So what do school board members, superintendents, and other education leaders across the nation have in common with the Navy? Education, games and simulations!
The Navy and other military branches work hard to connect with today's students and schools to provide resources across the country through their ROTC and outreach programs. Although, ROTC programs are such a huge benefit to students, they don't always get the attention and support they deserve when it comes to the education system. Why? The obvious answer is that schools have so many mandates and bench marks to hit that often time's result in additional programs losing their much deserved attention despite their benefits to the education system and student learning and development. We've seen this happen again and again with music and art programs as funding and staff are scaled-back, and with after-school programs, outreach and volunteer programs in schools when there are staffing shortages. So with the military's support of education, their outreach to schools, and their effective use of technology in their own education and training efforts why aren't schools tapping this readily accessible and mutually beneficial relationship more often? Well, a group of Annual Conference attendees will be participating in a site visit to a naval base on Coronado, just outside downtown San Diego to answer that question. The Navy will share what they have been doing to ensure that the fluency of their highly trained squadrons remain informed, experienced, and safe. How do they do this? The answer is simple – technology, education, and continued professional development.
Games and simulations are not new to training in the military. The Army and Marines use it to simulate the experiences that their infantry officers will encounter while in combat. The belief is that the more times a soldier is exposed to situation the more clearly they will be able to navigate the challenges and ensure the safety of their men and those they are there to protect. NSBA aims to demonstrate how this very same idea can be applicable in the classroom by exposing students to simulations and games around biology, anthropology, math, spelling, and grammar. S.T.E.M. is a hot topic in education today and games and simulations hit all four parts of the initiative: Science.Technology.Engineering.Math. Is it possible for games and simulations to bring S.T.E.M. to life and maybe encourage more young girls to explore the fields of science, technology, math and engineering? The statistics are promising.
Simulations are used in the military because they are the most realistic way to bring to life the words on the pages of the books that were written to train and protect our soldiers. Reading something and experiencing it are two totally different realms of learning and retention. If a pilot reads about how to land a plane or do a night-trap (landing a plane at night on a ship) they may understand the concept but would they feel affluent and confident enough to get in a plane and try it without first having the safety of a simulator to practice? The same is true for how students learn. People learn by doing. Adolescences learn to drive and car by driving on their permit under the watch of their parents. A pilot learns to fly by testing their wings out in a simulator first. A doctor learns to operate on a cadaver. To provide students with the ability to get their hands dirty and learn by doing is an invaluable gift that hopefully more schools will explore. Games and simulations provide that access across the curriculum and grade levels.
NSBA's site visit with the Navy will demonstrate the amazing efforts and honorable mission of the Navy as well as their utilization of games and simulations in education. To learn more about the visit please stop by our website and to find out more about the Navy and their ROTC efforts and use of simulations please visit their website.
We hope to see you in San Diego!

Staying Above .500
Staying above .500 is the name of the game.
Twenty times already this season Chicago has leveled its record at .500. From here on out that number can't change if the Cubs are to win the division.
I heard Tim Kurkjian on ESPN Radio say 90 games will win the NL Central. For Chicago to reach that mark they'll have to post a minimum of 46 wins in the second half.

The city's fire chief says overheated brakes were the suspected cause of the blaze night blaze in the middle of the busy parking lot. The driver said he pulled over when he smelled smoke from the back of the truck.
The Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/1lFpQqx ) reports that nobody was injured in the fire.
The driver was on his way from the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island to New Jersey to deliver the fries. Waterville is about 15 miles north of Maine's capital, Augusta.
The truck is operated by Midland Transport Limited, a Dieppe, New Brunswick-based company.

I have heared in the past several times in the chat, that due to licensing reasons Miku cards won't be released ever again (I am opening this thread with the assumption this rumor is truth). Well .. I can understand that such things happen, but there is one problem I have with this.
I am the opinion that in a card game, where balance is on the level of total cards/ decks facing each other, any subtype/card that is only achievable once and never again, is going to create a long term balance issue.
No this is not a nerf thread and i dont say you should worsen these or those miku cards (infact we could discuss buffing some ).
I am talking about card avaibility. If a certain subpopulation recieve access to certain options which are not accessable, this wont be fair and also your new willing to pay clients wont be happy about this.
Ex cards, are ok as you have ways to get them later, even if those are harder. Batora cards are ok (boarderline) cause they come back too once a year. The "fun cards" are ok too cause they have honestly 0 utility in a competive or even a non competetive environment. But that Miku cards should not be released ever again. No thats not ok.
Here the solution I think it would be appropiate:
Rerelease Miku cards with same skills but with another status effect eg dancing instead of singing(to prevent misuse by ppl who have old cards) and other art and of course an other name(to circumvent the legal issues).

Nokia Lumia Icon brings 20 megapixel PureView to Verizon
Allison Johnson | Published: Feb 12, 2014 at 21:11 UTC19
Nokia introduces the Lumia Icon with a 20 megapixel PureView camera. Headed for Verizon when it becomes available on February 20, the Icon offers an F2.4 Zeiss lens and 1080p HD video recording. Like its PureView peers, the Lumia Icon runs Windows Phone 8. The Icon uses a 2.2 GHz quad-core processor, and it's equipped with a 5" OLED display protected by Gorilla Glass 3.
The Icon's imaging components are similar to those of the Nokia Lumia 1520, which we were quite impressed with in our recent review. The Icon is equipped with 32GB of internal storage (though offers no microSD card slot) and uses a 2420mAh battery.
Verizon will sell the Lumia Icon for $199.99 with contract.

Comments about Champion Sports 4' x 4' Lacrosse Goal:
My 11 year old son and I assembled this net in about 1/2 hour. The net attaches with about 30 velcro straps. This is not enough to securely attach the net so we used additional black electrical tape. The straps are actually 2 pieces glued together, not a one piece strap. My son shot on the goal for less than 2 days and 5 velcro straps broke at their glue points. I think the net will fall apart with continued use. This goal is being returned. It will not hold up to any real-world use. It does not earn the 1 star rating, but a rating was required to submit the review.

Maine's congressional delegation is raising questions about a recent decision to not renew the contract of the longtime concessioneer in Acadia National Park. Acadia Corporation, which has run park concessions since 1933, learned in September that a new, 10-year deal would go, instead, to a New Mexico-based firm. U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King have written a letter to the head of the Park Service demanding a top-to-bottom review of the selection process that led to the change. And Representatives Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud are calling on a House committee to revisit the decision - and the Park Service's criteria for awarding concessions contracts.
Maine's two U.S. House members say they've gotten lots of calls from constituents and supporters of Acadia Corporation in and around Bar Harbor. And most of them, says Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, make the same basic point.
"It just seems wrong to be giving up that contract to another company that's based halfway around the country," Pingree says.
In 1998, Congress passed the National Park Service Concessions Management Improvement Act. The law now requires a competitive bidding process for concessions contracts. Selection criteria include the financial capabilities of the applicant and consideration of which concessioneer would do the best job protecting natural cultural resources and providing value to the visitor.
Pingree says Acadia Corporation met these standards in the years prior to 1998, and has continued meeting them since then, by using a locally-driven business model.
"A huge part the national parks is the impact they have on the local community," Pingree says. "You know, this has been a company that's done business responsibly with the park, employed local people, been a local business."
But this time around, Acadia Corporation's local ties - and lengthy and successful track record - weren't enough to sway decision makers at the park service. Next year, the concessions contract is scheduled to go to Ortega National Parks, a subsidiary of the New Mexico-based firm Dawnland, LLC.
According to its Web site, the firm has nine additional concessions contracts at national parks and recreation areas across the country. An e-mail to the firm seeking comment for this story was not returned by airtime. In an interview with MPBN in September, the firm's president, Shane Ortega, vowed to re-hire anyone currently working for Acadia Corporation and to continue working with local vendors.
"We're going to at least double the numbers of local vendors, local farms, local artists that the concession is sourcing from right now," Ortega said.
Oretga's previous concessions acquisitions, though, haven't been without controversy. In San Francisco, the longtime concessioneer at Stow Lake Boat House in Golden Gate Park sued the city and Ortega, alleging corrupt contracting, when city officials awarded the contract to the New Mexico company in 2010. All new national park concessions contracts are subject to a 60-day congressional review.
"I want to see that whole process, how that went through," says Maine Congressman Mike Michaud. Michaud says he's concerned that Ortega low-balled its bid at Acadia, promising to run the concessions more cheaply than they'll be able to when the company begins operating in Maine next year.
"I would suspect that there was some flaws in that process, and we can correct those flaws and that we can reverse that contract," Michaud says.
A call to the National Park Service for comment on this story was not returned by air time. Both Michaud and Chellie Pingree also want the House Natural Resources Committee to review the overall procedures for awarding concessions contracts at National Parks.
And Sens. Angus King and Susan Collins have sent their own letter to the head of the park service, calling for a similar top-to-bottom review.

- "There's a simple way of discovering the last spell a wand performed, elf, did you know that?"
- —Amos Diggory describing the spell's usage to Winky[src]
Prior Incantato is a spell that, if pointed at a wand, can show the last spell performed. It was used by Amos Diggory to learn whose wand had been used to cast the Dark Mark at the 2004-2005 Quidditch World Cup. The Prior Incantato spell could be confused with the Priori Incantatem effect that can be triggered by wands sharing a common core that are forced to duel with each other, but which also can be induced with analytical spells. The spell used to erase the shadow created by the previously used spell (which in turn is produced by this spell) is Deletrius.
Latin prior, "previous", and incantate, "to speak a spell" (past participle incantatum).
Behind the scenes
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, during the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor in 1998 Bellatrix Lestrange used this spell on Hermione Granger's wand to learn if she used a Stinging Hex on Harry Potter to make him unrecognizable.
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (First appearance)

Dax (symbiont)
this wiki
Dax was a Trill symbiont, a symbiotic lifeform that existed with the humanoid Trill as a joined species. Each joining of Dax with a host created a new, unique individual, but each individual also carried the memories of the previous hosts.
As of 2375, the Dax symbiont had been joined to nine official hosts, starting with Lela Dax through its latest host, Ezri. Additionally, the Dax symbiont was temporarily joined with Verad during Jadzia's first year on Deep Space 9, and in an alternate timeline was later joined with Jadzia's descendant, Yedrin.
Dax was born on Trill in 2018. By 2374, it had been married six times – twice as a groom, and four times as a bride. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited") Dax had a total of nine children – five as a mother, and four as a father. (DS9: "Time's Orphan") Having been a mother three times, and a father twice, Dax claimed "I wasn't very successful either way." (DS9: "The Nagus")
Dax served as a field docent to numerous Trill initiates, and became infamous for recommending the rejection of 57 candidates for joining through the program. (DS9: "Playing God")
Dax has held numerous positions of distinction throughout its many lives including head of the Trill Symbiosis Commission, the leader of the Trill government, Federation ambassador, and two careers in Starfleet. (DS9: "Facets")
|The hosts of Dax
|Lela • Tobin • Emony • Audrid • Torias • Joran • Curzon • Jadzia • Ezri • Yedrin • Verad
Background information
It is not known when the Dax symbiont was first joined to a host. However, it is unlikely that the first joining occurred as early as 2018 because this would mean that the first four hosts of the Dax symbiont served as host for an average of nearly 66 years, from 2018 until 2284 when Torias Dax became host. Given that Curzon Dax served as host for over eighty years this may be possible, but seems somewhat unlikely as several hosts of the symbiont – notably, Torias, Joran, and Jadzia – served in that capacity for less than a decade.
Moreover, the third Dax host, Emony, is known to have served as host in 2245, over two hundred years after the Dax symbiont was born. Had the symbiont been joined as early as 2018 the first two hosts, Lela and Tobin would have served for an average of nearly 110 years apiece. It is also notable that Dax had served as field docent for two hundred years as of 2370, suggesting that the first joining for Dax occurred no later than 2170. Also, it appears that newly born symbionts live for a period in the breeding pools in the Caves of Mak'ala on the Trill homeworld. (DS9: "Equilibrium")
The British comedian Bill Bailey (who once hosted the show Space Cadets, which featured shows called "Vulcans vs. Klingons" and "Quarks vs. Roms") named his son Dax after the symbiont. He commented "Yes, he's called Dax after a symbiont, a creature that absorbs the power of others. I may just have given him too much baggage. I'll tell him he's named after the German stock exchange". [1]
The symbiont's nature has saved its host's crewmates- and once even saved the universe- on at least two occasions in spin-off media. In the series Star Trek- Invasion!, where the first four crews face a race known as the Furies who once ruled the Alpha Quadrant, a temporal disruption of the wormhole results in the Defiant being sent back over five thousand years into the past, with the only 'survivor' into the present being the Dax symbiont, kept in stasis for centuries by the alternate Julian Bashir, allowing it to pass on vital information to its past self to stop the events that lead to the destruction of the Defiant, as well as to take control of the 'Unclean'- a race who absorbed others into its mass, who had been responsible for the Furies leaving the Alpha Quadrant- and destroy them. During Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Millennium, when the crew were briefly trapped in Pah-wraith-inspired Hells to keep them occupied in the last dregs of real space/time existing after the destruction of the universe, Jadzia Dax was able to escape her Hell and free her friends in the same way because the Pah-Wraiths were trying to torment all seven of her past hosts and Dax itself, causing an overload of information that allowed Jadzia to work out what was happening.

Jim Jarmusch's films are not for everyone. They are, however, incredibly influential and important in the history of American cinema. Slowly paced with quirky characters, his droll, often minimalist films explore the ironic and humanistic with equal attention. His films feel very American (the America on the margins that is) while at the same time, they are populated with Italian cabdrivers (Night on Earth), teenage Japanese tourists obsessed with early rock and roll (Mystery Train), and Hungarian immigrants (Stranger Than Paradise). His most accessible and mainstream movie to date is Broken Flowers, due in large part because of Bill Murray's great performance as a romantically failed, wealthy introvert who wears retro sweat suits while sitting in the dark (during the day), watching television. It's only when he receives a mysterious letter from one of his ex-girlfriends, suggesting that he has a son he never knew about, does he set out on a personal journey toward…well, maybe nothing and maybe everything. The moments within a journey are what fascinate Jarmusch about the human condition rather than a tightly sewn conclusion to a story. His cult classics Down by Law and Stranger Than Paradise cemented his reputation as an indie sweetheart with a wry sensibility and skill for reimagining genre and form by the early 1990's. The release of his newest film (Only Lovers Left Alive) will once again shine the light on one of America's most idiosyncratic, independent filmmakers.

|This article or section requires a cleanup in order to meet
the Pokémon Wiki's quality standards.
Reason: Unknown
Please consider editing this page to improve it.
How did Pikachu and Piplup end up stranded on a deserted island? Mere hours before, they were exploring the ferry from Iron Island to Chocovine Town, the site of Dawn's next Contest. Below decks, they ran into Team Rocket who promptly kidnapped the two Pokemon and took off in their Magikarp submarine! Ash and Buizel took to the water in pursuit, but a strong current swept Pikachu and Piplup away. While Officer Jenny helps Ash, Dawn and Brock look for the missing Pokemon, Pikachu and Piplup end up on an island where they must fend for themselves until help arrives!
Pikachu and Piplup try to signal for help, but to no use. Little do they know, this island is located in "Diablo's Ocean|, a place where strange rocks jut out of the sea. In fact, as they explore the island, Pikachu and Piplup see a school of Mantyke bringing pieces of rock upstream to a waterfall where a Corphish stacks the rocks around a glowing jewel! Corphish explains that it all started one stormy night, when something flying over the island was struck by lightning and crashed. When Corphish and Mantyke went to investigate, they found an unusual orb that glows in response to the rocks of Diablo's Ocean. Pikachu and Piplup help Corphish and Mantyke quarry more rocks and are spotted by Staravia and Buizel who are out searching for them.
As the Pokemon drop off their latest cargo of rocks, the jewel glows brightly as if it is about to awaken! But Team Rocket and their Magikarp sub pop up to seize Pikachu and Piplup, only to be stopped by Staravia and Buizel. Right behind them are Ash and his friends on Officer Jenny's speedboat! Before a battle can break out, the jewel transforms into a Deoxys which generates a magnetic force as it taps the rocks--that are in fact meteorites--for energy. Team Rocket tries to grab this Legendary Pokemon, but it easily destroys their submarine, resulting in them blasting off, and saves our heroes from the falling debris. Deoxys then takes off into the sky where an aurora has appeared overhead; maybe Deoxys use the meteorites in Diablo's Ocean to recharge their energy? It's another Sinnoh mystery uncovered as Officer Jenny takes our reunited heroes to Chocovine Town!

North Carolina residents have just a few more hours to say what they think about proposed improvements to Interstate 95.
In legislation that went into effect last July, lawmakers directed the state Department of Transportation to conduct an economic assessment of potential funding options to improve I-95. As part of this assessment, the department is conducting a survey for residents of North Carolina.
Responses will be accepted through Friday.
The assessment will examine the economic impacts of upgrading and expanding I-95. It also examines the economic impacts of not making any significant improvements to I-95 other than what can be done with existing funding.

The undead is a popular horror theme these days, so add zombie accessories and makeup to some torn and tattered clothing to create a terrifying look. You'll look like you clawed your way out of the grave and are walking the Earth looking for brains to eat.The modern horror version of the zombie originated in the 1968 classic, Night of the Living Dead. Although the concept had been around for centuries, this was the first time zombie hordes lumbered around killing and infecting people. Since then there have been scores of popular movies, books, and TV shows about these horrifying undead people.
Realistic Zombie Skin Liquid Latex
Zombie Nail Polish and Lipstick Set
Men's Creepy Companion Zombie Prop Costume
Zombie Flesh Gloves with Forearms
Plastic 48" Grave Digging Shovel
Walker Zombie Chest Piece for Adults
They are a very popular costume to wear for Halloween, parties, or on a zombie walk. Zombie walks occur in cities around the world and feature people dressed as zombies parading down the street, often to raise money for charity. There are zombie costumes, but it's the accessories that will make the look perfect. Wear tattered or bloodstained clothing and the right makeup and prosthetics for a complete and realistic look that will scary anyone who sees you.
We carry all the makeup you need. There's kits and individual tubes to make your skin look dead and rotting. Wear prosthetics like latex bite marks and rot as well as to give you rotting teeth, nails, hands, and even feet. Cover yourself with plenty of fake blood and even put a blood capsule in your mouth so you can bite down on it anytime and have the red liquid ooze from between your lips. Some of the kits come with detailed instructions so you can learn to do professional quality makeup.

Excellent tyres, was unsure about tread pattern initially as it had been changed to conform with EU noise regulations but it was fine, handled a bad winter with ease. Really shows what a Range Rover is capable of doing if shod right in the first place, rather than silly low profiles and motorway tyres.01/04/2013
Great Tyre. Sure footed on the road and enough grip to not leave you floundering off road. Perhaps a little bit noisier on the road, but not enough to prevent me buying these tyres again02/03/2013

Meyer attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where she majored in English. She met her husband Christian, nicknamed "Pancho", while growing up in Arizona, and married him in 1994. They have three sons, Gabe, Seth, and Eli.
WritingMeyer says that the idea for Twilight came to her in a dream. After writing the novel, she signed a three-book deal with Little, Brown and Company.
The sequel to Twilight, New Moon, had an unintentional staggered release all over North America, beginning in early August 2006. Meyer initially wrote an alternative sequel to Twilight, called Forever Dawn, which she then used as an outline for the remainder of the series. She has stated that the novel will never be published, as it doesn't fall into the genre of young adult. The third book in the series, Eclipse, was released on August 7, 2007. The fourth book, Breaking Dawn, was released on August 2, 2008. Meyer revealed that Breaking Dawn will be the last book written from Bella Swan's perspective. Meyer was also writing Midnight Sun, a companion piece to the series that would describe Twilight from the view of Edward Cullen, but has put the project on hold due to a leak; she said she would continue writing it when two years have gone by without hearing or seeing anything about it.
The band Muse features prominently in the Twilight series. Meyer is a huge fan and always includes songs by the band in her playlists for the books. The song "Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse is included in the Twilight movie, and is on the film's soundtrack.
Another song by Muse is "I Belong to You" which is also in the New Moon film and on the New Moon soundtrack. She included an acknowledgment to Muse at the end of New Moon, which reads:
And, finally, thank you to the talented musicians who inspire me, particularly the band Muse - there are emotions, scenes, and plot threads in this novel that were born from Muse songs and would not exist without their genius.
Published works
Twilight series
Meyer's first novel, Twilight, was published in October 2005. By November, Twilight had reached #5 on the New York Times Best Seller list for young adult chapter books.[1]
Meyer soon published the sequel to Twilight, New Moon, in August 2006. In its first week of release, it debuted at the number 5 position on the New York Times Best Seller List for Children's Chapter Books. In its second week it rose to the number 1 position, where it remained for the next eleven weeks. In total, it spent over 50 weeks on the list.[2] On May 5, 2007, the special edition of New Moon was released. It included New Moon temporary tattoos, an Eclipse poster, and the first chapter of Eclipse.
On August 7, 2007, Eclipse, the third book in the Twilight Saga, was released. In total, the three books have spent a combined 143 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list.[3]
On May 31, 2008, the special edition of Eclipse was released. It contains the cover art and first chapter of Breaking Dawn as well as "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" t-shirt transfers.
Breaking Dawn was released on August 2, 2008 in North America. The book was released two days later, on the 4th of August, in locations outside of North America.
On March 30, 2010, it was announced that Meyer had written a 200-page novella, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. The book was released on June 5, 2010, by Atom and was also available for free between June 7 and July 5 on the official website.[4][5]
Other works
One of Meyer's stories was published in Prom Nights from Hell, a collection of stories about bad prom nights with supernatural effects. Other authors who contributed to this collection are Meg Cabot, Kim Harrison, Michele Jaffe, and Lauren Myracle. Prom Nights from Hell was released April 10, 2007.
On May 6, 2008, Meyer's adult sci-fi novel, The Host, was released by the adult division of Little, Brown and Company; it follows the story of Melanie Stryder and Wanderer, a young woman and an invading "soul", who are forced to work as one in order to find Jamie and Jared, Melanie's little brother and the love of Melanie's life, respectively.
Behind the scenes
She made an appearance in the Twilight film, as a woman in the diner, presumably writing on her laptop. The waitress addresses her as "Stephenie" and hands her a vegetarian plate of food.
Stephenie also made an appearance in Breaking Dawn - Part 1, as a wedding guest.
Meyer has been criticized for ignoring traditional vampire lore and altering the abilities and weaknesses of vampires in her book series Twilight. Her writing style has also been criticized, with Stephen King stating: "the real difference [between Rowling and Meyer] is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer, and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good."[6] However, King understood the appeal of the series, adding, "People are attracted by the stories, by the pace and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it's very clear that she's writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books. It's exciting and it's thrilling and it's not particularly threatening because it's not overtly sexual."[6]

Can we revert back to 20 games, not 20 wins?
This makes the game more fun. I'm serious, this makes the game more fun.
Why do you want to encourage a super try-hard community?
Give us our waifu judie easier... (jokes)
Anyway, seriously, I want to hear why did you start to implement this? In a dying playerbase (till horizon i guess), you're rewarding your current players, both active and non active with a statement that says, go good or go home.
I'm going to edit/update this post with Number of players at timeslots, and my win lose per day because Judie's cute, and I'll be gaming 24/7 on alteil.
Are you happy? I'm going to get bad grates for this. Are you proud, Alteil?
ps:anyone knows what the new judie art is?
pps: to push this topic up, let's also discuss this topic: alpha's no longer being updated? Kinda disappointed your NPC battle is in beta and not alpha.
pps: okay, you know what, this is stretching it, but i think i'll be fine with 30 games. 4.28 games per day.
