Associated Press
The Associated Press is the essential global news network, delivering accurate, insightful news from every corner of the world, 24 hours a day. Since its founding in 1846, AP has been the first to report many of history's most important moments, and every day, AP journalists, photographers and videographers file news from the front lines of the world's biggest stories.
AP's reporting, photography, audio and video are published and broadcast by the world's leading newspapers, TV channels, apps, radio stations, websites and magazines—in fact, over half the world's population sees AP news content on any given day.
As a leader in the field of journalism, AP fights for freedom of the press and the public's right to know. Its reporters take great risks to file in-depth stories from countries where the press is otherwise restrained, and in the U.S., AP aggressively uses the Freedom of Information Act to advocate for transparency and accountability in government.
With more experience reporting and delivering news than any other agency, a well-earned reputation for independence and accuracy, and a fierce commitment to the people's right to know, AP is the definitive source for trusted news.
Reds to Shut Bailey Down
The Reds plan to transfer right-hander Homer Bailey to the 60-day disabled list today, ending his chances of pitching again this season. Bailey hurt his right elbow and went on the 15-day disabled list August 16th. The Reds initially expected to have him back in September. The Reds travel to Baltimore tonight on ESPN Cambridge 107.9 FM, AM 1270. First pitch is at 7:05.
Meyer Feeling Somewhat Relieved
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Urban Meyer was not very happy with his fifth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes at halftime on Saturday. They trailed Navy 7-6, hadn't done much on offense and weren't really dominating on defense. Then things turned around. Now, the third-year Buckeyes coach says he's feeling better about his young team, which won 34-17 in their opener. Up next is a big on Saturday night game at Ohio Stadium against Virginia Tech.

Backpacker Magazine – August 2008
Scramble up class III peaks and cross late summer snowfields on this strenuous but straightforward trip through Montana's big-mountain country.
Exit Strategy
>> Clean up The West Glacier KOA has a swimming pool, twice-weekly wildlife slideshows, and hot tubs for overtaxed thighs. Oh, and showers are $5. (800) 562-3313; westglacierkoa.com
>> Pig out East entrance: Park Café and Grocery in St. Mary serves possibly the best Razzleberry pie in the country (406-732-4482; parkcafe.us). West entrance: Tupelo Grille in Whitefish has spicy gumbo and a shelf of gourmet tequilas (406-862-6136; tupelogrille.com).
>> Best Dayhike: Highline Trail to Grinnell Glacier Overlook
This 13.8-mile highlight reel begins on a wildlife- and vista-rich traverse from Logan Pass along the Garden Wall, and it's always a solid bet for first-time visitors. Start early to see more animals and fewer people. Seven miles in, huff up a steep mile-long spur trail to the top of the knife-edged overlook for aerial views down to Upper Grinnell Lake and its shrinking–yet still impressive–glacier. Returning to the Highline Trail, continue a mile to the historic Granite Park Chalet and then plunge down to Going-to-the-Sun Road.
>> Try something new Tackle nine frothing rapids in a two-person ducky on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. You'll drop 15 miles along the Nyack Coal Creek wilderness area, where parts of The River Wild were filmed. Better yet, you're in a ducky, so you're closer to the water than in a big raft–and you don't have to know how to roll. Glacier Raft Company, (800) 235-6781; glacierraftco.com
Beat the Crowds
>> Sneak In Pick a trailhead in the south or east, and you'll find less traffic and easier permits. Check trailheads along US 2 on the southern boundary, with convenient campgrounds like St. Mary, Two Medicine, Cut Bank, Marias Pass, and Essex.
>> Start Early Find more solitude and see more wildlife by setting off at dawn on Going-to-the-Sun Road (nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/shuttles.htm).You're a Tourist, Now Act Like One

Gunsight Pass, August 24-26, 2011: We were lucky enough walk in to the backcountry office and get a trail permit for this hike in spite of the massive avalanche on Fullisade Mtn that had wiped out part of the trail. We had the recommended ice axe and crampons and were glad we did - this late in the season, a steep snowfield between Gunsight Lake and the pass was almost as hard as ice, and might well have been the last glissade you ever took if you couldn�t self-arrest. No matter when you go, monitor the trail conditions before you go, talk to the rangers, and be prepared. Oh yeah � it was spectacular, and we had almost the entire trip to ourselves!
Just back from Glacier 7/23/11- many higher trails and backcountry camps still closed due to snow so forcing lots of hikers to camp at lower level sites. Get your permits early and be flexible. Hiked and camped at Kintla Lake and Upper Kintla Lake - beautiful. Snowed in the mountains above us one night. Saw black bear on the trail and at camp. Beautiful flowers.
Going to Sun Road opened LATEST ever last week July 12. Did Loop Trail to Granite Chalet (all up hill.) Last mile over snow. Coming down saw 3 Griz on ridge to east. Great flowers. Saw several deer close up.
Did the Pegan Pass Trail part way (four hours in) and it was over snow (July 14)about 95% of the way. Most snow ever seen at Glacier. Saw goats and two rams west of creek just starting out.
Did short Apikuni Falls hike and it was worth it. Don't let mile+ up fool you. Up hill. Lots of snow around falls. Be sure and safely climb on and see pool at base of falls.
Did hike at Bowman Lake area. Nice ride up to this NW area but hike was not worth it.
As of July 15 rangers said Highline Trail likely would NOT be open this summer at all. Too much snow.
Swiftcurrent Trail was nice, but just too many folks first couple miles. Great views and flowers and even snow for last snowcone before heading back to Georgia.
Avoid Avalanche Lake Trail unless you head out EARLY. Every body and his brother hikes that trail mid morning on.
In fact suggest early start on all trails in Glacier. Great cabins to stay at in Coram just on Highway 2 7 miles from park (west side). Peaceful Escapes by a store. $80 a night and brand new with kitchenettes even. Eat nearby at Glacier Grill. Great food and service.
I was there on the CDT project last summer and can't wait to return. The mountains at sunset are too beautiful to describe.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Save Animals and Children from Antifreeze Poisoning
Antifreeze is sweet: animals...and sometimes children...are attracted to this common, but deadly, fluid. A simple bittering agent, denatonium benzoate would make this sweet,bright colored substance taste..yuck, and thousands of animals lives could be saved every year. Hundreds of children could be prevented from visiting emergency rooms. The cost minimal...just pennies per gallon. A small price to pay to save a life! Please help me get a bill introduced and passed into a law by signing this petition. I am eleven years old and lost my beloved golden retriever Sam and my faithful companion Jessie to intentional antifreeze poison. Two wonderful animals within days of one another. Please help me prevent other animals from suffering this horrible death. Please consider using your name instead of being anonymous this will help me with presenting the petition for consideration of a bill.

The NOX wrappers have been re-enabled for release 8.0, and now have python interfaces much closer to the C++ version than before. The major changes to NOX that caused it to be disabled for release 7.0 were a switch to using Teuchos::ParameterList objects rather than NOX::Parameter::List objects, and extensive use of Teuchos::RCP to facilitate better memory management.
These changes are now incorporated into PyTrilinos.NOX. Python versions of C++ methods that expect Teuchos::ParameterList arguments accept either Teuchos.ParameterList objects or python dictionaries.
Since python objects are already reference counted, the Teuchos::RCP layer is hidden from python users. Python versions of C++ methods that accept Teuchos::RCP<object> arguments accept raw object arguments in python.
The following NOX namespaces are suported in python:
NOX NOX.Abstract NOX.Epetra NOX.Epetra.Interface NOX.Solver NOX.StatusTest
The only NOX Interface class that has a python wrapper is the Epetra interface. As with the C++ version of NOX, you define a nonlinear problem by declaring a python class that inherits from NOX.Epetra.Interface.Required. Optionally, your class may also inherit from NOX.Epetra.Interface.Jacobian and/or NOX.Epetra.Interface.Preconditioner.
Your constructor must call the constructors of its NOX.Epetra.Interface base classes:
class MyProblem(NOX.Epetra.Interface.Required): def __init__(self): NOX.Epetra.Interface.Required.__init__(self)
This is necessary because the underlying callback mechanism needs to be properly initialized. The nonlinear function for your class is implemented by defining a computeF() method:
def computeF(self, x, F, flag): "Required implementation of computeF() method" ...
Arguments x and F are passed from the underlying C++ code as Epetra_Vector objects and then converted to numpy-hybrid Epetra.Vector objects when they are passed into your python computeF() function. Therefore, you can use the numpy.ndarray interface on these arguments, such as the shape attribute, or slice indexing.
The flag argument is an integer that NOX uses to inform computeF() why it is being called. You can use this flag to alter how computeF() behaves. See the C++ NOX documentation for details.
We are defining a somewhat complicated python-to-C++-to-python callback scheme here. Unfortunately, error-handling in such an environment is not as rubust as in a single-language environment. Specifically, if your computeF() (accidentally) raises a python exception, all you may see is:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Swig::DirectorMethodException' Abort trap
For this reason, it is a good idea to wrap your computations in a try block:
class MyProblem(NOX.Epetra.Interface.Required): def __init__(self): NOX.Epetra.Interface.Required.__init__(self) def computeF(self, x, F, flag): "Required implementation of computeF() method" try: F[:] = nonlinear_func(x) # Whatever this may be... except Exception, e: print "Python exception raised in MyProblem.computeF:" print e return False return True
This will print the python exception if one is raised, and tells NOX that the computation failed. Remember to return a boolean indicating success or failure of the computeF() method.
NOX needs to be able to compute the result of the Jacobian of F(x) on a given vector from the same space as x. The NOX.Epetra.Interface.Required class and computeF() method are sufficient to estimate this product if you are willing to use the NOX.Epetra.FiniteDifference class. If you want to use an algebraic preconditioner based on an approximation to the Jacobian, you will want to use map coloring to greatly improve the efficiency, specifically the NOX.Epetra.FiniteDifferenceColoring class. See exNOX_1Dfem.py in the example directory of the PyTrilinos package for an example of this type of implementation.
You solve your problem by first creating an instance of your MyProblem class and an Epetra.Vector solution (using some appropriate constructor):
problem = MyProblem() soln = Epetra.Vector(...)
Since we do not inherit from Jacobian or Preconditioner, we need to define a matrix-free linear system for NOX to use:
mf = NOX.Epetra.MatrixFree({ }, problem, soln) fdc = NOX.Epetra.FiniteDifferenceColoring({ }, { }, soln, problem.getGraph()) linSys = NOX.Epetra.LinearSystemAztecOO({ }, { }, mf, mf, fdc, fdc, soln)
Note that these calls assume that your MyProblem class defines a getGraph() method that returns an Epetra.CrsGraph that defines the sparsity/coupling of the nonlinear problem. Also, the empty python dictionaries result in default parameter specifications. Now we can create a NOX.Epetra.Group and a NOX.Solver.Manager:
group = NOX.Epetra.Group({ }, problem, soln, linSys) solver = NOX.Solver.Manager(group, statusTest, { })
Here we assume statusTest is a properly constructed NOX.StatusTest object. Now that everything is specified, we can solve the problem with:
status = solver.solve()
Simple, no?

A poor start by Paul Maholm and a six-run deficit were not enough to stop the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, as Chipper Jones's walk-off home run completed the six-run comeback to stop the Braves' losing streak at three and salvage the final game in a three-game set against the Philadelphia Phillies.
After Maholm gave up seven runs and six hits in two-plus innings pitched, the Braves were looking at a 7-1 deficit with Phillies starter Cole Hamels cruising thorough his first five innings, giving up just an RBI double to Reed Johnson in the second inning.
In the sixth, the Braves began to break through, scoring two runs on another base knock from Johnson, who drove in two more with a single to center field.
With Hamels out of the game, the Braves were unable to get to the Phillies bullpen until the ninth inning, when they scored five runs on the strength of a bases-loaded Martin Prado double to drive in two and then the three-run blast from Jones to drive in the game-winning run.

very good mower for our hilly 2 lot yard
La Vernia, TX

Easy to setup, no complicated assembly required. The Gold series Briggs & Stratton engine starts very easily. The no prime feature on the engine is very convenient and works well. I would recommend this mower to a friend.

I was looking for an affordable mower that was easy for me to use. The sales associate I spoke with was very helpful, and the mower I purchased works great. It's easy to start, stays running through thick spots, and is easy to maneuver in my hilly backyard. I also purchased a weed whacker and a 3 year warranty on the mower with spending more than I had planned thanks to surprise rewards points. I'm very happy with my purchase and my experience at Sears.
Grafton, WV

I was pleased that it was ready to use right out of the box; just an adjustment of the handle. I have never owned a mower that started as easily as this one; I hope that special feature and convenience continues through the life of the machine. The large rear wheels makes it easier to tilt the mower back to make the turns at the corners of the yard. The Briggs & Stratton engine has been my favorite since my first experience with a power in my early teens 60 years ago.

I purchased this lawn mower online, and it was ready for me to pick up in less than 1 hour. When I got the mower, it was easy to assemble with just a few simple tools it and it does a great job mowing the lawn. It is a simple lawnmower to operate, and that is all that I need. I like to buy name brand items so that I can easily get parts if I need them. Thank you for the ease of the purchase and pickup time. When I went to the store, all I had to do was show my receipt and the pickup was just as quick. I will definitely do more purchasing online to save time and the hassle of searching for what I want in the stores.

I have only used this mower three times since purchasing it two weeks ago, and it has performed very well so far. It requires no priming or choking, and it is very easy to adjust the cutting height. I will need to use it for a few months in order to provide a more detailed review.

This mower is just fantastic. It only took two pulls to start on the very first time. No priming. The next time I used it, it started on first pull. This mower has the easiest height adjustment, that I have ever used. I would recommend this mower to anyone.

The Oklahoma St. Cowboys at least waited for everybody to digest the news that the Oklahoma Sooners are exploring their options elsewhere to announce that they're doing the same. You can go ahead and figure they'll attempt to accompany Oklahoma to the Pac-12 (or SEC!) if that ends up being the move,
Keeping Okie State for the sake of keeping Okie State isn't mission critical to the Big 12, but losing both Oklahoma schools would essentially make the conference nothing but Texas and, um, Robert Griffin III, and he really doesn't have all that much eligibility left. Kansas, just keep playing basketball and somebody will come by to collect you.
You'll note it's only the Big 12 schools who could actually tempt another power conference that are putting out statements like this. These comments, along with BYU's, could be very good markers for the next round of realignment.

Winthrop Ames' ears must have been burning on May 24.
Who was Winthrop Ames? The man who built the Little Theatre — the Helen Hayes Theatre, to you moderns — that's who. What was May 24? The day the current owners of Broadway's smallest house, Martin Markinson and Jeffrey Tick, decided to throw a party to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the venue on West 44th Street. The Helen Hayes is actually one-hundred-years-and-two-months old, if we're being exact. It was opened on March 12, 1912, by Ames, a Harvard-educated scion of an aristocratic New England family who aimed to buck Broadway's commercial ways by building a theatre dedicated to intimate plays. (He also built the nearby Booth, and was a playwright and director.) He named the 299-seat structure, appropriately enough, the Little Theatre.
|photo by Joseph Marzullo/WENN
The two present owners marked the occasion with a ceremony in the auditorium, followed by a lunch at Sardi's, which sits next door.
Martinson and Tick are an unusual species among Broadway theatre owners — unlike the Shuberts, Nederlanders and Jujamcyns, they possess a single house. Martinson told the crowd how both James Nederlander, Sr. and the Shuberts' Bernard B. Jacobs told him he couldn't make a go of it with only one house. He ignored their advice, and has now owned the theatre longer than Ames did.
"Ames wanted noncommercial plays here to elevate the level of show on Broadway," joked Tick, surrounded by the set of the long-running '80s-rock musical Rock of Ages. "And now we have a stripper pole on stage and the ability to serve Jell-O and tequila shots in the auditorium." He then named a number of the many productions that have played the Hayes. "There have been open engagements. There have been limited engagements. There have been open engagements that became limited engagements."
Harvey Fierstein, whose play Torch Song Trilogy played a long run at the Hayes, hosted the event. Introducing him, Martinson recalled, "Jeffrey's father and I got very, very lucky. We stumbled across a playwright and actor who had a play called Torch Song Trilogy and he brought it to this theatre. It ran three years. And that is really what put this theatre on the map."Continued...

To call Jagex an odd developer, would be an understatement. They're the largest developer in the UK, but many gamers haven't heard of them. In the eleven years they've been around, they've worked on just one notable game - RuneScape - which was released before they existed as a company. And they're about to sign up their 200,000,000th user account, which must be more than any other game. We caught up with them to find out how the game was made, how they've changed it over the years, and how you keep working on the same game for over ten years.
Hello, you're on PCGamesN. We're a new site that combines original journalism, user submissions and the best headlines from across the web. Feel free to comment or follow us on our PCGamesN Twitter feed for regular updates.
This is the first in three part series, looking at Runescape and the company behind it, Jagex. The next two parts are about the present and future of Runescape.
In the 90s, Andrew Gower was bored. He wanted to play games - he loved playing games - but he couldn't afford to buy any. So he decided to start making them instead. Mark Ogilvie, the current Head of Content and Lead Designer on RuneScape, explains more. "A lot of the games that Andrew made originally were games that he read about and wanted to play, but didn't have enough money to buy. So, he saw Lemmings at a friend's house and wrote a game called Flea Circus, just like Lemmings." All through his school years, this lack of readies fed Andrew's creativity.
By the time Andrew was at Cambridge he was a fully-fledged computer science student, with a sideline in game design; which meant he just wanted to play games, rather than do any work. Most of all he loved the rare online roleplaying games but he hit a snag. Ogilvie explains; "whatever library he was at, he wanted to be able to log on and play a game. His main aim was to write something that was easily downloadable and that he could play straight away. The idea of a mobile boot file was quite rare back then; the other things on the markets were things like NeoPets and text-based RPGs."
This was Gower's big idea. By accident or design, by making the game accessible for himself, he had made it accessible for everyone - students and schoolchildren in particular, who didn't normally own their own computers, could play the game for short periods without having to install anything other than a small plug-in. At the time, this was a huge advantage.
The accessibility was continued by Andrew's brother Paul, who gave the game a theme - an accessible medieval fantasy world. "Both of them had lived and breathed traditional tabletop and board games from a young age, games like Sorcerer's Cave." says Ogilvie. "Paul brought that theme to the game." A lot of the creativity, particularly the map of Gielinor, was based on the products Paul had experimented with as a child. This openness about sources also meant that the game was open about new content. "As long as you had a strong backbone to the product, you could explore all sorts of different angles, genre or modes of storytelling." says Ogilvie. The game became more about making entertaining quests and content, than about sticking to some canon theme, and throughout 2001 it became more and more popular.
Andrew was producing games for other websites when he met Constant Tedder, a key figure in the creation of Jagex. The Gowers had run into a problem, Ogilvie explains; "they'd realised that the dotcom bubble had burst and that they weren't going to get the money that they needed to run the servers from straight advertising." Tedder helped them introduce the members' version of the game and brought his business nous to the new company, Jagex, founded at the end of 2001.
The minimal monthly fee bought players minor extras; a couple of new skills, including herblore, and specific pieces of quest story content. It also allowed Jagex to hire staff to help develop the game, and their first 'office; a room barely larger than a broom cupboard in the St John's Innovation Centre in Cambridge. It was a gamble, but one that paid off immediately; enough people signed up to make the company immediately profitable, over 5000 subscribers in the first week and 1,000,000 accounts in the first year.
The concept that distinguished Jagex from the industry at this time was the fact that they were doing weekly content updates. "Rather than change the foundations of game, we were layering more stuff on." says Ogilvie. Where many contemporary MMOs still balk at the concept of monthly updates, the Jagex team produced significant content - new quests, dungeons, mini-games and skills - on a weekly basis. "The rate at we produced content back in the day was just crazy." says Ogilvie, who'd joined Jagex by this point. "A RuneScape quest is different from most MMOs anyway, it's more like Mass Effect."
By hiring staff and letting them explore the stuff they enjoyed, Jagex kept them creative. What kept them fast was the simplicity of getting content into the game. RuneScape wasn't a complicated game anyway - and the backend allowed the developers to rapidly prototype content so that it worked within the umbrella of RuneScape. "It's the most frequently updated game of all time" says Adam Tuckwell, RuneScape's PR manager. "That's a Guinness World Record." It's one of several the company holds. Nowadays, they still produce lots of content, but with their much larger team, they can be working on each piece for three or four months, and as many as 25 content updates and 20 technical updates are in the pipe at once.
RuneScape 2, developed during 2003 and released around April 2004 (just before World of Warcraft), moved to the game into 3D. The team was around 40-50 people at this time. It was a brand new 3D engine that Andrew had been working on for other ideas he'd been thinking of exploring. "We were very afraid of change." says Ogilvie "so we gave everyone an option; they could migrate all their characters and items over to RuneScape 2, or keep them in RuneScape classic." Most players moved over to the new game, which was renamed RuneScape. "We had thought about calling it RuneScape 3D." says Ogilvie "Other games use huge updates that redefine the game, or an expansion pack might have a huge name, but we don't do that because ours are so frequent. We've had a hell of lot of updates that have been bigger in terms of size and effort than RuneScape 2, like the Dungeoneering update or the upcoming Combat update." By March 2006, they'd released over 100 quest updates and 2007 saw the launch of the game in Germany.
By 2008, the game was again looking tired, so the team bolted-on a new high detail mode, to coincide with the French language launch. "It allowed us to run HD graphics at a much higher level than otherwise, with the same FPS rates, but we still allow people to use the tiny little letterbox. A hefty amount of players still play in the limited window mode, as they find it more efficient."
By 2010, the team mooted opening the creation tools up to the community, but backed down several months later, though Ogilvie is still thinking about it. "It wasn't viable at the time, but we're always looking at it. One of the things we allowed players to do in the Clan update last year was to create their own battlefields, custom maps to battle other clans in. It was an exploratory punt to see if our user base is really interested in doing that kind of thing. As a company, we'd love to give our users access to the development suite. I'm always putting tools into the game allowing players to come up with their own games - but it's a huge amount of development effort."
2010's Dungeoneering was Ogilvie's pet update, drawn from his love of games like Advanced Hero Quest, and his days working for Games Workshop and TSR. "That's the kind of game I grew up on, and made me realise I could be a designer... So many times in an MMO, you log in and look at all your kit and your bank, and ask yourself 'what should I do now?' Particularly, as you get older and time-starved, and only have a couple of hours to play, most of which you spend working out what to do." Dungeoneering introduced snack-sized dungeons for up to five players, introducing the classic RPG group of a wizard, warrior and rogue. It also required you to craft new equipment at each level and randomly generates layouts and enemies depending on the skills and numbers of your exploratory party, meaning that players actually got to use all the skills that they'd spend years developing.
Meanwhile, the Gowers and Tedder sold their shares and left the company in 2010. The company was now approaching 500 employees and it seems they preferred to work in smaller groups. Andrew now runs his own company, Fen Research, working on the next generation of his games; he's yet to reveal anything. (We did approach him for a contribution to this feature, but he didn't respond.)
The Clan Citadels update that Ogilvie referred earlier to came in 2011 and allowed players to create homes and citadels in the game. "At the end of the day, MMOs are meant to be social products. A lot of players in the early days played RuneScape like a glorified chat channel. Like MSN, but they just happened to be killing skeletons and chopping down trees at the same time. Over the years we forgot those roots; the more core, intense gameplay we came up with, the less people felt able to sit back and chat." The clan citadels is a huge environment that players can personalise, invite friends to and create battlefields, as well as diversified chat channels.
Here, in 2012, Classic, the original version of the game, is still played by some subscribers. It has a few thousand people who prefer the nostalgic feel, though it's blocked off to new users. Ironically, the Jagex team are struggling to keep it going because they have so few developers left who remember how it actually works. Meanwhile, RuneScape is still going, slowly growing its content year by year, and Jagex is trying to find its way to showing its not a one-trick pony. With a first trick as spectacular as this, that's going to be hard to do.
This is the first in three part series, looking at Runescape and the company behind it, Jagex. The next two parts are about the present and future of Runescape.

I played Runescape for a time, as I'm sure many people have. Ah, my level 72 warrior with a dragon sword and full rune armour pays testament to the largest time investment I've ever put in a game. Since then, I've never really got involved with MMOs to anywhere near that extent. So young... so naive.
Runescape has been one of my childhood games. I remember those days coming back from school and rushing on to the computer just to get those extra attack or defense levels. Runescape has formed many memories in my life. I would have to say props to you all at the Jagex department, many people would argue and say that you guys are ruining the game. I would say you guys are making the game that was already amazing into something of another level. Runescape will never be a game you will ever leave you'll just keep coming back because of all the new mind-blowing content that is released. Keep up the good work.
Fellow Runescaper x100 Pandaz
As a Runescape player I must say this game is amazing. The combat, the structure, the balance, and the PvP are all amazing. I'm acutally loving the new graphics and the new Combat System looks like it's gonna be great. From a fellow pure -Lumia 900
200m accts is a lie a bot is not a real acct, jagex is letting them in 24/7 and counting them towards their 200m mark, and if they are counting the 7.2 million the last bot fail took out and the 9000 accts that were being deleted every hour as stated by jagex, ....demand the real numbers
as for the rest of the updates kudos to them, just sad that bots are ruining the entire gaming experience

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - LSU is again increasing the cost to park in many areas on campus for football game days and also reserving more parking for season ticket holders to buy.
The Advocate reports parking prices are going up by nearly 90 percent in one area.
The affected regions on campus are parking lots west of Alex Box Stadium, at the site of the old Alex Box, by Thomas Boyd Hall parking and the previously handicapped parking east of the Maddox Fieldhouse.
Season ticket holders were recently notified they have until March 31 to reserve parking passes for the new areas for the 2012 season only. The costs range from $75 to $100 per game for car parking and $250 to $500 per game for recreational vehicle parking.

Teens are digital natives. They've never known life without cell phones or the Internet. For them, engaging in online and digital dating is a normal, every day thing.
"So, when we are talking about participating in sexting it is something that they are seeing as a norm," said Melissa McClain with Akron Children's Hospital.
While the word itself was only added to the dictionary this summer, sexting has been around for a number of years and it's becoming more prevalent among adults and teens. According to a study in JAMA Pediatrics, more than a quarter of all teens have sent a nude photo of themselves and roughly half of all teens have been asked to send a racy photo.
"It can get very serious if a young person is feeling pressured to send a picture of themselves because now they are at a place where maybe their partner is saying, 'Well, if you don't I have these three other people that will send me a picture and I don't need to waste my time with you.'. And, that now has moved into an abusive measure," said McClain.
The pressure to send nude photos isn't the only type of abuse. In fact, digital dating abuse is when a person uses a cell phone or the Internet to name call, manipulate, stalk, harass or intimidate their significant other.
"Here is another way someone who is a victim, here is another way that they can be harassed," said Malinda Gavins with Compass Family and Community Services.
"Now that there is access to cell phones 24 hours a day, it can be difficult for a young person to feel like they have a sanctuary from that abuse," said McClain.
Even when people aren't pressured into sending personal images, the pictures later can be used against them if the relationship goes south. Some people's most personal photos have been posted on websites dedicated to getting revenge on a exes.
"You need to be careful what you transmit even if it's verbal, pictures because once you press that send button it is totally out of your control," said Gavins.
If your children have cell phones, don't assume they're sexting. Give them reasons not to sext and tell them it's illegal in most states.
If you fall victim to digital dating abuse, save your messages. They can be used in court. Experts warn digital dating abuse can be a precursor to physical abuse.

Gods & Mobsters
Eight years ago, a former Whitey Bulger henchman joined a well-to-do Beacon Hill church, where he quickly ingratiated himself with a group of influential congregants. But as allegations about the ex-con piled up, some members began to wonder: Just how reformed was Eddie MacKenzie?
She rejected the proposals, but MacKenzie soon made another offer: to find her son. Charles "Chip" McCain had mysteriously disappeared in 1991 while boating in the Caribbean. Though most people suspected he had fallen victim to an accident, von Bober harbored suspicions that McCain had been abducted. MacKenzie, she said, claimed he'd been a special-forces commando while in the Army, and offered to help. All he needed was roughly $150,000 to fund a search-and-rescue mission. Von Bober gave him the money, but soon after, MacKenzie was back, empty-handed. Von Bober said he told her that the mission had failed, and that two of his fellow rescuers had been killed.
A short time after that, von Bober's 4.5-carat diamond ring disappeared from her apartment, she told the Globe. After von Bober informed MacKenzie about the missing ring, he promised to use his contacts to find it. He did. When von Bober went to a jewelry appraiser, however, she was told that the diamond had been replaced. The ring, once valued at more than $200,000, was now worthless. She went to the police.
As the case neared its 2004 trial date, MacKenzie hashed out a plea agreement with the Suffolk County District Attorney's office that once again allowed him to avoid jail time, though he did agree to pay von Bober $82,000 (she died in 2007).
When Church on the Hill members asked MacKenzie about the incident, he reportedly shrugged off their concerns, saying the allegations were merely the sexual fantasies of an aging woman.
DESPITE HIS LEGAL TROUBLES, MacKenzie proved himself to be a capable recruiter of new congregants. Within mere months of joining, he had persuaded roughly 20 other people to become members, a huge boost to a church that had been in decline for decades.
Some of those newcomers were MacKenzie's own family members. His brother Ronald, an ex-con, later became the church's janitor — a job for which he was given use of one of several church-owned vehicles. Ronald's wife also joined, and became church president as well as a member of its board of trustees.
But the influx of newcomers caused resentment among some longtime members, who suspected the possibility of college scholarships was the real reason for their interest. "Many of the old-timers just stopped going to church because of what was going on," said one elderly congregant.
But such feelings didn't dim MacKenzie's star in the eyes of Ellis, and he quickly moved up the ranks. In 2004, less than two years after coming to the church, MacKenzie became treasurer of Bostonview Corporation, the church's real estate arm. The position gave him a pivotal role in the church's financial decisions. Trouble soon followed. According to an affidavit by Thomas Kennedy later filed in court, MacKenzie bragged about forging checks but "that there was nothing else that they could get him on." (MacKenzie denies the allegation.)

Norton chief reminds Palm Beach of 'the one that got away'by Jan Sjostrom
New Norton Director Hope Alswang playfully threatens to counter some of the back-patting likely to accompany Palm Beach's centennial celebration next year.
"I'm going to choose my most spectacular Ralph Norton picture and put it in the Great Hall with a huge label saying 'Palm Beach, this is the one that got away,"" she says.
Museum founder Norton's pictures include some of the most prized in the collection, including Claude Monet's Gardens of the Villa Moreno, Bordighera and Paul Gauguin's Christ in the Garden of Olives.
Back in 1939 Norton offered to give his collection to The Society of the Four Arts. He also volunteered to build a gallery to house it and provide an endowment to support it. In return, Norton asked the Society to pay off its mortgage, acquire a site for the gallery and raise $5,000 in working capital. When the Society failed to meet Norton's March 1940 deadline for raising the money, the idea died.
West Palm Beach might be indebted to then Society president Daniel McCarthy for the museum's ending up there. McCarthy suggested the alternative to Norton.

Public Safety improvements proposed in Bluffs budget
The proposed budget for the city of Scottsbluff the next fiscal year includes funding for an extra school resource officer and another firefighter.
City Manager Rick Kuckkahn says employing a second school resource officer is something the Scottsbluff school district feels they need for security reasons.
The officer would be based at the High School but also have a presence at the Middle School.
The additional firefighter would allow for three equal five man shifts, and provide for some efficiencies in scheduling and code enforcement.
Kuckkahn says utility rates will remain stable with a phasing in of the recycling fee into the sanitation rate as citizens obtain single-stream recycling containers.
Kuckkahn says the budget proposes to make improvements to pipes in the outdoor Splash pool as the city negotiates a new contract with the school district for outdoor pool use. They would also like to simply pay a fee for services used at the indoor pool.

Quote from: LetTheRightLensIn link=topic=16081.
They haven't improved DR for years while everyone else has improved it by many stops and they've slowly made the CFA more and more color blind under daylight conditions over the years.
Maybe not when using the DXo scores, in practice I've found the 5Dmkii to be significantly better than mki, the 6D better than the mkii and so on; the DXo scores are similar. Maybe some of this is to do with the more gradual clipping to high and low lights, I'm not sure, but they have definitely been getting better.
Well actually they do not all measure the same on DxO. The 5D measures a full stop worse at ISO100. And the 6D measures a little bit better at ISO100 than the 5D2 plus it has less pattern noise in deep shadows so it feels more manipulable real world and it does have a bit better DR than the 5D3 no doubt, but none of them are any better or even as good, other than the 6D, which is merely as good, as the old 1Ds3 from years back and that one isn't even close to any of the best cameras for ISO100 DR on the market for the last number of years, even some P&S, and not talking big ones likes Sony R1 but little pocket things, have better DR scores at their lowest ISO these days. All these cameras have linear capture. Canon DR slowly got slightly worse after the 1Ds3 and now has gotten back to that old level again. Other cameras have gotten 2-3+ stops better while all Canon did is manage to crawl BACK UP to where they had been back then to begin with (although they do manage it now in a camera vastly less expensive than the 1Ds3 at least).
(Not that it was the topic, but at high ISO they did improve DR some. 5D3 is somewhat better than the 5D2 and the 1DX and 6D are definitely better still, quite solidly better than all the older Canon models, and at the very top with cams like D4.)
Anyway I've said enough on DR in this thread. Back to the high MP talk? Bayer 75MP for great detail and reach and superb oversampling? 3-layer 25MP for full color per pixel? If the latter can it pull it off without compromising DR (since those types of designs in the past have tended to struggle a bit with SNR and real lot with DR from what I hear)?
