that the painting was flaking. This happened when I removed the staff from Rattlor's hand...
As this happened to me I expect more people having this issue as well. Perhaps I missed somewhere else where people talked about this...
Netossa arrived today. There is glue all over her face. In a not so flattering manner. If any of you have children have them leave the room before you click on the picture.

So nobody's Mosquitor hands have broken off yet? Or is nobody twisting them at the wrist?

Hi guys,
So I was trying to find a list of most of the major problems on some Classics figures and couldn't find one. I've been collecting since I ordered two SDCC King Grayskulls and got both a regular and bronze variant! I was hooked. However I don't open them and only look at them when I get them.
I only hear about the problems until much later, and was hoping we could put together a list of all known problems. Such as:
Roboto: Arms are assembled backwards
Frosta: Forearms are swapped
Granamyr: Tail socket broken upon arrival, bobble head, arms falling off
Stinkor: Forearms are swapped
Swiftwind: Legs are assembled swapped
I just opened my Procrustus today....and sure enough! A Broken right back arm at the bicep and shoulder....guess I'll break out the super glue

quote:Marshall has been the worst lottery pick by far in the draft.
quote:Worse than Royce White?
quote:So you're saying they're not better than Rivers.
quote:White wasn't a lottery pick.
quote: At least he can pass the ball.
quote:Rivers has a better assist/turnover ratio.
quote:Thornton and Collison were 22 year old rookies
quote:Well why are you criticizing Rivers and praising Marshall when Marshall has been the worst lottery pick by a mile, has worse numbers, and was sent to the D League?
quote:Because they have had different roster situations. Playing time for both hasn't been dictated by skill on the court, it's been dictated by Marshall being the 4th guard on the depth chart, and Rivers being the 2/3 guard on the depth chart.
quote:Gordon's healthy, we keep Jack, and Rivers is the 4th guard on our roster, I promise you he's in the D-league by this point in the season. And if not, should be.
quote:You have to be patient with such a raw prospect like Rivers. It may take him 3 or 4 seasons to start figuring things out.
quote:He's still ahead of Henry and Mason Jr.
quote:So right about when his rookie contract is expiring? that makes absolutely zero sense.

That makes such little sense my head just exploded. You're pretty much saying every team's "game plan" is equally just as good as any other teams. Winning hockey games is based off who executes the game plan better. It has nothing to do with skilled players and there can't be different degrees of "game plans". One team's game plan can't be better than another?

I highlighted the powerful influence of customer lbrarians in delivering automation in the design of electrical systems' interconnects using the capital suite of programs. Librarians get proficient initially through the ministrations of a trainer to guide them through the concepts of the software and how these apply to their working lives. I've also singled out the product management staff who convert their professional expertise and their personal understanding of users' and marketplace needs into finished product. This group of people brings the new modules (e.g. Capital Architect and Capital Modular XC) into being. Afterwards it is work of the Educational Services Group of Mentor to author a training course. Trainers have a challenging job and it is really well done.
And there are a lot of courses in the repertoire http://www.mentor.com/training_and_services/training/courses/cabling_and_harness/
The trainer who is going to deliver the course as a paid-for service is usually the main author, sometimes the only author. If that were all the accomplishment a person has to show for their working life "I wrote a training course or two) I think we should be quietly impressed. Distilling the countless features and the multiple patterns of use into ones which are highly relevant to the majority of users and interesting and instructive to the others for whom the task is only indirectly part of their role – that takes expertise and experience. Gathering it into a coherent package, trialling it, maintaining it is the ordinary part of the task of writing a training session. The real magic is in constructing something which has the potential to engage the audience. Someone writing a training course is providing the potential for inquisitiveness to turn into professional effectiveness. The person delivering the training course has the goal of realizing that potential from curiosity through to knowledge for the benefit of the customer and not for their own self-satisfaction. The Mentor trainers are great teachers who provide the environment in which the talents of the trainees can really shine.
The participants in training courses come from a variety of cultural backgrounds. This is an interesting and stimulating fact of the business life for the trainers. I think it is good to acknowledge that their skills are not confined to international borders – which means their professional lives take them travelling as much as any sales or technical marketing person in the software industry. Perhaps more. And part of their job is to inspire more people, to aid understanding for people to whom English is a second language. To switch etiquette from the Asia Pacific deference to the European relaxed respect. Sensitivity to the needs of students whether Middle Eastern, Brazillian or German for example is really important so that the training is optimally effective.
A comprehensive mastery of the subject matter is a given, but there is actually a lot more to the remarkable skills of the trainers. In teaching something to adults, you are negotiating through the aspirations for success, the eager embrace of change through to the cynical and suspicious attitudes of people who don't think the automation can fit their bsuiness process. There are as many motivations and likes and dislikes of people to the way in which they learn as they are people. Some students fold their arms and say "show me" and the person on the next computer may be skipping three exercises ahead and trying their best to make the software crash. You have to have a serious talent for communicating and a gift for listening as well as a gift for being listened to to have this job to flourish. A good human beats a remote scripted session guide in mist categories.
Luckily we have some. Hip Hip hurrah for the trainers!

Where's China's Missing Vice President Xi Jinping?
There are so many mysteries in China right now! First off, Xi Jinping has vanished! Second — who is Xi Jinping?!?! He's the Vice President of China, and is presumed to be the next president — and he's nowhere to be found. It's unclear if he's sick, or the victim or an attack, or just super into naps. No one "in the know" is saying where he is. Which is why those NOT in the know (that'd be us) are stepping forward with explanations!

Both the Republican and Democratic Conventions are now officially over. But there's no time for tears — there's fact checking to be done!

Paul Ryan and Bill Clinton both drew criticisms that they didn't have all their facts straight — and we suspect that's just the tip of the iceberg! So, being the civic-minded busybodies that we are, we're proud to present:

Decree-o-matic: The periphery's permanent state of exception
Posted by Leigh Phillips in Greece, Italy, rule by decree, Spain on January 21, 2013
The Greek Frankenstein's monster of a coalition government – stitched together from the torso of the wounded conservative New Democracy and the decomposing, undead remains of centre-left Pasok and ex-eurocommunist Dimar – passed legislation last week raising taxes on ordinary Greeks and corporations and then this week approved another package of moves restructuring state assets for privatisation and expanding the powers of the finance ministry
I'll not go into details of the problems with the legislation, termed 'prior actions', which was demanded by international lenders in return for the latest round of financing due this month. The imposition of suicidal and unjust economic policies in the European periphery is very much more 'dog bites man' these days than 'man bites dog'. I'll leave it to others to point out the errors.
Instead, what I find significant is that the different pieces of legislation have not been presented as proper bills, but as edicts in order to prevent debate, which would slow down the approval process.
The coalition felt it didn't have time for the legislation to go through normal procedure as it wanted the bills to be already in the bag before finance minister Yannis Stournaras headed to the Eurogroup meeting (of finance ministers from the eurozone) on Monday, 21 January, where the first of three bail-out tranches worth €18 billion was to be considered and possibly approved.
Opposition parties, both the socialist Syriza party and the Independent Greeks – the anti-memorandum splinter from New Democracy – accused the government of bypassing parliament.
Their criticisms were – how should this be put politely? – let's say 'unvarnished'.
"You are introducing a new form of governing," Syriza parliamentary spokesman Panayiotis Lafazanis said. "Ministers will issue edicts that will abolish parliament's rights and will not be debated at all. You are responsible for turning a parliamentary democracy into a parliamentary junta."
"We are observing a situation where parliament has essentially ceased working," said Notis Marias of the anti-memorandum splinter from New Democracy, the Independent Greeks. "Your attitude is 'Eurogroup uber alles."
It seems strange to be talking about legislation by decree in the 21st Century. The words 'decree' and 'edict' evoke images of the Catholic Church releasing papal bulls, or absolute monarchs issuing proclamations changing the religion of a realm overnight.
The development of modern democracy placed great emphasis on 'legislative supremacy' (also known as 'parliamentary sovereignty'). Whether called a parliament or congress or house, the deliberative assembly normally has exclusive authority to pass, amend or repeal laws, raise or lower taxes, regulate trade, and declare war. Western societies did not opt instead for a model of elected monarchs (athough Poland famously employed wolna elekcja, or royal elections, on occasion until the late 18th century).
Why did we do this? Well, it's a long story and whole libraries could be and indeed are filled with discussions of theories of governance. But boiled down, the argument is that the executive branch – the body that enforces the law and carries out the day-to-day administration of the state – is the servant of the legislature, in order to ensure a separation of powers, which in turn serves as a sort of inoculation against tyrants.
By distributing power away from the executive, and maintaining the supremacy of the elected chamber, a polity is supposed to be protected against authoritarianism. In those places where there is little or no separation between executive and legislative branches, the different powers of government by definition are held by one person or one small group of people. (This situation, by the way – other than during times of national emergency, or 'state of exception' – is the very definition of despotism you will find in any dictionary)
Yet what happened in Greece this past fortnight is far from the first time that governments in the eurozone periphery have turned to the use of decrees to avoid parliamentary scrutiny. Indeed, though it has received little notice, the use of decrees, edicts and similar manoeuvres – a direct challenge to legislative supremacy – has been sharply on the increase in since the advent of the crisis.
Grand Duke Draghi of Frankfurt
Most controversially, the ECB's humiliating ultimatum letter to Berlusconi in the summer of 2011 that was leaked to Corriere della Serra, the Italian daily, included not only a series of demands for legislation in return for central bank bond purchases, but the detailed timetable bills needed to be passed by and that they be imposed by edict, only later to be approved in a similar up/down fashion to this past fortnight's Greek decrees. According to the letter, the package of austerity and structural adjustment bills had to be passed "as soon as possible with decree-laws, followed by parliamentary ratification by the end September 2011."
The bulk of the shock therapy that unelected technocrat prime minister Mario Monti has applied to Italy have been performed by decree – the 'Save Italy' emergency decree, which took place days after Super-Mario took power; the 'Grow Italy' decree, the 'Fiscal Simplification' decree, the 'Spending Review' decree, the 'Sustainable Development' decree, and so on.
Some of the actions undertaken by decree any progressive could support; others decidedly less so. But whether one supports or opposes a move is immaterial – the method through which they are enacted is undemocratic.
Over in Spain, in May last year, Spain's Mariano Rajoy used a decree to avoid parliamentary oversight of the decision to use public funds to bail out its drowning banks, offloading written-down assets into separate financial vehicles. Similarly, in February, Rajoy used the decree format to force banks to set aside certain amounts as cash buffers against losses. In March, there was a labour market deregulation decree in March, and in November an anti-tax-fraud decree and another delinking pensions from inflation.
After a woman killed herself when bailiffs tried to throw her out of her home and under pressure from protests, Madrid also passed a decree suspending home evictions for poor families with small children, the disabled and long-term unemployed. This action should certainly be welcomed, and probably did need to be instituted instantly for obvious reasons. But the question still remains, even for these sorts of measures – why is so much legislative activity now being done without parliamentary scrutiny?
By contrast, this past week, US President Barack Obama unveiled his gun control strategy. Alongside a series of legislative proposals, Obama announced 23 executive orders that are enacted immediately. Republican opponents and hyperbole-mongers have attacked the president for bypassing congress and 'ripping up the constitution'.
But in reality, every one of his gun control recommendations – criminal background checks for all gun sales, reinstating an assault weapons ban, a 10-round limit on ammunition magazines, outlawing armour-piercing bullets and providing mental health support services in schools – require congressional approval. The executive orders cover such matters as directing the Center for Disease Control to perform research into the causes of gun violence, requiring that federal agencies make relevant data available to the background check system, launching a national dialogue on mental health and starting a a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.
These are precisely the sort of relatively trivial moves that do not require parliamentary debate and oversight – the sort of direction from the directors of the executive branch of government to its officers and agents managing their operations or the appointment of senior civil servants. In France, these are called décrets (although the president may not rule by decree except during national emergencies) and in the UK Orders in Council. Not all executive actions need to be put through the legislative sausage factory.
But major policy changes with significant impacts, such as cutting pensions, radical overhaul of labour markets, bank bail-outs and so on certainly should indeed be looked over by parliaments with a fine tooth comb. And when they aren't, if there is genuinely some sort of emergency requiring immediate executive action, there needs to be a bloody good reason, and it should be explained why this exception is necessary.
(If you want to be technical about this, what we're talking about here is the distinction between primary legislation – crafted and approved by the legislative branch – and secondary or delegated legislation – laws made by an executive authority under powers transmitted to them by the primary legislation in order to carry it out)
Special powers
Citizens' ears should prick up every time they read that something is being passed by decree or edict. Nine times out of ten, it is a sure sign that democracy is getting a bit of a hair-cut. An historical wander through the textbook exemplars of the use of decrees are instructive for comparison.
Famously, George W. Bush enacted a whopping 262 executive orders, the preponderance of which were a clear usurpation of congress's position as the legislative branch. In this way, he blocked funding for stem-cell research, sidestepped the Geneva Conventions protection from torture, and offered impunity to US corporations operating in Iraq.
Those for whom the origins of Russia's current 'managed democracy' remain a mystery could do worse than read up on Boris Yeltsin's privatisation by decree and ultimate disbanding of parliament and rule by decree in the autumn of 1993. Fantastic sums in public funds were transferred to banks owned by major figures in the Soviet state and the former Communist Party higher ups. These banks then spent the effectively embezzled funds to snap up state industries on the cheap in privatisation auctions they themselves conducted.
From 1972 to 2007, governance of Northern Ireland was carried out under what was known as 'direct rule' – in effect rule by decree. While the people Northern Ireland still technically elected members of parliament to the House of Commons, legislation administering the region was made through Orders in Council, a situation opposed by by both nationalists and unionists for its lack of democratic accountability.
Similarly, during the Algerian War of Independence, in 1956, the governor general of French Algeria, Robert Lacoste, abolished the Algerian assembly and ruled by decree to deal with the mounting political violence. Then in 1961, President Charles de Gaulle became the only French president to rule all of France by decree during a national emergency, employing 'special powers' he requested from the National Assembly in the wake of an abortive rightist uprising in Algiers. Over the course of five months from April to September of that year, De Gaulle enacted 16 decrees expanding police powers, enlarging the power of the courts, banning publications, dismissing civil servants for 'encouraging subversion', and establishing special military courts, amongst other measures.
Now, one of the difficulties in discussing Europe's democracy-on-a-diet approach to the economic crisis is that when anyone suggests that there has been a hollowing out of democracy, the cry immediately goes up from defenders of the strategy: "Where are the tanks? Where are the gulags? Where is the police state?"
But this is a category error, a conflation of autocracy and totalitarianism, as there can of course be creeping autocracy without totalitarianism. The advance of rule by decree does not signify the imminent appearance of a Duce or Fuhrer but with a blue and yellow flag. Mario Draghi is not Kim Jong-un.
Cindy Skach, professor of comparative government at the University of Oxford and one of the world's leading experts on constitutional design, has described precisely this sort of legislative atrophying phenomenon as 'constitutional dictatorship'. It comes from the use of emergency powers over a prolonged period "during which authority is transferred to non-partisan, above-party sources, leading to a loss of substance in the democratic process."
In her work comparing Weimar Germany and the French Fifth Republic, she offers a warning of what results from this overuse of decree: "Such periods are also characterised by opaque, nonaccountable decision-making in which the democratically elected institutions of the polity, such as the legislature, have lost their controlling capacity, as presidents become increasingly less accountable."
Such descriptions will of course be familiar to anyone who has followed the steady transfer of fiscal powers out of the hands of democratically elected parliaments – both in EU-IMF programme countries and across the eurozone.
To be clear, I am not saying that Italy, Spain, Greece and other countries are being ruled entirely by decree, but a lot of the new rules do come in the form of decree.
This state of exception is becoming permanent.

Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The Canon Vixia HF R200 is another good performer in the advanced camcorder category. It offers an ergonomic design, clearly accessible photo and video buttons, and a precise zoom control. We also liked the two SD card slots allowing room for more memory and easily accessible ports, and the device performed well in our photo and video tests. The stubborn touch screen blurred whenever we touched it, though, and the Vixia R200 won't fit as comfortably into your bag as comparable models

Frontline Tactics
Last edited by Echoseven; 11-01-2012 at 11:59 PM.. |
so... what? am i like the only one excited about this title?
i thought u guys would be crawling over it like hungry goons once i saw it on the app store... like it would be at the top of the top of hot new games list, but instead... **silence** seriously, any impressions? anyone? |
what reviews?
i see 4 stars on the app store. what do u see?
From the same people that made tactical soldiers or whatever it was called. This should be good, the free price is showing a freemium route.. not too excited about that.
it has async multiplayer over multiple platforms! |
Played two maps and failed them, but still earned credits, which is useful for buying better weapons and buying upgrades. Outnumbered as I only had two soldiers to begin with and definitely can't cope without a few more upgrades. I guess this might be a grinder. (unless you buy IAPs for credits, credits are used to unlock everything -- including proficiency skills. It doesn't look like the soldiers have levels anymore...just skills for unlock...using credits I guess.)
This doesn't feel like it has the same tactical goodness as Tactical Soldier. The soldiers don't seem to have many tactical options like different stances and commands to wait or set up ambush. Movement points system from Tactical Soldier seems to be gone -- there's no indicator or anything to see what else you can do. You move and there's no undo. You shoot but once regardless whether you have a pistol or an uzi. (Or maybe it requires more "upgrades" before one can do more actions?? Not sure.) Can't seem to make the soldiers face the direction I want. Don't like the way the game handles turns. I'm already outnumbered and to have enemies make their moves while my two soldiers have turns apart feels like I can't coordinate them to move in and attack effectively. The game itself is also somewhat laggy and unresponsive at times. Tactical Soldier is still the better game. Last edited by Ravenblack; 11-01-2012 at 07:53 PM.. Reason: additional details |
As for me, not interested in this one at all. The screens look less than promising, and the reviews aren't good, so yeah, I'll be passing. DBC |
I have been having a blast with this game!
Please note I am playing it on my IPad 3. It is true that some missions can be hard, but the more I play the more I learn about using different tactics. I now have 4 soldiers in my group. I gave one soldier +10 armour and keep him in cover as he moves forward to spot the enemy. Keeping him in cover ensures low damage when he gets hit and it comes off the armor first before his health starts to deplete. This spotter has a small arms Falcon that does 47 damage at close range. This is perfect to greatly injure the newly spotted enemy for my sniper to finish them off. If he spots two or more enemies close together, I lob in a grenade that kills one enemy instantly and greatly wounds the others. I keep my medic close to heal my spotter if he gets into trouble. My medic has a high "camo" rating making him hard to spot. This would make him a good spotter as well. He also has a dual role in close quarters combat. Being hard to spot and using a silent weapon makes the enemy unaware of where he is firing from. This way the enemy cannot return fire....Very Useful. His close quarters skill also allows him to lob stun grenades at the enemy , doing 20 damage and delaying their next turn phase. I use a sniper to pick off the enemy located by my spotter being careful to keep him out of the range of enemy who could return fire. The sniper needs spotters to be effective. In one mission ,I only had one spotter with a hair of health left and my sniper. I could not risk having the spotter fire at the enemy in the building as he would have been killed by enemy return fire. I knew at least two more enemies were inside but needed to spot them for my sniper to take his shot. I had my spotter run to the window and then to the left side of the window out of harms way. This still allowed him to spot the enemy and not be in a position to be shot. This is just one example of a very useful tactic I found out on my own. I' m sure there will be plenty more to come. I use my sub machine gunner to shoot multiple enemies in his firing arc. Just be careful not to hit your own men with friendly fire. I acquired a perk that narrows his firing arc and makes his short range damage reach one more square. This is great to get off a more powerful shot and to avoid hitting one of your own men close to the enemy. This gunner protects my medic and sniper , taking enemy fire instead of them. Once the main outside enemy force is killed ,I move my spotter and gunner up to flush out or spot enemies hiding in buildings. Always keep them in cover as they move up , as they will only take half the usual damage this way. The medic follows close behind to heal and my sniper fires from afar as enemies are located by the three advancing team members. There are many perks you can acquire for your team as well. The ability for your team member to automatically fire at any enemy entering his overmatch area is a great one. Or the one that gives your close combat specialist the ability to run three more spaces to get in close to kill with his knife. And yes, the moment I acquired a medic or close quarters fighter the enemy acquired them as well. This made the game more challenging as I had to change tactics. When enemies are moving, pay attention to the weapons and equipment they have. Pay attention to the range and power of their weapons. If your health is low, getting close for a powerful shot on a close quarters specialist is a bad idea. Chances are , you may not kill him and his knife will kill you instantly. Pick them off from a distance or use a fully healed unit to engage him and use a sniper to finish him off. Kill medics as soon as you spot them to put the enemy at a disadvantage. Get enemies in a crossfire for added damage. And always move up in cover if possible. When next to a building, kill the men with handguns or machine guns first.The enemies with rifles will do less damage up close. Kill them last. Always shoot the enemy not in cover first as they will receive full damage. I'm currently working towards a one kill head shot perk for my sniper and getting my men trained in another proficiency.

I am giving it a try but I can honestly say just with what I am reading I will be in the same group, which is unfortunate because I was highly excited about this when this was announced and throughout. The things mentioned, while not total deal breakers, coupled with a heavy lean to IAP in a tactical game of all things, means you will be either losing way more battles than winning any, at at he rate of time it will probably take to complete a sortie combined with a mediocre to lackluster payout rate, I can see this being a serious grind in an unrewarding way.
Perhaps they were going for a streamlined design but it just comes off as stripped down in some ways, leaving Tactical Soldier the better game in a log of key ways unfortunately. I expected this game to be a step forward for the design, but this seems almost like a step back in ways, and done so to promote their economic model over balanced gameplay design. In any case, they still get 99¢ from me at the very least, in the hopes that they will listen to what I assume will be a lot of pointed opinions in the coming days from the fanbase, and I hope that they address some of the... |
