The new edition will consist of the primary game, as well as all the three previously released add-ons. The PS4, Xbox One and PC versions will feature visual enhancements and multiplayer will support more players, whilst all versions will include fresh events and enemies amongst other things.
The game is a remake of Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War and has you taking on the role of a mercenary and choosing to fight for either England or France. The game might have large scale battles, but has very little in common with Koei Tecmo's own Warriors series and is a much more strategic affair. There's an all new Nightmare mode which sees the English and French fighting alongside each other to take on giants, dragons and demons and an evil Joan of Arc, this of course didn't really happen.]]>
It's called Power of Defiance and allows you to play as the female warrior Lithariel. There's also a Test of Defiance challenge mode, which tasks you with taking on Sauron's Warchiefs with restricted abilities and a new Rune, which gives you an extra chance to revive yourself.]]>
The DLC will bring Twilli Midna as a playable character, who uses the Mirror of Twilight as a weapon. Also included are two new costumes and an adventure map.]]>
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was a welcome new direction, adding an enjoyable pirate flavour to the familiar framework of Ubisoft's historically rich open world series. Freely sailing the Caribbean was a real revelation for the series, and it was so enjoyable that it was always going to be missed from future games in the franchise. Assassin's Creed: Unity on the other hand is somewhat of a return to the core of Assassin's Creed, as well as a welcome return to Europe for its backdrop.
The setting this time around is Paris during the French revolution, while our hooded assassin protagonist is Arno Dorian, a cocky, reasonably likeable but not particularly compelling hero, who is motivated by boring old revenge like Ezio and Connor were before him. At least Black Flag's Edward was something a bit different for the series. Back to Unity though, and along the way you'll meet important historical figures of the time period such as Napoleon Bonaparte and the Marquis de Sade, who are really quite wasted in their roles.
The story, as always, concerns the centuries long battle between the Assassins and Templars, and liberally plays with history and Arno's relationship with Templar Elise adds an interesting dynamic. It's not without its intrigue, but it's hard to follow and it takes a particularly sharp mind to remember how each character fits into the grand scheme of things.
Surprisingly, the much derided modern day sections are near nonexistent, and in its place you'll get to explore Paris in contrasting time periods on occasion, which can be fairly exciting and certainly more interesting than the boring modern day, but it would still be better to be just rooted to one time period for the entire game, particularly when it's so well executed.
Ubisoft's recreation of historical Paris is their most living, breathing and atmospheric setting yet. Dense crowds swarm around the streets, carrying out a variety of actions, such as protesting, brawling and such, which really brings to life the chaos of the period. It's just a shame that almost everyone speaks with a British accent, which is very much at odds with the authenticity elsewhere going on throughout the city.
The landmarks of Paris such as the Notre-Dame cathedral are stunning in scale and look beautiful, and, as always, you'll get to scale them. There's a greater abundance of buildings that you can go inside this time around, which grants a further layer of richness to the incredibly detailed city.
Being the first game to be built specifically for new generation consoles, the visuals are a big step up from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, with an increased level of detail, but this sadly comes at the cost of a smooth frame rate; a surprising problem given how rock solid the previous game was in that department and one that takes away somewhat from what is otherwise an aesthetically gorgeous game. Occasional bugs such as falling through the ground or getting stuck on objects also conspires to pull you out of this meticulously detailed world, but, from experience, these are more of an annoyance than anything else.
Navigation around the city is once again carried out through the series' familiar free running traversal system, though Ubisoft has finally given it some long needed attention. Like previous protagonists, Arno still has the tendency to not always do as you tell him to and there are still some unnatural animation transitions, but this time around you can move up and down buildings and objects, making for smoother movement, more control and less situations where you'll run up buildings and such accidentally. It is a welcome change that makes the game more pleasurable to play.
Combat meanwhile still has a focus on counters, but is more reliant on skill; there's a smaller window to reverse attacks, removing the instant kill attack chains. It's reasonably satisfying but still not on the level of similar accessible combat systems like the Batman Arkham series or Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
Stealth, as always, allows you to blend in amongst crowds, and like the recent Splinter Cell games, if an enemy sees you, you'll be informed of where he last saw you, which you can use to your advantage. Crouching has finally been introduced, and the eagle vision can only be used in brief spurts before it has to go through a brief cooldown process. The AI meanwhile is dim and sadly not much of a step up from past games in the series.
Loadouts are a fresh addition to the mixture and is the place to go to purchase and equip weapons and attire. Arno is able to have a gun equipped as well as a melee weapon, which are split into speedy one handed weapons like swords, long spears and such and heavy axes and the like. There is also plenty of armour on offer, which not only changes Arno's appearance, but also enhances him in certain areas, increasing his capabilities at stealth, fighting and using eagle vision, and allowing you to carry more items at once.
The game introduces a skill tree to the series. This is split into stealth, health, melee and ranged combat, granting you the opportunity to mould Arno to suit your play style. So if you want to play in a sneaky manner for example, you can unlock things like smoke bombs or double assassinations, or for the more direct approach you can unlock heavy attacks for your weapons.
Story missions are a mixture of stealth and action, though this time around it's weighted towards the more sneaky side. Assassination missions are more plentiful and offer a greater degree of freedom, with multiple routes, as well as each one beginning with you looking for opportunities to make your job easier, for instance bribing a window cleaner to open up a window, granting you a good access point. It's certainly not even close to being a Hitman rival in terms of freeform stealth, but it's undoubtedly still a satisfying advancement for the series.
The side missions on the other hand often have a greater amount of variety and depth compared to past iterations of the series. Amongst other things, there's chests to open, viewpoints to scale (to reveal things on the map) murder mysteries and riddles to solve. Paris is positively filled with things to do. True, not all of it is particularly engaging, but none of it is terrible either, and it's a world that is so beautifully realized that it will be a hard one to leave for many.
In terms of multiplayer, the excellent and inventive competitive modes have been discarded and co-op play has been introduced. This allows up to four people to team up with one another. Team work is strongly encouraged here, and skills which benefit the entire team further highlights this fact. You can freely explore the city together and take part in missions. Provided you have a team that is willing to work together efficiently, it's a great new addition that grants a fresh dimension to the series, but also mercifully never feels as if it's encroaching too much on the traditional Assassin's Creed experience in the way that many feared it would.
Assassin's Creed: Unity has an unfortunate lack of polish, but makes some important steps forward for the series. It's less a revolution and more of a refinement however, and fundamentally the same game with much of the same problems that have long blighted the series. It's not enough to prevent it from being a strong and content rich game though, which also happens to have one of gaming's most absorbing and engaging locations to explore.
The advertising tag line for Terraria is DIG, FIGHT, EXPLORE, BUILD. For many gamers that will draw an instant connection with the highly successful Minecraft. But can this 2D side-scrolling game with RPG overtones live up to that comparison?
The first step should be to play the tutorial. This does a good job of introducing the key concept. Using tools including a pickaxe and sword, the player manipulates the environment to create shelter, craft items and explore the world. Blocks of dirt and stone are dug up from the landscape and used to build houses. Trees are chopped down to provide wood, as well as acorns to grow new trees; wood is essential for many items including doors and platforms. Metal ores are mined to forge stronger weapons and tools.
At the start of a new game, the player can create a character. This takes ten simple steps, from choosing the gender to the colour and style of hair. Naming and saving the character opens up the world creation menu. The choice here is the size of world to explore, with the game generating a new landscape each time. The sizes are small, medium and large, with a recommendation to start small until you are more familiar with the game. Even a small world will take a long while to explore everywhere. There are save slots for up to 8 worlds, with each world featuring a similar set of environments (including desert, jungle and the spreading Corruption the player must combat later in the game).
Online play can be open to anyone or by invite only. Offline play is designed for a solo player, or splits the screen for up to four players on the same console. Multiplayer can feature optional PvP combat (player vs. player) and teams, but it is more fun to explore together. The game is governed by a day-night cycle, which takes 20 minutes to complete. It is safer to explore by day, as nasty creatures spawn overnight, but falling stars – used to earn manna for crafting magical potions – are only found at night. There is also the scary but rare occurrence of the Blood Moon to survive.
Once a house has been built and the first NPC known as the guide has moved in, the priority is to craft stronger weapons and armour before delving deeper into the world. This is achieved by building a furnace and anvil to go with the basic workbench, opening up more crafting options. In the caves and tunnels magical items are found – crystal hearts increase the player's health, and the shadow orbs summon the bosses that need to be defeated (and should only be tackled by well-equipped characters). Water is also a hazard above and below ground, with the player's actions able to alter its flow.
At first glance the graphics appear simplistic, but the procedural generation of the landscapes necessitates this. The day-night cycle and the darkness underground (necessitating a light source) make for some clever lighting effects. Enemy types have some basic animation but are easy to distinguish, and the creation tools make each character distinct. The built-in map is revealed piece by piece as the player explores and shows the vast scale of the landscape. Sound is also relatively simple with basic effects, but fits the action.
The underlying RPG elements show in the damage numbers appearing onscreen and the dialogue with characters. As tasks are completed and upgrades earned, more NPCs will move in. While the guide is initially helpful when the game is first started, a to-do list or mission scroll would help players decide what to do next. The overall interface and inventory control can appear a little daunting at first, but binding items to the D-pad makes them easier to access.
The PS4 and Xbox One version of the game includes a wealth of new content consisting of new crafting materials, items and such as well as some fresh world variations and a more generously proportioned sandbox, easily making it the definitive version of the game.
Minecraft created a niche and Terraria sits comfortably in it. The freedom to explore is tempered by the need to build a character, and it will take a large chunk of time to exhaust everything the game has to offer. To some it may appear to be a grind, to others the chance to enjoy the process. There is a lot of game here for the price, and a good example of a downloadable title that may have struggled to find an audience on the retail shelves.
Call of Duty is immense, a true juggernaut of the gaming industry that has now been running long enough to feel as it's running out of ideas somewhat. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare however has a new lead developer in Sledgehammer Games, a fresh setting, a new engine, some genuinely fresh ideas for the franchise, and it's the first time that the game was developed over a three year cycle.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare takes place in the distant future, where soldiers go to war in suits that grant them superhuman capabilities. It features both the voice and likeness of Oscar winning actor, Kevin Spacey who turns in a great performance as Jonathon Irons, CEO of Atlas, a private military company, and all the less high profile people like Troy Baker as the protagonist Private Jack Mitchell do an excellent job too. The story is reasonably entertaining nonsense, with a memorable villain that 007 would really be in his element hunting down. Special mention must go to the facial capture, which really brings the characters to life in the cut scenes, adding a layer of emotion to the story that previously wasn't there.
The shooting mechanics are as satisfying as usual, though the guns are uninspired (consisting of the usual handguns, submachine guns, Sniper Rifles and Rocket Launchers) the advanced capabilities of protagonist Mitchell on the other hand makes this one of the more refreshing entries in the series yet. Mitchell can leap huge distances, has a grappling hook and 6 different variations of grenades of which you can switch between at will. Many of these abilities you're only granted the use of at certain points though, which is a bit of a missed opportunity of offering a more freeform and even more unique take on Call of Duty.
The campaign is as bombastic as always, with lots of lavish set pieces that often see lots of things being blown to pieces. The set pieces are excellently executed, but are short on imagination and are essentially other takes on those from previous games and it's for this reason that in the last few years, they haven't quite had the capacity to dazzle in the same way that they once did. It's nonetheless a beautifully paced campaign with a satisfying amount of variation, sometimes shifting between action and stealth in what feels like the blink of an eye
With this being the second Call of Duty game for the new generation of consoles, along with the three year development cycle it all looks better than ever. Lighting is beautiful and authentic, the framerate of the Xbox One version generally retains a fluid 60fps, and everything looks lavishly detailed and often the real generational leap that Call of Duty: Ghosts failed to deliver.
Efficient play in the campaign such as killing a certain amount of enemies, headshots, grenade kills, finding laptops and such will reward you with points, which in between missions you can spend on upgrades, consisting of the likes of additional battery power (so that you're able to make use of your suit abilities more often) and additional health or amounts of grenades that you can carry at a time. It doesn't really feel as it has that great of a bearing on the experience, but it is still a nice idea for the series all the same that will hopefully be expanded on in the future.
It's the multiplayer environment where the new traversal capabilities are shown off in the best light, offering the biggest change to multiplayer in terms of mobility for years. Boost jumping and dodging around the maps makes this the most dramatic change to the multiplayer component since Modern Warfare shook things up.
Map design is strong with plenty of possibilities open to you, more than ever in fact due to your abilities. You can leap large distances to reach areas that you previously wouldn't be able, to get to an advantageous position or make a dramatic escape when you're wounded. You can also equip additional abilities on your suit allowing you to equip things like a shield, invisibility and such, which can really help out at times.
The usual satisfying upgrade system is present and correct and will, as always, see you unlocking weapons, armour and such as you rise through the levels. There's also a new loot system, which sees you earning weapons, XP bonuses, armour pieces and such on occasion from supply drops, granting a further level of compulsion to the multiplayer component.
The Pick 10 system from Call of Duty: Black Ops II is back, but has became Pick 13, offering more options. You're granted 13 points which can be used in your loadouts and weapons, perks, abilities and such all cost one point to assign. It's a very flexible system, that allows you to mould your character to fit your play style.
Modes consist of the usual deathmatch variations, Capture the Flag and such. Hardpoint, (it's like King of the Hill for those not in the know) which hasn't been featured in the series since Call of Duty: Black Ops has been revived. Momentum is essentially the War mode under a different title and has you and your team attempting to capture five points in a certain order. New mode Uplink is sort of like Capture the Flag combined with Basketball, and it makes for an enjoyable mixture. Exo-Survival is like the zombie and ghost modes from past entries in the series which tasks you and your teammates with taking on increasingly tougher waves of enemies.
Loud, brash, spectacular and comprehensive in its options Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is typical Call of Duty, but also is the most refreshing the series has felt in years. It isn't as much as a shakeup for the series as modern Warfare was and it's easy to feel that there is some missed potential here of taking the series even further in a fresh direction. Nevertheless, it's certainly the most inventive the series has been in a long time and might well have enough fresh things on offer to get lapsed players interested again.
Borderlands and its sequel mixed several different ingredients together to make a heady brew – the unique graphic style, the loot drops and the sci-fi first person firefights. Now Gearbox has entrusted the franchise to 2K Australia, who have created a new story that fits between the first two instalments.
The story of the Pre-Sequel starts after the events of Borderlands 2, with the Vault Hunters capturing Athena the gladiator. She then recounts her story of meeting Jack on Helios station – the man destined to become the Antagonist of the second game. With Jack's help Athena and her colleagues escape Helios by moonshot (as in, being fired from a giant cannon) to Elpis.
It is here that the major new elements of the Pre-Sequel come into play. New weapons include lasers and elemental effects; this includes cryogenic abilities that can freeze enemies in their tracks. And as with any FPS explosive barrels litter the environment, augmented this time with shock barrels (electrocuting anything nearby after it activates) and cryobarrels (freezing them).
But perhaps the biggest change is the low gravity environment of the moon and the need to find oxygen supplies. The player obtains an O2-Kit, allowing them to breathe more freely. This can be topped up in buildings with sealed atmospheres, at generator units and the many vents on the surface. The O2-Kit also opens up new tactics and combat strategies. Jumping in the low gravity, the jump button can be pressed again to give a boost and increase the hang time (effectively a double jump). In combat, the player can use this boost and then press B to perform a "butt stomp"dropping to the surface rapidly and causing damage to any enemy caught underneath.
There are four different characters for players to choose from, which can be upgraded with new skills and weapons. Athena the Gladiator is an assassin, using her shield to protect against attacks. Nisha the Lawbringer develops stronger attacks and healing abilities. Wilhelm is an Enforcer, augmenting himself with cybernetic parts as the game progresses and finally Claptrap the robot upgrades and offers new skills to the accompanying characters. Some of these will be familiar to those who have played the other games and their DLC. Earning XP (experience points) from killing enemies and completing tasks increases the character level, rewarding the player with an extra skill point for each level gained. These can be spent on the skill tree, offering different ways to upgrade and progress through the game. Completing challenges – from simply opening chests to killing enemies with certain weapons – will award additional "badass tokens" which are spent to improve the basic stats and abilities.
Built on the existing Borderlands engine, the stylish graphics impress with detailed characters and the unique style of cel shading. Enemies include the fire breathing kraggans (larger specimens spawn smaller versions on death) and the leaping lunatics (who will butt stomp the player when close enough). These enemies level up and become stronger as the player progresses, keeping the challenge going. It is a shame there is not more variety displayed in enemy types and tactics. Discovering the most effective weapons takes time, but it can be satisfying to pick up a stronger gun among the large amount of loot dropped.
Choosing to tell the story in flashback can make it slightly confusing for the player to follow the narrative. Both the "future" characters and major NPCs the player meets talk, appearing as a small face at the top of the display. But it's not always clear whether this is a comment from the future or a taunt from an enemy. The speech is clear and fun, filled with quirky humour (and Australian accents betraying the origins of the developer).
The major problem is the difficulty level. After the tutorial formed by Helios station, the major missions and side quests fluctuate wildly in complexity and the boss fights represent large spikes in difficulty. It is therefore trial and error to discover winning tactics – so it is fortunate that the player respawns close to the last place of death, ready to try again. Even with the fast travel stations, there is a lot of backtracking across the moon to complete objectives and turn in for the rewards. Grinding to level up and discover the best weapons may either appeal to the player (especially those that have played Borderlands before) or become a real chore. The story does its best to drive the player forward but ultimately comes across as lacking in new ideas.
The Pre-Sequel joins a long list of sequels and spin-offs that could not hope to live up to a superior original. Given the choice to stick with last generation hardware, the next instalment will have to impress and offer a lot of innovation to keep players interested.
Note: this review is based on a single player experience; due to time
restraints it was not possible to take part in any co-op sessions. It is
also the view of a player who has not experienced the original Borderlands

Arsenal set for another United battle as Vlaar ready for January transfer 0
Yesterday's Premier League clash between Arsenal and Masnchester United was being billed by some as the battlebetween two beleagured and injury hit defences and which one of the makeshift back lines could cope the better.
As we know, Arsenal lost that battle thanks to some more sucidal defending and some bad luck combined with our poor finishing and De Gea's keeping at the other. And United have a number of first choice defenders due to come back off the injury list soon, so you would have to say our need for reinforcements in January is greater.

Science visualisation at its best
How to display scientific data in a way that both inspires and respects the science? Not that science is ugly, but it's definitely not trivial. Some images captivate us naturally, some, less so.
One of the biggest challenges is probably to display abstract, mathematical things with properties as obscure as fractional dimensions. This was first achieved a few decades ago with the beautiful fractals. Seeing fractals was one of the things that made me go study science. I would drool over Julia sets and admire the details of computer-generated mountain ranges.
Now, those same fractals are being imaged in three dimensions – and how beautiful they are!
These are called Mandelbulbs. Here is one example.
The guys who did this spent a couple of years working on the problem. In fact, it is really difficult. Most attempts would render something pretty but it wouldn't be fractal. That is, you couldn't zoom in indefinitely and keep seeing structure. Several people tried, building on each others' attempts and eventually they came up with a solution. It seemed to work. They looked closer, and yes, it did work… almost.
But now, how to visualise it? This is new mathematics. You can't just feed it into some 3D rendering software to produce an image of. It's like asking Google to translate between R'lyehian and Klingon.
So the Mandelbulbians, in true geek fashion, wrote their own ray tracing routines and this is what resulted in these breathtaking images. Sheer eye candy. Our eyes love it, our brains have no idea what's going on.
It doesn't get much more obscure when it comes to understanding what this means, but it is really beautiful! This is visualisation at its best.
Shapes and colours, opposed and complementary, in a time of transition.
I love this photograph. It may not be particularly striking but it is one of those that captures everything that I mean to say with it. It changes focus and purpose depending on how you see it.
Red! On a green background, big red shapes take over the image. Variations in colour and intensity are the game these shapes play. The unit is the leaf. It is large. It is macroscopic. It is a rough mosaic.
Green! Between the big clumsy red blobs peek the sharp, thin blades of grass. But you can't see them everywhere, they are only sharp in that shallow band that is in focus. They are the secretly weaved fabric of the image, the fibre, the straw. A canvas of grass.
Two complementary colours, equally bright and intense, whose textures are equally opposed. Yet in balance. And I see depth. It looks as if this carpeting goes on forever. From the top right to the bottom left, and that dark edge at the top, it looks like if we were to go far enough away from the surface, from the green canvas, some large face would emerge from the mosaic. But here, we only get a glimpse of it. Up to us to guess what it suggests.
And then the wind blows and draws another face.

Land Use
This course focuses on the pragmatic (rather than theoretical) aspects of contemporary land use law and policy, including: nuisance as a land use tool and foundation for modern land use law; use and abuse of the "police power" (the legal basis for land use control); zoning flexibility; vested property rights, development agreements, and takings; redevelopment; growth control; and direct democracy. We explore how land use decisions affect environmental quality and how land use decision-making addresses environmental impacts. Special Instructions: All graduate students from other departments are encouraged to enroll, and no pre-requisites apply. Student participation is essential. Roughly two-thirds of the class time will involve a combination of lecture and classroom discussion. The remaining time will engage students in case studies based on actual land use issues and disputes. Elements used in grading: Attendance, class participation, writing assignments, and final exam. This course is cross-listed with Earth Systems 238.

I was looking for some info for my family when I ran across your posting. I live in Shelby County, Ohio. I checked in one of my books and found that James H. Monrow married Elizabeth Duffin on Sept. 8, 1853. Marriage was performed by Andrew Waucop, Minister. A copy of the Marriage Certificate should be available from the Shelby county Probate Court. It will be listed in Book 3 Page 364.
I do not know if they take requests by phone or mail but it can't hurt to try. They have been doing some remodeling in the records office, not sure it they are done. If you get really desperate I can go there myself and make a copy for you for a reasonable fee. My email is email@example.com
Good Luck,

The Machete is a relatively powerful and fast melee weapon in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. In GTA Vice City, the machete is considered heavy, disallowing the player the ability to sprint with the weapon. When an opponent is struck and not killed with the machete they produces a larger blood trail than the Meat Cleaver, with two direct hits will kill them (or one hit, when swung in stabbing motion). The machete is a generally good all-around choice for your melee slot in the absence of the Chainsaw. The Machete is styled not after the usual Brazilian straight-grip, large blade variety used for clearing brush, but the British Gurkha and Indian Gorkha Regiment's Khukri fighting knife, which is a fearsome weapon in and of itself (in its "stories" renditions).
Grand Theft Auto: Vice CityEdit
- Washington Beach, Vice Beach - Spawns on the eastern sidewalk off the Starfish Island bridge leading to Washington Beach.
- Washington Beach, Vice Beach - Available to buy from Bunch of Tools after completion of Treacherous Swine for $100.
- Little Havana, Vice City Mainland - Available to buy from Screw This after completion of Phnom Penh '86 for $100.
- Some strippers at the Pole Position Strip Club are armed with machetes, as well as the woman behind the counter.
- It can be dropped by three Haitians gang members during the mission Trial By Dirt.
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City StoriesEdit
- The Machete in this game is unobtainable outside missions and can only be found in the hands of criminals during the Vigilante side mission. A Yakuza gang member is also seen using this weapon during the mission Cash in Kazuki's Chips but there's no way to keep it because the player switches to a Katana automatically later on in the mission.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City StoriesEdit
- Little Havana, Vice City Mainland - On the middle basketball court in a Little Havana neighborhood.
- Stonewall J's, Little Havana, Vice City Mainland - Available to buy from the shop for $100.
- In Grand Theft Vice City Stories, the machete resembles the Naga Dao.
- A larger version of the Machete can be found in any Ammu-Nation in GTA V, however it can't be used by the player.
- Unlike the Katana, the Machete cannot be used to decapitate an opponent, despite its deadly power.

Roger Simon: Profiling school shooters and assassins is futile
If only it were that easy.
Robert A. Fein is a forensic and national security psychologist. He has pioneered in the field of threat assessment. He worked for more than 20 years with the Secret Service and co-directed two major studies, one focusing on assassination and the other on school attacks. He left the Secret Service about 10 years ago and is now on the faculty of the University of Massachusetts Medical School and the Harvard Medical School.
"Early in the 1990s, my colleague, Secret Service Agent Bryan Vossekuil, and I were asked to do an operational study of assassination," he told me, "a study that might help Secret Service agents prevent attacks on those it protects.
"We studied 83 persons involved in 74 attacks and near-attacks from 1949 to 1996. We interviewed 20 of them. Their targets were persons of prominent public status: Presidents, other Secret Service protectees, governors, major Hollywood stars, even baseball players."
Fein and Vossekuil talked to people whom history has forgotten and some whom it may never forget, like Sirhan Sirhan, who assassinated Robert Kennedy in 1968. But did these killers and would-be killers have common demographic backgrounds or psychological traits that could lead to a "profile" that law enforcement could use?
"For many years, people thought perhaps we could find a profile of assassins, attackers, school shooters," Fein said. "After Columbine, many thought that there was a 'profile' of a school shooter: a depressed, alienated, male teenager."
But there was no profile. Fein and Vossekuil found shooters who did well in school and others who did poorly. Some had friends; others did not. Some had disciplinary problems, and others didn't.
"When we teach this (to law enforcement agents)," Fein said, "we say that there is no descriptive, demographic or psychological profile of a school shooter. But let's just imagine that there is a profile. The profile is of a Caucasian male between 14 and 17 who dresses in clothes that grown-ups think are a bit weird, who is not doing well in school, who is grumpy much of the time, and who has problems in his social relationships. Does anyone know a kid like that?"
Yeah, just about everyone.
"So, if there was a profile - and there is not - the profile would not be useful in identifying potential school shooters because so many kids would fit the profile," Fein said. "And very, very few of these kids would ever be a school shooter."
The same dynamic is true for other killers. "Too many persons fit any profile of assassins and terrorists for a profile to be useful in figuring out who is likely to act," Fein said. "Plus, a given assassin or terrorist may not fit a profile."
All presidential assassins have been male, for example. But in 1975 both Lynette Fromme and Sara Jane Moore, two women, broke the "profile" by attacking Gerald Ford in separate assaults. An assassination profile would not have identified them in advance.
Threat assessment, on the other hand, searches for "pre-attack" behaviors of people who have come to the attention of law enforcement. According to Fein, pre-attack behaviors by potential assassins or terrorists might include making efforts to find out where a target is or might be, deciding what kind of weapon to use, obtaining weapons, investigating what kinds of security might be present at a site where a target might be and deciding whether or not to try to escape.
If some of this seems obvious, some of it is. But it also has proven effective, though Fein hastens to add that threat assessment does not "predict" future violence, which is notoriously difficult to predict. What it does do is assess how far a person is down a pathway to violence.
In terms of domestic terrorism, a person who has extreme ideas will not necessarily ever act on them. "But if someone engages in pre-attack behavior, such as researching how to make a bomb, concern might grow," Fein said. "If the person tries then to buy ball bearings, concern would be increased because it appears that they are moving on a path toward mounting an attack."
Another threat assessment expert I interviewed who has worked with high government security agencies for many years told me: "We will never have enough agents to watch everyone who makes threats on the President. This was especially true during the administration of George W. Bush and now is true during the administration of Barack Obama. Threat assessment allows us to identify the ones to be most worried about."
The same is true for bombers and other terrorists.
"We have encouraged protectors and investigators to examine a subject's motives and planning capacity," Fein said. "Is there information that suggests a person is on a path to attack? If so, where is the person on the path? How fast is he or she moving? And what needs to be done to stop them?"

CEO Louis V. Gerstner Jr.'s memoir about the extraordinary turnaround of IBM and his transformation of the company into the industry leader of the computer age - the great American business story of our time. When Louis V. Gerstner became CEO of IBM in 1993, shares had slumped and the company was on the verge of collapse. Hired for his successful management of RJR Nabisco and American Express, Gerstner had no background in technology, but during his seven-year chairmanship, he transformed the company into the leading force of the computer age. In his frank, direct voice, Gerstner recalls the obstacles he faced: the plans to fragment the company, the inconsistent global policies, the stodgy white-shirt hierarchy and inter-departmental competitiveness and the rapidly declining sales. Within months of joining IBM, Gerstner presented his bold and controversial business strategy.Punitive towards office politics, he revolutionised the company from within, altering an entire corporate culture, divesting billions of dollars in unneeded assets and transforming IBM from a fractured, process-driven business into a nimble, customer-driven enterprise able to respond quickly to the volatile technology market and face down Microsoft and Intel in the internet era. Revealing his tactics step by step, Gerstner spins an engaging narrative that takes the reader behind the curtain into the unbelievable mess he inherited and into the office and mind of a CEO facing the challenge of a lifetime.
