"The Good Wife" recap (5.4): A Wedding Before the War
The real heartbeat of this episode, though, is Diane. It's quite clear at this point that this is Diane's season, and I'm not complaining one bit. Yes, Alicia and Cary and the plans to jump ship are all very intriguing, but it's Diane's turmoil that I'm left still thinking about after the show ends each week; it's her presence that commands every scene she's in. And if we so far have a season with a whole lot less Kalinda, a whole lot more Diane is the only acceptable substitute in my book. I know she's about to marry a dude and everything, but let's be honest, Diane is pretty much ours.
And in this episode, we get to see Happy Diane! Diane realizing that the shackles of Lockhart Garden being forcibly removed from her hands might actually be freeing. Happy Diane is somehow just as sexy as Serious Diane, which is a rare and special quality in a woman. We see her shooting guns with Kurt, kissing him, smiling, ignoring calls from work. Kurt calls it all a turn on. Well duh, Kurt.
We continue to get more glimpses of Diane as a real person outside of work as, after their shooting session, she and Kurt run into her oldest friends from law school, who proceed to get into an argument with Kurt over gun control, ie., the Second Amendment v. Sandy Hook, which is the argument of my worst nightmares, because I am squarely on the side of Diane's friends, except whenever I try to talk to a Second Amendment person I end up shaking and crying a lot more than Diane's friends did. Basically, it is a bad scene and I've learned to avoid it at all costs.
Yet, I somehow still like Kurt. I like Kurt a lot, and Diane does, too, even though a firm but lovingly concerned talk from her friends later—they find a Sarah Palin book Kurt has given her in her apartment; their concern is understandable–makes her second-guess their upcoming marriage a little. This second-guessing continues when she pushes Kurt about finally meeting some of his friends, who turn out to be a bunch of strapping young ladies in a bar, all of whom probably think Ted Cruz is a dreamboat. Or maybe not. Even they don't look THAT evil.
But, amazingly, Diane doesn't care. Okay, she cares, but she still loves Kurt, anyway. And there is something about this relationship that is deeply romantic and deeply wonderful, and while Kurt waits anxiously in the courthouse in front of the Marriages & Civil Unions department later in the episode to see if she'll show, with a look on his face that says he wouldn't necessarily be surprised if she didn't, none of us are surprised when she does. And while part of me is slightly sad this is over and done with so fast, with so little fanfare in the courthouse, I also can't see either Diane or Kurt doing it any other way. Diane Lockhart in a frilly white dress? Please.
However, before she can revel in marital bliss—or even tell anyone about it—concerns about Lockhart Gardner's future have been creeping back into her free-of-Lockhart-Gardner happiness, a happiness we always knew would be temporarily. Because it's still her name on the office walls, goddammit, and she still cares, particularly when those fourth years continue to just be so freaking sloppy with their biznass.
First of all, unrelated to Florrick Agos, we learn that one of the fourth years actually DID sexually harass the paralegal by falsely sending an email inviting her to the office of the Old and Crazy Partner during his lunch hour, during which he apparently sleeps totally naked from the waist down. This itself is funny. Ha! Old and crazy! Kalinda and Elsbeth confirm this penis-airing lunch hour by making an unexpected visit, during which Elsbeth is horrified and Kalinda's like, "Eh, I've seen better, old man."
However, sending unknowing people who work beneath you in to see the penis-airing creepy old man for laughs IS sexual harassment, so, funny joke, bros. We also discover that one of the dissenting fourth years has been supplying Viola Walsh with incriminating information about Lockhart Gardner for the case, because he thinks this is a good idea for Florrick Agos or something, because the fourth years are the worst. They also demand that Alicia start downloading some of the files of clients that have agreed to jump ship with them, in case Lockhart Gardner withholds them out of bitterness after all is said and done. This is, of course, stealing and probably illegal and Alicia really really doesn't want to do it but she is the only one that has the ability to get past the partners-only firewalls on the computers. And, of course, Diane just happens to try to locate one of her files at the same time Alicia's downloading it. Whoops. Diane also starts to notice the rugs that are rolled up in Alicia's office, the artwork that isn't hanging on the walls. Why are you guys so bad at this?
Oh, and we also have a lot of really non-suspicious meetings together.
But the shit really starts to hit the fan when Diane meets with the client whose file she had been cockblocked from by Alicia, a client played by the always lovely Sonja Sohn from The Wire. Playing off of her suspicions, Diane wheedles away at Sonja about her possible move to a new firm, even going to the point of saying, "Alicia told me, it's fine," when Sonja won't budge. At that, Sonja seems surprised but says that, you know, a law firm with the governor's name on the letterhead is hard to pass up. Diane's face blanches. You best watch your back, Alicia Florrick. Diane has fire in her eyes.

ORLANDO — Two men who were among a group suspected of using a stolen car to smash through a clothing-store window were the latest in more than a dozen arrests on looting charges in central Florida during the weekend.
Statewide, another 11 or so suspected looters were arrested during Hurricane Frances, authorities said.
Law-enforcement officials said many of the brazen looting attempts were thwarted.
In one incident, a man who was later found to have burglary tools tried to hide from officers by ducking into what he thought was a trash can at an Orlando restaurant, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said. Instead, he wound up in a vat of grease.

November 28, 2014
BROOKFIELD, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin's longest-serving congressman has been elected to his 18th consecutive term.
Republican James Sensenbrenner cruised to victory Tuesday over a token challenge by Democrat Dave Heaster in southeastern Wisconsin's 5th District. The reliably Republican district includes parts of Jefferson, Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties.
The 69-year-old was first elected in 1978. One of the wealthiest members of Congress, he's known for being tight-fisted with spending. During one campaign, his wife was quoted as affectionately calling him "the cheapest man I know."
Sensenbrenner made headlines last year for reportedly saying first lady Michelle Obama had a "big butt." He later sent her a personal note of apology.
Heaster, an information-technology worker for Kohler Co., didn't mount much of a campaign or try to raise funds.

The Rise of Amsterdam's Food Film Festival
08 May 14
Joris Lohman
One night in January 2010, four friends and I sat around a kitchen table. The Youth Food Movement (part of the Slow Food Youth Network/SFYN) in the Netherlands had just taken off and we were eager to start up projects to change the way people think about food. We wanted to share stories of our food system: not only the problems that exist, but also the beauty and joy of a good meal. What better way to tell these stories than through film? That night, we came up with an idea: to create a festival that combines films, workshops, a great restaurant, a food market and, of course, music and parties. The Food Film Festival was born.
We had no idea where to start, no experience and no money. What followed was a year and a half of brainstorming ideas, sharing our plans with anyone who wanted to hear them, and searching for sponsors. When the first festival took place in Amsterdam in 2011 it was an unexpected success. More than 4000 visitors came to the event; with all the films, and workshops sold out, and the restaurant constantly packed: The Food Film Festival and SFYN were on the map!
From the beginning, we set our ambitions high. We wanted to create the world's most important festival dedicated to food and film, build an annual stage for the food movement in the Netherlands and show people that the movement for good, clean and fair food is a political movement that means business. We wanted to bring together chefs, food professionals and food producers, as well as Slow Food and SFYN members from across the globe – our own little Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre.
Four years on, many of our dreams have come true. The fourth edition of the Food Film Festival will take place from May 9-11 in a new and bigger location in Amsterdam, de Westergasfabriek. We are expecting around 10,000-15,000 visitors, who will be able to indulge themselves in a diverse program. Highlights will include a keynote speech by innovative farmer Joel Salatin, star of Michael Pollan's books; a debate on fisheries, in collaboration with a young fishers organization; and an interactive show co-organized by Birdlife. Visitors will also have the chance to book amazing lunch experiences, prepared by the legendary Pourcel brothers and other young rising stars of Dutch cuisine. A pop-up restaurant, which will be run by Joris Bijdendijk, the Netherlands' youngest Michelin star chef and member of the Slow Food Chef Alliance, will also be serving-up reasonably priced food throughout the festival.
Having seen that a small group of people, with no experience whatsoever, were able to build this popular event, and the community surrounding it, has really strengthened my belief that with the right amount of creativity, perseverance and a lot of hard work, in our own special way, we can change the world.
Joris Lohman is the leader of the Slow Food Youth Network (SFYN) in the Netherlands, co-founder of the Food Film Festival and member of the Executive Committee of Slow Food International.

The Dark Horse by Marcus Sedgwick
When Horn's war party found the girl, she was hidden in the corner of the cave, undressed, and past comforting by the wolves who raised her. They had been slaughtered by the Lawspeaker's band or else run off, howling their rage and loneliness. A foundling, surely, filthy, perhaps seven or eight summers old. Horn, the Lawspeaker, growled that she should not join the Storn tribe. A worthless child... another mouth to feed in starving times.

Ed Reed: Lots of injuries go unreported in NFL
Oct/22/12 05:26 PM Filed in:
Ed Reed
People are getting a little cavalier with this whole injury report thing. Whereas New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick had quarterback Tom Brady listed every week, these teams have simply left guys off.
The Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins were fined $20,000 each Friday for failing to report injuries. The Bills didn't list Mario Williams, who was receiving treatment on his wrist. The Redskins announced quarterback Robert Griffin III was "shaken up" and questionable to return against the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 7. He should have been declared out with a concussion.
Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed recently admitted that he's been playing with a torn labrum. The NFL has launched an official inquiry because Reed has been missing from the Ravens' injury reports. Coach Jim Harbaugh on Friday explained that some 25 to 30 players each week have small injuries that they practice and play through.
"I don't know why it doesn't go on (the injury report)," Reed told the Baltimore Sun. "I'm sure a lot of guys have been through this league and had injuries and it's not reported. That's the physical part of the game and a part of the game that the fans and y'all don't (know) anything about. That's the part that we have to deal with from a workers' compensation situation, so to say. That's stuff that will be taken care of.
"I'm physically all right, but it is what it is on that."
It's hard to see a scenario in which the Ravens aren't fined, especially in the wake of Reed's admission and the fines imposed on the Bills and Redskins. Teams and players try to hide injuries -- that's no surprise. They might have gotten away with it if Reed hadn't talked about it in the interview.

text: Nadal and Sharapova win Indian Wells titles Print article Send a Tip AP 3/18/2013 8:37:05 AM (AP) Nadal and Sharapova win Indian Wells titlesBy BETH HARRISAP Sports WriterINDIAN WELLS, Calif.Rafael Nadal continued his successful comeback with his third title in four tournaments, and Maria Sharapova broke through, too.Nadal rallied to beat Juan Martin del Potro 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 and win the BNP Paribas Open after Sharapova claimed her first title of the year, 6-2, 6-2 over Caroline Wozniacki in the women's final on Sunday.Nadal improved to a career-best 17-1 on the year, including 14 straight match wins since returning in early February after a seven-month layoff because of a left knee injury.He's won three titles _ two on clay while runner-up in another on his favorite surface _ and now his first on hard courts since Tokyo in October 2010. He had lost six previous finals on the surface."That's makes emotional week for me," he said. "Very important victory for me, winning against the best players of the world on a surface that is good for them."Sharapova, runner-up here last year, won her first Indian Wells title since 2006. She and Nadal each earned $1 million."It's nice to hold up that trophy after so many years," she said.The victories moved up both players in this week's rankings. Nadal is No. 4 and Sharapova is No. 2 behind Serena Williams."Number 1 is a great number," Sharapova said. "But I think at this point in my career, titles and Grand Slams are just a bigger priority."Nadal won his 600th career match and broke a tie with Roger Federer for most career ATP Tour Masters 1000 titles with his 22nd.Nadal defeated Federer in straight sets in the quarterfinals, then took out Tomas Berdych in two sets in the semis. Against Del Potro, Nadal rolled to an early lead in a match that was marked by several momentum swings.Nadal served three love games in the third set, capping his last one with a 123-mph ace that gave him a 5-3 lead.Del Potro came from love-40 down and fought off three match points to hold at 5-4. But Nadal served out the match, dropping just one point in the final game of the 2 1/2-hour match in the desert heat."I try to put the match in a little bit slower rhythm and waited for the right moments to go for the point and worked well," he said. "Del Potro is a fantastic player, so it's not easy to change the dynamic of the match like this."Del Potro saved three break points to lead 1-0 in the third. Nadal held at love, taking three games in a row for a 3-1 lead that he never gave up.After falling behind 3-0, Del Potro won eight of the next nine games to claim the opening set and take a 2-0 lead in the second."I was wrong in strategy for moments, something that for me is not usual, because normally I can have mistakes with the shots," Nadal said, "but with the tactics and how I have to manage the points, how I have to play the points, normally I am right."Del Potro went up 3-1 before Nadal won the final five games and the set 6-3 on a 105-mph ace that capped a love service game.After Nadal picked himself up, he hugged Del Potro, then trotted behind the baseline to clasp hands with billionaire tournament owner Larry Ellison of Oracle Corp. before falling to his knees near the net and raising his arms in celebration. Nadal playfully took a bite out of the Baccarat crystal trophy.Del Potro came up short in his bid to beat three Top-10 players in the same tournament for the second time in his career. He defeated No. 3 Andy Murray and No. 1 Novak Djokovic in three sets apiece in becoming the second Argentine since Guillermo Villas in 1977 to reach the final here.Sharapova dictated from the opening game, when she broke Wozniacki at love with groundstrokes that had the Dane running from side to side. Sharapova faced just two break points on her serve in the nearly 1 1/2-hour match."I always felt like I was always a foot ahead, especially with the breaks," she said. "I was able to serve well today, and that helped me."The victory gave Sharapova at least one title for 11 straight years dating to 2003.

Ishvara, ( Sanskrit: "Lord") in Hinduism, God understood as a person, contrasting with the impersonal transcendent brahma. The title is particularly favoured by devotees of the god Shiva; the comparable term Bhagavan (also meaning "Lord") is more commonly used by Vaishnavas (followers of the god Vishnu). Particular communities within the Hindu fold differ in their understanding of the relation between Ishvara and brahma. Theistic communities maintain that these two are one and the same, or even that the personal representation is superior; others, including some adherents of Advaita Vedanta, argue that Ishvara is a limited and ultimately inadequate representation of brahma.

The second part of the Parish of St. Pancras brings the
Survey southward as far as Regent's Park. It includes a
summary of the history of the prebendal manors, amongst
which the area of the parish is divided, and it has not a little
information concerning the buildings that bordered the old highways
before the sweeping changes of the last century. In presenting the
picture of earlier days the authors have been much assisted by the
admirable panoramic drawings and notes of Mr. J. F. King, the use
of which has been most kindly permitted by the St. Pancras Borough
Authorities. In the neighbourhood of Regent's Park are not only the
notable terraces planned by John Nash and his contemporaries, but also
the Chapel of St. Katharine's Hospital, which preserves its architectural
and monumental treasures, brought from its original site (now
S. Katharine's Docks) near the Tower of London. The Old Church
and its memorials are also included within this volume.
Mr. Marcham and Mr. Lovell are again primarily responsible for
the heavy work entailed in dealing with this closely inhabited area, but
they have had the assistance of the active Committee in many ways.
They are also indebted to the St. Pancras Borough Council for permission to reproduce material from the Heal Collection as well as the
panorama referred to above; the Governors of St. Bartholomew's
Hospital for access to their records and the use of the map of their
Estate near the Old Church, which has been reproduced; to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for permission to publish extracts from the
Court Rolls of the Manor of Cantelowes; to Lord Southampton for
access to his records of the Manor of Tottenhall; to the Bedford Estate,
the Commissioners of Crown Lands, Mrs. Arundell Esdaile, and many
others who have generously assisted the work of the Committee.

6VDT-H – The Biggest Battle in EVE History Ends the War in Fountain July 29, 2013Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, EVE Online, Null Sec.
Tags: 6VDT-H, Fountain War, I Was There, TEST
Well, we won, not only the largest battle in the history of "Eve Online", but also Fountain. While I was out enjoying a ~victory dinner~, TEST threw in the towel and is now busy retreating to NOL. We have a bunch of clean-up work to do and can't let our guard down, but hi5s all around and well fucking done.
The Mittani, post-battle broadcast
The Preparation
Sunday was a long day online.
The battle had been in the sights of both sides for a couple of days now, and the work leading up to it started well in advance.
Saturday evening I was actually out on one of the preparatory missions, taking down jump bridges and blowing up the one remaining TEST POS in 6VDT-H. Afterwards GSOL, the heroes who keep all of our infrastructure going, dropped 26 towers in the system, one at every possible location, so that TEST would have no safe spot at which to rally in the coming battle. It is my understanding that TEST only figured this out during the battle when they sought to drop a tower to create such a haven and found all the parking spots full.
That work went on throughout the night while I slept.
Sunday morning I rose late. The op was set to begin at 11:30am local time for me, so I rolled out of bed a little after 9am and jumped in the shower. After getting dressed and having the "breakfast of champions" (cold pizza and a coke) I got myself logged into my computer and into the various comms channels with well over 90 minutes left before the form up time.
I was greeted by calls to stock food around my desk, to say farewell to my family for the day, and to get online and in a ship and undocked ASAP to avoid the rush.
When I got in game in 4-EP there were already 1,300 people in the system and that number was growing quickly, even as early bomber fleets assembled and jumped out. I got slowly undocked and joined the mass of Megathrons at the staging POS where we attempted to form a conga line. It was still nearly 45 minutes before the official operation start time when, faced with 2,000 pilots in the staging system and time dilation hard over at 10%, the decision was made to form fleets.
Six Baltec fleets were created and the megathrons flooded into them so rapidly that I only just found space in the sixth fleet under Zagdul. All six were full and you could already tell the system was getting stressed. On a number of occasions, our fleet showed 257 members, despite the limit being 256.
One by one the fleets were bridged out through the tidi. We went by the numbers, so the sixth fleet went last while command was attempting to form up additional fleets for people still waiting. Fortunately for us, getting to 6VDT-H involved a single bridge from 4-EP. By the time it was our turn, tidi was fading in 4-EP and, while there was tidi upon us jumping into 6VDT-H, once the loading into system ceased, tidi went away. We moved to the station where one of the recurring pictures of the battle was six fleets orbiting the station.
The view was compared to ants swarming. I preferred to think of it as bees around a potential new hive.
Then it was time to wait. Even delayed as we were, there being six Baltec fleet to move out, we were there with plenty of time to spare. The station still had nearly an hour before it came out of reinforce and the main point of the battle… shoot the station… could begin.
We sat in orbit of the station, where we would remain for the bulk of the battle, waiting for bits of intel to dribble in while Solo Drakban was no doubt fretting over the comms infrastructure. In the past, big operations like this have brought down our voice comms, requiring the server to be re-provisioned to accommodate the load, a process which requires every pilot to go change their Mumble configuration. Since, at the best of times, maybe 4 out of 5 people actually hear (but not necessarily comprehend) instructions coming over comms, that sort of thing becomes a major undertaking on its own.
So we were told to just stay quiet and use voice comms as little as possible, lest we bring the whole house down. This actually worked, at least on our channel, which was surprising. Goons and allies are a talkative bunch and, when left with little to do, will begin to chat or argue about whatever happens to come up. With the warning in place, for long stretches, it was like being in the "no chatter" channel, where you can only hear the fleet command personnel speaking. (That channel can be a mercy when the topic of the day becomes violently inane.)
We were told about TEST and their allies from time to time. It was clear that they were forming up (answering the "Will they fight?" question) and that they had at least 2,000 pilots on hand from various sources. In that at least some of their friends from the east, done thrashing SOLAR FLEET, had returned and there were contingents from Northern Coalition, Nulli Secunda, Why So Serious, joining TEST and Tribal Band for the big show.
Gevlon has a post up about the TEST fleet coming together that gives the view from that side of the battle that is worth a read.
So we sat and orbited the station as the timer ticked down. At one point a good chunk of us got disconnected and had to ask for re-invites back to fleet on a specific chat channel. That actually worked surprisingly well. I just had to type "x for Baltec 6″ and I was invited back immediately.
Finally, the moment arrived, the station came out of reinforce. We locked it up and shot at it. Then, finally, TEST began to arrive on scene. The battle could begin.
The Battle
The local count began to rise and tidi, mostly absent up to that point, began to impose its iron will upon the fight. 3,600. 3,800. 3,900. Then it was past 4,000 people in system. TEST got themselves together and landed on us at the station and the fight began in earnest.
And for the next five hours we struggled to kill each other.
Tidi is one thing. Everything, including your UI, moves at 10% of normal speed to help the servers keep up. But beyond a certain point tidi is not enough for the servers to keep up. And then you have entered the lag zone, where the UI ceases to respond, where you can spend a long time waiting for a target that shows as locked to actually become available, where attempting to activate your guns fails more often than not, where you fear to change ammo or scripts or targets because things just started working and you are afraid to mess with it.
There was a point later in the battle, when the numbers in local dropped down to 3,000 and CCP's servers began to catch up, that merely being in 10% tidi felt liberating. Simple things, like your guns activating on the first try or targets actually locking in the time indicated were like a breath of fresh air. Running at one tenth normal speed is a doddle, if only the client will actually respond to your actions.
As for the battle itself, TEST landed on us and the fleets were intermixed in that odd way that happens in very large fights. At times I found myself flying between a pair of NC dominixes or through a cloud of TEST logistics. A Nulli Secunda logistics bantam appeared to orbit me at one point.
Meanwhile, we shot. Targets were called and we struggled to get our guns to fire on them. In the end I managed to get on 38 kill mails, primarily zealots and legions, which were our main targets. I had to change my overview a number of times. First I had to exclude capsules, which began to litter the field, and which we were told not to shoot. Let them walk home was the plan. And then I had to narrow that down to just the current target type so I could lock up the called target, as fleet target broadcasts were taking a long time to arrive on my screen. I need to sit down and make a series of "just X" overviews, as my more general ones become useless in a big fight like this.
At its peak, the system was moving so slowly that there were times when we were told some intel over comms, we would then read about that intel in the live report updates over at The Mittani.com, and then the actual action would come to pass in game.
One such action happened when TEST and pals appeared to be pulling out. The rallied around the B17 gate, then changed their mind and decided to end the battle in a glorious death ride straight into the teeth of the enemy (us), which by this time included two reinforcement Baltec fleets and a large fleet of dreadnoughts supported by carriers.
There is a decent summary of the battle posted over at The Mittani. I will link more as they show up. The numbers themselves are immense. The Battle Doctor report , which has finally caught up and settled down so might be somewhat accurate, shows a total 5,095 characters involved over the course of the fight with over 1,500 ships destroyed, and a pile of capsules on top of that.
The battle raged on until even tidi began to ease up. I was logged in for almost eight hours straight before it became time to take my wife out to dinner. Lots of people came and went. Gaff, who was busy at the beginning of the fight, got back in time to join the capital fleet that dropped into the middle of the fight. Over at DOTLAN stats for the system were prominent.
Not sure how that aligns with the Battle Doctor report. Maybe it hasn't caught up after all. And then there were the big spikes in the 6VDT-H system graphs.
I did not stay until the bitter end. After all day on the computer, I took the family out to dinner. But we were mopping up before I left. The numbers were down to JUST 2,000 in system and tidi was going away.
The Result
The battle was won by the CFC, as was the war. Reports of TEST retiring to Delve were in before I arrived home from dinner.
The war is over. A good thing I got my second propaganda post up last week. There is a large amount of clean up to be done. And there will be plenty of groups out there eager for some kills who will no doubt be camping gates. But operations will be unlikely to face full fleets of opposition. We are back to the general state of null sec at rest, with 10 man gangs sitting on gates or on drag bubbles between gates ganking single passers by.
While I lived through the big battle, I managed to get myself killed in a silly and embarrassing way by a member of SOLAR FLEET no less… because everybody showed up I guess. This was after I managed to escape from some NC zealots at the sun, who neglected to bring a tackler with them. I wasn't at the keyboard when the critical moment came and deserved to die. Life in EVE. At least I lost the cursed megathron that I had problems with at Z9PP-H. And it was insured.
And since we managed to lose a titan during the post-battle operations, I don't feel so bad.
There will be lots of musing about this battle. It was a victory for the CFC as well as for CCP, who managed to keep everything going for a whole day under very trying circumstances, and with the memories of z9PP-H looming.
Coverage of the battle made its way from EVE sites to MMO sites (with Massively noticeably terse and late to the party) to gaming sites to the mainstream news. Granted, the BBC seems to have a soft spot for EVE Online, and we are in the summer season of slow news, but still that is some coverage. Various coverage:
- BBC on 6VDT-H
- Huffington Post on 6VDT-H
- The Verge on the Battle
- The Independent (with CCP Manifest interview)
- Eurogamer
- Reddit Thread
- Game Informer
- PC Games
- Nubie (Spanish site)
- Massively
And in the blogesphere, reactions and commentary continue to flow about various aspects of the battle.
- Reddit – A Newbros Perception of 6VDT-H
- Gevlon – I was there
- Winterblink – The Build Up to the Battle
- Poetic Stanziel – The War in Fountain
- Corelin – Fountain Flip Flop
- Jester – POTW They're not built for this (or why to turn off brackets)
- Eveion – 6VDT-H Battle Report (too close to the mark to be satire)
- Prosper – I Was There – The Big Fights
- Musings of a Misguided Gallente – TEST's Last Stand
Added: CCP has a dev blog posted about the 6VDT battle now.
And then there is what to do with Fountain itself. While the CFC grabbed the region for its moon wealth, that very wealth will make it vulnerable to those who would seek to mess with the CFC in general and the Goons in particular. To protect them, somebody is going to have to move into the region. I expect we will see some shifts in the sovereignty map as alliances get rewarded for their participation in the war.
Finally, there is the spectacle aspect of this, which is where the general media joined in. A great event happened. A record was set. A war was won and lost. And I was there.
Ironic twist: We didn't actually take the station. We just put it into the next level of reinforce. That was expected. But those on the outside looking in might be a bit confused over that. Finishing that off is all part of the "more work to do" aspect of victory.
And after that, what are we going to do in space?
The Pictures
As usual, I took a screen shots during the battle. A gallery of pictures is available after the cut.

BBC online has some really good gaming coverage. It's one of the few sites I can browse at work without getting into trouble. Even taking that into account, whoever wrote that piece just has to be in Goonswarm.
Speaking of whom, we miss them, a little, or at least I do. The new Maguuma just isn't the same. Oh, I know Goons still have a presence. I killed a few only last night, but when I saw the Grub today, all lonely and undragged, I thought fondly and a little sadly of the glory days of October 2012.

Great fight, I really enjoyed it. Well done on winning the war, I'm sure we'll meet again, Test v CFC at some future battle. I think I may have been one of the zealots you killed (Callduron).

@Wilhelm: Ripard seems to disagree about stopping in Fountain: http://jestertrek.blogspot.de/2013/07/quote-of-week-attack-delve.html
I don't have any idea who of you will be right in the end. So the bext for me to do is stay noncommital on the question, which gives me the chance to afterwards say that I knew it all along.
- 8. Gaff - July 30, 2013
In the past, we didn't stop for too long before purging additional regions–Delve II after Fountain (or 3, who knows), Tenal after Branch, Vale after Tribute, however, we are talking about Delve here. This will be Delve V or some shit for us. I guess, and hope, we let sov max out in Fountain, reestablish the Eye of Terror, and gank the living shit outta Test and Renters for the foreseeable future. We have already purged so many people its like a 30 minute trip from Deklein to get any real PVP.
The real question is who will be moving to Fountain. FCON and FA are leading the participation stats–and FA shot first so perhaps they will be retard buffer in the south (ambiguity intentional).

You may be able to deduct qualified higher education tuition and required enrollment fees up to $4,000 that you pay for yourself, your spouse or a dependent.
This break, first established in the early part of the decade, was extended for 2008 and 2009 in the financial bailout legislation in October.
You do not have to itemize to take this deduction. However, a taxpayer cannot take both the tuition and fees deduction and either the Hope or Lifetime Learning education credits for the same student in the same year.
But since those credits have income limits, this deduction is important to taxpayers who don't otherwise qualify for either credit.
To determine whether your expenses are qualified, check IRS Publication 970: Tax Benefits for Education (.pdf file).
This publication also describes additional education-related tax benefits.

Sharing variables between models
On occasion you might want to split up your inference so that it runs on different sub-models (or different copies of the same model) where the participating sub-models have variables in common. Here are some common scenarios where you might want to do this:
- You have very large amounts of data and a single model won't fit into memory.
- Your model is of a type that needs to maintain large numbers of large messages, and won't fit into memory for even moderate amounts of data; this may happen with models that contain arrays of Discrete-distributed variables over large value ranges which switch on the values of those variables (such as LDA-type models).
- You are doing online inference and the data is not all available ahead of time.
- You want more control over the schedule by splitting your model into smaller chunks and scheduling them manually.
- You want to parallelise your inference code.
- You want to run different algorithms on different parts of your model.
All these scenarios have a common pattern. You will need to
- Run inference to convergence on one of the sub-models, say model A
- Extract the shared variable messages output from model A
- Initialise the next model, model B, say, by providing as input a product of all the output messages from all models except B
Creating a shared variable
Infer.NET provides a SharedVariable class which makes it easy to implement this pattern. It supports sharing between models of different structures and also across multiple data batches. Also you can update all shared variables with a single function call. You can create shared variables and shared variable arrays by calling the Random function on a shared variable where the generic type parameter is set to the element type of the random variable. You must pass a prior as the first argument. There is an optional second argument (set to true by default) which determines whether messages to batches are calculated by division (true - the default) or multiplication (false); the former is more efficient but may introduce round-off error.
The following example extends the simple Gaussian example so that the data is divided into two chunks. This first code fragment shows the model. In this fragment, the unknown mean and precision of the Gaussian are defined as shared variables. These are shared between the two chunks. The other variables and factors defined in the code are not shared.
Because both chunks share the same structure, a single Model object is created. Each Model object represents a model structure. In this case, we have two datasets ('chunks') using the same model structure. Notice that the data count for a given chunk is provided as a variable, since it will vary from chunk to chunk.
The shared variables are turned into ordinary variables in the context of a given Model by calling GetCopyFor. In this case, we create ordinary variables corresponding to the shared mean and precision, and use them to generate the data.
This next code fragment shows the inference. During inference, we cycle through each chunk, setting the appropriate chunk-specific variables (in this case, data and dataCount). The data and dataCount are set using the ObservedValue property. We then infer the variables using the InferShared method on the Model instance which takes care of extracting output messages to the shared variables from one batch, and creating the correct input messages to the shared variables for the next batch. For convergence, we perform multiple cycles through the batches.
We get the final marginal distribution over the shared variables by using the Marginal method. Note this does not initiate any inference. It simply returns the stored result from the computations above.

ST. LOUIS — While the youngest and oldest Panthers – goalie Tim Thomas and rookie Aleksander Barkov – deserved most of the media attention following a season-opening 4-2 victory over the Dallas Stars, coach Kevin Dineen singled out two defensemen who repeatedly used their bodies as human shields to prevent goals.
Of course, Thomas, 39, who was playing in his first game that mattered in more than 17 months, deserved the No. 1 Star post-game honor for notching 25 saves, several of the spectacular variety. However, that didn't include the 24 shots that never reached him as veteran defenseman Mike Weaver had six blocks, not to mention a battered face after he and defenseman Dmitry Kulikov stuck up for Thomas with their fists in simultaneous brawls in the first period.

As the Oyster Bay Fire Company and the Atlantic Steamer Fire Company discuss a possible merger, it would appear that both companies are on the same page, just agreeing to get there using different routes. The OBFD voted unanimously to merge and to begin discussions on the details, the ASFD voted unanimously not to merge but to form a committee to look into the details of a merger.
Atlantic Steamer Fire Company Chief Ty Jimenez said on Friday, May 27, that his company voted the first week of May, "unanimously against the merger. There was not one vote for it at this time. Part of the motion was to put forth a merger committee to explore the options." He said they don't want to be forced by outside voices to merge. "We want a cost analysis. We have a merger committee that will sit down with OBFD in the next 10 days, and come together – so we are not just forced to act."
He said it was a good vote in that there is now a committee formed. "It's got to be all worked out. I'm a taxpayer and I understand what people want - to save money - and I don't disagree. But we need to sit down and talk. There are a few variables involved."
Chief Jimenez said, "I'm chief until December, and I'm a businessman, and I see what happened with the school budget being voted down and I don't take that lightly. I didn't vote – as a chief, but there was a unanimous vote not to merge under pressure."
Chief Jimenez said they are already working on things to save money – "We combined our family day outing," he said. When asked about a combined installation, he indicated it can be something down the line.
"There are ways to cut corners and save costs that need to be discussed so we'll see where we go from here. But be sure, we want to continue the discussions," he said.
On Thursday, May 26, the Oyster Bay Fire Department had announced, "By an overwhelming majority, The Oyster Bay Fire Department has approved a motion to formulate an appropriate merger plan and to merge with the Atlantic Steamer Fire Company. Although finalizing the merger process involves approving a plan and both companies approving it by at least a two-thirds majority, the Oyster Bay Fire Department remains clearly committed to go forward.
"The membership of the Oyster Bay Fire Department maintains the highest level of respect for the traditions and legacy of both our department and the Atlantic Steamer Fire Co. It is that respect and dedication that causes us to work closely and effectively together every day to provide the high quality emergency services which the public has come to expect. The officers and members of the department look forward to meeting with the Atlantic Steamer Fire Company and to work together to consummate this merger," they concluded.
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto had asked the companies to tell him their decision by June 1. That was after the concept of a merger was first brought up at a town hearing by Peter MacKinnon, the attorney for both Cove Neck and Oyster Bay Cove.
At that time, Rosemary Bourne, the Oyster Bay Cove mayor said the it was about time for the merger.

Portion for Analysis: Approximately 15 grams
Kernels and pieces of wheat which, after bleaching, have discolored germs that are as dark or darker than shown.
Discolored germs that do not meet the minimum coverage requirement may be considered damage provided the degree of discoloration is greater than shown and the overall "prorated" appearance meets the minimum coverage and intensity level depicted. For example, when the degree of discoloration is twice that shown, only half of the germ area needs to be discolored.
Note: Seed coats that occasionally remain attached to the germ area after bleaching must be carefully removed. Scraping too deeply can destroy the evidence of damage and cause non-uniformity of interpretation.

Thanks for visiting our information site on ladies wallets! We have lots of great resources for finding
the best wallet, and the best deals, for your needs. A great wallet is not only practical, but can make a fun
fashion statement, too! Remember to check back often as we'll always be adding to the site.
There are now hundreds of ladies wallets available in the market as more and more people establish new demands
for the product. You can find wallets in a variety of brands, styles and sizes. It is important that you determine
your lifestyle and needs first, so that you can choose the right one that will suit you the best. You also have to
stay updated about the latest trends and models. Here are some tips on ordering online to get the best deals.
About Ladies Wallets
Ladies wallets are available in different styles, colors, shapes and sizes. There are various brands available
as well. You can get wallets for as low as one dollar. There are also very expensive designs made by signature
brands that cost a few hundred or even thousand dollars, depending on the detail and other features. Women have
their own unique preference when it comes to accessories. If you plan to stock on the different wallets, you have
to purchase the same style in various colors or the same color in different styles.
You can also choose to focus on a certain kind of material only, such as leather wallets or plastic wallets.
There are also wallets that feature unique trinkets and other accessories like semi-precious stones or expensive
metals like silver or gold. Wallets can come in a wide array of materials such as nylon or fabric. Choose the right
category that you are personally interested in and compare the differences between brands, styles and sizes.
Your Budget
When looking for ladies wallets, you should first consider your budget. You should set a limit to your expenses,
to avoid overspending. Some wallets can only cost anywhere between $1 and $20, while signature ones and rare
designs can range up to hundreds of dollars. You should determine the value and know why a certain product is
priced that way. Some of the accessories and features you will find might explain the increase in price, such as
gold plating, semi-precious stone accessories and excellent leather.
You can compare prices on the internet by visiting different online marketplaces. You will find some sources to
be very cheap. There are also a number of sources offering class A products, which feature the same style and
design but with minor faults. You may want to invest in these instead for the lower cost. The minor defects may
almost be invisible. Be on the lookout for promos and sales online to get more out of deals.
Getting Ladies Wallets
Talk to ladies wallet sellers online. Read the information provided carefully. You should also know how to
differentiate honest sellers from potential unscrupulous individuals. Get to know the seller first and ask some
questions regarding the product. You have to ask for important information, such as the source, materials used,
possible warranty and other available designs and colors. Always ask for recent and actual photos to see the
product at different angles. You can also view the FAQ page if there is one provided.
Research more on the kind of wallet you wish to buy. Read some reviews from past buyers to know the advantages
and disadvantages of owning such a product. You should also read more on the proper maintenance of ladies
wallets for it to last longer.

CNR NURSES: A Legacy of Leadership
School of Nursing
Message from the Dean
Leader, Mentor, Advocate
CNR nurses learn more than just the skills necessary to take care of patients. They are taught to be leaders, mentors, and advocates – for themselves, their patients, and other nurses. It's a legacy of leadership that stays with them throughout their careers.
"Leadership is a basic nursing competency. At the bedside or in the boardroom, nurses have to advocate and lead for patients and other nurses – it's the cornerstone of our practice," says Launette Woolforde, EdD(c), DNP, RN-BC, who received a post-master's certificate in nursing education at CNR's School of Nursing in 2003.
And she should know. With a master's, post-master's, and her second doctoral degree near completion, Woolforde's 18-year nursing career has spanned a variety of clinical and education positions, and she is currently the corporate director of nursing education for the North Shore LIJ Health System. Being a leader is part of Woolforde's daily experience now, but she traces her leadership roots to her time at CNR. "Fostering leadership ability in its students is one of the things CNR does very well," Woolforde says. "The faculty are exemplars of leadership and they create opportunities for students to gain experience and exposure to leadership through nurturing and supportive mentorship. I met Dr. Connie Vance, for example, when I was her post-master's student at CNR. In the 10 years since, we have developed a wonderful relationship, and her mentorship of me inspires me to mentor others."
Woolforde is not alone in understanding the benefit of a nursing education that encompasses leadership aspects – indeed, one of the characteristic definitions of the CNR nurse is his or her role as a leader and advocate for other nurses.
Leadership Starts in the Classroom
CNR's focus on nursing leadership begins in the classroom, and the lessons learned there extend far into the field.
"We introduce the concepts of leadership, mentoring, and networking in the curriculum," says Dr. Connie Vance, CNR professor of nursing and author of a new book,
Fast Facts for Career Success in Nursing: Making the Most of Mentoring in a Nutshell
. She points to the "Transition to Professional Practice and Leadership" courses. In this two-course sequence, senior students study leadership and management theories in relation to professional nursing practice, and then apply those principles in a variety of clinical settings.
"But while nurses are taught the concepts, principles, and basic skills of the profession in nursing school, when they step into the next stage and start their careers, the only way that they can adequately learn is through the caring mentorship of other nurses," Vance says.
"When it comes time to give your first injection or bathe a patient, or speak to family members of someone who is dying – those are not behaviors you learn in the classroom," says Catherine Graham SN'96, senior vice president of operations at St. Barnabas Hospital, Bronx, NY. "Sometimes it is on-the-job learning, but a lot of it is other nurses who teach you and protect you."
Graham recounts experiences where nurses have been put in unsheltered environments without any guidance from other nurses and, in a few years, she says, they are looking to leave the field. "How nurses take care of each other and nurture each other is a big deal," she says.
Vance concurs. Mentoring and advocacy in the field has been shown to prevent mistakes and dissatisfaction among new nurses, promote high quality safe clinical care, and can even boost the notoriously low retention rates for nurses' first jobs, she notes. "I used to believe that mentoring novice nurses was a nice thing to do; now I think it's absolutely essential," she explains.
And, because CNR is educating baccalaureate nurses, the focus on mentoring for leadership is even more crucial, says Dr. Deborah Hunt, assistant professor of nursing at CNR and a veteran nurse who spent 15 years in hospital-based leadership roles. "The baccalaureate nurse is looked to for leadership in hospital positions almost from day one. Even though they may be novice nurses, they have to be role models and oversee the work of ancillary help very early on in their careers," explains Hunt, who obtained a master's degree in nursing administration and completed an extensive review of the leadership literature in the development of her doctoral dissertation.
It's Not Easy Being Green
To help ease this transition from school into the demanding first stage of a nursing career, Vance and Hunt co-founded CNR's Nurse Advocacy Forum in April 2008. The Forum – whose members are senior CNR nursing students and new nursing alumni – meets four times a year, providing a vehicle for support, advocacy, networking, creative problem solving, and leadership development. It gives students and recent alumni an opportunity to learn from each other and from expert guest speakers.
Vance and Hunt are also documenting their experience with the Forum, collecting data and working to share their insights with other schools and nursing communities who are also interested in bridging that gap between school and practice. They were recently invited to share their work at the
International Research Network for Preceptorship and Mentorship sponsored by the University of Alberta, Canada. "Other schools are interested in emulating this work. It would be great to have national and international projects in this vein," Vance says.
"We have a lot of wonderful stories from the Forum," adds Hunt. "Students that were having difficulty with licensing exams or challenges finding and navigating their first positions tell us that the support they received from the Forum, or the inspiration from hearing one of our speakers, gave them the self confidence they needed to succeed. It really is a positive force in so many lives."
Woolforde is impressed by the group's focus on bridging the gap between student and professional nursing. "The Forum really helps the students get a picture of what the next few months and years – or whole careers – could look like through the eyes of living, breathing nurses working in the field," she explains. "That tangible is so critical."
Mentoring and advocacy in the field has been shown to prevent mistakes and dissatisfaction among new nurses, promote high-quality safe clinical care, and can even boost the notoriously low retention rates for nurses' first jobs.
Another tangible example of CNR's focus on leadership learning in action can be found in the CNR delegation that attended the International Council of Nurses (ICN) conference in Malta in early May. Along with Professors Vance and Hunt – who were invited to present on the work that they've done with the Nurse Advocacy Forum – and Woolforde, were two current CNR nursing students (undergraduate Shannon Magee Campbell and graduate student Susan Sakalian SAS'86, SN'93) supported by the Russel & Deborah Taylor Foundation Travel Scholarship.
"The ICN conference exposes participants to nursing on a global platform and allows them to see how nurses impact health around the world in capacities that transcend our familiar roles as caregivers," says Woolforde, who also presented her work at the ICN this year. "It is remarkable that these two CNR students were able to experience this – to learn about nurses leading media and health care; helping reduce low-birth weight and stillbirth rates in babies around the world, and leading and driving access, quality, and health. It is more enriching than any classroom experience, and bringing these students along was model behavior when you want to talk about leadership, advocacy, and mentorship."
Climbing the Ladder
As they go from novice nurses to veterans and into administrative or educational positions, CNR nurses keep the leadership lessons they learned at CNR close to their hearts. Graham, for example, worked her way up the ranks at St. Barnabas (from nurse to director of nursing to senior vice president of nursing to her current role as senior vice president running hospital operations) but has remained an advocate for nurses.
Watching some of the nurses under her charge struggle to balance their full-time jobs at the hospital while pursuing additional nursing degrees, she worked with CNR to develop a nursing degree program on-site at St. Barnabas. Starting with just 10 nurses, the program has just graduated its second cohort in the nursing and health care management tract. Instructors from CNR teach didactic classes at the hospital and together, they work to place the nurses in clinical rotations.
"When I was an adult learner, I found it very difficult to transition from work to school, and I wanted to make that easier for other nurses," Graham explains. "These nurses finish their shift and they go to our auditorium and the professor comes to them. It's a great way to advance the profession and help more nurses pursue their studies."
The fact that Graham initiated this program for other nurses is typical of the legacy of leadership that CNR instills in its nurses. Summing up the philosophy, Vance says, "We're building a strong, collegial network of nurses that have the confidence to find their first positions, move through the challenges of the early career stage, and then into leadership roles where they have the chance to mentor and influence other students and other nurses."
