The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Yemen: Terror suspect Anwar al-Awlaki killed
(CBS News) Yemen's Defense Ministry claimed Friday that Anwar al-Awlaki,
a radical Islamic preacher believed to be a high-ranking member of al
Qaeda's franchise in the region, has been killed.
Al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen born in New Mexico, has been linked to al Qaeda
in the Arabian Peninsula's (AQAP) attempted bombing of a U.S. passenger
jet over Detroit on Christmas day, 2009, and is thought to be a leader of
the group.
U.S. officials consider him a most-wanted terror suspect, and added his
name last year to the kill or capture list - making him a rare American
addition to what is effectively a U.S. government hit-list.
A statement from Yemen's foreign press office said the al Qaeda suspect
"was targeted and killed 8 KM (about 5 miles) from the town of Khashef in
the Province of Jawf, 140KM (about 80 miles) east of the Capital Sana'a."
There have been previous reports claiming al-Awlaki's death, but they
turned out to be erroneous. The U.S. government has yet to confirm
Friday's claim by the Yemenis.
Al-Arabiya television network cited local tribal sources as saying
suspected U.S. drone aircraft - which are known to operate in Yemen -
fired two missiles Friday at a convoy of vehicles believed to be carrying
al-Awlaki and his guards.
CBS News' Khaled Wassef reports that Al-Awlaki was reported dead following
U.S. air strikes on southern Yemen in December 2009 and November 2010. He
was also the target of a U.S. drone attack that killed two al Qaeda
operatives in southern Yemen on May 5, 2011.
Wassef reports that al-Awlaki last appeared in a video released online in
August 2010.
Yemen has risen in recent years to the top of the threat list for U.S.
security officials - with AQAP seen as the most active branch of the
global terror network in planning attacks against the U.S. homeland.
Al-Awlaki is believed to be a prominent member in the group, taking a role
in the planning of actual terror plots, in addition to his role as a
religious adviser and counselor to other members.
He reportedly met directly with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the 19-year-old
Nigerian who attempted to blow up the flight to Detroit in 2009, when the
young man traveled for training to Yemen.
Al-Awlaki's voluminous online preaching, in both video and print form, is
also thought to have inspired Ft. Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, who made email
contact with the preacher before carrying out his attack.

U.S. Born Terror Boss Anwar Al-Awlaki Killed
Published September 30, 2011
| FoxNews.com
SANAA, Yemen - The U.S.-born terror mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki has
been killed, Fox News confirms.
Awlaki was killed with several other suspected al Qaeda operatives,
the Yemeni defense ministry said. The statement did not elaborate on
the circumstances of Awlaki's death.
However, tribal sources told AFP that Awlaki was killed in an air
strike which hit two vehicles in Marib province, an al Qaeda
stronghold in eastern Yemen early Friday.
The 40-year-old, who was born in New Mexico, was linked to the 2009
Christmas Day "underwear bomber" plot -- a narrowly foiled bid to
blow up a passenger jet approaching Detroit.
He was also linked to the failed Times Square bomb attempt in May
last year and the November 2009 Fort Hood shooting, in which 13
people were killed by a gunman at the US Army base.
Awlaki was a major target for the US following the Obama
administration's authorization last year of CIA and military
attempts to kill him.
His death follows an unsuccessful attempt on his life on May 5. In
that attack, US aircraft followed and fired missiles at a truck in
which the terror boss was traveling.
The attack came just days after the successful raid on a compound in
Abbottabad, Pakistan which killed al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden.

When I speak with jurors, they sometimes ask whether I have ever been called for jury service. The answer is yes, many times. I've been summoned for service and served as a juror while working as an attorney, as a trial court judge, and as an appellate justice. Even Chief Justices are called to serve, and we do.
Jury service is the responsibility of all qualified citizens, but it also is an opportunity for us to participate directly in our system of justice and contribute to our communities. Trial by jury is one of the fundamental ideals of American democracy; serving as jurors reminds us that these ideals exist only as long as individual citizens are willing to uphold them.
Still, no matter how worthwhile, jury service makes demands on our time, and our courts continue to make improvements to jury service to make it as convenient and manageable as possible.
Whether this is your first time being summoned or you are an experienced juror, you may have questions about jury service; this web site answers some of the most commonly asked questions. Please check your summons for detailed instructions on service in your local court or visit your local court's website.
If you are selected to serve, my hope is that you will find your service to be interesting and rewarding, as most jurors do.
Thank you for your service.
Hon. Tani Cantil-Sakauye
Chief Justice of California

Recently, stakeholders met to discuss and plan fundraising strategies to build and equip the center.
"Things like this take time but I am extremely grateful to have such an excellent group of individuals who are dedicated to the cause of cancer prevention. Without the support of various donors, this project would not be possible," said Freddie White-Johnson, founder and president of FLHCF.
One stakeholder suggested involving governmental entities and rallying the support of other cancer foundations.
"Stakeholders are highly essential to the foundation. They render their time and expertise," she added.
The speakers for the forum were Dr. Alfio Rausa, vice president of the FLHCF, and Gordon Cannon, vice president of research for the FLHCF.
"The purpose of this forum was to share ideas and receive validation on a few suggestions. The Fannie Lou Hamer Cancer Foundation is a wonderful organization and its purpose is what makes it outstanding. The resource center is the second largest project for the foundation. The first project is cancer prevention," said Cannon.
Cannon presented findings from a recent study that outlined cancer disparities in the United States among various races.
"The disparities cannot be explained genetically and in my opinion the disparity can only be explained through various forms of cancer prevention care. It is wonderful to have individuals to do studies such as this but the study primarily focused on the 41 largest cities in the nation and the Mississippi Delta is not one of them," he added.
Cannon said he is very pleased with the work of the foundation because it aids in changing the trend in studies conducted about cancer prevention in the Mississippi Delta.
"In the name of the foundation, I work across the state of Mississippi to provide individuals with knowledge and free medical exams. Cancer does not discriminate on the basis of gender or race. It can affect anyone, and that is why I am dedicated to aid in the prevention or early detection of cancer among individuals who live in rural communities," said Johnson.
According to Johnson, the foundation was formed to decrease the risk of cancer and to lower the death rates of cancer patients in the Mississippi Delta.
"We are committed to fighting and developing solutions to address cancer health disparities and we are working to construct a building that will offer cancer patients information and solutions to copping with cancer," added Johnson.
Rausa said he attributes the success of the foundation to Johnson's diligence and hard work.
"I know that the construction of the resource center may take some time but Mrs. Johnson works earnestly and I know she is going to do all that she can to make sure that the building is constructed," added Rausa.
"She is so dedicated to this project and she is working very hard to make this all possible. Mrs. Johnson has even assisted me with several projects and we are really lucky to have such a dedicated person that is working to combat a very serious issue," he continued.
After stakeholders discussed an array of fundraising strategies, Tallahatchie County Assistant Warden Dwight Fondren stood up and said, "The inmates and I take great pride in the community."
"We are in the community and we are impacted by what happens in the community. With that being said, we want to make sure that the foundation continues its efforts. I would like to donate $5,000 to the foundation on behalf of the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility," said Fondren.
Johnson stood up, with tears in her eyes, and said, "Thank you so much, I was not expecting this."
"The money will be used to help build the resource center in Ruleville and aid low-income individuals in the Delta that are in need of mammograms. Sometimes I am amazed at how passionate people are about the foundation. This is a blessing," she added.
According to Cannon, the foundation's headquarters is a grass roots project but he is certain that it will happen.
"With a person like Freddie spear heading this project, I am confident that it will be completed. I have been involved with the foundation now for two years and it is just a remarkable entity. I am in it for the long haul," he added.
Johnson said she challenges everyone to become a legacy and be a hero. Reach one, teach one, save one," she added.
The Fannie Lou Hamer Cancer Foundation is a 501(C)3 non-profit, volunteer awareness, independent, community-supported charitable organization dedicated to the eradication of cancer in Mississippi, particularly in the Mississippi Delta, through education, support services, research, and advocacy.

So, let's forget for a minute that some of us (me, for instance) are desperately hoping that the general vehicles of the Imperial Guard make it into the first book, while several others are hoping they skip it; how might the book deal with human fragility vs big guns? What mechanics might be employed to save the PC Guardsman from meeting the messy fate his nameless colleagues next to him will? I've never played Deathwatch, which is the set that seems to most incorporate ground vehicles on a scale with infantry objectives. I wrote a thread on DW for how might one destroy a tank, without getting killed, but now I am just wondering what will save the PCs from a single shot of the looted Leman Russ battle cannon? Whether a party of Space Marines can take a Defiler or not, they aren't Guardsmen, so I am wondering how Humans might fare when the "best tank in the Guard" rolls in.
Looking at many of the vehicles, their weapons seem to be mostly infantry-scale, mounted on an armored vehicle, protecting the operator from return fire. A person could survive a hit from a multi-laser, maybe, or a lascannon, and certainly some of the pintle-bolter/stubbers, but even Space Marines, with their excessive durability, excellent armor, and such would be hard-pressed to survive a hit from a battle cannon, or heaven help them, a Basilisk's earthshaker. I don't think Fate recharges faster than Earthakers are loaded, so I'm not sure how much help that will be. My guess is that the Guardsmen are going to be around the power level of a Dark Heresy character, or maybe between that and a RT character, at best. This means that, as soon as the vehicle rolls into range, the player might need to dig into their folder for the third backup character that they made for the night.
So, some of this might just be me over-elaborating, but what are some ideas that might save the PCs, leaving the vehicles the efficient asset that they are, but not at the expense of players having to hide from the enemy's vehicles the whole encounter? I assume Size might help, with an Enormous vehicle trying to fire with a penalty at a regular sized person, and if the game gives the character the protection of another vehicle, or maybe a Magnitude, for being in a horde, they might be able to survive, but a small group, say a Vet squad, might not have any of these to fall back on. What are people's thoughts, and some other ideas, for surviving the gauntlet?
As an unrelated second, does Only War have an official release date, yet? I went to Amazon, and it said a date for preorder, but it also still lists it as a DH supplement, so some updating might not hurt. I know there's a Con involved, I think GenCon, but I don't know when that is.

I guess if you were generous, you could consider it a win for advertising the product by having the bins on display in the front entryway.
The brand name was getting some good traffic, right?
I wasn't feeling so generous when I found the real Lil' Snappers meant for those bins buried elsewhere in the department.
I understand retailers need to do the best they can with what they've got, and resources are tight.
Not everyone has high-graphic, decorative private-labeled boxes to build with, like a Whole Foods store, and not everyone can go out and order brand new bins for every season.
But make sure your thriftiness isn't costing you elsewhere — particularly in accountability with consumers and vendors who supply the materials.
What's your take? Leave a comment and tell us your opinion.

Judicial laws.
- The people of God should ever be ready to show mildness and mercy, according to the spirit of these laws. We must answer to God, not only for what we do maliciously, but for what we do heedlessly. Therefore, when we have done harm to our neighbour, we should make restitution, though not compelled by law. Let these scriptures lead our souls to remember, that if the grace of God has indeed appeared to us, then it has taught us, and enabled us so to conduct ourselves by its holy power, that denying ungodliness and wordly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world, ( Titus 2:12 ) . And the grace of God teaches us, that as the Lord is our portion, there is enough in him to satisfy all the desires of our souls.
Exodus 22:1-31 . LAWS CONCERNING THEFT.
1-4. If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep--The law respects the theft of cattle which constituted the chief part of their property. The penalty for the theft of a sheep which was slain or sold, was fourfold; for an ox fivefold, because of its greater utility in labor; but, should the stolen animal have been recovered alive, a double compensation was all that was required, because it was presumable he (the thief) was not a practised adept in dishonesty. A robber breaking into a house at midnight might, in self-defense, be slain with impunity; but if he was slain after sunrise, it would be considered murder, for it was not thought likely an assault would then be made upon the lives of the occupants. In every case where a thief could not make restitution, he was sold as a slave for the usual term.
6. If fire break out, and catch in thorns--This refers to the common practice in the East of setting fire to the dry grass before the fall of the autumnal rains, which prevents the ravages of vermin, and is considered a good preparation of the ground for the next crop. The very parched state of the herbage and the long droughts of summer, make the kindling of a fire an operation often dangerous, and always requiring caution from its liability to spread rapidly.
stacks--or as it is rendered "shocks" ( Judges 15:5 , Job 5:26 ), means simply a bundle of loose sheaves.
26, 27. If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, &c.--From the nature of the case, this is the description of a poor man. No Orientals undress, but, merely throwing off their turbans and some of their heavy outer garments, they sleep in the clothes which they wear during the day. The bed of the poor is usually nothing else than a mat; and, in winter, they cover themselves with a cloak--a practice which forms the ground or reason of the humane and merciful law respecting the pawned coat.
28. gods--a word which is several times in this chapter rendered "judges" or magistrates.
the ruler of thy people--and the chief magistrate who was also the high priest, at least in the time of Paul ( Acts 23:1-5 ).

MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (3/28/14) ― A joint investigation by the Muhlenberg and Ohio counties sheriffs' departments along with the Pennyrile Narcotics Task Force has resulted in the seizure of $15,000 from drug-related activity.
According to a Muhlenberg County Sheriff's report, officers have been investigating a suspected drug ring over the past several weeks involving Ohio and Muhlenberg residents.
The sheriffs' departments and PNTF recently arrested Joseph Lee seizing approximately $8,000 in cash along with 28 grams of crystal meth in Cromwell.
On Thursday, March 27, Muhlenberg Sheriff's Det. Wade Griggs conducted a traffic stop in Greenville. Ohio County Sheriff David Thompson deployed the department's K-9 Unit, Brico, around a vehicle driven by Jennifer Abernathy of Forest Park, Chicago. Brico indicated that the order of illegal contraband was inside the vehicle. A search resulted in seized cash. Both Brico and Muhlenberg K-9 Unit Manny indicated that the money was contaminated.
Police believe that Abernathy is closely related to Joseph Lee.
PNTF Det. Troy Gibson said the investigation is deep reaching and is continuing.
Thompson and Muhlenberg Sheriff Curtis McGehee believe the cooperation among agencies has been a contributing factor in the success of the investigation.
KSP Trooper Jon McGehee also assisted in the traffic stop.

To search for further study abroad funding resources on your own, we recommend the following links:
Yes, you can!!! Federal Financial Aid, state and university scholarships you currently receive may be used to pay for study abroad programs. A process also exists for you to work with the IPO and the Financial Services Office to determine whether or not you qualify for an adjustment to your financial aid package based on any added study abroad expense. Students interested in completing this process should follow the steps below:
1) If you have not already, file a FAFSA application through https://fafsa.ed.gov/!!! Remember, Minnesota State Mankato's FAFSA priority deadline each year is March 15th.
2) Finish all elements in your MNSU online study abroad application by the appilcation deadline date, especially the "Class Planner." https://mnsu.studioabroad.com/
3) Create a cost estimate budget sheet with the IPO (make an appointment through the front desk of the Kearney International Center, CSU 250). http://www.mnsu.edu/studyabroad/about/
4) Print out the "Request for Budget Adjustment" form at: http://www.mnsu.edu/campushub/programs/budgetadjust/index.html.
5) If you are participating in a summer study abroad program and already have an active FAFSA on file, you can apply for summer financial aid by fililng out the brief summer financial aid form at: http://www.mnsu.edu/campushub/summer/index.html.
6) Go to the Hub to make an appointment with a Financial Aid Counselor. If you have not already completed the Budget Adjustment form in #3 (to the best of your abilities), you will be asked to do so at the Campus Hub.
7) Meet with a Financial Aid Counselor. Be sure to bring the following to your meeting:
If you are participating in a study abroad company program, you will also be asked to complete a "Consortium Agreement" either at the Campus Hub or by the Financial Aid Counselor (required for study abroad company programs). If you are participating in a faculty-led program, exchange program, or the Spanish Language Abroad program through the Spanish department, no "Consortium Agreement" is needed.
8) The Financial Services Office will notify you of the adjustment amount for which you are approved. Most Award Adjustment approvals are granted through private or alternative loans which must be applied for through a bank or private student loan lender. Approval for financial aid award adjustment does not mean you will simply receive more money with you August/January/May finacial aid award disbursement. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR ALTERNATIVE/PRIVATE LOAN FUNDS UNLESS YOU COMPLETE THE REQUIRED ALTERNATIVE/PRIVATE LOAN APPLICATION PROCESS THROUGH YOUR BANK OR A PRIVATE STUDNET LOAN LENDER. If you have questions about how this process works or where to apply for alternative/private loan, please have a conversation with the Financial Services Office.
9) Go to your bank of choice to arrange for loans as per your award package.
10) Once your alternative/private loan application is approved, it will be disdursed through MNSU's usual financial aid disbursment process in late-august, late-January, or late-May (typically the 2nd Friday of the semester). The money will be first used by MNSU to pay off any charges on yur eServices account. Any remaining funds will be sent to you directly either by check or direct deposit (depending on what you have set up with the university; if you have not already, you can apply for direct deposit through your eServices account).FINANCIAL AID, EVEN ALTERNATIVE/PRIVATE LOANS, CANNOT BE DISBURSED EARLIER THAN THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED DISBURSEMENT SCHEDULE. Any study abroad program payments or purchases you need to make proir to the financial aid disbursement dates should be made by credit card or other means. You will be able to pay off any credit charges when you recieve your disbursment.
11) Make all your study abroad program fee payments by the set deadlines. If you are participating in a study abroad company program, the company should have some sort of "Financial Aid Verification Form" available for you to submit by the final payment deadline in liue of submitting a check/credit card payment. This form is usually available through your personalized studnet account with the study abroad company, or on thier website. If your financial aid package through MNSU does not cover the full program fee due to the study abroad company, by their final program payment deadline the company will expect you to turn in both the "Financial Aid Verification Form" AND full payment be check or credit card on the amount not covered by financial aid. Most study abroad companies also offer payment plans through which you can attange to pay in installments. Call your study abroad company to ask about this option.
12) Be aware that your host university and/or study abroad company will not release your study abroad transcript to you or to MNSU if you have outstanding fees remaining at the end of your term abroad. If MNSU does not receive your transcript in a timely manner after the end of your study abroad program, without proof of your successfully completed term abroad, based on the Financial Services Office's compliance requirements, they could require you to begin repaying your loans with immediate affect.
13) Be aware that you will not receive a transcript for your study abroad experience if you have outstanding bills at the end of your semester abroad. If this happens, you could be required by Student Financial Services to begin repaying your loans immediately.

This is great news! So once we have resettled (pun intended) a bit again after the initial shock, we can begin speculating... what will be different from the Eagle Games version? I surely hope a lot, since that one was really an insult to our beloved series. I already love the modular board, and even the colors feel very Civ-like. Not many plastic units though, but I bet the 'hundreds of tokens' will make up for that
New Civ Boardgame: early speculations

I loved the Eagle Games version. Yeah, it was 12 hours long, but my best gaming experiences were with that beast of a game. I just hope this retains the majority of fun I got out of it.
Posted 02 August 2010 - 01:29 PM
But will it come with a Leonard Nimoy to give special quotes to me as I research technologies
Posted 02 August 2010 - 01:55 PM
Huh. I got all excited and thought that somehow this was a remake of Avalon Hill's classic "Civilization" but instead it's another videogame license. Oh well.
Posted 02 August 2010 - 05:18 PM
Yeah, kinda funny....A 'New' board game version of a video game that was based on....a board game....
While I'd like to see this I'm a little confused...

I had some fun with that game too, but for the 12 hours it took there were just too many times when one player was screwed out of the game after 1 hour, be it by bad luck or by an opponent.

In every game I played, every player always heavily contributed to the actions of the other players, no matter how bad off anyone was. They may not have the best chance of winning, but they weren't 'out of the game' by any means. I think that's part of the reason it was a group favorite, even though it ate up an entire day.
Posted 02 August 2010 - 08:54 PM
I just wonder how well it plays with 2 player. Also wonder if it's possible to solo. I've played and liked Sid Meiers-Civ the Boardgame,but the length was prohibitive,and the amount of players necessary to enjoy the game was greater than I can get together.Shorter length is good and less players is good as long as the experience is enjoyable.
Posted 03 August 2010 - 01:23 AM
Looks awesome so far, i like the modular board setup (i may buy 2 copys just to build bigger maps ).
The only thing i'm concerned about is the combat system (once again).
"combat is resolved through unit cards and a paper-rock-scissors trump system"
Paper-rock-scissors trump system doesn't sound good at all. I just hope a Stone-Age guy can't kill a Modern Tank with the paper-rock-scissors trump thingie...
I personally liked the other Civ boardgame with 10+ hours gameplay, and atm i can't imagine how combat can be fun without dice in the FFG version.
I already disliked the combat cards in Runewars, Starcraft & Horus Heresy... i don't think this game will change my mind.
Yes dice are expensive, but FFG shouldn't turn every game into just cards... this is getting annoying, seriously.
Posted 03 August 2010 - 03:00 AM
I'm glad to see this as a FFG game, as I am interested with what they can do with this type of game as usually with enough players to make the style of game fun it tends to be too long, and the other players tend to have to follow along with the leader of the game, even after it is apparent that that individual is going to win. I have played Civ and Advanced Civ from Avalon Hill from which Sid Meier may have designed his computer game around, but thankfully he much improved upon those games designs. Through the Ages and Eagle Games Sid Meiers Civilization are in style much closer to Meiers version but still take too long to decide the actual winner.
Posted 03 August 2010 - 03:09 AM
Will we have it for Christmas?
It may sound optimistic but during the last months, FFG has put a lot of emphasis about the release of the Battles of Westeros game, without giving that much space to the Battles of Napoleon game. Therefore, when Napoleon came out, I was pleasantly surprised since I tought that there would be some months of previews/videos/speculations about Napoleon before it comes out.
So, I hope that this game will be quickly available since it has been a while that FFG presented me with a game I am really eager to try!
Posted 03 August 2010 - 06:56 AM
I'm assuming the Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) system would only work within an epoch.
So stoneage R>stone age p but Inron age P>Stone Age R
Personally i'm ok with a slim-lined combat system, after all diplomacy has the simplest of them all (who has the most wins) and thats a great game. It also allows the players focus on other aspects of the game. Also on the main page it says "a fast resolution system that takes into account the "era" of your military technological development"
I'm curious to figure out who much we can work out about the mechanics from what we already know.
1 Market Board, 4 Refernce sheets, 6 Civ Sheets, 20 map tiles, 33 plastic figures, nearly 300 cards, 55 combat cards, hundreds of markers and tokens, 6 trade dials, 6 economy dials
1 Ref sheet per player
6 different playable civs
Market Board where civs can trade goods? Or is this too simple would you need a board just for this, can't they just pass resources to each other aka Setterlers of Catan.
Each civ has a different trade and economy dial. These may represent developments in tech in each of these fields. So maybe there are 3 different types of tech you can research in. The thrid being military.
33 Plastic figures. Doesn't divide by 4 or 6, but each may represent the armies a civ can have. These then move around the board and when they meet an opposing army, you use the military cards they have. So maybe each civ can have a max of 8 armies going around the world and the remainder being the rocket for the space victory!?
Other thoughts please?
Posted 03 August 2010 - 07:58 AM
Was excited until I saw who the designer was. Am now expecting it to be very similar (balance-wise) to the Eagle version.
Posted 03 August 2010 - 08:40 AM
I am personally psyched about this release. I never had the chance to play the Eagle verison, but I'm a huge fan of the PC series and am looking forward to FFG's interpretation...
Posted 03 August 2010 - 02:47 PM
The Eagle Games version was drek so this can't help but be better. I'm not stressed about the combat system yet. I HOPE it's a bit simplified and abstracted, maybe similar to that of the Age of Mythology boardgame. I think a good Civ game needs to be more about moving through the tech tree and less about using your tanks against the other player's spearmen. However, a poor military sysytem is one thing that keeps Through the Ages from being perfect for me. The abstracted military strength is okay, but I really don't like how the game encourages the military leaders to smash the players lowest on the food chain.
Posted 04 August 2010 - 01:02 AM
Hm. So simple battle mechanics... Trump-paper-scissors to determine winner in civilization? That's not funny... My mind's going collapse %)
Posted 04 August 2010 - 01:14 PM
The Eagle games had RPS combat and dice rolling. The RPS system winner got a bonus, but it didn't ensure victory.
Also, I like how this is still the only thread.
Posted 04 August 2010 - 10:10 PM
According to the news item on the main page, Civ's being demoed at GenCon. I hope someone is planning on going and wants to post a report here.
Posted 04 August 2010 - 11:23 PM
I personally liked the Eagle Games version (but prefer Through the Ages). My biggest comlaints though have already been mentioned. To truly enjoy that game you needed:
- 3 or more players
- At least 6-8 hours to play
- Lengthy setup
- Very enthusiastic players (a must for any game)
Being an FFG game, i'm sure we can count on lengthy setup still being an issue. I don't mind this as long as the setup time mitigates play time wasted with complexities and still allows richness and variety. Enthusiasm is something every game benefits from, but some games are better at inspiring this than others. Our group has had great success with FFG's game line keeping us coming back for more. FFG is claiming 2-4 hours, which does mitigate my concern about EG's version. Finally the 2-4 player window. Better than Catan's 3-4, not as good as Arkham's 1-8. I just hope it plays as well for 2 players as it does for 4.
- Different customizable board for every game
- Different playable factions
- Several routes to victory (like Android but easier to explain and vizualize)
- Many pieces to allow for wonderous complexity that's easy to manage
Yep, wallet is already creaking open...
Posted 04 August 2010 - 11:59 PM
I really can't wait for the rules to read
And who knows, maybe i can use the minis of the eagle version for the FFG version ? If not then, meh, np at all, i can live with counters. I accepted the boring looking counters of ASL already, so i'm sure the FFG unit counters will look by far better.

To download a printable PDF of this factsheet, please click here.
Sexual violence includes all types of sexual behavior, ranging from sexual harassment to rape and incest, that happens without the freely given consent of the victim. All forms of sexual violence can and do happen in the workplace. While working or on duty, U.S. employees experienced 36,500 rapes and sexual assaults from 1993 to 1999.
Sexual Violence at Work
Most often, we hear about sexual harassment in the workplace. In 2006, the Equal Employment Opportunity Council received 12,025 charges of
sexual harassment (15.4% filed by males). In the pyramid below, the range of sexually violent behaviors can be seen. Most of these are considered sexual harassment. Behaviors that involve physical contact are usually called abuse, rape, or sexual assault. All forms of sexual violence can and do happen in the
workplace. The abuser or offender can be of the same or opposite sex, a supervisor, an agent of the employer, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or a non-employee.
Consequences for Victims
Due to the often devastating emotional and physical consequences of sexual violence, victims may have difficulty meeting ongoing work demands in the aftermath of an assault. Women who have been raped or sexually assaulted report decreased work functioning, sometimes for up to 8 months after the attack. Almost 50% of rape victims lose their jobs or are forced to quit in the aftermath of the crime.
Cost of Workplace Sexual Violence
All forms of sexual violence result in high costs for businesses and the economy. Sexual violence on the job is related to lower productivity, higher rates of absenteeism, and lower employee morale. In 1994, sexual
harassment cost the federal government an estimated $327 million due to job turnover, sick leave, and individual and work group productivity losses among federal employees. Interrupted work as a result of sexual violence can also jeopardize the economic stability of individuals, families, and communities. It also increases healthcare costs for both individuals and employers. If employees bring lawsuits against a company for sexual harassment or
violence, businesses may incur large legal fees.
Preventing Workplace Sexual Violence
Prevention means stopping sexual violence before it happens. This requires us to change how we treat one another, and how we look at sexual violence in our society. Employees and employers have a role to play in prevention.
Here are some examples:
- Employees treat one another with respect and dignity, regardless of gender, race, or
religion. - Employers have well-publicized company
policies for reporting and responding to
acts of sexual harassment and violence. - Businesses support their local rape crisis
center through donation of time and/or
money. By showing they care, others in
the community are inspired to learn more
about how to help.

In homage to Ramsey and his hunger strike, I will be feasting on Italian sausage and pasta tonight, of which I promise zero/none will find it's way into the Riverbend landfill.
I'm going to make a point of bringing my D70 along for the ride past Riverbend from here on out. I've missed what would have made for some excellent shots of the our local Elk herd out here grazing along Hwy 18 during our last two drives to Mac.
I definitely wouldn't want to miss any shots of Ramsey propping himself up on sticks like some kinda boney scarecrow out in his front yard. Nope, I wouldn't want to miss that shot for anything in the world. If and when I take that shot, I'll hopefully be allowed to post it here on the News-Register's Valley Eye
That is, if Marcus doesn't beat me to it ;)
Obviously, a case of mistaken identity on your part, Lulu.
Lulu, mull this over for a moment if you will. You, yourself might consider placing an emaciated effigy of Ramsey out in your own front yard, with perhaps some modest signage stating your support for his hunger strike?
Kinda like how the Guy Fawkes thingy works, though, we should probably wait until Ramsey's face gets a little more gaunt before creating the mold of his likeness that will need to go into mass-production.
Heck, I can easily envision tens of people on pogo-sticks bouncing up and down in front of Riverbend in full scarecrow regalia shouting 'We're Mad as ....bla bla bla...bla bla...bla bla bla ....BLA!"
Just a thought, do you have anymore?

A Jones Airways Bombardier Challenger touched down precisely at 3 p.m. with a Citation Ultra following close behind.
"There he is, right on the number," Cleveland Vice Mayor Avery Johnson said. He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as the wheels touched down on Runway 3. It was the end of a long struggle in the advancement of local aviation.
LeRoy Rymer, a member of the Cleveland Municipal Airport Authority, said, "Avery, you've been waiting for this a long time."
"You better believe it," Johnson replied as the two men watched from an observation platform on the second floor of the shiny new terminal building. "Boy, that's good," he observed.
The runway at the $42 million general aviation airport officially opened about 30 minutes before the planes landed.
The grand opening was held earlier this morning.
Challenger pilot Fred Salyers of Cleveland smiled Thursday as he talked about landing the big plane in his hometown for the first time. Roger Langlo of Cleveland was the second pilot and Jan Smith of Chattanooga was the flight attendant.
"You couldn't land that plane here before," he said. "That was the first time this big of an airplane has landed in Cleveland."
The runway at Hardwick Field is only about 3,500 feet long. About 1,000 more feet is needed to bring the Challenger in for a comfortable landing. He made the first landing in about 4,000 feet.
"We had a good headwind today so we were able to land a little shorter," he said. "It was a pretty good landing for the amount of wind we had today."
It's deceptive, but it's the takeoff performance that's more critical than the landing.
"When you see a takeoff, you say it doesn't take that much, but in a jet airplane, you have to have enough runway to where you can accelerate to what we call 'decision speed.' If we lose an engine at that point, we still have enough runway to stop or continue on one engine and make a safe takeoff."
Salyers has been flying for different companies in the area since 1984.
"We've been trying to build an airport here since before then. It's a great day. It's the realization of a dream."
Shaun Barry of Ooltewah piloted the Citation with David Keck, who came down from upstate New York, and who was the second pilot.
Did landing second take away from the excitement?
"It does not," Barry replied to the question. "What an honor it is to be part of this whole event. I just feel very privileged to be here and be a part of the first landing, second or third."
Barry said he flew the Citation in and out of Hardwick only in good weather and only when it was dry and even then, it was still tricky.
"It was kind of, pick your spot right at the beginning of the runway and put it down. You can't worry about getting a really nice, smooth landing — just pick your spot, put it there and get it stopped.
"This one is miles of runway compared to that (Hardwick). You're looking at 3,200 feet compared to 5,500. Over there it was surrounded by trees and an upslope when you're landing to the northeast and a downslope when you're landing to the southwest. This is a dream. This airport is phenomenal."
Keck said he was honored to come from New York to Cleveland just to be a part of the event.
"You don't see too many general aviation airports opening up in the country. It's very unusual to see this size of an airport. This is part of the infrastructure of the community," he said. "A lot of times the first thing companies look at is transportation. 'Can we get any of our people here by airplane?' So this is a big deal. I wish the whole community good luck on this."
Allan Jones, owner of Jones Airways, said later that the airport has already helped.
"We've got Wacker. We've got Amazon. We've got a new industrial site the Chamber is working on — it's already had a huge effect. If this airport hadn't been coming, they wouldn't be here."
Jones said he has been hearing about building a new airport since graduating from high school.
"I kept hearing them talk about it and I wanted to help them do something about it," he said.
Jones said he met with airport design engineer Mark Paslick at the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce. A second meeting included himself, Paslick, At-Large City Councilman Richard Banks and City Manager Joe Cate.
"We decided the best way would be to form an airport authority. At that point, Richard was able to get four votes on the City Council," Jones said.
"We picked three key people: Lynn DeVault, who has pulled this off before in Arkansas; former state Sen. Lou Patten, who understood the politics in Nashville; and Jim Sharp, who understood land acquisition. Those were the three key people. LeRoy Rymer and Mike McCoy were activists in the local airport."
