A framework of tried and tested tools, guidance and practical examples to support innovation in public service delivery and deliver 'better for less'.
With up to 80% of local spending providing services that tackle social exclusion, incremental change and individual cuts are unlikely to meet the challenge. It is essential to look at new models of working. The prize both in terms of efficiency and improved outcomes is potentially huge.
The Effective Services Delivery Toolkit is a comprehensive set of tried and tested tools, models and guidance – developed by the sector for the sector and grounded in practice as well as theory – many of which are FREELY available to all public service deliverers.
The diagram below is a framework showing all the tools which are currently available in esd-toolkit. This diargram will continually be updated to include new tools, guidance and support.
The arrow headings at the top of the diagram, from left to right, describe the various stages of the change process for creating new service design. A hover box will describe the key features of each stage of the process.
The blue boxes represent the tools within esd-toolkit that can help at each stage of the change process. Again a hover button will give a short description of the tool and each box has a direct link to the appropriate tool or section within esd-toolkit. Each tool can be used individually or in sequence as part of the bigger step-by-step process of improving services.
The upward arrows at the bottom of the diagram link to various forms of further support and guidance.

Austrian Foreign Ministry and the UN jointly organise a seminar in Sierra Leone
Austria supports adolescents and women in West Africa
Vienna, 25 November 2010 – "It is really important to provide reasonable and positive perspectives to young people, in particular in post – conflict countries", stated Ambassador Irene Freudenschuss-Reichl, Head of Austrian Development Cooperation at the Foreign Ministry. "If young people in unstable states stand no chance of getting jobs and employment, they are particularly prone to follow political extremists and sometimes endanger a young democracy." At the beginning of december, Austria's Foreign Ministry, together with the UN Peacebuilding Support Office (PBSO), will therefore hold a two-day seminar in Freetown, Sierra Leone, which will be devoted to the discussion of positive examples of labour market initiatives in West Africa.
In many African countries, high unemployment and a lack of business opportunities hamper the development perspectives of the population. In post-conflict situations or young democracies the risk of a relapse into violent clashes is omnipresent. In such circumstances it is particularly difficult to create workplaces, as an economic infrastructure has to be established or restored on the one hand and many people are poorly trained or hardly qualified on the other. Initiated by Austria, the seminar will be attended by government representatives, entrepreneurs, representatives of civil society, foundations and development aid partners from such West African states as Sierra Leone, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast and Liberia, in order to discuss strategies and programmes as well as learn from the experience gained thus far.
"During its membership in the UN Security Council, Austria has been committed to the protection of civilians and the empowerment of women. What is important to us is not only resolving the conflict situation itself, but also the opening up of opportunities for the civilian population", stated Thomas Mayr-Harting, the Austrian Ambassador to the United Nations. "Together with the countries concerned, we will try to work out how framework conditions can be created for young people and women that allow them to lead their own self-determined life. This initiative is another highly practical result of our work in the Security Council."

Kim calls the surgery nurses to inform them of the situation. Within minutes, a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) arrives with the anesthesiologist to rush John to the OR. A perfusion specialist arranges the cell saver, a specialized device that allows John's lost blood to be reused. One floor down, in the hospital basement, laboratory technicians work feverishly to determine his blood type, a necessity for transfusion.
For the next two hours, Kim and I perform a life-saving splenectomy. John's torn spleen is removed and he's transfused multiple units of blood. The surgical technologist deftly places the appropriate surgical instruments into our hands, often before we ask for them, contributing to the efficiency of the operation.
John survives.
The surgery concludes, and the CRNA and operating room nurses wheel him into the recovery room. As we exit the OR, its floor covered with used gauze sponges, suture ends, and a splattering of blood, the janitor enters with disinfectant, a mop and a bucket to make sure it's cleaned and prepared for the next patient.
Kim and I head to the waiting room. It's filled with John's family members, including his parents and siblings. Their eyes desperately try to read our faces as we walk toward them.
"John's OK. We removed his bleeding spleen, and he's stable in the recovery room right now," Kim confidently states.
Everyone cheers. Hugs are exchanged. Tears of relief and joy are shed.
John's mom embraces me. "You saved my son's life!" A big smile lights up her face. "Thank you for saving my son!"
I hug her back. "You're welcome. But it wasn't just me and Dr. Kim. Our team saved your son."
We've all heard the old African proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child." Well, it takes a village to save a life, too. Kim and I needed more than 20 people working as a team to save John. Take one member out of the equation and he likely would have died.

Comments about Big Buddha Women's Quip Sandal:
I looked at these shoes way too long, had i just realized the return policy i would not be out of the black pair. :( I finally said to myself go for it., yes the heel looks high as i am used to no higher than 2 3/4 inch heels. I put them on as soon as they arrived, i had no problems strapping them up, there's cusioning through out, this was a plus, i walked around in them with no problem as the heel and platform balanced out beautifully, this is my wild pair for the summer, and i'm sooo happy i got them., i recommend these as dresses, shorts, skirts and yes even your leggings with a top look cute with these!

Comments about Big Buddha Women's Quip Sandal:
I looked at these shoes forever, the heel was my concern., finally i could resist them no longer i was so drawn to this shoe i said try them if they don't work send them back! when i received them, i tried them on, walked around as if i was wearing a flat shoe, the platform balances the heel and they worked beautifully as they are fully padded with a comfortable inner, my only problem was i did'nt order them sooner so they sold out of the black pair and therefore i can't purchase them also! :-( next time i'll know better. if you're thinking about them, get them now don't lose out you'll be sorry you did!

Aerial View Of Joplin Tornado Damage
[...] Galleries Previous Next Police Academy Grads Receive… Dark Clouds, Huge Hail In… Aerial View Of Joplin Tornado… St. Louisans Sending Aid to… Search, Rescue, Recovery in… More Than 100 Dead As [...]
Mr. Blunt has to think nationally when he makes a statement like "100%" for Joplin or Malibu or Hilton Head or Long Island or Greensburg – especially when it comes to a natural event. How can this be different than 100% health care or even offering to all Americans 100% the same coverage options that he is afforded? How is it different than having access to tax-loop-hole attorneys when 100% of Americans do not? 100% is a pretty big number – what if we talk about 100% of the 100,000 American Veterans that are homeless – what if the Federal government bought 100% of them a single-wide trailer and put them all in his old Congressional district so that they could cover 100% of their mental and physical ailments? Sir, be careful – your mouth may have written a 100% non-cashable check full of the typical wild promises of 534 of your counterparts from the mansions you have built with 100% of the taxpayers money!

Governor Andrew Cuomo convened a meeting Friday of corporate CEOs and labor leaders. He is employing their help in leaning on congress to pass the $60 billion Hurricane Sandy relief package. Its prospects are now looking grim, at least before the end of the year.
"We have reason to believe that it is going to be a challenge to get it passed, especially in the House, so we discussed that," Cuomo said.
View the full press conference
It took the federal government just two weeks to approve aid for the Gulf after Hurricane Katrina. But some say it's a much different fiscal climate now, which is complicated by contentious fiscal cliff negotiations.
"We have a good number of people in the House and Senate, recent, who really don't believe that the federal government should extend its hand in disasters," said Senator Chuck Schumer. "That is a break with 100 years of policy."
The Senate will take up the bill on Monday, but amendments will likely be added. It's not clear at this point if it will even come up for a vote in the House before lawmakers break for the holidays.
"The true enormity of what happened to New York and New Jersey is not yet known by the rest of the country," said Rep. Peter King. "Somehow, they feel it's is behind us, it's been taken care of."
There is also talk of reducing the size of the aid package or doling it out in pieces over several months.
"Some people say 'give it to me right away,'" Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on his radio show Friday. "Well, if they did that, I'm not so sure we as Americans should be happy."
People familiar with the negotiations said they do not want this to drag into next year. The worry is that the further they get away from it, the less urgent it seems, which is why they are urging its passage before the December 31 deadline.

We are closed for the summer
Our regular shows will resume in late august
About the Planetarium
We are open during the fall and spring semesters when Radford University is open. The RU Planetarium is located on the ground floor of Curie Hall in Room 43. The main entrance to the planetarium is through the doors to the courtyard between Curie Hall and Martin Hall. A campus map showing these locations are here. This map shows Parking Lots B and C where you are welcome to park for the nighttime and Saturday morning shows. If you are coming with a group (in a bus or a large van) as part of a Science Day tour then you should park in Lot A. Please contact Dr. Herman at email@example.com for more information about this.
The Radford University Planetarium was constructed in 1970 when Curie Hall was built. The planetarium star projector is a Spitz/Goto Planetarium SG-8 Projector from Goto Optical Mfg. of Tokyo, Japan. There are 32 reclined planetarium seats within the 24-foot diameter dome; an additional 15 free-standing seats are in the planetarium to accommodate larger groups. In addition to the star projector, we have a Newtonian mirror-based full-dome projector for our professionally produced multimedia shows.
The planetarium is used for teaching in several classes including Astronomy, Solar System Astronomy, Galactic Astronomy and Cosmology, and various Physical Science classes. It is especially familiar to those majors in the department who choose the Physics Major--Earth and Space Science Option. Past student projects involving the planetarium have included developing programs around specific topics for use
We are also glad to make special arrangements for school groups, scout groups, etc., who might want to visit the planetarium at times other than our regular showtimes. If you have a group that would like to see our planetarium, please contact Dr. Rhett Herman, or email Dr. Herman at firstname.lastname@example.com .
Help Support the Planetarium
The Department of Physics is pleased to offer our planetarium shows for free to anyone who visits us. You can now help support this continuing endeavor through your gift to the Radford University Planetarium through the Radford University Foundation. You can make a gift directly to the RU Planetarium by clicking on this link. Where you are asked, "Please allocate my gift to:" please select "Other" from the pulldown menu and type "RU Planetarium" into the adjacent space.

St. Charles Catholic Church held benefit for man who has lost both hands and feet
Bruce Poinsette of The Skanner News
June 11, 2012
Issa's wife Janira helps him put on his prosthetic legs and get into his wheelchair |
For a man who lost both hands and feet, Issa Kamara couldn't be in better spirits.
"During the whole time I was napping, enjoying myself," he says laughing, as he describes the days he was in a coma.
Family, friends and the Sierra Leone community held a fundraising dinner for Issa Saturday June 9th at St. Charles Church. He was diagnosed with Meningococcal Septicemia nearly three months ago after returning home from a trip to Sierra Leone two.
At the time, he was a relations representative and contractor for Providence who enjoyed napping, working out and spending time with his wife and seven year old son.
Issa says he was on the phone at his mother Hawa Kamara's house when all of the sudden, he felt "short." He had trouble breathing and experienced cold chills.
On his mother's advice, he went to Providence Medical Center, where they concluded he had the flu and sent him home.
Issa's condition worsened to the point where he couldn't hold a cup and had trouble talking.
18 hours later, he was back at the hospital. Issa says the last thing he remembered was walking to the receptionist's counter.
"They took Issa to ICU," says his wife Janira. "He was on dialysis and had a breathing tube. One kidney shut down and the other was shutting down. We couldn't find out what had happened."
After three days and a barrage of testing, Issa found out that he had Meningoccal Septicemia, which is an acute and potentially life-threatening infection of the bloodstream.
When he awoke, he couldn't feel his toes and his fingers had demarcated.
"My fingernails sunk so much they pressed," says Issa. "They were flat like dry raisins."
Doctors had to perform leech therapy to get blood circulating in his fingers.
A week later, after his body stabilized, he was transported to Legacy Emanuel. They said his body had the equivalent of third degree burns.
"My skin peeled," says Issa. "It was like a newspaper outside when it rains."
After being in the hospital for three weeks, he lost his legs and hands.
Issa stayed in Legacy Emanuel, where they helped him form his legs and put him through intense rehabilitation to prepare him for prosthetics.
He moved on to the Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon (RIO). Rehab included four to five 30-minute physical therapy sessions and three to four 30-minute occupational therapy sessions each day.
Physical therapy sessions focused on Issa's core strength while occupational therapy prepared him for transitioning back to day-to-day life.
Through the rough times, Issa says he was encouraged to stay positive by his community rallying around him. "Every single day I had at least 15, often 20-30, people visiting," he says. "I always had the Sierra Leone community cooking and praying for me. If there is one thing I got out of this, it's that with support, you can always rehab."
Family members surround him, all giving thanks that Issa's life was spared.
"This community is made up of Christians and Muslims," says Pastor K.M. Sulimani. "On the issue of Issa, we stand together as one."
Like many in the room, Issa's cousin Erica Fahnbulleh was inspired by his resilience.
She says there was a time when visitors had to put their ears to Issa's mouth to hear him because his voice box deteriorated. Nonetheless, he was still telling jokes, says Fahnbulleh.
"Just to hear the same spirit was wonderful," she says. "One friend came out of the visiting room and said, 'That's Issa in there'."
The disease has been particularly hard on Issa's mother, who has already lost one of her sons and has another who is sick in the hospital.
"Issa was the one to take care of me if I get sick," she says before breaking down. "It's hard to have three kids and have things happen to them."
Issa credits his wife with helping him get through day-to-day life. The couple has known each other since they were students at Benson Polytechnic High School in the late 90s. She helps him put on clothes and prosthetics and pushes his wheelchair.
The family was living in a three-story home before the diagnosis. They have since moved into Janira's parents' home.
"I haven't really prayed until I left the hospital," says Janira. "In an empty house I prayed 20 minutes to God to not take my husband and best friend. I couldn't accept that. I couldn't explain that to our son."
While Issa has made significant progress, he still has to go through dialysis three days a week.
He says the process is exhausting but he must continue until his kidneys come back or he gets a transplant. Issa jokes that he doesn't want a transplant from one of his older uncles, prompting laughter around the room.
He plans to become a public speaker and educate others on his condition. Issa also wants to write a book. His aunt Florence Jacobs agrees that educating others on his disease is imperative.
"With a sickness like this that comes like a nightmare to people, why don't they talk about this?" she asks. "We didn't know about it until it happened."
The fundraising dinner for Issa was held on Saturday June 9th at St. Charles Church on Northeast 42nd Ave. Organizers got many $20 donations to help Issa and his wife to afford a home that can accommodate his condition.

A VERY HOTT AND SEXY COUNTRY SINGER and does NOT look like a turtle on steroids he sings great music and he is ver talented!! Kennys tractor isnt the only thing thats sexy!
5. | Kenny Chesney | ||
A mild-mannered, diminutive singer of moderate talent who somehow caught the proverbial Lucky Train and got a record deal; then somehow after years of exposure became perceived as actually talented and a against all odds became a "star" in Country music.
Mr. Chesney is known for his hard work and for releasing one forgettable song after another with his careful, monotone delivery. His vocal style is known for being devoid of passion or emotion. But he is most known in more recent years for his signature "lick" of dropping the last word of a lyrical line to "talk" it. Many attempts to explain his success have come up short. But one reviewer came close by simply citing "The Emporer's New Clothes." Kenny Chesney shows his lack of talent in the song "Another Beer In Mexico" or 80% of his other recordings.

text: They need to completely revamp the defense system. Mashing block on BOTH triggers is retarted. There is no telling if your dodging off of skill or plain luck at all. All you see is people block dancing and you can litterly throw out 1 punch and they will vanish that garbage...like seriously...this game has amazing potential..i mean i cant understand things being kinda simple but make it a little more solid, not a luck fest. Like above the guy said that combos are useless. The comboes mean absolutely jack diddly. Either A substituion takes a WHOPPING amount of chakra since they build it fast or B Chakra restoring needs to be slower. Stop the chakra from being knocked out of your character. Never in the show has any character had to pick up a chakra ball. That helps the other person too much that needs to go. Grabs need to be tech able not teleportable. They can make the tech animation for every characters grabs, hell tekken got grab tech animations for every character. Cut the damage down by at least 20 to 30 percent stuff is too strong. Ultimate jutsus i can let go...but everything else needs to be cut down a little. Those 3 man team attacks do WAAAY too much damage. And if you go for a 3 team attack if you miss that should be your chakra down the drain, same goes for ultimate jutsu too. Need more risk reward.

April 1, 2012
Trustee candidate Joanne C. DiRinaldo, an educator and researcher, said this week the board has shown "from my eyes, incremental baby steps. I would like to see more drastic attempts with transparency."
She suggested potential changes in bylaws that govern rules of confidentiality of dissent on the board, and to open up trustees meeting to public participation.
Unlike other vocal critics on social media, DiRinaldo said she does not favor the entire resignation of the board because she could not judge how they made their decisions behind closed doors. "I will say they arrived at their decision hastily and without due process."

I noticed that in Group Office, when in "Email" and composing a new email and selecting "Address Book", there are tabs for Users, Groups, Contacts, Companies and Addresslists. However when in the "Addressbook", there is only Contacts and Companies. It would be nice if the Address book could also have this "Users" tab
It is possilbe for uses to select any shared "Address Books", and so I have set up the Administrator's address book to be shared with members of the "Internal" group as "Read only", however there does not seem any easy way to add the 200 users to Administrator's address book (other than manually typing in the details into the Contacts list of the Addressbook).
Reading from http://www.group-office.com/wiki/Users, ... ermissions
A few special groups are created by default:
Admins, users of this group will have permission to everything. Usually you don't want to add any user to this group. See above.
Everyone, all users are in this group. Use carefully when granting permissions to this group.
Internal, this group is created by default and new users are commonly added to this group by default. It should contain all company users and not your customers

Question marks Santana, Oswalt kick off key series
The Angels will start Ervin Santana on Monday and it could be the last chance for the struggling right-hander to keep his place in the starting rotation.
Santana is 4-10 with a 6.00 earned run average this season and gave up six runs in 1 2/3 innings against the Rangers in his last start.
For the Rangers, right-hander Roy Oswalt will start Monday, but he has not pitched in 12 days after experiencing tightness in his back after his last start.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia stayed away from talking about whether Santana might be removed from the starting rotation if his performance doesn't improve Monday.
"We're not moving forward with any hypotheticals," Scioscia said Sunday. "Obviously, it's a time of year and time in our season where we need production from our starters and we're going to evaluate this thing.
"You can't skip any pages. You can't turn four pages ahead. We'll turn it one page at a time, see where we are, see where our staff is, what our best look is and make a determination."
The Rangers believe Oswalt can be a plus for their rotation, with one caveat. There is concern about the continuing health of the veteran right-hander, who will turn 35 on Aug. 29.
Oswalt threw approximately 50 pitches in a bullpen session Friday, and reported no issues with his back.
"I should be ready to go," Oswalt said.
Oswalt was scheduled to pitch Sunday against the White Sox, but the Rangers opted to flip him with Scott Feldman.
His biggest challenge will be harnessing his command after not pitching for nearly two weeks, Oswalt said.
"Hopefully the ball will sink pretty quickly," said Oswalt, who is 3-1 with a 5.22 ERA in five starts with the Rangers.
Oswalt knows the Rangers would like him to play a key role in the final two months of the season.
"My job is to eat up innings, as many as I can," he said. "That's what I try to do when I go out there."
Rangers manager Ron Washington isn't sure how long Oswalt will be able to pitch. "It depends on the results Oswalt gets out there," Washington said Sunday. "If everything goes well, he could get seven or eight innings. It might be six. It might be nine. Who knows."Angels ace Jered Weaver will face Rangers lefty Derek Holland in Game 2 of the series, with Dan Haren scheduled to start Wednesday's game against Yu Darvish, and C.J. Wilson for the Angels opposing Matt Harrison on Thursday in a matchup of left-handers.
"It's going to be a fun series," Rangers outfielder David Murphy said. "It's always fun when we play those guys. We are in our home park and have home-field advantage. We definitely need to use that to our advantage." The Angels lead the season series between the two teams, 5-4.
Angels: Trout expected back Monday
Angels rookie sensation Mike Trout was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game because of a left knee contusion the 20-year-old outfielder suffered during Saturday night's 3-0 loss to the Rays.
Trout, whose .350 batting average is best in the American League, banged his knee against the wall chasing Ben Zobrist's third-inning homer, Scioscia expects him to be back in the lineup Monday.
"He hit his knee into the wall pretty good," Scioscia said. "He's a little sore today. We'll see what his availability is to do something during the game and hopefully he'll get back in there tomorrow."
Rangers: Hamilton hitless as DH
Josh Hamilton is mired in a two-month hitting slump and is batting .115 in his last 17 games.
After Washington gave Hamilton a day off and held him out of the lineup Saturday, he went 0-for-2 with two walks as the designated hitter Sunday in a 2-0 victory over the White Sox.
Scioscia would like for his team to get through the series this week without Hamilton re-emerging."It's like if a rattlesnake is asleep, you don't take it for granted," Scioscia said. "He's a dangerous hitter and they have a deep lineup. And their lineup is more than just Josh Hamilton. You have challenges all the way up and down, and we have to pitch well to contain them like we did in the series we had [in Anaheim] earlier."
Worth noting
Plenty of tickets are still available for all four games of the series, as 10,000 remain for Monday, 12,000 for Tuesday, 7,000 for Wednesday and 9,500 for Thursday.

GLOVERSVILLE, N.Y. -- Two people from Gloversville are facing drug charges after police found multiple bags of heroin in their car, and then later in their apartment.
Gloversville police pulled over a car on Broad Street Thursday afternoon with Eugenia Archambeault, 22, and Tyrell Artis, 29, inside. Police say during the stop, they saw a bag of heroin in a passenger side vent. Officers say they also saw Archambeault try to get rid of several bags she had on her.
A search warrant was issued and police say they found more bags of heroin in the car, and then later more drugs, along with $1,000 in cash, in their North Main Street apartment. The two now face several drug charges.

Let's see....Spider Ball would obviously go along Spider Ball tracks in the Prime Trilogy. Speed Boost will obviously come into play when you need extra speed in most of the 2D Metroids. Boost Ball obviously is meant to be used on Boost Ball Half-pipes (OMG). Speed Boost obviously destroyes those "arrow" encrusted blocks in Super Metroid considering how the symbol on the block looks exactly like the upgrade when you obtain it. Gravity Suit clearly goes with water in Metroid Prime. Varia Suit obviously protects you from the heat.
Dark Suit would deal with Dark Aether protection (since it's an upgrade) same goes for the Light Suit. Hazard Sheild would obviously protect you from the Acid Rain on the Pirate Homeworld. Grapple Beam use is also obvious, in both Super Metroid and in the Prime Trilogy. Power Grip obviously has something to do with how you grab things (and you quickly see that it's ledges). The Hi-Jump, Space Jump, and Spring Ball all have to do with getting to a higher place in the respective form. PED Suit and whatever upgrades that come with it obviously will deal with Phazon. Same with the Phazon Suit. It's really not that difficult to figure out the uses to these upgrades....so....
The Boost Ball half-pipes weren't even revealed to be boost-ball half-pipes until you got the freaking Boost Ball, where the game goes "OH, YEAH, THOSE HAF-PIPES R 4 THIS!!!!11!" and points out the important ones for you.
Speed Booster blocks were NEVER obviously Speed Booster blocks - they looked exactly like normal wall tiles of that environment. The only way I could figure out that they were Speed Boost tiles were using the obvious method of running through it or revealing it via Power Bomb (Fusion and Zero Mission) or X-Ray Scope (Super Metroid) for the tricker sections, such as the destroyed Mother Brain chamber in Zero Mission. The only time Speed Booster blocks looked like, well, Speed Booster Blocks, was after you revealed them.
Gravity Suit only "clearly" goes through water in Prime AFTER you got the bloody suit. When you're in a watery area that you need the Gravity Suit for, there aren't any sections or neon flashing signs saying "YOU NEED THE EFFING GRAVITY SUIT/GRAVITY THINGAMAJIG IN PRIME 2 HERE". Hell, for people like me, who STARTED with Prime 1, it wasn't obvious at all that I had to go the Gravity Suit to get through the crashed Frigate.
And how the hell would the Varia Suit "obviously" protect you from the heat? The only people who would know that would be series veterans. There is no indication whatsoever, not even when you come across a hot or cold environment, that you needed the specific Varia Suit item to get through. It's the same thing as the Gravity Suit - no neon signs.
Hazard Shield would "obviously" be used for the Acid Rain because it's called the HAZARD SHIELD. Key word: HAZARD. xD;;
Grapple Beam in Super Metroid wasn't really obvious - when I first played the game, I was always wondering what the hell those blocks were...until I finally learned the hard way that they were for the Grapple Beam, five minutes after getting it. Again, no neon signs saying "USE THE BLOODY GRAPPLE BEAM HERE, YOU MORON". The obviousness in the Prime games was born out of necessity because of the system: you locked on to Grapple Points, thus they MUST be obvious or else players are going to get frustrated spending ten minutes attempting to lock onto what appears to be a grapple point. This is not the case with Hunters with the brightly-colored force fields.
Power Grip was only an item in Zero Mission, which, BTW, did NOT have brightly-glowing ledges to grab onto like in Prime 3.
Anyone with at least one brain cell can figure out that increased jumping capabilities = higher places. Far different from the force fields in Hunters.
The problem people have with the Hunters upgrades is that it is BLATANTLY obvious where to use them, even without scanning (which allowed you to easily figure out what weapon to use on that thing over there), and the fact that they're FORCE FIELDS. No specially colored rock or anything, no special statue powered by one weapon, no weapon-specific obstacles, NOTHING. Just force fields with those effing annoying things on it. Its obviousness isn't because of common sense (Hi-Jump, etc.) or because you figured it out (Gravity Suit), it's because of sheer laziness.
*cough* Anyways, I myself kinda enjoyed the Hunters single-player, though I thought that there was a lot of lost potential, especially with the bosses and the encounters with the other hunters and plot. Man, I thought Prime 2's plot was bad, Hunters was even worse - GO GET THESE EIGHT THINGS AFTER FIGHTING THESE SAME BOSSES OVER AND OVER AGAIN KTHXBAI. I liked the new weapons (except for the BattleHammer. Gravity, boo!) and the precision the controls allowed, however hand-cramp inducing they were, and I liked the other bounty hunters, Trace and Spire especially.
What I liked most about Hunters was the multiplayer. I was fond of normal battling against random people, "outsniping the snipers" as any character (and I could headshot kill people while being flung in the air!!!), and just overall having fun. What ruined it, however, was the freaking cheaters. I stopped playing multiplayer after I encountered a death-alting Sylux who wasn't in his Alt form - I didn't want to lose more rank points to assholes who would cheat.
Things I didn't like about Hunters: the repetition (and why aren't the places blown up after the escape sequences!!!!) with the bosses, plot, and levels, the one-hit-deaths, the hand-crampingness, and the cheaters. I also, for the first time ever in a Metroid game, didn't like the music. Music is a very important thing to me, especially in the Metroid series, which contains some of the best music I've ever had the pleasure to play to. Really, though, I thought Hunters was a fun little diversion, but I don't want them to make another one, simply because I've a feeling that the real Metroid games are going to be extremely scarce over the next few years and I want Nintendo's resources to go to making one of them and not another spinoff.

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank and mayor Kasim Reed are expected to announce an agreement to build a new stadium in downtown Atlanta.
The deal was first reported by FOX5 in Atlanta.
Reed accelerated the city's efforts to complete a deal for a stadium that will replace the Georgia Dome since Falcons team president Rich McKay made comments in early February that the franchise was open to relocating to the suburbs if the city couldn't meet its needs.
Those needs specifically include a price tag of an estimated $1 billion for a retractable roof stadium that would help the city retain chances at major sporting events, including the Final Four, Super Bowl and other sports such as international soccer.
The Falcons and NFL, through a stadium expense program created to fund construction and renovation projects, would likely be responsible for as much as $800 million of the estimated bill.
There was no vote from the state legislature -- nor is one required -- but many in the state have been vocal in opposition of any public funding for the new stadium. Reed said in February the city would be able to come up with the $200 million required through bonds and supported by a hotel tax.

I had a number of VLANs either side of a fibre optic trunk (8-core) between two buildings connected via two Cisco catalyst switches. The switches had 4 of the fibres connected in two pairs for redundancy. If one of the fibres failed the other would come online. Spanning tree is used to make sure both links don't come up at once and create a Layer 2 network loop.
By default spanning tree would drop one port for all VLANs (making the link unavailable) and bring one up for all traffic. This is not an efficient use of resources. What I required was to load balance over the two links, sending VoIP traffic down one link and data down the other.
The default spanning tree setup would do this. Note that the main switch is the root bridge by default:
Note that data will traverse the links on Gi1/1 for all traffic (both VLANs).
The solution was to manipulate the way in which spanning tree selects the root bridge and how it selects which ports to block on a per VLAN basis.
First we manipulate the other switch so that it becomes the root bridge on VLAN 2:
OtherSwitch(config)#spanning-tree vlan 2 priority 0
We can also ensure that the main switch stays the root bridge on VLAN 1:
MainSwitch(config)#spanning-tree vlan 1 priority 0
Finally we manipulate the respective ports so they do not block (by setting their priority to 0):
MainSwitch(config)#int gig1/1
MainSwitch(config-if)#spanning-tree vlan 1 port-priority 0
OtherSwitch(config)#int gig1/1
OtherSwitch(config-if)#spanning-tree vlan 1 port-priority 0
OtherSwitch(config)#int gig1/2
OtherSwitch(config-if)#spanning-tree vlan 2 port-priority 0
MainSwitch(config)#int gig1/2
MainSwitch(config-if)#spanning-tree vlan 2 port-priority 0
You can confirm the status of the ports by issuing the show spanning-tree command in global configuration mode on each of the switches.
When VLAN 1 traffic is sent over the trunk the following topology will apply:
But, when VLAN 2 traffic is sent over the trunk the following topology will apply:
Note the different port that is blocked, and also note that a different fibre optic is being used to send the data. Now we can use two links to send data simultaneously without worrying about creating any loops in the network.
The important point here is that we still maintain a redundant network, if either of the links fail the other will be used to send traffic from both VLANs.
If we simply put the Gi1/1 ports on VLAN 1 and Gi1/2 ports on VLAN 2 we would not failover in the event of a cable/port failure because we would no longer be using spanning tree.

void Matrix4x4::FastInvert() { swap(m[0][1], m[1][0]); swap(m[0][2], m[2][0]); swap(m[1][2], m[2][1]);
the translation part is then equally easy inverted (by taking the negative translation and multiplying it with the inverted rotation matrix, which is the transpose we just calculated).
float m30 = -(m[0][0] * m[3][0] + m[1][0] * m[3][1] + m[2][0] * m[3][2]); float m31 = -(m[0][1] * m[3][0] + m[1][1] * m[3][1] + m[2][1] * m[3][2]); m[3][2] = -(m[0][2] * m[3][0] + m[1][2] * m[3][1] + m[2][2] * m[3][2]); m[3][1] = m31; m[3][0] = m30; }
it should be noted that this only works if the matrix is unscaled because the row vectors of the rotation matrix are required to have unit length. the calculation should be extendable though if the matrix is scaled equally in all directions.

- Divide goat cheese mixture evenly among wrappers, dolloping mixture in the center of each square.
- Cover squares with remaining 8 wrappers. Press any air bubbles away from filling, then press all of the corners down and around filling. Use a large round cookie cutter just smaller than the eggroll wrappers to cut ravioli into large rounds.
- Cook ravioli in a large pot of boiling, salted water for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain completely.
- Serve with Clear Tomato Broth and garnish with remaining 4 to 8 teaspoons aged goat cheese, baby basil, and extra virgin olive oil, if desired.
*Look for eggroll wrappers in the produce section of most supermarkets.
Cooks Notes: If you are not using ravioli immediately, sprinkle lightly with cornstarch, and refrigerate in a sealed container between layers of waxed paper. If you dont want to make the tomato broth, top the ravioli with chopped, seeded, ripe tomatoes.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

Dwayne Schintzius at NBA.com |
Dwayne Kenneth Schintzius (October 14, 1968 - April 15 ,2012) was a former American basketball player. He was perhaps best known for his role as a Russian player in the 1996 Whoopi Goldberg comedy Eddie, and his mullet. Schintzius testified in the trial of his former New Jersey Nets teammate Jayson Williams that he witnessed Williams killing his own dog with a shotgun.
After attending Brandon High School, Schintzius went to the University of Florida and performed passably for the Florida basketball team in the late 1980s. He had several disciplinary problems while in college, including an assault charge for allegedly attacking a car with a tennis racket. In the first game after he returned from that suspension, Florida played Vanderbilt in a crucial Southeastern Conference matchup. Prior to the game, Vanderbilt was notified that if any tennis balls were thrown, there would be a technical foul assessed. There was, however, no announcement made to the crowd of this consequence. With two seconds left, down by two points, Florida turned the ball over. Thinking the game was over, some fans threw tennis balls at Schintzius, and a technical foul was assessed. The identity and school affiliation of the throwers of the balls has never been identified in a public forum. Schintzius himself hit both free throws, and Florida won in overtime. Florida eventually won the SEC by one game over Vanderbilt that season.
He was later suspended indefinitely in 1990 by his coach Don DeVoe for the combination of a fraternity house fight and a stubborn refusal to get a haircut. Schintzius released a statement that he could "no longer sail under the authority of Captain Ahab."
Because of his height and his relatively soft hands, he was regarded as a good prospect. Regardless, he was the 24th pick in the 1990 NBA draft. His initial team, the San Antonio Spurs, traded him to the Sacramento Kings for Antoine Carr on September 23, 1991. The Kings waived Schintzius during the 1991-92 season, but the New Jersey Nets picked him up on October 1, 1992.
Schintzius played the majority of the balance of the 1990s with a number of teams-three seasons with the Nets, a year with the Indiana Pacers, and then a year with the Clippers. After missing the entire 1997-98 season, he played with the Celtics in 1998-99 before retiring. After several years away from basketball, he attempted a comeback in the USBL with the Brevard Blue Ducks in 2003.

We are HellFire Development, with our own website at:
We are making an "immersive" type game that takes place in an urban environment. The player will be free to roam around and participate in the many activities that our virtual city will have to offer. In addition, there will be "special" characters with their own storylines. The goal of the player is to work, and have fun.
For example:
One player owns an apartment, and works as a taxi driver picking up both human and computer controlled entities. He likes to spend his money at the casino. He has to pay his rent and bills which will eat up a good portion of his income. He may resort to crime to get more money.
Money will be a very scarce resource, so there will be a constant struggle between the "haves" and the "have-nots." Each player will be persistent with an account that is stored on the server. We plan to keep the server side implementation relatively simple for now, so that we do not have to make major modifications to the underlying engine. Changes to the server side implementation will be made as the game's popularity increases.
It is believed that such a game will be very popular because it combines many popular elements of the Grand Theft Auto and the Sims series. Our game's major strength over these other titles is that we are free to continuously add new content well after the game is released. We are free to add content that many publishers may be reluctant to add. A lot of publishers are known to be conservative, so that many great ideas are often left on the shelves collecting dust. Add in multiplayer and the possibilities are endless, giving the game a very high replayability factor.
Currently we have a small band of artists and programmers (about 5 including me). The project is still in a very early phase. I'm trying to get everyone to idle in our IRC channel: (irc.enterthegame.com #hellfire) feel free to stop by and ask questions. We are looking for developers who can work consistently and have initiative.
We are working at a very high level with the Torque engine, and we expect to produce a "proof-of-concept" demo by 4/1/2005. We believe that with this demo, we will have a very good framework to begin serious development and also to attract many more talented people who may have reservations about joining our team.
Current Openings:
We are looking for experienced programmers in C++ who are willing to learn Torque-script (owning a Torque license is a plus).
We are also looking for self-motivated artists who can produce artwork that we need in a reasonable amount of time.
My experience:
I have worked in several "groups" in the past, I will not name names, but all of them have turned out to be a waste of time. In retrospect, they all had a combination of fundamental flaws:
Starting from scratch
Lack of scope
Lack of focus & direction
Lack of organization
Grand but empty promises
I can assure anyone reading this, that this project is indeed serious and will get off the ground. I have already invested a lot of my own money in purchasing a Torque license and purchasing the website. I have over 7 years programming experience and a computer science degree from Johns Hopkins University. If this sounds like something you would like to do, drop me an email at: email@example.com

First thoughts and prayers for all of those involved. It is not an easy situation for either of the families.
One of the last fatals I investigated happened near the same location. It is a dangerous area. The pedestrian was struck by an off duty police officer.
I told the officer he would have to take a breath test as required in an investigation of this type. He passed it and sadly the family showed up at the scene. That is never an easy situation to deal with for all involved.
My thoughts go out to the family of the deceased and also to the driver's family. No one wants to be involved in a situation like that, and don't forget handling a fatal is no easy task for the police officers involved.

Welcome to the Patch Jenny. Sorry you had to let everyone know about your loss this way and so soon. Hope you'll post again when you feel better.
1:01 pm on Sunday, January 6, 2013
Calm down calm down. I just thought it was funny to read tweet from police and obviously it is a very sad story. Every comment i read on here is about race or politics. This was just a comment about twitter. I'm 29 going on eighty give me a break.
3:44 pm on Sunday, January 6, 2013
"I told the officer he would have to take a breath test as required in an investigation of this type." In my opinion, more breath tests should be taken of off-duty officers. Being related to an officer, I know for a fact that when an officer is pulled over, all they have to do is show their id and they're on their way. I've also been out, watching football games or whatever, where there are off-duty cops who drink, and they're not really worried about drinking and driving, because of "professional courtesy."
I know this is not related to this specific case, and I am very sorry for the loss of life, but this is something that has bothered me for quite some time. The relative who is a cop has told me that if he were to cite another officer who's off duty for speeding, or whatever, that his superiors would reprimand him. Sad, but true.

Stephaine things are changing. No officer wants to put his job on the line. Some officers have actually faced charges or scrutiny regarding failure to to their job.
Even as far back as when I retired when a certain officer was involved in an accident who had been drinking, he was arrested and charged.
You protect your job. That comes first.

You people are retarded! Is this article about cops and the assumptions of what they do off duty as every citizen does...or is this about an innocent woman losing her life. You peopke should be ashamed of yourselves. Instead of bashing cops who protect your sorry asses...why not say a prayer for the families involved in this tradegy. Put youraelf in their shoes and imagine your loved one being killed!!!!

And I'm so glad your sensitivity came out as well, calling other people "retarded". And just because the conversation turns "off topic", doesn't mean that people don't care about the loss of life. Thank you for reminding us to say a prayer. And as far as "bashing" cops, some of us are just tired of the hypocrisy of those who protect our sorry asses, oh, and pay their salaries.

Nighthawk, I just lost a loved one. I watched my mother suffer and die. I also offered prayers to all those involved in the incident.
Many of the topics on this sight can morph into other areas that sometimes are related. I am not suggesting in this tragedy that is case but more of the humane condition to discuss potential problems that may help others in the future.

The driver of the r-150 was a undercover police officer I line on that corner and my wife was out side as he tried to give her mouth to mouth hard to believe they would leave out that part in the ''NEWS''

Dianna was my ex-mother-in-law and i loved her very much but she didn't have to go that away. The family has so many unanswered question. So if you and your wife was there can you please email me at email@example.com and please let us know she is really missed. Her grandkids need to know what had happened to their grandmother. We don't know what to say to them and the police won't let us know anything we know that it was so bad that we can't give her the right funeral she deserves. So if you have a heart or soul please let us know what you thank you. Dianna i will miss you and i will always love you God bless you!!!! Paula

Losing a loved one is a terrible thing. I wish there was something I could do but I can't. I can only hope that time and the families support of each other will help with the healing part.
Jon, they give out the bare minimum amount of facts on a lot of cases. I can't believe that Johnson did not or was not in front of the podium regarding that shooting in Dundalk defending his officers after they were cleared by the State's Attorney.
You leave those men swinging in the breeze in the eyes of some community members. That is not fair.
