MOUNT VERNON, Ind. – A woman, her young daughter and a teenage cousin were killed early Friday when fire swept through a house in Mount Vernon, authorities said.
All three were found dead after the fire broke out about 12:30 a.m., Mount Vernon Fire Chief Wes Dixon said. Five other people escaped the house, and two of them were taken to a hospital, Dixon told WFIE-TV and the Evansville Courier & Press.
The Posey County coroner identified those killed as 27-year-old Amanda Robb, her 5-year-old daughter, Aubrey Robb, and 15-year-old Bailey Robb.
Dixon said he didn't immediately know whether everyone inside the house was related.
Firefighters reported that flames were coming from the roof by the time they arrived at the two-story house in the 6,500-person Ohio River city about 20 miles west of Evansville.
Witness Larry Schakel said he saw firefighters bring two children who appeared to be fine from the back of the house as flames shot from the structure.
"The parents were hollering there were still kids in the house," Schakel told WFIE-TV. "One firefighter went through the front area of the house, busted through the glass and started shooting water through."
The cause of the fire wasn't immediately known. The Courier & Press reported a state fire marshal's office investigator was at the scene.

About Plague Inc for PC

More info on Plague Inc for PC
Each game starts out simply: you select and name one of seven different plague types. Each plague opportunity starts out as a simple disease that you need to evolve in order to become a plague. In the beginning, you get to choose the country that the disease attacks first. And that is where the intelligence behind the simulation starts to take root.
There are three difficulty levels in the game that describe the basic lifestyle choices that the majority of human beings make every day: how often we wash our hands, the work ethics of our medical professionals, and how we treat the sick and dying. It is much harder to spread any type of disease when everyone is compulsive about sanitation, we imprison those that have even the slightest symptoms of being ill, and have a dedicated society of medical geniuses that do nothing but work all the time.
Tied to the country of origin, how a disease spreads also has an impact on how the game plays out in Plague Inc for PC. If you choose a disease that spreads through human contact, you will want to pick a highly populated country of frequent travelers. You will even see little planes and boats traveling from port to port as you play the game. If instead it is to spread by infecting animals and insects first, the you will want to pick a country that has a good climate for them to exist. Since you choose your country before you start to evolve your plague, it's a good idea to make an early plan right from the start.
It is very interesting and can be a very good distraction from work. Enjoy on Android, iOS and even Plague Inc for PC now !

The Memphis (Tenn.) Area Transit Authority (MATA) will offer discount fares on all modes of transportation the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, Nov.27. All fixed-route bus fares, trolley fares and MATAplus fares will be 25 cents. No transfers will be issued, but zone fares will apply.
The day after Thanksgiving is the year's biggest shopping day — also known as Black Friday — is notorious for crowded stores and even more crowded parking lots and streets.
"This year has been difficult for people across the tri-state area," said William Hudson, Jr., president/GM of MATA. "We wanted to offer a discount fare day as a thank you to our current riders and as a way to help people keep a little extra change in their pockets for holiday shopping. No matter whether you are going shopping on Friday, or to visit a friend, you can let MATA take care of your transportation needs."
MATA will run its Saturday schedule on the Friday and Saturday after the holiday. Many MATA routes travel right to or right along some of the most popular shopping destinations in Memphis.
"It is our hope that some people who would normally use their cars over the holiday will instead hop on MATA and experience the convenience of not fighting traffic and parking lots," added Alison Burton, director of marketing and customer service for MATA. "MATA is a convenient, clean and inexpensive way to get to your shopping destination."

First and foremost, I have nothing against legal immigration as long as it is not EN MASSE and WITHIN ASSIMILABLE NUMBERS.
After all, this country is largely built on legal immigration. This country is one of the most diverse societies we have in this modern world, and is a TRULY WONDERFUL PLACE, but one thing I do not tolerate is the illegal alien invasion of this country. I am one who does not lump immigrants with illegal aliens. Illegal aliens are just that; illegal. They cut in front of those who had and have been waiting for sometimes years to obtain legal citizenship and those who have slaved for the American Dream. An immigrant on the other hand is a person who came here in this great country legally and had to wait their turn and get in line. These people came for freedom, not to freeload like ILLEGAL ALIENS DO TODAY! Immigrants,like those who came through Ellis Island were screened for diseases like tuberculosis, polio, and the like, as well as a background check. Illegal aliens do no have that today, and many diseases that we previously had under control, like tuberculosis, are now becoming rampant as they turn our country into the third world.
Those who come here legally and respect my country with an intent to learn our language, culture, and the rules of our society are like a brother or sister to me. It shows a desire on their behalf to dissolve their ties to their old country in order to become one of us. Therefore, I as a God-fearing born again Christian have no prejudice against immigrants regardless of their race, but have utmost contempt for those who break our immigration laws and those who have no intention of becoming a part of our great nation, or who insist that we become them at the expense of our sovereignty, customs, health care, taxpayer money, natural resources, and the like.
As a whole, I really see no prejudice against immigrants here, since we are all a nation of immigrants. I have no sympathy for illegal aliens though. If we cannot invade their countries and put up our flag above theirs, then why should we be allowing foreigners to do us that way? We are one nation called the USA, with one set of rules. If you are an immigrant, fine, but come here legally the way your fellow ancestors did!

Courses accepted for transfer must be equivalent to those offered at the College in terms of nature, content, level and number of credits earned. A minimum course grade of C (2.0) is required for transfer credit. It is strongly suggested that prior to requesting transfer credit that a student discuss the desired course with an advisor. Transfer credits are made at the discretion of the Dean of Academic Affairs.
Students who wish to receive transfer credit for ENG 1010 (passed with a "C" or better) and who score below 90 (scaled score) on the sentence skills test, must successfully complete HRE 0800. At the end of HRE 0800, the Coordinator of HCOP will administer the writing sample assessment, which will be evaluated by an English faculty member. If the student is deemed proficient, transfer credit will be awarded.
No transfer credit for science courses is awarded to students enrolled in the nursing or radiation therapy programs. "Credit by examination" will be awarded for ANA 1010, ANA 1120, and MIC 2010 (if applicable) to students in nursing and radiation therapy, when the following criteria are met:
All students must complete a minimum of 45 credits at the College, regardless of the number of transfer credits awarded.

The Super Bowl is the Greatest Show on Earth!
This year's Super Bowl will be watched by a worldwide audience of approximately 200,000,000 people. Nothing else in the world seems to be as important as this game. While it is being played, there will likely be little if any traffic, and almost no crime.
The setup seems to be perfect; the Baltimore Ravens from the East Coast will compete against the San Francisco 49ers from the West Coast. At this moment, there does not seem to be any major worldwide crisis. In addition, the game will be played in a lull between Hurricanes and Tornadoes. It will be played in the New Orleans Superdome, so the playing conditions will be predictably perfect.
The Ravens and the 49ers are both excellent teams, and unbelievably, each is coached by a Harbaugh. The chances of that happening are one in a zillion. Each team has enough storylines to overwhelm any Hollywood Movie Maker.
Let's start with the Ravens. They are a great team, but they are somewhat lacking in the glamour department. Their biggest star is an injured 37-year-old linebacker, who has announced his first retirement. His name is Ray Lewis, and he is the glue that holds his team together. He really motivates them before and during the games. I think that one of the reasons that they play so hard is that they are all afraid of him. I know that I would be. Their quarterback Joe Flacco is much better than advertised, and he has led his team into the Playoffs in each his first five years in the NFL. One of their big assets is Ray Rice, a tough running back from Rutgers. He never gets tired, and he has avoided any significant injuries. The team is well-balanced, offensively and defensively, so they should give a good account of themselves.
The 49ers, on the other hand, have football's most exciting new star on their team. His name is Colin Kaepernick, and he may have come from some unknown planet. At the beginning of the year, he was riding the bench, and very few people knew anything about him. Then, seven games before the end of the season; he got his first start. To say that he was sensational would be an understatement. The world, and his opponents, had never seen anything like him. He is about 6'4" tall, and he weighs 220 pounds. He can run faster than any other quarterback, and it takes him only three steps to accelerate to full speed. When he is moving at warp speed, his opponents appear to be stuck in molasses.
In addition to being big and fast, he has an arm like a cannon with a laser to guide the ball. To make things worse for his opponents, he seems to be as comfortable on the field, as a shark is in the ocean. He is analytical, cool and unflappable. The fans in the San Francisco area have gone absolutely nuts over him. I was in the Bay Area Sunday before last. I went to a restaurant to have breakfast, and they had the 'Kaepernick Scramble' on the Menu. Nearly everyone is wearing some item made by the 49ers. It may be a Jersey, a Cap, Gloves, Pants, Shoes; or all of the above. It is clear that they have lost their hearts to the team.
I am predicting that the 49ers will win the Super Bowl. I certainly hope that I am right. However, if I am wrong, then I suggest that they close all the bridges for a period of at least 24 hours.
While it is not what they set out to do, the Lakers have become a reality show. Their fans never know what they're going to get from them. The beginning of their present problem is Andrew Bynum. They signed the young phenom out of high school, and by this time they had hoped that he would have become a major star. It was a reasonable approach, since no one could have projected his knee injuries, and his perpetual state of immaturity. The team was stuck with him, and as bad as things were, they could only get worse. So, in their desperation, they traded him, and they received Dwight Howard. They were hoping that he would be "The Answer", but now they are not so sure. He does not seem to know what he wants to do, or where he wants to do it.
Their new coach Mike D'Antoni appears to be wedded to a fast-break system. This is the equivalent of the military assigning a Cavalry Officer to the Infantry. His troops simply cannot run that fast, even if they wanted to. A better approach, in my opinion, would be to evaluate his personnel, and then to devise a plan that best utilizes their talents. Regrettably, for the coach, there is no one style that fits every situation.
Tiger Woods won again in La Jolla. I am happy for him, but I am not the big Fan that I used to be. I know that this does not bother him, but it is the way that I feel.

The opposition The Germans played a patient game at Old Trafford, allowing United to come at them before picking their moment to win possession. When they did, they threw men forward in large numbers, counter-attacking at pace and using the left flank to good effect. Unfortunately for Leverkusen, they proved their own worst enemy after equalising shortly after half-time: both United's second and third goals could easily have been prevented with better goalkeeping/defending.
Move of the match The move for United's fourth goal was brilliant. After substitute Ashley Young had bombed down the left and found Rooney darting forward through the middle, the striker nudged the ball sideways for Valencia to blast a low shot past the helpless Bernd Leno in the Leverkusen goal.
In the stands German fans have a reputation for being loyal and loud and Leverkusen's travelling supporters didn't disappoint, despite the fact not all their allocation was taken up. They sung throughout the match, playing their part in helping to make this occasion memorable. Meanwhile, United fans' support for summer signing Marouane Fellaini continued in the stands, with plenty of black wigs spotted in the crowd. Sir Alex once again made an appearance in the directors' box.

The Hex 2.0 Original Chair is the lightest Crazy Creek camp chair ever, using comfortable 1/2 in. Hexagonal-cored foam. Rolls up compactly.
|Item #:
|1.31 lb / 0.59 kg
|250 lb / 113.4 kg
|210D coated ripstop nylon/8mm EVA
great to strap on the pack, rolls small and built sturdy
Took the Hexalite chair on a backpacking trip, recently, replacing a large older Crazy Creek. It was appreciably lighter and much easier to roll and attach to the pack. But it is significantly less comfortable than the old style, due to less stiff back supports and thinner padding.
for the price, I find this chair to be ideal for camping. It is light, easy to set up, sturdy and comfortable.
I just carried this chair through the 100-mile wilderness which is part of the AT. The extra pound and a half in my pack was well worth it. It was great to sit down after a long day of hiking. Quick to dry and really comfy! I consider it my most essential non-essential item.

This paper presents an ultrasonic piezoceramic sandwich transducer (UPST), utilised for ultrasonic field generation in water and cavitational effect achievement. This device will be used to produce enlargement of the bubbles, initiated by the incident shock wave on the calculus in the lithotripsy process. The piezoceramic sandwich transducer powered by a function/pulse generator type IWATSU SG-4511 converts the electrical signal in mechanical vibrations, which are propagated in water. A PZT disc sensor converts the underwater waves in electrical signals, displayed by LeCroy 9310 AM oscilloscope. The purpose was to realise an ultrasonic piezoceramic sandwich transducer with low resonance frequency, tuneable energy and broad bandwidth. The UPST transducer, integrated to an ESWL electromagnetic lithotripter, yields enhancement of the cavitation effects, utilised in the comminution of kidney stones.

Teton County Jobless Rate Plummets
Unemployment in Teton County took a precipitous drop during June as to be expected as the summer tourist season got into full swing. According to the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, the jobless rate dropped from 6.4% in May to3.9% in June which was also more than one percent lower than June last year. That placed Teton County among the top three counties in the state for finding a job. The lowest unemployment was in Sublette County with 3.3% idled, followed by Converse County at 3.6%. Despite declines in counties like Teton, the state's unemployment rate remained unchanged from May to June, but that's still nearly one percent below the 2012 rate and well below the national rate of 7.6%.

I love breakfast.
I love pizza.
And so when the New York Times ran an article that included a recipe for something called "Breakfast Pizza" from the Big Sur Bakery cookbook, well, let's just say they had me at hello. Yes, that IS an egg you see in the middle of that pizza in the picture. There's also bacon, and mozzarella cheese, and chopped parsley and scallions, all nestled onto a scrumptious and easy to make pizza crust. I've reprinted the recipe below the way it appeared in the paper, but I have to be honest and say I don't own a pizza peel, or a pizza stone, or anything else with the word pizza in the title, with the exception of my beloved Oxo pizza cutter, which I use to cut pizza, brownies, pie crust and anything else that needs to be cut in a straight line. So for this pizza, I cooked it on a garden variety cookie sheet and it came out just fine, so if you don't have all that fancy pizza stuff, don't let it stop you from making this scrumptious pizza. (How many times can you use the word "pizza" in one innocent paragragh? Um…a lot?)
Let me be very clear…this still won't stop me from eating slices of cold leftover pizza for breakfast whenever I get the chance…but this is a great option for making pizza specifically for the breakfast table. Or dinner. Or lunch. You get my drift…
Pizza. Pizza. Pizza.

A 33-year old sentenced on two Class IIIA Felony counts Owen Adams had pled no contest to two counts of sexual assault of a child. A Class 1B Felony count of first degree sexual assault of a child was dismissed as part of a plea agreement. Adams, who was extradited back to Nebraska in June of this year from California, was named on arrest warrants last year after a lengthy Plattsmouth Police Department investigation. Owens was implicated in the sexual assaults of a then 8-year-old child and a then 10-year-old child when he lived in Plattsmouth in 2008. Owens has remained in Cass County Jail since his return to this state. His bond was $250,000.
The agreement on sentencing was that the prosecution and defense would jointly recommend that any prison sentences on each count be served consecutively (one after the other). Each conviction carried a prison sentence of up to 5 years.
The prosecution asked for the maximum on both counts. "This is one of the more serious crimes" that comes before a court, said Chief Deputy Cass County Attorney Colin Palm.
Mike Ziskey of the alternate public defender's office asked that the judge not rule out probation. He said Adams could go back to California and suitable arrangements could be made to be on probation there.
Cass County District Court Judge Randall Rehmeier described what Adams did as "horrible conduct," especially with one of the victims. Rehmeier sentenced Adams to the maximum of five years on one count and not less than three years and not more than five years on the other count. The sentences will be served consecutively in the Nebraska Department of Corrections. With credit for time already served, Rehmeier said it will be four years before Adams is eligible for parole.

text: According to several witnesses, the airplane took off, and at approximately 50 feet, appeared to "hang in the air." The airplane "fell" out of the sky, impacting the tarmac, adjacent to the departure runway. According to the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report submitted by the pilot, he was planning on a soft field takeoff procedure and had selected full flaps (30 degrees). The Aviat Aircraft airplane flight manual recommends 30 degrees of flaps for a high performance takeoff. The pilot did not recall anything unusual during the departure roll and did not report any mechanical anomalies. The right wing was bent up at midspan and crumpled. The fuselage, and firewall was wrinkled, the engine was crushed aft and the propeller was broken.

Product Information
- Dora the Explorer Fantastic Gymnastics Dora from Fisher-Price
- Part of the Dora the Explorer brand
- We recommend this product for ages 3 and up
- 4 AA batteries required TTPM trusts
What It Is
Kids can go for the gold with Fantastic Gymnastics Dora. This 17-inch Dora doll is based on the new DVD Dora's Fantastic Gymnastics Adventure. The doll performs seven gymnastics moves, four full routines, and says more than 40 phrases in both English and Spanish. Dora even sings a song. To start, lay the doll on its back with its arms down, then press the star button on Dora's leotard. Dora will perform a warm-up sequence, followed by a floor routine that includes leg lifts, a backbend, a backbend with kicks, a handstand, and a handstand split. Kids can also lay the doll on its back with its arms up, then press the button on Dora's leotard to watch Dora count her toe touches. Place the doll on its stomach with its arms up, and Dora will pop up into a push-up position. If you lay the doll on its stomach with arms down, the doll will raise itself up into a split. Then Dora asks kids to help her stretch up her arms. Once kids do this, Dora asks for kids to hold her hands and lift her up. Dora will then do a special Super Splits move.
Is It Fun?
Kids don't have to be gymnasts to enjoy watching and helping Dora do her routines. We like that the doll moves very well as it goes from one move to the next. This interactive doll encourages kids to help Dora practice her routines and shows kids that exercise can be fun.
Who It's For
Fantastic Gymnastics Dora is for Dora the Explorer fans ages 3 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
Four AA batteries are included, but these are for in-store try-me purposes. Fisher-Price recommends replacing the batteries before you play for best results.
When you begin, make sure Dora's head is facing forward. When adjusting Dora's arms, be aware that Dora's arms move only in one direction. If you want to lift up Dora's arms, you must swing them up from the back. To put Dora's arms down, swing them down from the front.
Fantastic Gymnastics Dora works best on a hard, flat surface.

Student Grievance Policy
|Academic Affairs
A common element in any academic environment is people and their relationships to one another. In a health professional school this responsibility is exceedingly evident. From time to time questions may arise between individuals or groups which, left unanswered, can lead to a distraction from the mission of the institution.
It should be the purpose of the Student Grievance Policy to provide a fair yet flexible mechanism for consideration of charges of arbitrary, capricious, or discriminatory treatment in academic and non-academic (excluding disciplinary--See Student Judicial Policy--and advancement) matters between student vs. student, student vs. faculty and faculty vs. student situations.
In establishing a formal grievance protocol for the Dental School, there should be the provision of an informal phase to attempt to identify and resolve problems before the initiation of formal proceedings.

Swansea hoping to beat the odds vs. Manchester City
Manchester City at the Etihad should always be a special fixture for Swansea. It was the Swans first fixture as a Premier League team, even though it ended in a 4-0 defeat. That same game was also significant for Manchester City.
It marked Sergio Aguero's introduction to his new team and the league. The Argentinian striker had joined that summer in a 38 million pound deal from Atletico Madrid and came off the bench to score twice.
Brendan Rodgers, the Swans manager of the time, remarked that Swansea's...

Gov. Bill Ritter announced today he has requested federal disaster assistance for several Colorado counties where crops have been affected by drought and an early frost.
Gov. Ritter sent a letter to U.S Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack asking for Secretarial Disaster Designation.
Fremont County received damaging frost and freezing temperatures on Oct. 8, 9 and 11, 2009. The early frost rendered unharvested apples worthless. The Western Slope saw a wet spring turn into a very dry summer. Various crops in Mesa, Montezuma, Dolores, San Miguel and Montrose counties were damaged due to drought at levels that qualify for disaster designation.

I've really grown to appreciate this book over the years: Reclaiming the American Right, and it is back in print and in the Mises.org store.
It was written in 1992 and appeared first in 1993, and it has aged rather well. Justin Raimondo writes an entire chapter on the main figures of the "old right" including Nock, Garrett, Patterson, and others who opposed FDR's welfare-warfare state. He makes the argument that this group is more representative of the true spirit of American conservatism: love of liberty and hatred of the planning state. You can argue with his thesis and terms but not the remarkable intellectual history here. He seems to have read everything and he provides excellent summaries of their main works. I discovered this myself when doing all my work on Garrett and only checking this book later to find that he had read all the novels and provided excellent summaries of them. So my respect for this book has only increased over the years.
I have doubts about his proposed attempt to save the right from itself. It strikes me that the enterprise is futile at this point, and that the right has been so completely transformed since those days that there is no sense in longing for any form of restoration. On the other hand, he does make a strong case for the old right and its coherence as a movement and intellectual force.
In any case, the book is back and it is as challenging as ever!

Monaca, Pa. (AP) Barack Obama says the government should cut middle class taxes this year to help the troubled economy.
Both Obama and rival Hillary Rodham Clinton are criticizing President Bush for failing to take the lead in addressing the nation's economic woes.
During a town hall meeting today at a community college near Pittsburgh, Obama said the "economy is in shambles." he wants the economic stimulus package signed by Bush to be supplemented by tax cuts this year.
Clinton says this is a time of economic "stress and uncertainty." she adds that there is an "urgency to continue the action that was started yesterday."
The comments come after the Federal Reserve's approval of a $30 billion loan that helped JPMorgan Chase in its take over of financially strapped Bear Stearns.
Both candidates say the fed has made the right moves to stabilize the country's financial markets.

If you are a Layton resident planning a business or vacation trip, your cherished pet may be unable to accompany you. Fortunately, you can rest easy with the knowledge that your dog is safe in The Urban Pets's boarding kennel. Even if you will only be away for a weekend, The Urban Pet will gladly accommodate your dog's needs. And should you be planning a trip of ten days or more, we will even offer a 10% long term discount. We are located a convenient distance from Hill AFB and cater to our military clientele. We are happy to offer a 10% discount to all active military personnel.
As a guest, your pet will be assigned a specially trained dog monitor who will quickly acquaint themselves with your dog's routines and needs. The monitor will serve as your dog's primary caretaker, and this staff member will play with, care for and walk your dog a minimum of twice per day, and ensure that your pet is fed and their accommodations are clean and well appointed with toys, bedding, dishes, food and water. Of course, your cherished pet will have ample time to socialize with other canine guests as well as other members of The Urban Pet's kennel team. To maximize your dog's experience, we provide an abundance of toys, music, and even television programs!
We here at the Urban Pet also offer cat boarding on a limited basis. Cats are housed in a separate room. They are set up in a cage with a bed, clean bedding, litter pan and food and water. Music can be played to further insulate them from the dogs and noise. They are interacted with daily to provide them with affection and mental stimulation.
As part of our service, we offer to feed our own pet food. Should they wish, Layton pet owners can select this as an alternative to their pet's regular diet, although we recommend that all dietary changes be introduced slowly. Special considerations are also provided for pets which are elderly and not as sociable as they used to be. Our staff members also attend to special needs by administering medications for arthritis or other conditions. Ultimately, The Urban Pet is the superior choice for discriminating pet owners in the Layton area. While you are away, you can rest easy with the knowledge that your dog is well cared for. Who knows? At The Urban Pet, your pets may think they are the ones on vacation!

NBI – Spurious Blogging Tips and Lies My Parents Told Me May 30, 2012Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in blog thing, entertainment.
Tags: El Segundo, Linkwhoring, NBI, New Blogger Initiative, Newbie Blogger Initiative
The New Blogger Initiate appears to be over already. I thought the last post was supposed to be on the end of the month. And yet I still have bad advice to spread about. Enough procrastination.
I generally have one good suggestion for bloggers, after which my advice tends to fall into two categories.
The first is advice that is so specific to my own situation that it probably won't be all that helpful, while the rest is so general that it will likewise not be all that helpful.
So, first, my one good piece of advice… and even that is just my opinion.
Be The Blog You Want to Read
Even that seems to be sort of a "duh" statement.
But seriously, I presume that you have decided to jump into MMO blogging after having read some other MMO blogs. And those blogs have probably made an impression on you. And I bet some of those sites had aspects you did not like. Don't do those things. Your blog should be the example you want others to follow.
Other than that, I have a few items which work for me.
You want to know Tobold's biggest blogging crime is in my opinion? You cannot find shit on his blog once it falls off the front page.
Effective use of tags, categories, and timelines can make it much easier to find your past efforts on a given subject. Unless, of course, you don't want people to find what you have said in the past.
For the most part people won't go looking for things. Most people will rarely look at anything except your last couple of posts. But if you are like me, YOU will probably want to find things you have posted in the past, and organization helps.
Have a Philosophy
I feel that failing on this front is what leads most bloggers to give up after a short time.
If the answer to the question, "Why do you have a blog?" is "Because I want a blog!" then you might not be ready to begin. I know I wasn't. I started off with wanting to write a blog about online gaming and was all over the map for a while.
Then I settled down a bit when I finally realized what I wanted the blog to be. My blogging philosophy is to weave together my own gaming experiences… tales of the weekly instance group, exploits in EVE Online, and so forth… with a timeline of major events in the industry like MMO launches, closings, expansions, and that sort of headline and press release sort of thing. I also add in a bit about the actual act of blogging and that is the general mix that makes up TAGN.
And yet I do not feel bound by my philosophy. I set aside the weekend for the occasional post on other topics.
Add Value
This is tough, because value can be very subjective. For example, I do not post press releases without comment. But my comments are rarely very insightful. They tend to sum up the impact on me. That is value to me, but it may not be so for you. And if you have decided to create a MMO press release blog, you can make the argument that a single source of such press releases, especially if well organized, adds value by its existence. But you ought to feel that there is some value to your posts. That may help sustain you when the initial warm glow of a new blog starts to fade.
Give Yourself Some Structure
I have one regular weekly post about the instance group's activities over the past weekend, which runs on Thursday for reasons of laziness. And then I post a once a month summary for reasons I can no longer recall, other than it seemed like a good idea at the time. Those two recurring posts are the structure of the blog, and everything else is extra.
Link Like You are Getting Paid to Link
When in doubt, link to something. Link to source material. Link to press releases. Link to other blog posts on the subject. Link to your past posts on the subject. Link to definitions of big words. This is the internet, and the biggest advantage it gives you is the ability to quickly and easily connect to other material on the same subject. While I link out a lot, I still feel I could be doing more. Plus, you know, link whoring.
Do Not Depend Too Much on Links
The flip side of the above is link rot. While it is a great thing to be able to link to all sorts of supporting material, do not depend on it to carry the weight of your post. I groan when I see a post that contains a "go read this" link and then offers an opinion that depends on the context of off-site material to carry the post. Because that link is going to go dead some day, and then that post will make no sense. I try to keep quotes and context on my own site and link back to their source… like I was writing a real paper or something. Sometimes I get lazy and don't, and then a link goes dead and I kick myself for it.
Do Not Take Things Too Seriously
Yourself included, unless you plan to make this your profession. It is only a blog. Blogs are a dime a dozen, and for each one that is against some aspect of online games, you can find another that is completely in favor of it. So if you reach a point where you find yourself taking game companies to task because they do not listen to your advice… and you are not actually in the industry but just some person on the internet… you've probably gone too far.
Headlines Can Be a Lot of Fun
Even now, somebody is probably trying to figure out what lies my parents told me. Other than the usual ones… Santa, the Easter Bunny, the impact of swallowing watermelon seeds, and the existence of El Segundo… I cannot recall any huge, earth shattering lies. But they might still be holding out on me.

I don't agree with your Organize section. Automatic search is more powerful than manual categorization. Tagging can miss posts, or cause a lot of work when you introduce a new tag.
Simply searching for the tag text probably brings up the same posts, and is far more flexible and powerful.

My mother once told me, when I pointed at a sewage plant and asked her what it was, that it was where they made the bread.
I am pretty sure if I ask her about this she will disclaim all knowledge. And now i come to think of it, I can't imagine where I would have seen a sewage plant.
Still happened though.
- 6. Rohan - May 30, 2012
I don't know. In my opinion, tagging adds clutter, looks bad, and is invariably incomplete. A strong search option is cleaner and more accurate.
- 8. Rohan - May 31, 2012
Yeah, you're right about that, they are ugly. I'm not sure I'm going to continue with that experiment/idea.
That was mostly for titles that weren't game specific, but did apply to a single game. The better route might have been incorporating the game into the title where the title doesn't stand on it's own.

Fears of a seafood shortage caused a rush at markets and marinas on Wednesday. Suppliers were swamped with orders across Acadiana.
"I'd like to get all that you have in there," said Abbeville resident Dolla Walker. She bought 20 pounds of Gulf shrimp at Sonny's Seafood Market in Lafayette and she's not even planning a party. "We want to stock up, stock up on it just to make sure," said Walker.
Seafood lovers like Walker are worried, so much in fact, that they're buying in bulk. "People that normally buy 10 pounds will call for 40 to 50 pounds," said shrimp retailer Leon Stelly.
Sonny's is having trouble keeping up with the demand. "We're not getting 36-42s. Yesterday I couldn't get none at all," said Roger Dejean.
The early shrimping season for zones one and two ended Tuesday night after being open for less than a week. That left little time for shrimpers to load up. The reason it closed, was to preserve juvenile brown shrimp that were showing up, not because of oil.
Granger's Seafood in Maurice sold out of its load before the shrimp was even caught and brought into Delcambre on Tuesday night. "It's been crazy cause the customers just want to get their hands on some shrimp in case the oil would happen to come," said Cheryl Granger.
Folks are stuffing their freezers, fearing a possible shortage. "Instead of 25 or 30 pounds they'll take 100 pounds, one lady came this morning and picked up 300 pounds," said Granger.
Shrimpers are hopeful for Thursday May 6, when Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries will meet to announce the opening of the shrimp season for just zone two, which includes Vermilion Bay.

Arkeia bigs up sliding windows dedupe
Privately-owned Arkeia thinks it's in prime position to backup to the cloud because its dedupe technology is better than anybody else's. Arkeia says its dedupe is up to twice as good as Symantec's Backup Exec 2010. It has a slide (pictured) showing it providing a better than 50 per cent size reduction in Excel documents and …
Let me see if I understand this
They not only want people to backup to a potentially unreliable medium, they think that ensuring that there's only one copy of each piece of backed-up data on that medium is a selling point?
I'll pass, thanks. If I backup anything to a cloud I want as many copies, in as many places, as I can comfortably and securely manage.
Let me see if I can help to understand this :)
I agree with you that you should always retain at least 2 copies of backups in different locations. But there is no interest to keep redundant data on the same backup storage (whatever it is disk or tape).
For example, if you backup the user folder of 20 sales people using the same ppt presentation with only the first slide modified (sales person name + company presented it to) you might have hundreds occurrences of the "almost" same file: block-level dedupe allows you to dedupe within all these files, across all the backed up machines (for the products able to dedupe across all backed up machines).
How long is a piece of...
Common-or-garden PKZIP can reduce a typical .xls by 50% or more. 7-zip might do even better.
For .vmdk files, compressibility will depend on whether all space is allocated at creation, or not. If yes, then there will be acres of blank space which can be very easily compressed. Now, if they'd taken already-compressed .jpg, .mp3 or .avi files into account, the results might look less promising.
For years, backup software and hardware vendors have made unrealistic claims as to media capacity, through quoting hypothetical compressed values instead of actual figures. This leads buyers who are unaware of this hype into specifying backup solutions which are inadequate for the task in hand, for example a "500GB" tape drive typically will NOT backup a full 500GB disk. Sometimes, not even a half-full disk. Consequences are eventual failure of automated backups to run properly, and the need to replace costly but under-spec'd backup equipment ahead of life-expectancy.
This claim might be genuine, and I'm prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt. But, I'm wise to the backup industry's reputation for hype.
NEVER dedupe unstructured data...
...because the doc or xls file contains pre-compressed content already, further dedupe just increases performance needs but realized storage savings will typically be low and not justify the investment.
Native Format Optimization which preserves the file format can achieve 40-75% data reduction but without the disadvantages of dedupe (single point of failure, performance) and is the best way to tackle unstructured data - dedupe was made for backup, not for unstructured data.
And, I want to understand: If the PPT file is deduped and even 50% of space is saved because not 2 but 1 copy is saved, how the hell is this generating savings in the network? The single file is still X MB big and still pushed as a whole through the line...
Source-side dedupe
Savings in network bandwidth is achieved by source-side backup solutions (such as Arkeia or Avamar). Only unique blocks not previously saved are sent to the backup server, hence the bandwidth usage reduction.
My 2 cents ;)

I don't know what it is about global warming that gets everyone all touchy and sparks a million of the same debate. Maybe people just don't want to believe the world could get any worse than it's been. I sure don't. However, whatever the facts are, I'm sure that everyone can at the very least agree that if we don't know with 100% accuracy what will happen in the next century, the very least we can do is stop cranking out carbon emissions like there's no tomorrow.

Published December 20, 2013
Last month was the warmest November on record, according to a report released this week from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC).
"It's the first time we've seen a big spike like this in the global surface temperature in several years," said Deke Arndt, chief of the climate-monitoring branch of the NCDC, which is part of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
November's worldwide average was 1.40°F (0.78°C) higher than the 20th-century global average temperature of 55.2°F (12.9°C). It was the sixth warmest of any month since record-keeping began in 1880, marking the 345th consecutive month—more than 28 years—that temperatures were above the 20th century's average. (See "Rising Temperatures May Cause More Katrinas.")
"This surprised us a little bit when we saw the numbers come in," Arndt said. While 2010 was the hottest year on record, global temperatures have tapered off since then. (See "Does 'Global Warming Pause' Debate Miss Big Picture?")
There weren't any large-scale patterns that would have hinted at such an upswing. Unlike in 2010, there was no El Niño event this year, which would have had a slight warming effect.
Previously, the hottest November was in 2004, which was 1.37°F (0.75°C) warmer than the average. The new record may not seem much warmer, Arndt said, but the leap is significant considering the fact that the numbers are averaged across the entire world.
Although such a spike in itself doesn't prove or validate anything about climate change, it's consistent with the overall global trend of rising temperatures, he said. "It's a single piece of evidence that tends to support what we've seen over the last 30 years, that the average surface temperature of the planet is getting warmer." (See also "New Study Predicts Year Your City's Climate Will Change.")
Hot, Hot, Hot
The month was so warm despite the fact that the U.S. was 0.27°F (0.15°C) cooler than average. Other parts of North America, northern Australia, Greenland, and the waters south of South America were also slightly cooler.
But the rest of the world more than made up for it. For example, Russia experienced the hottest November since the country started keeping records in 1891. Parts of the Ural Mountains in Siberia and the arctic islands in the Kara Sea experienced temperatures that were 14°F (8°C) higher than the average.
The first 11 months of 2013 are tied with 2002 as the fourth warmest such period, putting this year on pace to be one of the hottest ever recorded. (See also "2012: Hottest Year on Record for Continental U.S.")
The report also noted that in November, the sea-ice cover in Antarctica spanned 6.63 million square miles (17.1 million square kilometers), 5.3 percent more than the average between 1981 and 2010 and breaking the 2010 record by 90,000 square miles (233,000 square kilometers).
Recent months have seen record or near-record sea-ice extent in Antarctica, puzzling scientists, Arndt said. In terms of ocean currents and atmospheric patterns, Antarctica is somewhat isolated from the rest of the world, which may help to explain this anomaly.
Still, Arndt said, the recent upsurge in Antarctic ice is much less than all the ice that has been lost so far in the Arctic.
In November, Arctic sea-ice continued its downward trend, dwindling by 6.8 percent below the 1981-2010 average of 4.24 million square miles (10.8 million square kilometers). November was also the month with the sixth-lowest extent of Arctic sea ice in 35 years of record-keeping.
I had to send this to a friend who complained non stop about how much colder this November was in Houston than last November. Southern California has also been colder. All the data we have on past weather patterns only can tell us what happened in the past. It doesn't necessarily mean that the next year is going to fit in that pattern. Plus, the fact is, we only have data from a fraction of Earth's existence. Given how much we know Earth has changed, we can expect it to keep changing.
Hey Guys, seems to be a bit of sarcasm in the Comments. No one will take anything you say seriously if you pursue this line. Everyone makes mistakes.....acting like this is a kinder garden achieves nothing. For that matter no one will bother reading the comments. Engaging in name calling will see the Editors simply stop all comments on articles as has happened on other forums. Bit of decorum please.....
8 C in Siberia! We are literally cooked, currently cooking.
Then again, maybe it's actually going to get cooler:
I was about to share this interesting article, when I noted Bruce's comment. I will hold off sharing, until the numbers are verified or corrected. Thank you, Bruce, you have saved me from a great deal of embarrassment, as well as angry retorts!
A mile is bigger than a kilometre, so how can 6.63 million square miles be equal to 1.71 million square kilometres? Or 4.24 million square miles be equal to 1.08 million square kilometres? Even more surprising is that 90,000 square miles equals 233,000 square kilometres? Something is very wrong with the numbers.
@Angelina DiMarco It's an ego defense. Talk to a really adamant climate science denier and you'll find he's committed to some strong ideology that doesn't have any way to fix the problem. And the ideology teaches its followers they're the only ones who really know what's going on. Findings from climate science as it's developed over 150 years show there's a problem with disposing of CO2 into the atmosphere. It's hazardous waste in the quantities we make it. There's noting in Heyek or Cato or Rand, for three examples, where we can fix that. So the follower of the extreme ideology is either the smartest guy in the room and all the world's national science academies are wrong, or science is right and he's been duped by public relations flacks for the fossil fuel industry telling him what he wants to hear. Finding out you're a dupe is a crushing blow to the ego. The mind erects defenses against that kind of injury. The victim gets "all touchy as Angelina noticed, or finds the threatening new information incomprehensible or funny.
@John C. Based on historic cycles of heating and cooling, does not take into account one iota of current warming data. STUPID!
@Bruce DavidsonMaybe wash your eyes and read article again will help, numbers are correct in the article
You mean the lack of warming for the past 17 years that the models never predicted? Get back to us when the climate models can predict what actually happens with the climate.
They're probably a lot more fun to hang with than the pompous stiffs at IPCC, and just as accurate.
Hey Rob, the article was edited between the time Bruce commented and your snide comment, maybe wash your brain out and stop being so mean spirited and gullible.
