The Dawn of the Tiberium Age is a stand-alone Tiberian Sun to Tiberian Dawn (C&C 95/Gold) total conversion which aims to allow people to both play and mod TD, while having all of the benefits of the TS engine. With version 1.10 of DTA the "enhanced mode" was also introduced; you get to pick whether you want to play the classic or enhanced mode when you start the game. The enhanced mode aims to improve/enhance the gameplay you're used to from TD by adding new features (like the XO Powersuit, the "Spawn visceroids" super weapon and naval battles) and refining the game balance (prices, speeds, damage, range, etc.).
DTA 1.12 Release and Relocation of Official Site
In case you missed it, The Dawn of the Tiberium Age version 1.12 was released about a day before New Year's eve and given how busy the days surrounding this date are, I haven't even had time to make a proper news post for it yet and I only barely managed to finish the trailer video in time.
So exactly what are the main changes and additions in DTA v1.12?
First off, Classic mode's balance between vehicle speeds, infantry speeds, weapon firing rates and weapon firing ranges now matches Tiberian Dawn much more accurately and many of these changes have been applied to enhanced mode as well.
This doesn't only make classic mode's gameplay feel more similar to Tiberian Dawn, but these changed unit speeds also make infantry more useful in both classic mode and enhanced mode, because they're relatively much faster now and thus are no longer destined to become red paint on a tank's tracks. All water is animated now (this includes shores, water cliffs, water falls and so on), which can been seen on the old maps you know from version 1.11 and also on the decent number of new maps that have been added in version 1.12.
And since we're on the subject of water already; ships are now easily able to navigate around obstacles without issues (regardless of the distance or number of obstacles between them and their destination) and also even the AI is able to (and will!) use ships now. So if you think you can still safely move your MCV to an isolated island and build up your base there without getting bothered by the AI like before, some AI cruisers will likely come and give you a rough wakeup-call.
Playing DTA online and in skirmish mode is better than ever now, thanks to CnCNet5, the spawner that comes with it and of course the new launcher. You can forget about the Comp Stomp maps and their teleporters that were introduced in DTA 1.11 or having to search the map to find friend's base before you can form an alliance, because you can now select your starting locations and set up teams before the match has even started; you can even form a team with an AI player.
And last but not least, the Red Alert factions have been added as playable sides in Enhanced mode. The Tiberian Dawn factions are of course also still playable in Enhanced mode, which means that you can now for example play with Nod against Soviet or mix it up however you like. Take a look at the trailer video if you haven't already to get a glimpse of what such battles with mixed TD and RA factions can look like...
...or you can of course just download the mod and experience it yourself. To install the mod, you can either download the installer and let it automatically download the mod's latest files and install the mod for you, or you can download the mod's files in a zip package from Mod DB's faster servers and then extract it into an empty folder.
You can view the change log to see a complete list of all additions, changes and fixes in version 1.12 of DTA and also exactly who deserves credit for all of these changes.
With that said, it's also time to announce that DTA's profile at Mod DB will from now on be used as DTA's official website.
Also please use DTA's forums at Project Perfect Mod instead of the forums at this site from now on.
This decision was made to keep resources for DTA as central as possible, so that DTA's players and followers won't be likely to miss out on information or discussions they might have wanted to participate in.
More of DTA's staff members are active at PPM (Project Perfect Mod) than at the forums here and there are also many other experienced modders at PPM, which means that you'll get answers to any technical (and other) questions much quicker there than here.
This site will be kept online for archiving purposes so that old posts can still be viewed whenever necessary.

Vote The Dawn of the Tiberium Age for Mod of the Year!
It's that time of the year again! Previously we haven't specially concentrated on the competition for reaching the Top 100, but our watcher count has been increasing steadily, and we believe we could have a chance to get at least near the Top 100 this time.
2013 Mod of the Year Awards via Mod DB
As you can see, in our preparations for the upcoming release of DTA 1.12 we've also thrown the boring standard ModDB skin away and replaced it with a cool, customized Tiberian Dawn -style theme.
It's been a long time since the last update. My latest news post was 16 months ago, and that's way too long of silence in my opinion. During the time we've mostly posted new maps, and we've also had some breaks where we haven't posted anything for multiple months; maybe some of you have even thought of DTA being dead. Well, that's far from true. In the meanwhile, we've actually made quite a few discoveries about the engine in addition to adding more maps into the game. Implementing these discoveries has taken a bit of time - but we believe they're certainly worth it. You'll see some of those below.
Graphically, one of the more important changes is what you see in the pictures above. That's right, we've converted TD's water animations for the TS engine. That includes not only the basic water animation, but also all other water-related things like water cliffs, shores and rivers. For gameplay, there's a lot of improvements as well. Units with overlapping roles have been tweaked, the AI isn't that insanely difficult on Medium (AKA AI Level 1) anymore offering a much more balanced experience for most players, while the Level 2 AI has again been made stronger providing a very nice challenge for the most experienced players (especially on Comp Stomp -- getting slaughtered together with your friends is much more fun than getting slaughtered alone!). Talking about the AI, I might as well add that the AI is now also able to use ships (click on the image to view it in its usual size):
The AI using ships both for attacking an enemy base (Purple AI, Red AI) and defending its own base (Sky Blue AI)[/center] The teleporter system in Comp Stomp maps has also been replaced with a completely new system, leaving no dependence on the player manually entering their MCV into the teleporter. Instead, there are no teleporters; right in the start of a Comp Stomp game your MCV will automatically fly into your real starting location (engine wise, this is done with some scripting on friendly invisible carryalls). We have also added text triggers for convenience to people who haven't played DTA or Tiberian Sun before and as such don't know the hotkeys. See the image below for a demonstration.
There's also a very large surprise incoming with 1.12 which we won't reveal yet. It has actually taken most of the development time for 1.12, and with the long development time, you can expect it to be something fairly big. I can only say that 1.12 will really extend the game - in an awesome way ;) The release isn't far away anymore. We won't discuss strict release dates, but expect 1.12 to be here soon. In the meanwhile, we will continue posting updates like maps and other content changes until we are ready for unleashing the next major version of DTA. Before that, you can still enjoy the very polished 1.11 which offers plenty of fun and which has been downloaded about 20,000 times as an estimate during its almost two-year long lifetime.
So, what are you waiting for? Visit our ModDB page to help us reach the Top 100, Commander! Remember that you can vote for multiple mods, so voting for us doesn't make you unable to vote for all the other awesome mods out there, too!

Our progress since DTA 1.11
It's been a while since DTA 1.11 has been released since then this site moved from cncxs to PPM after some server issues that couldn't be resolved and 6 updates have been released, including today's (version 1.1117). Here's a global overview of the most important changes that have been made since DTA 1.11:
- Most importantly, two options to improve the performance have been added, of which the most notable one must be AlexB's hack which disables VideoBackBuffer. Without this hack, graphics that are normally allocated in the video RAM first have to be copied to the system RAM before the game is able to use them and this process can slow down the game a little or a lot, depending on your system (for some systems it's even so much that the game becomes unplayable). Of the people who have tested this, the majority was able to notice a significant boost in performance and for a few people the game's performance even went from being so slow it was entirely unplayable, to perfectly playable. There were just a few people who reported that disabling VideoBackBuffer itself made the game unplayable for them however, so for this reason an option to enable VideoBackBuffer again has been added to the launcher (but as mentioned, leaving it disabled is faster for most systems).
- The other option to enhance the performance which was added before that, is a setting to disable the darkening effect on sidebar icons which you see whenever you build a structure. For all systems this slows the game down at least a little bit (for many systems it's barely noticeable however) and for some systems it this was bad enough to almost make the game unplayable. With videoBackBuffer disabled, the slowdown caused by the darkening effect should have become entirely unnoticeable on most systems however, which makes the option to disable the darkening effect unnecessary for most systems, but it's still there for the few very slow systems where lag is still noticeable when building structures and the few systems where disabling VideoBackBuffer caused problems.
Other improvements include that the launcher the now displays how many DTA players are online at CnCNet and will also display this in the bottom right corner of the screen via a text balloon in the bottom right corner of the screen; this way you you'll be able to minimize the game while waiting for other players to come online, while at the same time making other people aware that there's someone waiting to play in the lobby.
The launcher will now also check whether all of the mod's files are present and unmodified (to ensure there won't be any issues when playing online), it'll show the total progress instead of progress per file whenever you install an update (or install DTA from scratch) and it will also tell you the size of the update up front.
The maps that are included with the mod are now located inside of folders instead of in MIX files and although that might seem meaningless to the people to the people who just play the mod, it means that future updates will be much smaller considering only the specific maps that have been added or changed will have to be downloaded then, rather than the whole 20+ MB MIX files that contain the maps. Mind that any custom/downloaded maps still have to be placed in the mod's main folder rather than inside of the Maps folder however.
The map editor now also has an option to disable sounds (although I replaced the map editor's original sounds with something less disturbing, some people were apparently still bothered by them) and there's also 2 new tool scripts; one for disabling building bibs (this is done on some maps where they look bad because of the custom lighting) and one for enabling naval yards for maps.
|Moving onto actual ingame additions,
|Nine new maps have been added: Train-ing Holiday, The Experiment Lab, Frozen Wasteland, Beach, Landing, Field, Dante's Desert, Red Valley, Circle of Death and Hectic Oasis.
You can also choose to disable bases, which basically makes the game mode similar to the Survivor game mode which older versions of DTA used to have.
Have a look at the change log to see all other changes since DTA 1.11.

A New Theater
water cliffs, shores,...
rivers, roads, normal bridges, high bridges,...
other ground types that can be placed on top (I already showed the dirt LAT in an earlier news post),...
trees (converted from the temperate theater),...
and more.
Just like how the snow theater is actually part of the temperate theater, this new theater is likewise part of the desert theater, which allows mappers to get extra creative by mixing two theaters together.
Since this theater is still brand new, there will only be a few maps that use it included with DTA 1.11's initial release (such as j4m3sb0nd's "The Sandbar", shown in in the image above), but more can of course be made post-release.

1.11 Campaign Revealed
The answer has always been and still is, "possibly when we've got time and interest for it". With the current staff we'd probably have the time for it, but at least I don't find converting missions really interesting. However, not having the original C&C95 campaigns doesn't mean that we wouldn't have made our own singleplayer missions and campaigns.
A Nod base gets lighted up with flames by an Ion Cannon strike.
We actually have a campaign in 1.11. It's not a full-length campaign with twenty missions, nor is it the entire "official story" of DTA, but something a bit different and shorter. Looking at what Westwood did with their New Missions in both TD and RA1, I really liked all their special mission ideas, with planes that suddenly drop nukes into my base, dinosaurs eating my infantry and fun surprises like that. I wanted to make my own campaign, which'd also contain special elements and would fit the C&C95/Westwood style.
After months of working we now have something that I'm hoping to be as fun for you as it has been making it. The Toxic Diversion lasts for 4 missions of varying length and objectives, has multiple choices for the player to make during the missions, and contains 4 drastically different ending missions; the one you'll get depends on the choices that you've done on the previous missions.
Although you might see some new, special weaponry and structures that you haven't seen before, The Toxic Diversion is a Classic mode campaign. It's actually aimed to be between the TD and DTA's Enhanced Mode times, so while it's a Classic mode campaign with Classic mode rules it contains some elements from Enhanced mode, such as veterancy and some new units, aswell as some completely unique things that will never see the light of the day in multiplayer in either Classic or Enhanced mode.
While the campaign is relatively short with one playthrough lasting for 4 missions (even though all the choices give it replay value - with 4 different endings we could say that the campaign containts practically 7 different missions), we've tried to make the missions as fun as possible, and also so challenging that if someone is expecting to run through it quickly, that player's aim is going to fail. I of course make use of the TS engine's 3 different difficulty levels so it'll be well beatable even by inexperienced players; they'll just have to start it on Easy. Medium is recommended for most players and Hard for those who are used to special tactics and want a challenge.
With those words, I'm hoping that you'll have a fun experience with the campaign when DTA 1.11 is released.
The Toxic Diversion isn't all about it though; we also have some other single missions in 1.11 (similar to the "New Missions" in C&C95), like a remake of TD's [NOD] Under Siege. More singleplayer maps will also likely follow with updates that we're giving with the Launcher that I introduced two weeks ago.
In addition to our missions, creating your own missions in 1.11 will be much easier. You no longer need to hunt for files like Battle.ini from your possible Tiberian Sun installation and set them up properly for DTA, but instead we'll include those with 1.11 so you only have to add your campaign to the simple list of the Battle.ini file to make it show up ingame. Map progression is a bit more complex to do (it took me and Bittah multiple days (!) to find out how that works while I was making The Toxic Diversion), but our own campaign contains a good example of how it's done, and if you can't figure it out yourself, we're always here to help.

The map editor has an auto-LAT system which automatically places the mentioned transition tiles around ground types you place on the map; this only works when you place the ground type on top of the default temperate or desert clear ground however.
In the image above you can see a dirt LAT placed on top of the lighter sand ground, but since the lighter sand isn't the default desert clear ground, the auto-LAT system won't work for it. This means you'll have to place the transition tiles around this ground type manually.
As you can see in the animation above, I've made marble madness tiles to make it easier to manually place LATs (for when you can't use the auto-LAT system). In case you aren't familiar with what marble madness tiles are, they are what you see when you switch to Framework Mode in the map editor; this is meant to help mappers by switching to graphics with which it's easier to see how to connect certain tiles to one another, meaning it makes it easier to prevent or fix visual map errors.

DTA 1.11 Technical Update
Firstly, let me intoduce myself. If you've also followed us at ModDB, you may have noticed DTA 1.11 screenshots coming not only from Bittah but also from someone named Rampastring. I am (obviously) one of the staff members of DTA, and my task has been creating this Launcher (together with Nyerguds) which I'll tell you more about soon, and I'm also a single- and multiplayer mapper (the 1.10 map "Rivers of Refener" is mine for example, as well as the DTA 1.11 map Tunnel Train-ing), and last but not least I'm the one who is making sure that your Skirmish and Comp Stomp matches in 1.11 will be as painful as possible (aka the AI Coder).
Now, to the more relevant (and technical) stuff:
You have more than likely already seen those screenshots of the new GUI (the menus) posted here by Bittah. So what will happen if for example you run a resolution of 800x600, even though a 1024x720 GUI exists? Well, you won't get the high resolution GUI, but instead you'll see a GUI that fits your resolution (in this case a 800x600 GUI). The game obviously doesn't support switching GUI's by itself, so we had to make something that'll switch the GUI automatically depending on the desired resolution. And so we did.
A very old and obsolete development build of the Launcher.
The Launcher didn't last as a simple resolution-switching tool for long though; after a talk with Bittah we came to the conclusion that instead of making you all wait 2 years for a new version after 1.11's release, we should constantly update the game with new content. Since it'd be annoying for you to get new updates manually every once in a while, the Launcher needed an updater which'd do it for you every time you launched DTA, without bothering you much.
And while we created the updater, why not also add some other functionality, like being able to launch the game directly from the program and at the same time fixing some of Tiberian Sun engine's incompatibility problems with modern systems, like multicore processors? So, soon the Launcher really became what it's named; it's used to launch DTA automatically with required compatibility settings (in a user-friendly way; you don't need to do anything yourself) and it keeps your installation up to date all the time.
Later I added the possibility of downloading music and the C&C95 ingame videos (FMVs) using the Launcher, and I also made it possible to install the most recent version of DTA from scratch when you only have the launcher and none of DTA's other files.
The Launcher as it currently exists, running under Windows XP.
Easy multiplayer:
Then, to the point that many of you should be very interested about; multiplayer. Maybe you've wondered how to play DTA online with your friends or just against random people, and read that it requires unreliable, hard-to-set-up extra stuff like WOL and Hamachi. Well, that's history with 1.11.
After I considered the Launcher finished, I heard about something that required a bit of extra code; we were supposed to use CnCNet v2 for a very user-friendly multiplayer service in 1.11. However, that version of CnCNet was discontinued in favor of a new version 3, and I had to integrate support for the new version. At first writing extra code to replace something that I had already done seemed annoying, but it proved to be very well worth it; playing DTA 1.11 online is now simpler than playing most large commercial games online.
Well, how will we play DTA 1.11 online?
Currently clicking on the "Play on CncNet" button in the Launcher will take you ingame instantly, where you'll just have to click the CnCNet button after choosing to play in Classic or Enhanced mode. However, this system is just temporary as CnCNet is a quickly developing service, and in the future the Play on CnCNet button will be changed so that it'll instead open your web browser and send you to CnCNet's website which serves as a lobby where you can meet other players and arrange games with them. The in-game part of CnCNet multiplayer will remain similar to how it's currently done though.
What you'll see after launching DTA in CnCNet mode and selecting Enhanced.
The second step is as simple as clicking the CnCNet button.
Let's start playing!
And then you can host games, join to games, and play games like you'd usually do on a LAN party. Except that now you don't need to set up a LAN for that. No registering or any of that stuff is needed, you just need to have DTA 1.11 installed and click on a button on a website.
Compared to previous multiplayer methods CnCnet v3 has only one disadvantage; it's a rather fast developing service, and we have to adapt to its changes (which, with our Launcher system, might make the multiplayer unavailable sometimes if I don't have enough free time for making changes to the Launcher at the time of a new CnCNet release). But those changes shouldn't break anything for the most part.
Depending on how popular CnCNet gets, it might be possible for you to be able to play online with other people than just your friends in DTA 1.11 at any time (that's what we're aiming for at least; a constant multiplayer community). If you don't have any friends interested about DTA, CnCNet happily makes finding other players easier with its chat service. Just go to the CnCNet homepage and click on the "Chat/Player Lobby" button. As CnCNet also supports other C&C games, like Red Alert and Tiberian Sun, most of the players there at the moment are likely not interested about playing DTA, but we are hoping to change that with 1.11's release.
So that's about the end of my way-too-long description about the Launcher. Thanks for reading, assuming you really read that all, and even if you didn't, be prepared for seeing non-technical stuff on the next updates.

Graphical User Interface
First of all, Lin Kuei Ominae made a new background for the multiplayer score screen, which he put together with graphics from Tiberian Dawn.
Don't ask me how he managed to end up with such scores in only 12 seconds though
These dialogs obviously won't fit on the screen when using a res of 640x480, but to get around this problem the resolution now has to be selected in the launcher before starting the game and the launcher will then automatically swap the language.dll file (the file that contains the dialogs) with the one that contains the biggest dialogs that fit within the selected resolution. There are 3 different overall dialog sizes; 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x720. So if you select 854x480 for the game resolution, the launcher will swap the language.dll file with one that contains dialogs with a maximum size of 640x480, since those are the biggest available dialogs that fit within 854x480.
Since wide-screen monitors are common nowadays, I made the height is 720 instead of 768 so that it'll also fit when a resolution of 1280x720 is selected.
The launcher that's responsible for swapping the language.dll file was initially made as a setup tool by Nyerguds, but it was later on changed into a launcher with a lot of added functions by Rampastring. Rampastring will tell you more about this himself later on.

CENCIA is pleased to welcome classical guitarist Pepe Romero and pianist Alberto Urroz to our celebration of Spanish arts and culture!
The early part of the last century is regarded as a period of astonishing artistic creativity in Spain, one in which both "art" and "folk" traditions merged, giving way to an amazing number of beautiful literary and musical creations. Virtually all important avant-garde artists of the first half of the twentieth century were influenced by that form of Andalusian folklore known as Flamenco. These include poets and playwrights such as Federico García Lorca and composers such as Manuel de Falla, Isaac Albéniz, and Joaquín Rodrigo, artists whose works will be represented. It is our hope to demonstrate how these artists found in Flamenco some of their strongest sources of inspiration, and show how the modernistic approaches of their creations carry the distinctive flavor of that sophisticated and exceptionally seductive form of art.

If Tony Rezko is to spend 10 ½ years behind bars, does that mean Rod Blagojevich will be looking over the side of a cliff at his Dec. 6 sentencing?
"I'd be surprised if Judge [James] Zagel goes below the bar. The bar was set today," former prosecutor Jeff Cramer said of Rezko's Tuesday sentence. "You'd reasonably have to say 12-15 years," for Blagojevich now.
Former federal prosecutor Sergio Acosta said there's nothing forcing a judge to sentence someone higher in the same scheme to more time in prison. But: "There is a general preference in the law that courts will look at defendants' respective roles in the offense," Acosta said. "The higher the role a defendant plays, the more severe the punishment."
Prosecutors have put Blagojevich's range at 30 years to life, but next week will publicly make a recommendation. Experts previously said the ex-governor is likely looking at 10 to 12 years. Blagojevich's lawyers have said they would ask for probation.

The Colts will have newly-acquired running back Trent Richardson in the lineup against the 49ers on Sunday. Colts head coach Chuck Pagano says he will play Richardson as much as he can on Sunday, according to Kevin Bowen of Colts.com. Indianapolis acquired Richardson for a first-round pick in 2014 from the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday night.
Pagano is excited about the acquisition of Richardson and believes he will fit in well in Indianapolis. "He can do it all," said second-year head coach. "This guy is a rolling ball of butcher knives. He fits our scheme to a T."
The Colts are trying to creating a winning program with young players. "We are trying to build something special here ... this gives you another opportunity to do that," said Pagano. "[The Colts' front office] want[s] to win. Trent wants to win and that's the bottom line."
The Colts travel to San Francisco to face the 49ers on CBS at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Is this the corect video for your headline?
the comparison between the sensitivity of the screen of the HTC EVO 4G with and without a brand screen guard?
I realized a similar behaviour on the M8 a while ago.
It needs to be close to me so the touchscreen recognizes the touch or i need to touch it with more then the finger on the screen.
It was kind of funny to compare this behaviour to the iPhone 3gs :P
Nice to see that it is more ... common
It works quite well if you have a conductive underground (I have metal desk so i was quite surprised when i realized this on a friends wood desk)Meizu M8 SE - FW 0.9.9.18 (dao89 n450) Dualboot LBE A11 Android 2.2

BOSTON (WHDH) -- State Police Sergeant Sean Murphy didn't say much as he arrived at headquarters for a hearing Tuesday. At issue was his decision to release graphic images of surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev the day he was taken into custody in Watertown.
The release of the pictures came from Sgt. Murphy a state police photographer, so incensed by the upcoming cover of Rolling Stone magazine that features what many are describing as a glamorized snapshot of the suspected 19 year old terrorist.
Releasing the pictures landed Sgt. Murphy in hot water for violating department policy. He was relieved of duty for one day, which Mass. State Police stressed was an administrative procedure applied prior to a duty status hearing and unlike a suspension, not a punishment. A member relieved of duty gets his pay for the time period for which he is relieved. Following a status hearing at state police headquarters Tuesday, Murphy was placed on desk duty, where he won't have contact with the public, until an internal investigation is complete. MSP said Sgt. Murphy will continue to be paid his salary and to hold the rank of sergeant.
The 25 year veteran of the force was been placed on desk duty until the investigation was complete.
After the hearing, Sgt. Murphy declined to comment, except to say, "Life is good."
While Sgt. Murphy didn't comment on any of the proceedings, his son did.
Murphy's 19-year-old son, Connor Murphy, said he couldn't be more proud of his father, praising him as a man of integrity and noting his father never tried to hide what he had done.
"If I could be one quarter of a man that he is now, I'll be more than happy with my life," he said.
Col. Timothy Alben, the commander of the state police, said more discipline is conceivable, but he ruled out the possibility that Murphy would be fired.
"I don't see Sgt. Murphy being terminated for this particular set of circumstances," he said.
The Colonel's concern was the integrity of the department, even though everyone there, he says, feels for the marathon bombing victims.
Massachusetts State Police released a statement Tuesday clarifying the details of Sgt. Murphy's disciplinary proceedings. The statement says that on July 18, Sgt. Murphy was informed that he wasthe subject of administrative action and would be relieved of duty for one day. The following day, Friday, July 19, Sgt. Murphy was on a previously scheduled day off and he did not work weekends as his regular schedule as member of the Office of Media Relations, was Monday-Friday. On July 22, Sgt. Murphy served his one-day of relief from duty. Mass. State Police stressed that 'relief of duty' is an administrative procedure applied prior to a duty status hearing and unlike a suspension, is not a punishment.
On July 23, a duty status hearing for Sgt. Murphy was held at General Headquarters after which he was placed on restricted duty and transferred to the Division of Field Services.
As part of the transfer, the department took from Sgt. Murphy the State Police-issued computer, camera, and related equipment that had been assigned to him in his former position of photographer for the department. As stated earlier, during his restricted duty he'll continue to be paid his salary and to hold the rank of sergeant.

Number of ratings 5 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Dean is very demanding. His grading is FAIR; however the assignments are extremely time consuming. If you want to really learn something and take on serious work - he is a teacher that you'd need. It is not a Mickey Mouse type of class where you get an easy B. However, I am glad I took it. My grade was C.
I took this class because the other PUP361 was filled, I should have listen to my fellow PUP classmates and waited! This guy is boring and useless.
I really can't say anything good about this teacher. His grading scale is messed up. Ask other students about this dude before you sign up for his class. Most people I knew had trouble with this guy when it came to the final grade. Overall a low quality teacher.
Provides real world planning projects - good professional learning experience. If you want to be prepared for city planning, this is the class.
This guy does not know how to teach! He is unclear and treats the students with little respect. I would at all cost avoid this person. I can't even call him a teacher. He assigns way too much homework and the only way is his way. Just save yourself some time and avoid this class. No one in my class had any respect for this individual. Just retire!!

By JESSA LEWIS6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - After two bombs went off near the finish line at the Boston Marathon Monday, people in East Tennessee are thinking about the lasting effects of the traumatic event.
"I think it's less for me about security and more about how we are treating each other in a positive, loving way. Because I think when you start talking about security, and kind of this culture of fear, that it actually reinforces sort of a lot of the negative looking at people in this kind of fearful way," said Knoxville resident Chris Crass.
Some are extra grateful for what they have in light of the event.
"[Monday], my friends and I ran just to get out, and we take for granted what we are able to do. It felt good, and then you thought of those people that this had happened to," said runner Tabitha Burris.
While most of the people 6 News spoke with said they weren't doing things much differently as a result, some did say they were going to be more aware of their surroundings."It won't stop me or my family from going out. It just makes me more cautious when I'm out in those places and look around and notice my surroundings and have that in the back of your mind, but hope for the best," Burris explained.
One expert 6 News spoke with says it's normal to be worried or extra cautious after a traumatic event like the bombings.
"A natural thing that will happen is people will be traumatized by the event, they'll be made more nervous or anxious by the event and some folks may indeed be fearful or have trouble sleeping or that sort of thing," explained Ben Harrington, Executive Director of the Mental Health Association of East Tennessee.
Director Harrington says if someone is having trouble sleeping or is nervous or fearful for days or weeks after an event, they should seek professional help.

After finishing a strenous cycle of Liszt Transcendental Etudes, Kholodenko exited stage right and grabbed a banana."I love bananas and I saw the banana on the table and I said, `Why not?'" Kholodenko said as he munched on the banana backstage.Kholodenko played the Liszt etudes one after the other, without applause in between each etude. Upon completing the cycle (which did not include the ninth etude since Kholodenko said it would have made the recital longer than allowed during the comeptition) the audience rose to its feet, roaring with applause."One cycle is played very rarely," said Kholodenko, and was also the only competitor to play the Frank piano quintet during the semifinals. "My target was to play the whole cycle for the audience."On his day off on Tuesday, Kholodenko does not plan to practice piano instead he will take in the Fort Worth sights with his host family."I don't know where we're going but I'm sure it will be cool," Kholodenko said.-Andrea Ahles

Re: chat room
The last time I visited the Chat Room was in December of 2008 (won't go in to the details of why I remember). There were some easily recognized members of the forum on and they were going back and forth making comments that I found to be offensive. I decided that I didn't need to be a part of that, so I left never to return. I don't miss the Chat Room, even a little bit.

Here's some questions/comments I have. As always, if I broach upon a topic that one of you have already have, then I apologize for not giving you props for it….
This past weekend, I went two and one in fantasy football (the loss a butt whooping in my Rumblings league), four and two for plus seventy five in a fake betting league, one and oh in a suicide league, and rank fourth out of nine in a confidence pool. Oh, plus I'm atop the leader board in the Rumblings Pick 'em. Nevertheless, I'd have traded all of that "success" for one particular CB to just...fall...down.
Special Teams had a bad week if you ask me. Bobby April is an angry man I'm betting.
T.O. and Evans need to play better. That's a lot of money spent for five receptions and less than 75 yards. AVP did a nice job with the overall game plan, but going forward he must figure out a way to get those two involved more.
I thought the officials made some terrible calls, but they were fair about it, so I won't complain much here.
Please tell me John McCargo is not going to end up on a milk carton again.
Poz's injury has him listed as being out indefinitely. They say it's not as bad as last time, but what does that mean - that he'll be out for only ten weeks instead of the whole season? When is he supposed to have surgery on it? I'll admit, I don't have good feelings about this. Every time I refresh the Rumblings page, I'm afraid I'll see a new headline, something to the affect "Poz done for season".
[Self editing note - I just heard that Poz had the surgery, and will be out six weeks]
Speaking of Poz, I thought they should inquire about extending his contract. He's got the rest of this year and next. I'm taking that thought back. He's got to stay healthy to get a new contract in my opinion. By the time his third season will be over, he may have only played in about half of his team's games. That's not good enough bang for the buck...
Did Youboty play at all? Why did I not see him? Is that how Byrd saw so much time?
Am I the only one who thinks Buffalo -5 this week is one of the safest picks on board? I don't think much of Tampa Bay at all…
How many plays did Nelson get? Not enough in my opinion. I want to see more of him this week against the Bucs, even if Fine is supposed to be ready.
I got my season tickets in hand the other day. Nice design I guess. The first thing that struck me is why is the opener ticket is double the size of the rest? I don't know why, but I don't like it. The second thing I noticed is that each ticket after the home opener featured one of the "Memorable Moments" in team history. I started reading off the "moments"…Comeback Game, 2nd AFL title, 90 AFC Championship Game, Snapping the losing streak against the Fins, Four Consecutive AFC Championships, and then…"Lights Out?" They featured the SD game from last year? I don't get it. Who fell asleep on that one? You're gonna tell me that in fifty years of pro football, that was a top six "Memorable Moment?" I don't think so…not at all.
Does anyone else agree that what's going on in SF with Crabtree kinda/sorta hurts Eugene Parker's reputation? I hope it does. I hate that guy. The worst part is that if I ever needed an agent for anything, I'd strongly consider him.
Hey - didn't you used to be Josh Reed? What happened to him Monday? If NE was going to take out Evans and T.O., then I thought for sure Reed would have had a stat line along the lines of six or seven for fifty some yards. Nada, zip, zilch. Was he even thrown to?
Would it hurt at all to huddle up every once in awhile? I thought Trent ran it fairly well; I just think it wouldn't hurt to huddle every now and then.
By the way…would anyone of us ever have guessed that Trent would be about the sixth best fantasy QB this week? I'm sure some would've, based only on the contention that he'd be playing from behind for fifty minutes plus. Other than that, I doubt anyone would've picked that to happen.
Sireric and I seemed to have a rough go of it in the Rumblings 2 league. As I mentioned above, I got whooped (my bench scored more than my starting team), but not as bad as he did (190-99). Here's our rosters - please feel free to throw out a trade I can offer him….

I heard of a fantasy league where if you lose, the winner gets to take any one player off of your roster in exchange for one of his. I love that idea, and wonder if it's not too late to implement it in our league. Hint, hint Mr. Commissioner…
Madden 10 for the Wii is garbage. I want my $8.95 rental back, and the four hours of my life that I spent on that piece of poop.
Who gets more time next week - Ellis or Maybin?
And then, Harris or Palmer?
How did Buggs play a half of football at MLB and not get on the stat sheet? You can just fall down on a pile sometimes and get a tackle.
Is it too early to start talking about a Bell extension? Nothing big mind you. Maybe just a year or two…
To the person(s) who did what they did to Leo's house - they will find you. If you were stupid enough to do that, you were probably stupid enough to tell people you did it…and I bet those people talk. And once they do, your penance will probably be a lot harsher than what it would be if you just fessed up. Not to mention, do you really want 53 overly large and athletic men angry at you? To tell the truth, I hope you don't fess up, and your name eventually leaks out, and that frontier justice takes place…
Tailgating starts in four days! Woo-hoo!!! Weather channel says it'll be a good day. In my tailgate, we usually go simple for the first game - dogs, burgers, sausage, etc. Someone will make a dip of some kind; maybe two. But all in all, we keep it simple for the opener.
Go Bills…

Hawthorne High School girls volleyball team ousted in tourney
HAWTHORNE — Hawthorne High School girls volleyball coach Laura Mazzacca felt satisfied after last Wednesday's night match even though her Lady Bears were ousted from the state playoffs.
Coming to Kinnelon on Nov. 14 the 13th-seeded Hawthorne had a tall task against a fifth-seeded Colts team that had been this far in the state playoffs in the past and the Lady Bears were trying to sneak out a win.
Hawthorne was even more handicapped without its top libero, senior Renee Buchanan, who was stuck at home sick with strep throat and bronchitis, for the Group 1 quarterfinal match.
With the Lady Bears shorthanded they could not stop Kinnelon in falling 25-14, 25-19.
"I thought we did a good job playing with them especially in the second game," said Mazzacca whose team finished with a 14-9 record. "Nobody expected us to get here and we came in after the win over Glen Rock."
If Buchanan was on the floor, the Hawthorne head coach believes it would have been a closer match.
"If she was here we would have given them a run," said Mazzacca.
With Buchanan out Mazzacca moved senior Deanna Riffel from opposite to libero, while moving up junior varsity player, Morgan Zimmer, into the starting six.
While both performed well, Hawthorne just could not keep up with the more state playoff savvy Kinnelon squad.
Jessica Chamberlain and Carly Ten Kate led the Lady Bears offense against the Colts with nine digs and six kills, while Hannah Dougan added 10 assists.
Coming into the match against Kinnelon, the goal was to stop middle hitter Caroline Laton, but she was able to muster nine kills and nine digs.
Hawthorne did have some momentum coming into the game against the Colts as the Lady Bears had stunned fourth-seeded and rival Glen Rock, 16-25, 27-25, 25-20, in the second round the previous week.
Hawthorne did give the Colts a scare in the second game. The Bears sliced a double-digit point lead, 21-8, to five, 24-19.
Mazzacca helped out by calling a timeout in the second game that seemed to ignite Hawthorne.
"I told them to just keep working hard and that no matter what the outcome that I am proud of you," said Mazzacca. "If you don't make mistakes you put the pressure on them to make plays."
But there would be no come-from-behind drive as the Colts closed out Hawthorne.

Police say they now know who has been making 'Purge' posters, and will be confronting them soon.
By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – A disabled Albany man needs your help to pay for a service dog that will help him when he's in danger.
Stephen Muncus began having seizures in 1994. He's now on medication to help prevent them but still has two or three each month.
He's working with an organization called Paws with a Cause to try to get a service dog. They train assistance dogs for people with disabilities, but that training isn't cheap. It costs about $10,000.
A dog can be trained to push life-alerts, get the phone during an emergency, and comfort a person during and after a seizure.
"It will help me because the seizure dog will help me just in case, I have a seizure dog, it will stay beside me until the ambulance gets there," said Muncus.
Applebee's is hosting a fundraiser on August third for Muncus. 15% of your meal from that day will be donated to his cause, if you bring in a flyer specifying the event.

Busch Gardens has welcomed its newest resident: an adorable aardvark born Tuesday, Feb. 6. The healthy baby is expected to grow to more than 120 lbs. within its first year of life.
Aardvarks are solitary by nature, and aardvark births are not common. The animal care team at Busch Gardens is very proud to announce this birth as the third baby born to parents "Izzy" and "Friz." The baby's sister "Adazee" was born on March 26 last year and its older brother "Zawadi" will be two years old on April 10.
The baby, whose sex is unknown at this time, is receiving primary care from its mother and additional care from members of the animal care team.

This is probably a subject that's been broached before, but in light of CP3's near trade demand and the changing landscape of the NBA, does anybody think Granger himself could make a trade demand in the coming years? If the Pacers don't start winning fast, will he become fed up with the continued mediocrity and ask out?
On the surface it doesn't seem all that possible considering Granger will probably never hold that kind of sway/power in the NBA. He also doesn't seem to have that kind of personality. But CP3 didn't seem to have that type of personality either, and yet, he was just on the brink. Amazing what a franchise's lack of direction can do...or maybe amazing what a shady marketing agency/agent can do (I'm talking to you 'Bron 'Bron).
The follow-up question to the possibility of a Granger trade demand is would that actually be a good thing for the franchise? I think you could argue the Pacers overvalue Granger, and a demand on his part might be the only way they get the assets to put the franchise on a brighter path.
Personally, I'd have a difficult time with it. Even if part me knows that trading Granger could change the future of the franchise, I'd be hesitant. You see, I know this isn't a popular point of view, but winning isn't the only thing that matters to me when rooting for the Pacers. Despite the mediocrity of the last 4-5 seasons, I've still made some connections with many of the players on the team.
Take Brandon Rush for example. Brandon Rush is the ultimate enigma, right? His mind is made of porcelain; his left hand on the dribble is as awkward as Canada with a military. Intensity is as foreign to Rush as a layup is to JOB. And yet, I still want him. His defensive potential is paramount; he has a smooth stroke from three, and he's only been in the league two seasons. If he figures it out, I want it to be while he's a member of the Pacers.
This type of reluctance is exactly why fans are only armchair GMs, and why fans often offer the most ridiculous trade proposals, right? The question is: Is it really such a terrible thing to be a blinded optimist from time to time? Is it better than being the surly fan who no matter what happens will always be looking for someone on whom they can unload their written and verbal venom? Does optimism equal a better quality of life as a fan?
I don't know if I have the answer to any of those questions, but I do know if Granger is ever moved part of my Pacers loyalty will be pricked. If moving him means 10 years of 45+ win seasons and playoff appearances, then how quickly will I forget Danny Granger as a member of the blue and gold? Ah...the ultimate carousel that is fandom....

i victrola: old meets new
The iVictrola is a masterpiece of steam punk art by NYC designer Matt Richmond. Richmond has mixed the modern day iPod dock with a 20th century metal Magnavox horn. His combo of modern technology and vintage talking machine belongs in my living room! Ipod sound on the iVictrola carries through a hole in the wooden base that carries up the horn and fills up your room with melodic harmonies.

That is really COOL! I think this is the coolest iPod dock I've ever seen. Love it,
I want one.
This is so lovely.
I feel emotional looking at it.
Love to hear it!
No doubt in my mind,Has got to be "BEST" thought out device for scrap material I've seen.

At this very moment I am sitting in an office in central Christchurch, dreaming of what I could (Should!) be doing. Although currently office-bound workwise, my background is conservation science, ecological monitoring, and ecological monitoring and restoration. I am experienced in native plant propagation, pest plant control, plant nursery management, and working with volunteers.
Do you have a project you are not sure where to start with? Do you need a community nursery designed, implemented or managed? Or do you know of an individual or organisation which might need stuff done?
If I can get three days a week paid (would consider accomodation, food, etc as well as mainstream payment methods!) I will do a 4th day for free, and quit my job! Otherwise I am restricted to doing weekend volunteer work. I am also happy to relocate.
I would love to quit this job and start my next adventure- this feels like the year for it!
If you think you may have something for me, please contact me on here, at firstname.lastname@example.com or on 021 029 56455.
Thank you all!

Hi Serra
I don't know about any jobs unfortunately, but I wish you lots of luck! Just going by your e-mail address I wonder though if you are the person to ask about TM and PVR protection on plants. I've come across this a number of times now and wonder what it actually means and if I should avoid these plants.
Many thanks, Hanna
Hi Hanna, Yep, I'm your girl!
A plant with a grant of pvr has been protected as intellectual property by the owner. This gives the owner of the variety control and protection of the commercialisation of the variety. The ownership is of the physical expression of characteristics of the plant; genetics of the plant cannot be owned.
When you see a plant in a garden centre with pvr on it's label, it just means that royalties are being paid to the owner, and that it is not legal to commercially propagate material, or sell material of that variety, without the owner's permission.
A trademark is a bit fuzzier- it protects the name of the plant, but does not protect against sale of the material under a different name. Trade marks often cover several varieties of plants, being sold as a 'line'- "FlowerCarpet" Roses are a good example. In this case the individual varieties are pvred, with legal denominations, but are additionally trademarked.
So whether you want to avoid these plants depends on what you are using them for! I would avoid the native varieties which are pvred if doing native restoration work, as their origins cannot be vouched for- we have Cordylines out there which were bred in China and Australia- not so good eco sourcing wise!! -But if you are after ornamentals in a more general garden setting, no problem as far as I can see. Food crops I cannot vouch for- I am only involved in Ornamental testing.
If you are propagating, it is all good if it is for yourself.
Phew! Three years ago I knew none of this!! It is really not my passion, despite being interesting in its own way. I never meant to get into this area- I have little to no interest in the commercial horticultural industry. I think my skills and experience should be put to better use elsewhere- not at a desk in the Ministry of Economic Development (crazy!)
I hope this is helpful. I also recommend going here for more information, or email me if you have more specific questions :)
Hi Serra,
Thanks for that, that's by far the best explanation I've had! I got the impression nursery staff don't necessarily know what these terms mean any more than the average customer :-) I guess it's fair enough really, sounds a lot like copyright protection for something like a book or piece of music, even though it feels just a little bit funny to have it apply to a living thing. Anyway, this is probably as much as I want to know, I can see why this might not be the most fulfilling area to work in...
Your impressions are probably correct- there is a distinct lack of knowledge about PVR- the nursery growers are pretty good, but they don't pass that along. It doesn't help that there are three of us doing this job in the country- we are like a secret government department!
Yeah, I have reservations about owning living things too- although if I'd spent ten years developing something I would probably want credit too! It is an interesting job- just not for me :)
Oh, and forgot to say. My cv and references are available if required.

The Commercial Passenger Vehicles (CPV) Branch is responsible for developing and implementing policies and standards within legislative frameworks for the CPV industry. The CPV Branch also advises the Government and Minister on industry issues.
The Branch regulates the CPV industry and processes operator accreditations, industry driver licensing, administers the NT Taxi Subsidy and Lift Incentive Schemes, and monitors compliance and the management of complex complaints.
From 1 February 2013, all drivers of commercial passenger vehicles (as defined in the Commercial Passenger (Road) Transport Act) are exempt from rules 265 (3) and 266 (1) of the Australian Road Rules for the purpose of driving passenger vehicles to carry passengers for hire or reward.
The exemption is subject to the following conditions:
(a) if there is an approved child restraint available in a vehicle it must be used in accordance with rule 266 (2), 266 (2A) and 266 (2B) of the Australian Road Rules; and
(b) if a vehicle has 2 or more rows of seats, a passenger who is under 4 years old must not travel in the front row of seats; and
(c) if a vehicle has 2 or more rows of seats a passenger who is 4 years old or older, but is less than 7 years old, must not travel in the front row of seats unless all of the other seats in the row or rows behind the front row are occupied by passengers who are also under 7 year old.
See further exemptions to the Australian Road Rules.
The Minister for Transport, the Hon Adam Giles MLA has declared the extension of the taxi and minibus areas within Alice Springs and Gove. These boundary extensions will take effect on and from 1 February 2013.
Alice Springs Taxi and Minibus Areas
The new declared area is the area within the municipal boundary of Alice Springs but excluding the land that is both south of Colonel Rose Drive and east of the Stuart Highway.
Gove Taxi and Minibus Areas
The new declared area is the area within a 16 km radius of the Post Office at Nhulunbuy.
Catching a taxi home will be made easier with more cabs to be allowed to operate on Territory roads.
Currently there is a cap of 143 licences for Darwin and 36 licences for Alice Springs.
The introduction of additional taxis licences will be staggered with ten licences to be made available immediately to accommodate extra demand around Christmas.
This initiative also links with the Territory Government's decision to increase subsidies for wheelchair taxi users.
Commercial Vehicle Licence Fee Changes from 1 January 2013
As of 1 January 2013, there will be a 10% increase to all Commercial Vehicle Licence fees.

A Philharmonic Orchestra for Suffolk
It's not everyday an orchestra is born. But for the people of Suffolk they can now claim their very own Philharmonic Orchestra.
Around 700 people attended the inaugural concert at St Edmundsbury Cathedral, with a repertoire including Elgar, Vaughan Williams and Britten.
The orchestra has been nearly a year in the making, and was the brainchild of local conductor Leslie Olive:
– Leslie Olive, Founding Conductor, Suffolk Philharmonic Orchestra
I've lived in Suffolk for ten years, which I know for Suffolk people isnothing, but I love it...this is the most wonderful, wonderful county… it just has to have a professional orchestra.
Their first concert consisted of 30 players, with 11 teenagers from the county getting to join the professionals on stage as part of the orchestra's commitment to education:
– Kerry Blofield, 14 year old violinist
It was a bit scary at first but as soon as I started playing it was just brilliant, just being surrounded by all those professional players is great.
Hearing all the others play like that – I'd like to play like that one day. It's definitely going to inspire me to practice more!"
Education and community are key elements to the orchestra. For the inaugural concert, music projects were launched in eight schools.
Leslie's ambition is for the orchestra to hold seven major concerts, as well as smaller performances in towns and villages, every year. That's expected to cost nearly £250,000.
So far the orchestra have raised more than £20,000 through donations and grants from groups like the Arts Council England as well as local businesses – some of whom have sponsored a player directly:
– Sarah Westley, cellist
I feel quite proud to have someone who is looking out for me – it's quite nice!"
The inaugural performance included solos from Thomas Gould, Benjamin Hulett and Martin Owen.

Project Hybrid: Dell's transformation begins
Dell now hints with muscularity around its future data center plans. We give you Project Hybrid. Company executives, most notably CEO Michael Dell, have spent the last few weeks positing the notion that Dell will revamp its server and storage hardware. On Thursday, Dell added the faintest touch of concrete detail to these …
Not enough...
As a recent convert to the Blade "hype", aside from their "proprietary nature" I personally believe they are the biggest leap forward yet in the server market and as such I will never regret the decision.
We invited IBM, HP and DELL to kit us out, but at the end of the day only IBM could meet our requirements - the reason? simply the networking flexibility, IBM offers a vast array of different switches.
Until Dell address this aspect of their chassis, they're are losing out.
Tier 1 support for Virtualization
<< Parker, however, seems to mean that no Tier 1 server seller has tied virtualization to servers in the mysterious manner that Dell plans.>>
Aside from doing some REAL ENGINEERING work (I DOUBT it) there is not much Dell can likely add to the Virtualization mix that has not already been done..
I believe HP has a whole suite of software to support VMware, MS Virtual Server and even Xen :
I'm sure IBM touts something similar. Sun will of course steer you toward "containers" on Solaris.
Maybe Dell should wait until THEY enter the realm of Tier 1 server vendors before they make such statements.....

Our Science – Datta Website
Siddhartha A.K. Datta, Ph.D.
The main determinant in retroviral assembly is the Gag polyprotein. When expressed in cells, it is sufficient for the formation of virus-like particles (VLPs). In VLPs, Gag is an elongated molecule, arranged radially. We have analyzed the properties of recombinant HIV-1 Gag protein in some detail. The protein was found to exist in monomer-dimer equilibrium, using a previously described interface in the C-terminal domain of the capsid protein. A monomeric mutant of Gag was made, and characterized by a number of hydrodynamic and biophysical methods. The results, along with modelling studies, suggest that the molecule, in contrast to its structure in VLPs, adopts compact conformation(s) with the N- and C- termini in close proximity. In the presence of nucleic acid, the recombinant protein spontaneously assembles into VLPs. These VLPs are smaller than authentic VLPs produced in cells. However addition of inositol phosphates, co-factors which resemble lipid head groups, can correct for this defect. Interestingly, tight binding to hexakis inositol phosphate was found to depend on, and mapped to, both extremities of the protein. Since Gag molecules are extended rods in immature virus particles, they must undergo a drastic conformational change during particle assembly. Collaborative studies using neutron reflectivity have now identified conditions under which Gag can extend. This occurs when the matrix domain binds lipids and the nucleocapsid domain binds nucleic acid simultaneously.
The mechanism by which nucleic acid triggers particle assembly by the Gag protein is not known. We recently found that a very short region of Gag, termed 'SP1', undergoes a conformational change when it is at high concentration. We proposed that this region 'senses' the local Gag concentration, and that the increased Gag concentration resulting from cooperative binding to nucleic acid would thus lead to a change in Gag conformation, exposing new interfaces required for particle assembly. This hypothesis would explain the contribution of nucleic acid to particle assembly. Current studies are devoted to testing this hypothesis and exploring its implications.
