How to Wash:Jeans are very popular trousers Blue jeans, which are primarily made from cotton denim fabric, are part of most wardrobes today. Denim fabric was first woven in Nimes, France, and was introduced to the USA by Christopher Columbus. According to "A Dictionary of Textile Terms," this soft cloth was "first brought to America by Columbus...as the sails on the Santa Maria." The fabric, which was referred to as denim de Nimes, as well as Serge de Nimes, was generally used for heavier weight items, and later was introduced into the fashion industry.
•l Sort laundry, putting all the jeans in one pile. Put any new jeans or work jeans that could have excess dirt or oil on them in a separate pile to be washed alone
•l Wash new jeans, especially darker ones, alone the first few washes. The color can bleed at first and stain your other clothes. Turn darker-wash jeans inside out before washing them to help preserve the color
•l Check settings for the appropriate water level and temperature. Jeans do well with cold or warm water. You can wash them on hot, but you run the risk of shrinking them
•l Turn on the washer and add detergent to the running water

December 03, 2010
CARY, N.C., December 3, 2010 -- Autonomic Resources, an IT and service integration firm serving the U.S. federal government, in partnership with 4K Solutions, has successfully deployed IBM's BigFix Endpoint Security Software for the National Guard across multiple states. BigFix has reduced the time it takes to administer patches to the entire state's servers, desktops and laptops from over a week to less than a day and in some cases to just minutes, while providing real-time, continuous visibility and control for all endpoints across the state agencies' networks.
With more than 7,000 National Guard end-points currently protected by Autonomic Resource's BigFix deployments, state Army Reserve National Guard agencies have achieved a level of ROI based on the dramatic time savings on administering patches, as well as their ability to now:
Use one Information Assurance (IA) console to complete more than 98 percent of all daily and weekly IA patch management tasks;
Manage its patch and configuration changes quickly and easily across heterogeneous computing environments;
Deploy patches intelligently across all of its operating systems, servers, and desktops, regardless of physical location, operating system or native language;
Identify vulnerabilities on intermittently connected end points, such as laptops, and remediate them regardless of network connectivity;
Secure their networks proactively and quickly, freeing time to concentrate on more critical activities;
Provide real-time updates to the Chain of Command through "State of IT" reports; and
Eliminate the need for SMS, GFI LanGuard and McAfee eEye Retina security vulnerability scanning.
"Intelligent computing at the endpoint is a strategic approach to extending security and compliance globally, while streamlining often time-consuming IT processes," said John Keese, Autonomic Resources' president. "Autonomic recognizes the importance of delivering these advantages through technologies that are well-suited to address the complexities of state and federal government agency networks. We are pleased to welcome 4K Solutions as a strategic partner and BixFix by IBM to our growing product line."
To demonstrate the solution's capabilities and successes, Autonomic Resources will co-exhibit with 4K Solutions and BigFix at the upcoming National Guard Bureau NGB JC41 2010 Joint C41 Conference & Exposition (booth number 835P), which runs December 6 - 8 in Nashville, Tenn. The companies will also host a free webinar January 6, 2011; for more information or to register, http://www1.autonomicresources.com/l/3312/2010-12-02/4X5YF.
According to an Information Assurance manager with the State Army National Guard, every state National Guard agency should implement a solution like BigFix, and the collaboration between Autonomic Resources and 4K Solutions means packages are affordable and can be customized appropriately. "BigFix is the easiest solution for putting third party software updates onto the machines that need it; the first I've seen that is virtually plug-and-play on such a large scale. What's more, the product is based on 'Pull' not 'Push' for getting the updates out, which means patch delivery is assured not assumed." He added that the solution is able to help with DAIG inspections, IAVA compliance, STIG compliance, Report generating, Asset management, power (green) management and network access control. "In fact, the IAVAs that came out recently were actually already patched on 480 of my machines because we didn't have to wait on our antivirus software, resulting in huge efficiencies and time savings."

Southern California breaking news and trends
CDE: Dropout numbers drop, high school graduate numbers grow in California
Photo by cityyear/Andy Dean via Flickr Creative Commons
California is making some progress in graduation rates as the overall number of high school dropouts drop.
The California Department of Education reports Wednesday that slightly more high school students graduated in 2011 than the year before, and fewer students dropped out.
More than 76 percent of students statewide earned their high school diplomas, marking a 1.5 percent increase from the 2010 graduation rate, said Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson.
The increase, Torlakson says, was higher for Hispanic, black and English learner students — just over 2 percent for black and Hispanic, and nearly 4 percent for English learners.
Meanwhile, overall dropout rate for the state — which does not include students who drop out before ninth grade — decreased by 2 percent.
The biggest decrease was seen in English learners - 4 percent fewer dropped out, while 2 percent and 3 percent fewer Hispanic and black students left school, respectively.
Rick de la Toree, a spokesman with the L.A. County Office of Education, said that high school dropout rates have continued to decrease in the county among all student groups.
According to L.A. County data, overall 2011 dropout rate in the county was 15.7 percent, compared to a 18.9 percent dropout rate in 2010. Also, graduation rates have increased 1.1 percentage points from the 2010 graduation rate — 71.6 percentof students who started high school in 2007 graduated with their class in 2011.
The L.A. County graduation rate for African American students increased by 4.1 percentage points, surpassing the statewide increase of 2.3 percentage points when compared to 2010.

FizzCast: TCU to Big East is a Necessary Evil
admin | Nov 30, 2010 | Comments 1
Now that TCU is officially a member of the Big East, The FizzCast tackles the ramifications. The geographical problems everyone seems to think is a huge problems?
Listen to a fresh FizzCast on TCU's addition to the Big East:
"For TCU, their travel does not increase that much, but like DA tweeted, those trips for women's soccer from Philadelphia to Dallas are gonna be a bitch."
Speaking of D.A., he stopped by to opine on the TCU move. His thoughts? Pathetic that Big East football's savior has to come from a Ft. Worth, TX private school, but a necessary evil.
"It's sad that it has to come from the Mountain West, it's sad that the Big East football program has to be propped up by a team called the Horned Frogs. But that's the deal. This year, the Big East isn't gonna have a ranked team by the end of the season. This conference has schools in Chicago and Milwaukee, we stopped being the Big East in a little quadrant of Northeast private schools a long time ago. It's a necessary evil."
So you can call it the Big Middle East, for now. Moving on to Atlantic City, I mentioned Brian Oliver's potential to explode was seen in full form during the Legends Classic. After Kannell criticized The Per'fesser on the early season struggles, he gave the Orange a mulligan following the Georgia Tech wingman's career performance.
"Yes, they need to play better defense. But just from watching the game, not just the stat sheet, I think a lot of thos shots are just a good player making fantastic shots."
Full-bodied FizzCast this week. Thoughts on TCU, hoops early struggles, and Orange bowl talk, Team Fizz has it covered.

Canada sets up dream finale vs. U.S. for Group A
SASKATOON Fans in Saskatoon can rejoice. After earning an 8-2 win against Slovakia, Canada set up the dream duel for first place in Group A against USA on New Years Eve.The two North American teams are both unbeaten after dominating Switzerland, Latvia and Slovakia. The winner of the December 31st game will earn first place in the group and, more importantly, an automatic berth to the semi-finals.Canada Slovakia 8-2 (3-0, 4-1, 1-1)Canada was all business today against the Slovaks, making sure not to put their hopes for first place in the group in jeopardy. Halfway through the first period Taylor Hall put in a wrist shot to break the ice. The fans hadnt even settled back into their seats when Alex Pietrangelo fired in a shot from the blueline 21 seconds later for the 2-0 lead.Halls second goal at the 10:43 mark was the end of the game for Slovak goaltender Marek Ciliak, who was replaced by Tomas Halasz.Canada put in another four goals in the second period, but the stanza was most notable for the end of Canadas shutout streak of 157:25 minutes when Slovakias Richard Panik netted the first goal against Canada at this years event late in the period.On Canadas side it was Luke Adam, Ryan Ellis, Brayden Schenn and Hall scoring to break the game open for a 7-1 lead at the end of 40 minutes. Despite trailing, the Slovaks kept up their hard-hitting game plan. For much of the second period, delivering hard hits was almost as important as scoring for both teams.With things all but decided, the third period was mostly academic as the teams slowed, scoring one goal each and bringing the final to 8-2.USA and Canada have a combined 52 goals in their six games with Canada holding a 30-2 goal advantage and the Americans putting in 22 goals while allowing four.Slovakia has a day off before they have a key game in the bid to make the quarterfinals against Switzerland. The highest Slovakia can place in the group is third as Canada and USA have the top two spots locked up.Latvia United States 1-12 (0-6, 1-1, 0-5)The U.S. skated to its third win with a decisive 12-1 decision over Latvia. It was the third consecutive drubbing for the Latvians who, at this point, need a miracle to avoid the Relegation Round.Saskatoon has certainly not been a venue for upsets so far, as the North American heavyweights have cruised through the Preliminary Round. Today was no different. The Latvians had no chance against the heavily-favoured Americans from the first whistle. Danny Kristo scored his first of two first-period goals 2:30 into action, and things just went downhill from there for the out-matched Latvians. USA rattled in three power play goals in the period, and closed it out with a pair of goals coming 36 seconds apart in the last minute of the stanza.American penalty trouble led to Latvias brightest spot of the game when Gvido Kauss scored a five-on-three goal at point-blank range, bringing the crowd to its feet and cutting the lead to 6-1. But the Americans were quick to slam the door on any thoughts Latvia might have had about a huge comeback, restoring the six-goal pad when Chris Kreider put in his second power-play goal.The third period was all USA. Derek Stepan put in the rebound for an early-period goal, setting the tone for the last 20 minutes. The Americans dominated with another four goals, bringing the final to 12-1. Stepan had two goals in the period. Jason Zucker and Kristo were the other double goal-scorers for the U.S, while Kreider put in a last-minute penalty shot to pace all scorers with a hat trick.After getting pulled in his first two outings, Janis Kalnins played his first full game in net for the Latvians and was kept busy, facing more than 50 shots. Mike Lee picked up the win in his second appearance for the U.S.Latvia will play its most important game of the Preliminary Round tomorrow against Switzerland in a confrontation that is sure to have Relegation Round implications. The Americans have the day off to prepare for the hotly anticipated New Years Eve battle against Canada.JENNY WIEDEKE

This paper presents a methodological perspective to the construction and validation of consumer attitudes on biosecurity principles. Four biosecurity principles are reviewed with regard to indigenous chicken production and consumption. Using Fishbein Multi-Attribute Model, the four principles are translated into a psychometric construct to measure consumer attitudes. A 74-item 7-point Likert scale is constructed. The study proposes a procedure to validate the construct. This includes conducting a pilot study to gather primary data, summarizing the data, testing inter-item validities, and performing factor analysis to measure construct validity among others. The study sets a methodological perspective that researchers, government agencies, international organizations and donors can use to measure consumer attitudes on biosecurity principles for indigenous chicken.

Marco: You know, [Cassie] is just not getting the whole superhero thing. Would Wolverine look things up in the phone book?
Rachel: Yeah, well, Wolverine has a big advantage over us. He's not real.
One character tells another; this is reality, this is not a movie, or any variation thereof, most often the stock phrase "This isn't a/an X, you know"; in order to get them to divorce themselves from an unrealistic notion — only, little do they know, their whole world indeed isn't reality! This phrase is often used when defying a trope. In other words, this trope is a Lampshade Hanging affirmation of the Fourth Wall, with a subtle joke and a bit of dramatic irony rolled in.
Not to be confused with madness or Sparta or Patrick or the band that performs "Big Bottom", and especially not to be confused with Halloween.
It is a message to the viewers that "Hey, this show/movie is more grounded in reality than average." This message is not always true. Sometimes it's done for reconstruction purposes where a trope is played realistically but still works in real life.
It's somewhat common in sci-fi and comedy which feature wildly varying levels of realism and can be used to help the audience get a feel for what the limits are. Beyond the Impossible is when these limits are established and then deliberately broken.
A very common example involves Santa Claus turning out to be real and bringing joy to cynical adults.
Contrast Not a Game, which (usually) does not invoke the Fourth Wall. May be subverted by an Aside Glance. Another possible twist is to have the characters object to an "unrealistic" idea that is in fact perfectly realistic and sensible within that fictional universe.
When inverted, this is Leaning on the Fourth Wall.
Closely related to Wrong Genre Savvy, although the consequences of the latter tend to be much more dire. See also Where Do You Think You Are?, Arbitrary Skepticism, You Watch Too Much X, Real World Episode, Literary Agent Hypothesis, Daydream Believer, Trapped in TV Land. Contrast with Medium Awareness and Reality Is Unrealistic. Reality Ensues is the exact opposite of this trope.

Home > Research Legal Advice > Employment / Labor > Are small firms required to offer FMLA benefits to its employees?
My previous firm (a larger one) offered intermittent FMLA benefits as I had a disability that sort of came and went. I would like to talk to my current job about this but am nervous and not sure if it is "required" or if my last firm was just doing something to help me. Any advice would be appeciated.
An employer must have at least 50 employees to be covered under the FMLA. However, courts also recognize a theory of "joint employment" under the FMLA where more there is common ownership or control of a number of small entities which, when added together, have an aggregate of at least 50 employees. As an employee, you must also have been employed by the company for at least 12 months and worked 1250 hours or more during that time period to be a covered employee under the FMLA. You also mention, however, that you may have a disability. The Americans with Disabilites Act ("ADA") applies to any employer with 15 or more full or part-time employees. Under the ADA, there is no requirement that you be there for at least one year or that you work a certain number of hours. Intermittent time off for medical treatment may be considered a reasonable accommodation under the ADA even if the FMLA does not apply to you.
In order to be subject to the FMLA, a company must have 50 employees within a 75 mile radius of your workplace. In order to be eligible under the FMLA, you must have worked for the company for one year on a full-time basis (1,250 hours).
Even if the FMLA does not apply to you, it is still possible that you could be entitled to accommodations under the disability discrimination statutes. You should discuss this with a local employment lawyer.

'Lie to Me' review
The measure of a good TV procedural, for me, lies in the way it handles its exposition. Every case-of-the-week crime show medical drama has to handle it somehow, but there's an art to making it seem like a natural part of the story that not every show can handle.
FOX's new drama Lie to Me is one of those that handles exposition well. Wednesday's (Jan. 21) premiere, following American Idol, has to lay the groundwork for its case while at the same time introducing us to the highly specialized field of its lead character, human lie detector Dr. Cal Lightman, and it manages to do both without losing its story-telling momentum. It also offers up a fascinating new character in Lightman, and the show seems poised to join House and Bones in the network's lineup of bright and entertaining procedurals.
We first meet Lightman -- played with a gleam in the eye by the talented Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs, The Incredible Hulk) -- as he's in an interrogation room with a skinhead who's planted a bomb in a church. The FBI is outside, itching to take action, and the guy's lawyer is urging his client not to say anything. "I don't have much faith in words myself," Lightman replies, yet within a minute he's figured out where the bomb is.
He does that, we soon learn, by studying "microexpressions" -- the small, unconscious tics we all have that betray our true feelings even we're trying to cover them up. He hires out his services to government agencies, law enforcement and other clients through his company, the Washington-based Lightman Group (Lightman's work, incidentally, is based on the real-life work of psychologist Paul Ekman). Joining him at the Lightman Group are psychologist Gillian Foster (Kelli Williams, The Practice) and researcher Eli Loker (Brendan Hines), whose job has led him to a policy of "radical honesty" -- that is, telling the truth in every situation, no matter how uncomfortable.
The premiere follows two cases -- the murder of a high-school teacher in which a socially maladroit student is the prime suspect and that of a congressman who's caught up in a sex scandal. In both, the show uses a multitude of push-in closeups, slow motion and scenes of Cal and his cohorts breaking down video to illustrate the various players' tells. Their expressions are sometimes paired with amusing shots of famous folks, from Kato Kaelin to Dick Chaney to Simon Cowell.
The visual tricks, character introductions -- including that of a new Lightman hire, TSA agent and "natural" deception spotter Ria Torres (Monica Raymund) -- and the two cases make for a rather busy, maybe even cluttered, hour of television. Now that we've been introduced to the concept, future episodes of Lie to Me can presumably dial back the cutaways and relax on the amount of expository ground they have to cover.
But as I noted, writer Sam Baum handles all that exposition fairly well. The here's-how-it-works dialogue doesn't feel clunky (which is also a testament to the ability of Roth and Williams, who handle most of it), so the episode doesn't get bogged down in explanation.
A lot of what makes Lie to Me fun to watch comes from Roth, who clearly is having a ball playing a guy who, even if he's not the smartest person in the room, probably still knows more than anyone else. Lightman enjoys having that leg up on people and isn't afraid to use it for his own gain or to prove a point, but you can also tell that it's not always a treat for him to bear the knowledge that everyone lies, pretty much all the time.
Williams handles her role as good cop to Lightman's occasionally tactless bad cop well, but you also get the sense that although Cal pioneered the work in their field, she's every bit his equal otherwise. Hines and Torres are given enough to do in the pilot that it's likely they'll become full-fledged characters as the series moves forward.
If the show suffers in any way, it may be in comparison to The Mentalist, CBS' first-year hit about another guy who sees things regular people don't. (Although no one seems to be talking about how similar the concept of The Mentalist was to that of USA's Psych anymore.) It seems to me that the characters are different enough, and the canvas of Lie to Me can encompass more than just criminal matters. Setting the show in Washington, one of the world capitals of prevarication, will probably allow for stories involving government and politics without losing the naturally high stakes involved in crime stories.
FOX obviously believes in the potential of Lie to Me to put it behind its biggest show. The early evidence is that the network's faith in the series will pay off.
I will watch ANYTHING with Kelli Williams. She was fantastic as Lindsay Dole on "The Practice".
I'm definitely looking forward to this shows. All indications are that it will be fresh...
I'm definitely looking forward to this shows. All indications are that it will be fresh...
Same time slot as Lost, Criminal Minds, and Life. Good luck.
Could be worse. FOX could put you on Thursday night.....oh, wait, that's Bones.
Tim Roth is in it ... what other reason do I need to tune in?
oh i would've liked to watch this show but it's up against lost and i don't record!! :(
Finally, Kelli Williams is back on television!! Now everone can see that Jennifer Morrison "House" is just a poor man's Kelli Williams and that only one of them deserves screen time.
that show is a total rip off of psych!!!!
No way, canceled after five-six episodes.
it looks like it will be interesting. I stopped watching Lost long time ago, and I will record criminal mind. I am excited to watch it!

Welcome back. I hope you're ready for this month's creature: the dragon! Dragons are iconic to D&D (heck, it is called Dungeons & Dragons, after all), and they have always been considered among the tougher foes that adventurers face. With the current rules (and Draconomicon offers even more options than the Monster Manual does), you can really create your own customized dragons so that one red dragon (or black, or white . . .) is not exactly the same as another. You can customize them within a color choice with feats, skills, and spells. You can even add templates to them. And that is what we will consider this month. It is easy enough to make fiendish and celestial dragons, but here at the Creature Incarnations Project we have discovered some truly weird dragons that we would like to share with you. They are all based on the standard adult red dragon, an iconic image in Dungeons & Dragons. I hope your player characters have protection from fire spells up? Oh, and protection from cold for the last specimen? Good. Now, step this way . . . d20 Modern: Alien Dragon In the modern world, dragons are themselves strange mystical creatures that defy imagination even as they embody it. A flying dragon-shaped tentacled mass is a horror from within nightmares -- something that should not be unleashed on the world. Who knows where this one comes from? Perhaps in some place, some technologically advanced aliens can bring dreams to life, and this was one of their results. Perhaps it comes from beyond the universe. The pseudonatural red dragon can assume the form of a tentacled mass that has its original shape, and this is the form that the creature stays in most of the time. It uses its unnaturalness to its advantage in combat, as well as its fiery breath and its FX abilities. It's smart enough to know when to worry about bullets and when not to, and it flees if its life is in danger. However, it remembers those it fled from, and returns to take revenge later. Pseudonatural Adult Red Dragon CR 17 Snatch (Ex) Against Small or smaller creatures, bite for 2d8+11 per round or claw for 2d6+5 per round. Crush (Ex) Area 15 ft. by 15 ft.; Small or smaller opponents take 2d6+16 points of bludgeoning damage and must succeed on a DC 26 Reflex save or be pinned. True Strike (Su) As the true strike spell; once/day. Breath Weapon (Su) 50-ft. cone, once every 1d4 rounds, damage 12d10 fire, Reflex DC 26 half. Alternate Form (Su) As a standard action a pseudonatural creature can take the form of a grotesque, tentacled mass. Its abilities remain unchanged. Other creatures receive a -1 morale penalty on their attack rolls against the pseudonatural creature while it is in this form. Oozy Dragon Talk about weird-looking dragons. This creature started out with draconic heritage, but the mixture of ooze within its bloodlines created something completely unnatural. It cannot fly, but it can still use its fiery breath weapon and cast spells (which are Charisma-based rather than Intelligence-based). It is more cunning than smart; in fact, it must be said, it is pretty stupid. Dungeon Masters may want to keep an eye on how challenging it turns out to be -- it may not be as tough as its CR would indicate. Sometimes adding a template to a creature that starts out tough does not produce a creature as tough as the template thinks it will be. The ooze dragon has the shape of a red dragon, even with wings, but it is translucent and oozy. It attacks with its breath weapon first, and it casts spells such as mage armor and shield, expeditious retreat, false life, and protection from energy (cold) before battle begins if possible. It rarely thinks to use ray of enfeeblement or mirror image, but you can throw your players for a loop by having it use them. Note: This creature uses the gelatinous creature template found on page 116 of Savage Species. Gelatinous Adult Red Dragon CR 17 Acid (Ex) A gelatinous adult red dragon body produces a corrosive slime. Any creature that is struck by a gelatinous adult red dragon's attack automatically takes 1d8 points of acid damage. Snatch (Ex) Against Small or smaller creatures, bite for 4d6+11 plus 1d8 acid per round or claw for 2d6+5 plus 1d8 acid per round. Crush (Ex) Area 15 ft. by 15 ft.; Small or smaller opponents take 2d6+16 points of bludgeoning damage and must succeed on a DC 29 Reflex save or be pinned. Breath Weapon (Su) 50-ft. cone, once every 1d4 rounds, damage 12d10 fire, Reflex DC 29 half. Resilient (Ex) Gelatinous creatures have less defined shapes than the normal creatures they resemble. As a result, it is more difficult to score crippling or killing blows against them. A gelatinous creature cannot be flanked, takes 1d6 less damage from a successful sneak attack, and takes one-half the additional damage dealt by a critical hit. Half-Troll Dragon or Half-Dragon Troll? There are two ways to make a creature that is half troll and half red dragon. You can apply the half-dragon template to a troll, or you can apply the half-troll template (from Fiend Folio) to a red dragon. To see how these work out, both are presented below and you can see which you like best. The first one, the half-dragon troll, looks like a troll with red scales and huge red draconic wings. It looks very imposing, but very troll-like, and came about when a dragon mated with a female troll. The second version, the half-troll dragon, looks like a red dragon with bumps and warts on its skin, and some hair growing around its head ridges. It has a greenish cast to its scales, but that is hard to see unless you are within 60 feet (Spot DC 15 to notice). It might have come about through forcible magical experimentation, though it could have come about through a troll mating with a female red dragon. Half-Dragon (Red) Troll CR 7 Rend (Ex) A half-dragon troll that hits with both claw attacks latches onto the opponent's body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an extra 2d6+15 points of damage. Breath Weapon (Su) 30-ft. cone, once every day, damage 6d8 fire, Reflex DC 20 half. Half-Troll Adult Red Dragon CR 17 Snatch (Ex) Against Small or smaller creatures, bite for 4d6+14 per round or claw for 2d6+7 per round. Crush (Ex) Area 15 ft. by 15 ft.; Small or smaller opponents take 2d8+21 points of bludgeoning damage and must succeed on a DC 29 Reflex save or be pinned. Breath Weapon (Su) 50-ft. cone, once every 1d4 rounds, damage 12d10 fire, Reflex DC 29 half. Rend (Ex) A half-troll dragon that hits with both claw attacks latches onto the opponent's body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an extra 2d8+21 points of damage. Water and Fire Mixed Who said that you could not mix fire and water? Here is a perfectly good example: a half-water elemental red dragon. And while we're at it, we're giving it another head (the multiheaded template is my favorite). This allows us to make a cryo-based creature, which means it has the water, cold, and fire subtypes. Nothing says a creature cannot have both fire and cold subtypes (just look at Tiamat), though you may not want to make a practice of introducing such creatures into your campaign. This dragon's skin and scales possess an almost purplish tint -- a mix of the blue-green from the elemental heritage and the red from the dragon heritage. It tends to have more of a nurturing nature than a red dragon normally would have, but watch out if you attack or threaten something under its protection. It lives in the mountains near lakes, since it prefers to live near the water and swim. Its two heads may disconcert any onlookers, and the fact that it can breathe frost or fire should be a total surprise. Two-Headed Half-Elemental (Water) Adult Cryo-Red Dragon CR 20 Snatch (Ex) Against Small or smaller creatures, bite for 4d6+12 per round or claw for 2d6+6 per round. Crush (Ex) Area 15 ft. by 15 ft.; Small or smaller opponents take 2d8+18 points of bludgeoning damage and must succeed on a DC 29 Reflex save or be pinned. Breath Weapon (Su) 50-ft. cone, once every 1d4 rounds, damage 12d10 fire, Reflex DC 29 half. (Both heads breathe either fire or cold at the same time; when they do, be sure to roll damage for each head.) Breath Weapon (Su) 20-ft. line, once every 1d4 rounds, damage 3d6 cold, Reflex DC 29 half. (Both heads breathe either fire or cold at the same time; when they do, be sure to roll damage for each head.) Multiheaded: Having a redundant head makes a creature more able to survive otherwise lethal attacks. Thus, a vorpal blade would have to remove all heads to have its usual effect. Severing a head requires hitting the creature's neck (same AC as creature) with a slashing weapon and dealing damage equal to the multiheaded creature's original hit point total divided by the original number of heads. (The player must declare an attack against the neck just before making the attack roll.) The severed head dies, and a natural reflex seals the neck shut to prevent further blood loss. The creature can no longer attack with the severed head but takes no other penalties. A severed head cannot regrow naturally. Feats Not Presented in the Player's Handbook or Monster Manual Improved Multiattack (from Draconomicon): The usual -5 (-2 if you have Multiattack) penalty on attack rolls for secondary attacks does not apply to your secondary attacks with natural weapons. The damage bonus for such attacks is still only 1/2 your Strength bonus, if any. Recover Breath (from Draconomicon): You reduce the interval between uses of your breath weapon. You wait 1 round less than usual before breathing again, but always at least 1 round. The feat stacks with the effects of metabreath feats, reducing the total time you must wait to use your breath weapon again by 1 round. Swim-By Attack(from Stormwrack): When swimming, you can take a move action and another standard action (such as an attack) at any point during the move. You cannot take a second move action during a round when you make a swim-by attack.

Cooperative Threat Reduction:
DOD Has Improved Its Management and Internal Controls, but Challenges Remain
GAO-05-329: Published: Jun 30, 2005. Publicly Released: Jun 30, 2005.

Section 3611 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 mandates that GAO assess the Department of Defense's (DOD) internal controls for the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program and their effect on the program's execution. In addressing the mandate, we assessed DOD's management and internal controls over implementing CTR projects since 2003 by using the control standards for the federal government as criteria. In response to the mandate, we focused on those management and internal control areas considered most relevant to CTR project implementation: (1) building a management structure, (2) risk assessments, (3) performance measures, (4) program reviews, (5) communications, and (6) project monitoring. The Congress also mandated that GAO describe the status of DOD's implementation of legislative mandates covering the CTR program.
Through the CTR program, DOD provides assistance to help the former states of the Soviet Union secure and eliminate their weapons of mass destruction. Since 2003, DOD has improved its management and internal controls over the CTR program. Prior to 2003, DOD had problems managing the program and ensuring that the program was meeting its objectives. These inadequacies became apparent in 2003 following two project failures in Russia that cost the CTR program almost $200 million, including the never used liquid rocket fuel disposition facility. Following these incidents, DOD implemented a more structured approach to managing the CTR program. In July 2003, DOD filled vacancies in the office responsible for managing the program, providing a level of leadership and oversight that did not previously exist. Once in place the new leadership made important improvements to the program's internal controls in the areas of organizational structure, risk assessments, performance measures, program reviews, and communication. For example, DOD now assesses and balances risks with project requirements and measures project performance at each phase. DOD also conducts semi-annual meetings to review commitments and responsibilities of CTR-recipient governments and to minimize risk. Although enhancing its internal controls helps mitigate the risks that stem from having to rely on the cooperation of CTR-recipient governments, DOD can never fully eliminate the project risks associated with recipient governments' cooperation. Furthermore, while DOD's enhancements are an improvement over previous internal controls, current mechanisms do not include a separate review of CTR projects upon their completion. As such, DOD lacks a system for evaluating projects upon their completion and applying lessons learned to future projects.

Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should conduct performance reviews upon the completion of CTR projects. Such reviews would provide a mechanism for documenting lessons learned and applying them to future project planning and implementation.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: GAO recommended in June 2005 that the Secretary of Defense conduct performance reviews upon the completion of Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) projects in order to document lessons learned and apply them to future project planning and implementation. At that time, DOD concurred with the recommendation. In meeting with CTR program officials in February 2009, they explained that the "lessons learned" process and evaluation system that the program office implemented to address GAO's recommendation has become a key component of its own Continuous Improvement Process. CTR program efforts to address GAO's recommendation culminated in February 2008 with the roll out of its Lessons Learned database. The database provides specific, relevant, and actionable information and advice to users' needs. Lessons learned input to the database is provided from across the CTR program and is compiled from "after action" reviews, facilitated sessions, or personal observations. All CTR program personnel can access the database to provide their input or access data on lessons learned from other projects. CTR officials provided a demonstration of the Lessons Learned database and provided hard copies of various database screens as well as sample write-ups of actual lessons learned recorded in the system. The officials also provided a copy of a lessons learned conference conducted in April 2008. The CTR officials stressed that the process is ongoing to ensure day-to-day continuous improvement and that the program's workforce is being trained to integrate lessons learned into all projects through use of the database.

Former News of the World Editor Andy Coulson Detained on Perjury Suspicion
UPDATED: The former head of the shuttered paper, which was part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. and has been at the center of the phone hacking scandal, is expected to be questioned about his testimony in a 2010 trial.
LONDON - Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson was detained on suspicion of committing perjury dating back to a 2010 trial in Scotland, in which he testified, Scottish TV network STV reported Wednesday.
Coulson ran the now-shuttered tabloid that was part of the News International U.K. newspaper unit of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. that has been at the center of the phone hacking scandal. He is also a former director of communications for British Prime Minister David Cameron.
Coulson was picked up at his London home by Strathclyde Police officers early Wednesday morning, was later formally arrested and charged before being released from police custody. He is expected to be questioned, STV said.
STV cited a police spokeswoman as saying early in the day: "Officers acting for Strathclyde Police Operation Rubicon detained a 44-year-old man in London this morning…on suspicion of committing perjury at the High Court in Glasgow." But she said it would be "inappropriate" to comment further.
Coulson was a witness in the perjury trial of former Scottish Socialist Party leader Tommy Sheridan in late 2010. Sheridan had been jailed for three years for lying under oath during his defamation process against the News of the World in 2006, in which he was awarded £200,000 ($311,000) in damages.
Coulson last year was arrested for questioning about the phone hacking case and a scandal involving payments to public officials. Earlier this month, he appeared in front of the Leveson Inquiry into media ethics.

Keep loving yourself, and taking care of yourself, no matter what — through the storms, the twists, the turns, and the blocks. Take a moment, breath deep, restore yourself to that sacred place of self-love and self-responsibility. Feel all your feelings. Then let them go. Love yourself until you can hear your heart and what it tells you to do. Love yourself until you find the courage to act on that guidance.
Loving yourself is a powerful tool, a powerful force for change. It can reconnect you to creativity, to universal love, to the best possible flow of events within your life. It can and will reconnect you to life's magic.
There is a trustworthy road through whatever life brings. Loving yourself will help you find it."—

I don't want to be so bold as to suggest that dinosaurs are a sure fire way to get wavering fans back into a show, BUT, dinosaurs sure did keep me interested in Elementary this week.
Joan has been revisiting some of Sherlock's "unsolved" cases and comes across an unusual homicide where a man's home is ransacked and he's murdered in the back yard, but no weapon, motive or murderer ever emerges. In the case photos, Joan zeros in on an unusual stone, which a geologist named Gay helpfully points out is pre-historic. At the time of the initial investigation, Sherlock was struggling with his addiction and was unable to zero in on any helpful details which may have solved the case. With Joan's new discovery and a few scans of this rare rock, a dinosaur fossil is uncovered and Sherlock's passion for the case is piqued. When the thief (a man who goes by Magpie) who got his hands on the fossil turns up dead too, well as Doyle would say, The Game is On.
So Sherlock is back in the U S OF A this weekend. In case you can't take it any more, here's a little something the Baker Street Babes put together to get you pumped up. It's 5 Reasons You Should (STILL) Love Sherlock.
Admittedly, we put this together before the UK premiere and we've all seen the new eps, but no spoilers, I promise.
While the world patiently waited for Sherlock to return, Elementary served as a worthy distraction these last 24 months. There were plenty of reasons to believe this American-dwelling Holmes would never be a worthy comparison to our BBC baby, but over time, I've become increasingly attached to Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu's take on the iconic characters. As the third series of Sherlock returned, I wondered if it would taint my feelings about CBS's efforts. In truth, with new episodes of each series airing, it's never been more evident that these two shows are distinctly their own.
In The Diabolical Kind, it's clear that Moriarty is back in more than one way. Sherlock is writing her letters, which are brooding and full of longing. These correspondences are dangerous, but it's a source of comfort for Holmes. But that's not the only way she's returning. After a man is murdered by a trained assassin and his daughter is kidnapped, Sherlock deduces Moriarty is involved. It becomes clear she is no longer imprisoned in a traditional sense, so Holmes and Watson track her down in an abandoned warehouse where the FBI has been holding her. That seemed a little to easy, though, didn't it?
Here's a few news tidbits from SDCC 2013's Sherlock panel that you may have missed:
Producer Sue Vertue said the team will continue to produce the show as long as Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are interested in doing it. Since Cumberbatch himself essentially commissioned a 4th season already in the press, Vertue has no doubt they will bring the show back beyond the fourth season. In fact, the fourth season paperwork was just penned.
Writer and actor Mark Gatiss says the team would be open to following the actors as they get older, as this is how we know Holmes from the original stories. This means a 50 year old Sherlock could be in our future.
Sherlock stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman delivered a message to the crowd thanking them for their support. However, Cumberbatch also gave a semi-interrupted explanation of how Sherlock pulls off his feat in The Reichenbach Fall. (Explanation starts at 2:26). Writer Mark Gatiss said that this is essentially a correct, albeit highly stilted, explanation of how Sherlock survives.
"We made them audition!" Director Steven Moffat expressed complete shock and delight over the fact that Sherlock stars the two biggest names in Brit-Hollywood crossovers in the moment. However, Cumberbatch and Freeman's mutual rise to fame has actually allowed Moffat to create a better series in his estimation. With long gaps between production, the showrunners are able to really think through the things they'd like to tackle in each episode. In turn, he thinks this model will also contribute to the show's long term vitality, making Gatiss's suggestion of a middle-aged Sherlock all the more likely.
The sneak preview also establishes Mary Watson for the first time. Hopefully we'll get news on who will be playing John Watson's "other best friend."

Yes, it all depends on how the server-side routines are written. Because the two methods [GET and POST] will encode the data differently, the server needs to retrieve it differently -- so you may need to change the server-side scripting. However, as gethan mentioned, the subroutines on your server may have already take that into account and you won't need to change anything. I'd say test it, and if you run into trouble, the folks in our Server-side Scripting forum will be here to help.

Kin's Unnerving Bells and Needle and Bell Trap have been returned to their pre-8/16 balance update effects.
Without doing a complete rework of Kin, changing the reliable nature of her drain is to much of a nerf to her. An attempt to kill two birds with one stone only ended up killing one bird with a boulder.
8/19 Balance Change
Boosts: Kin, Gaara
8/16 Balance Change
Nerfs: Kin (revised)
Boosts: Shizune, Kidoumaru
Reworks: Gaara, Kankuro (revised)
8/07 Balance Change
Rework: Itachi Body Double's FInger Genjutsu
This was changed from stealing chakra from the enemy to just giving chakra to IBD. Why? The effect is happening after the enemy spends chakra but before they get more chakra. If the enemy has no chakra left then there is nothing to drain. This was discovered during testing of the new Shino.
7/14 Balance Changes:
Nerfs: Four-Tails, Kakashi, and Kankuro
Boosts: Gai(S)

Hi all,
As was done in the past for a couple previous characters, I have decided to do more characters by community submission. I will be making a topic in the forums for it shortly which will talk about the process in more detail. Once it is up I desperately beg you to read the guidelines before submitting.
So, in essence, player submitted characters filtered through myself will be the method of character creation here for the forseeable future. I am not sure how long (or how NOT long) this may last, but assuming there are enough viable submissions for characters as they become "doable", I see no reason not to continue with this method.
Be sure to check back for when I make the topic and post the link.
Ok the topic is HERE.
The topic has been moved for evaluation and selection. It will be reinstated after this first round of selections.

Barnstable officials weigh heavy issues at death penalty debate
Written by Heather Wysocki
March 09, 2007
Despite the packed theater, inspired discussion and dramatic performance that preceded it, Sunday's discussion among Barnstable County Sheriff James Cummings, Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O'Keefe and Pax Christi of Massachusetts representative Dr. Patrick Whelan never got too lively.
In reality, it was dead on its feet. Cummings, O'Keefe and Boston pediatrician Whelan gathered at Cape Cod Community College to discuss the death penalty, other types of penal punishment and how they affect Cape Cod.
It was an "intense and thought-provoking experience," said O'Keefe of both the debate and the dramatic reading of Dead Man Walking that inspired it.
The reading was based on the life of Catholic Sister Helen Prejean, who visited the college Monday to discuss her experiences with inmates on death row.
O'Keefe, along with Cummings, discussed the various ways that Barnstable County works with its inmates to rehabilitate them.
Barnstable's house of correction holds inmates for up to about two years, said O'Keefe. However, sentencing does go on in the county's courts that can put inmates into other facilities for life.
Although O'Keefe said, "I do not" think it is morally wrong to execute those on death row, he feels that it is necessary to be "just as certain about prison for 20 years as about executing them."
Cummings, who before becoming Barnstable's sheriff worked with both the DA's office and the state police in Massachusetts, believes that "public safety should be the reason" for the death penalty.
Whelan, who, while in graduate school in Texas, lived in a county famous for having the highest number of executions in the country, disagreed that public safety issues are solved with the death penalty.
"All the data aside, killing somebody is not the way to teach others how not to kill," he said.
At the Barnstable County Correction Facility, the rate of recidivism -- the rate at which inmates return -- is around 65 percent, said O'Keefe. Although most inmates serving for murder offenses stay in facilities for longer periods of time, the rate of return for those that do get out "would stagger you."
In situations like that, said Cummings, he would support the death penalty.
Both O'Keefe and Cummings said they would rather work to change the system before an inmate reaches that point. "We don't spend enough money on prevention and earlier, tougher penalties," said O'Keefe. "If we spent more on the types of kids that third grade teachers could predict Jimmy and I are going to see We ought to be a little more sophisticated about where we spend out dollars."
Although the original basis for the discussion was the death penalty, both the panelists and audience members primarily discussed Cummings's and O'Keefe's idea regarding prevention of crime.
Another major problem, said O'Keefe, is that it is more difficult to fund rehabilitation programs for released inmates than it is to fund programs for schools and children.
Lisa Heller-Boragine, a 4Cs professor and facilitator of the debate, said the former is "not a really sexy topic" to fund.
In addition, "some inmates don't want help," said Cummings. Those that do, however, have resources available through the DA's office and the Corrections Facility, including job placement and training.
Despite varying ideas on the importance and morality of the death penalty, the panelists and audience members agreed that, as O'Keefe said, "It's a human endeavor, crime and punishment It's never going to be perfect."
