How long does a divorce take?
There is no standard amount of time that a divorce will take.
Do I have to move out of my home?
What happens with the home is up to what the parties either settle on outside of court or what the judge decides at trial.
Am I going to have to go to trial?
Some family law matters will go to a bench trial, meaning that the case will be tried in front of a judge and not a jury.
I am not working, how am I going to make ends meet without my spouse's income?
Some spouses will be entitled to spousal support during the divorce proceedings, after the proceedings, or both.
Custody and Visitation
How does the court decide who gets the kids?
In North Dakota, decision making responsibility refers to who has the authority to make major decisions for the children.
My ex has primary custody and is not giving me my parenting time/visitation, what should I do?
One thing that parents should never do in response to an interference with parenting time is stop paying child support.
Can I modify my custody agreement?
Some time limits exist as to when custody agreements can be modified, but they are modifiable.
Child support
The other parent has stopped paying child support; what should I do?
The first thing to remember is to never withhold parenting time from the other parent, unless the child is actually put in danger.
How is child support calculated?
The calculation of child support takes into account many different factors.
Can I change my child support payments?
Child support orders may be reviewed and changed if there is a substantial change in either parent's income or a substantial increase in the needs of the child or children receiving support.

Forrester's New Navigation Tool for Tech Marketers
Posted by Bradford Holmes on December 1, 2009
We announced today that Forrester is acquiring a business some of you already know called Strategic Oxygen. From where I sit, this deal is a great fit for both organizations. For those of you who don't know the Strategic Oxygen offering, it's a data-driven tool that gives marketers rich, detailed insights to inform their marketing mix and spending decisions across markets and media. Given the shift to social, the return to tech spending growth, and the explosion of channels available to marketers, this is the kind of data tech marketers can use to make more confident decisions about how to maximize the return on their marketing spending. I am interested in any comments or questions the Forrester and Strategic Oxygen deal bring to mind for you, so feel free to post a comment and I will respond.

By: Thomas Frank Carr
The unknown. That's what drove 72,000 (82,000 if you ask James Franklin) people to Beaver Stadium Saturday for the yearly Blue/White game. That and a perfect day to be outside. What were we going to see from new Head Coach James Franklin and his coaching staff? How would the team look after the abrupt departure of Bill O'Brien and his coaching staff four months ago? Curiosity and a whole lot of public appearances from Franklin and his staff. Make no mistake about it. Franklin's media blitz and high energy style brought people to Beaver Stadium to see a show today. They certainly got it.
Offensive Line Is a Real Issue
This doesn't come as any surprise. There have been questions about the talent and depth along the line since the beginning of spring practice. It was painfully obvious on Saturday how much of an issue the offensive line will be this year. It didn't matter what squad it was, the defensive line was getting pressure all day. Even taking over at Vanderbilt, Franklin says that he's never had to deal with something like this before,
"I think this is probably unique. I've been places where when we showed up we had some challenges in terms of depth and things like that. I'm not sure I've ever been in a situation where we don't' have a scholarship player two deep.
It seems that there isn't an easy solution to the problem either.
"We've got some things to solve up front. We're going to have to get creative."
Wildcat Back in Vogue
What's one way to get creative? The Wildcat. Franklin and his staff spent a good bit of time during the spring game running plays out of the formation that has quarterback Christian Hackenberg lined up at receiver and a running back lined up for a direct snap. Franklin believes that the wildcat evens the playing field for his offense,
"You're able to play true eleven on eleven football, offense versus defense. Every other offense you run, the defense has an advantage of plus one on you (because the quarterback doesn't block). How big a part of our offense? That remains to be seen."
Technically the name would work nicely for Penn State, considering that the mascot is a mountain lion, but it would seem that if any coaching staff could come up with a catchy new name for it, it would be this one. Franklin, however was more interested in how it works,
"Yeah, I think we're going to call it The Wildcat. I'm more concerned with how it's being run than thinking of a catchy name for it. That will be a part of our offense. How much? I'm not sure. It just kind of depends on how camp goes."
Defensive Line Shines
It wasn't hard for them to do it, but the defensive line really stood out today. They dominated their weaker counterpart and routinely got to the quarterback. Several times they even accidentally delivered a shot to freshman Mike O'Connor or White Team quarterback D.J. Crook. Both Deion Barnes and C.J. Olaniyan seem more explosive this spring than they were last year as well.
The true standout however, was defensive tackle Anthony Zettel. Aside from not putting his shirt on all the way, he stood out because he was in the backfield constantly Saturday. The decision to move Zettel from a one technique (run stuffer) to a three technique (pass rusher) tackle position looks like a good one. Zettel, along with Barnes and Olaniyan give Penn State a formidable pass rush that will be fun to watch next year.
RB Cole Chiappialle- Or Chip as Hackenberg refers to him, did himself a huge favor Saturday with his performance. Chiappialle not only had a good day statistically, but he also passed the eyeball test. Despite a lack of size, Chip runs with good balance, body lean, speed and vision. He also finishes every run in a violent manner. True, he won't be asked to do much behind Zwinak, Belton, and Lynch, but he put his name in the conversation today. That's not bad for a former run-on.
Penn State Offensive Line- This position group will decide how far Penn State goes next year. If they rise to the occasion and prove all the doubters wrong, Penn State could be a very competitive team next year. If they play like they did Saturday…well let's just hope Christian Hackenberg put on enough weight this winter to help absorb some hits.

What is a Live Sound Computer?
Now you can have a virtual mixing console on your computer that rivals the digital mixing consoles that have been on the scene for several years. Digital consoles are becoming more prevalent in live sound production as time passes. There are many advantages to the digital hardware. The boards incorporate digital signal processing that eliminates much of the traditional outboard gear. Each channel has dynamic processing in the form of compression and gate. Effects are handled by plugins. The modern digital mixing console provides the complete live mixing environment onboard.
The heart of any digital mixing system is a dedicated computer. The hardware consoles incorporate control surfaces that emulate the controls of an analog console. They often include touch screens that add to the control system.
The Software Audio Console
There is now a software available for a Windows PC that gives you all of the functionality of the big hardware consoles in a virtual environment. The studio business has used this model for many years. Now it is available to the live sound community. The virtual console gives you the features of the hardware consoles without the hardware. While control surfaces can be interfaced with the software they are not necessary.
The software package has been developed by experienced live sound engineers for live sound engineers. The navigation is set up to get to any part of the virtual console with only a couple of clicks. The User Interface is set up to look like a physical console, with channel strips, aux send and return modules, and output modules.
Through the magic of code the channels can be reordered and sessions can be saved and recalled. You can save a mix that you are using in a particular venue and the next time that you work that room you can start exactly where you left off the last time that you played the room.
The code base for the SAC software is written in assembly language. Because of this it is very responsive and it is conservative of resources. Assembly language programming bypasses much of the Windows environment.
Mixer In A Box
Mixer In A Box is my website that is dedicated to this software and experience. There is more information about this Live Sound Computer system there as well as links to the developer's site. I also offer to assemble systems for those who do not feel comfortable with the process of putting the hardware together. Please visit Mixer In A Box.

VCON 2010 How Games-as-a-Service and Virtual Items Have Changed the Playbook Forever
March 01, 2010
DFC Intelligence has long articulated how online connectivity would shift games from a pure product model to more of a service-based model where revenue is generated based on continuing consumer usage. Online access allows for more flexible business models including subscriptions, rental, demos (try before you buy), and the ability to buy low cost digital items. Furthermore, online social networks allow companies to leverage the masses to reach millions of users AND distribute products to those users at a low cost. Zynga and its use of Facebook is a great example.
One of the many partners DFC Intelligence has been working with to better understand these complex trends is Live Gamer. Live Gamer provides a commerce solution for online games, social networks and virtual worlds. On March 10, 2010 Live Gamer will be sponsoring VCON, a full-day event within the Game Developers Conference (GDC), to be held at Moscone Center in San Francisco. VCON will explore how games-as-a-service and virtual items have changed the gaming and entertainment playbook forever.
At VCON, DFC Intelligence and Live Gamer will be revealing the results of a major new study into the purchase habits of gamers buying virtual items and other digital content. This study consists of a full historical analysis of actual digital transactions in games from 2002 to 2009 in several countries including the U.S., Korea, Japan, Germany, the Philippines, and Vietnam. This usage data has been combined with a 2010 survey of about 5,000 gamers in North America and Europe.
The results clearly show how building a games as a service business using a virtual item model can result in products that have five-year plus life spans in several regions around the world. This is clearly a new business model that is already proving substantially more profitable than the established packaged goods business.
The virtual item model has been firmly established in markets like Korea for several years. However, in a market like the U.S., the idea of buying digital content is still somewhat new. However in our survey of consumers, 89% of respondents in North America said they had purchased some form of digital content (including music and video, as well as games). More impressive was when we asked the question: Have you ever purchased an in-game good that is not a full game, but consists of a game component such as virtual currency, avatars/characters, items/weapons/vehicles, extra levels, etc? Nearly 63% of respondents in North America answering the question (and 37% of all those surveyed) said yes.
It is also clear that free-to-play games (F2P) are becoming very popular in North America. Furthermore, among a core game audience conversion from free play to paying for virtual goods and/or getting a subscription seems surprisingly high. On average, over 20% of users that said they had tried a free to play game said they had also bought a virtual item or paid for an optional subscription.
The survey revealed many interesting habits of game consumers, and perhaps one of the most surprising items was the high purchase rate of games for the iPhone and iPod Touch. In North America, among users answering the question " Do you own an iPhone or iPod Touch?" 24% said yes (15% of all respondents). Furthermore, 60% of iPhone/iPod Touch owners indicated that that they had bought a game for the system in the past three months.
Not surprisingly, as DFC forecast in the recent report "The Market for iPhone and iPod Games and Applications," the iPod Touch appears to be the system of choice for gamers. Among those that said they owned an iPhone or iPod Touch, 77% said they owned an iPod Touch.
Showing the power of popular core brands, the most popular game for iPhone/iPod Touch owners was Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies which a whopping 18% of iPhone/iPod Touch owners in North America said they had purchased. However, classic casual games like Bejeweled, Tetris and Peggle were also popular with around 10-14% of iPhone/iPod Touch owners indicating they had purchased those products.
In March, DFC Intelligence will be issuing a complete report summarizing many of the findings from the survey and the analysis of historical data on microtransactions from Live Gamer. During Live Gamer's VCON 2010 event at the Game Developers Conference, DFC will be presenting a presentation on findings on the size of the microtransaction business on the afternoon of March 10 at 2:30.

Afghan soldier kills 2 ISAF troops in latest green-on-blue attack
An Afghan soldier killed two NATO troops in an attack in western Afghanistan today. The attack is the sixth green-on-blue, or insider attack, in which Afghan security personnel open fire on Western forces, so far this year.
The International Security Assistance Force announced that two "service members were killed when an Afghan National Army soldier turned his weapon against ISAF service members in western Afghanistan today."
ISAF did not disclose the identities or nationalities of the soldiers who were killed in the attack. US, Spanish, and Italian soldiers make up the bulk of the forces operating in western Afghanistan.
It is also unclear if the Afghan soldier was killed or captured after killing the Afghan soldiers, or if he escaped.
So far this year, there have been six green-on-blue attacks in Afghanistan. Five ISAF soldiers and one civilian adviser have been killed in the six attacks since Jan. 1. The first attack took place on Jan. 6 in Helmand province. The last such attack took place on April 7, when two Lithuanian soldiers were wounded after an Afghan soldier opened fire on their vehicle with an RPG.
So far this year, nearly 13 percent of ISAF's deaths have been the result of green-on-blue attacks. Last year, green-on-blue attacks accounted for 15% of Coalition deaths. The attacks have tapered off in recent months as partnering of Afghan and Coalition troops has been reduced.
Since Jan. 1, 2008, a total of 78 insider or "green-on-blue" attacks have been reported against International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) personnel in Afghanistan, killing 132 personnel and wounding 148 more. [See LWJ special report, Green-on-blue attacks in Afghanistan: the data.]
Green-on-blue data remains "classified" by ISAF
While six green-on-blue attacks have been reported so far this year, the likelihood is that the number is much higher. ISAF has not disclosed the overall number of green-on-blue incidents in which ISAF soldiers were wounded by Afghan security personnel, or the attacks on ISAF personnel that did not result in casualties.
ISAF told The Long War Journal in March 2012 that "these statistics ... [are ] ... classified."
"[A]ttacks by ANSF on Coalition Forces ... either resulting in non-injury, injury or death ... these stats as a whole (the total # attacks) are what is classified and not releasable," Lieutenant Colonel Jimmie Cummings, ISAF's former Press Desk Chief, told The Long War Journal. Cummings said that ISAF is "looking to declassify this number."
Inquiries as to why the overall statistic is classified went unanswered. More than one year later, the data remains classified.
Many green-on-blue attacks remain unreported. For instance, one such attack, on March 25 in Kandahar province, is known only because a reporter from The Long War Journal was present when the incident took place. In that attack, Afghan local policemen opened fire on a US base after US personnel tried to arrest a known Taliban commander at the ALP checkpoint [see LWJ report, The anatomy of green-on-blue tensions in Panjwai].
Insider attacks a key part of Taliban strategy
The Taliban have claimed to have stepped up their efforts to infiltrate Afghan security forces as well as "lure" and encourage Afghan security personnel to attack ISAF troops and advisers.
In October 2012, Taliban emir Mullah Omar released an Eid al-Adha message that urged followers to "[i]increase Increase your efforts to expand the area of infiltration in the ranks of the enemy and to bring about better order and array in the work." The statement continued: "We call on the Afghans who still stand with the stooge regime to turn to full-fledged cooperation with their Mujahid people like courageous persons in order to protect national interests and to complete independence of the country. Jihadic activities inside the circle of the State militias are the most effective stratagem. Its dimension will see further expansion, organization and efficiency if God willing."
Omar had previously addressed the issue of green-on-blue attacks at length in a statement released on Aug. 16, 2012. Omar claimed that the Taliban "cleverly infiltrated in the ranks of the enemy according to the plan given to them last year," and urged government officials and security personnel to defect and join the Taliban as a matter of religious duty. He also noted that the Taliban have created the "Call and Guidance, Luring and Integration" department, "with branches ... now operational all over the country," to encourage defections. [See Threat Matrix report, Mullah Omar addresses green-on-blue attacks.]
Just last week, the Taliban announced that green-on-blue attacks would be a key part of this year's strategy.
"This year's spring operation, in accordance with its combat nature, will consist of special military tactics quantity and quality wise while successful insider attacks, to eliminate foreign invaders, will be carried out by infiltrating Mujahideen inside enemy bases in a systematic and coordinated manner," the Taliban announced on April 27.
READER COMMENTS: "Afghan soldier kills 2 ISAF troops in latest green-on-blue attack"
Posted by larry at May 4, 2013 3:38 PM ET:
Seems like those pesky cultural differences are flaring up again. It's not part of an overall trend though mind you.
It looks like this year's "Spring Offensiv" (if this is part of it) is starting a week earlier than the 2012 Taliban Spring Offensive.
It'll be interesting to see how things play out in the month of May this year. For all the media attention these Spring Offensives get it seems like one one giant fail after another on an operational level. Still, the Taliban don't actually have to win a battle in order to win this game. They just have to keep on playing. And it seems they are well aware of this.
Hope these embedded links work.
Posted by JRP at May 4, 2013 4:46 PM ET:
The psychological toll these "insider" attacks take on ISAF troops working with Afghans must be enormous. I can't recall any other war, even Vietnam, where the effectiveness of this tactic has been so great. I've also no doubt that the "insider" attack concept was somehow behind the Boston Marathon bombing. Thus on both the battlefront and the domestic front Taliban/AQ is bringing the Terror up close & personal. Meanwhile there seems no tactic employed by us that is immune from petty leftist criticism. The more effective our tactic, drones for instance, the more criticism leveled. If the critics wish for our way of life to survive (and this is certainly in doubt), they need to realize that War and Crime differ in this one fundamental aspect: In a criminal prosecution, no matter how heinous the crime, the Defendant is given a sporting chance of winning. The idea being that an acquittal, while a personal disappointment for the victim or the survivors of the victim, does not endanger the larger society. In other words, the State can afford to lose. In war there should be no sporting chance given to the enemy to win. The Country can't afford to lose any war. All means necessary need to be employed to win. The Taliban/AQ understand this. It is high time we set aside notions of fair play, that simply convert our Constitution into either an instrument of surrender or a suicide pact, and get back to the business of winning wars. We don't need the Spirit of '76; we need the Spirit of '45.

Is the spring offensive starting earlier because of global warming. ;).
Posted by Anonymous at May 6, 2013 1:40 PM ET:
It's been confirmed that one of the two killed was a US Marine from New Jersey.
Posted by Demetrius M at May 7, 2013 11:59 AM ET:
One of the best comments I have read anywhere in quite some time. I have to agree that if it's even perceived that we are losing this battle, we have lost the war. The media tends to report every minor Taliban/Al Qaeda victory, yet ignore ours, much to my chagrin.
Posted by JRP at May 13, 2013 11:51 AM ET:
@ Demetrius . . . Thank you. JRP.

Royal Bank of Scotland files 34 UDRPs
Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services goes into overdrive with large client.
Royal Bank of Scotland and its National Westminster Bank Plc have decided to go bulk in cracking down on cybersquatters. The company just filed 34 UDRP cases covering 35 domain names in one fell swoop.
This is hardly the bank's first foray into UDRP. UDRPSearch.com lists 133 cases (including the new ones) filed by Royal Bank of Scotland and 116 filed by National Westminster Bank plc.
Based on RBS' previous filings, I'd bet this mass filing is the work of Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services.
Melbourne has landed quite a few clients who are willing to spend big bucks on UDRP. One of its clients is Lego, which is closing in on 500 cases filed since 2009.
Other notable Melbourne IT DBS clients include AB Electrolux and Twitter.
1 Comment
I am sure they paid TOP DOLLAR for these UDRP's. I would assume in excess of $150K

World Trade Organization (WTO)
WTO Doha Round Bulletin
Week ending 5 March 2004 (Issue 2004/8)
Key Issues
Negotiating Groups recommence
The Special Session of the Dispute Settlement Understanding Review was the first of the WTO Doha negotiating groups to meet this week, marking a resumption of the detailed negotiations of the Doha Development Round, suspended since the September 2003 Cancún Ministerial Meeting. The group is one of eight established under the Trade Negotiations Committee. At the meeting Members welcomed the appointment of Australia's Ambassador, David Spencer, as chair of the group. Ambassador Spencer called for Members' input on how to structure the group's work in view of the May 2004 deadline for the DSU review to complete its task. The next negotiating group to meet will be the group on rules, which is scheduled to meet next Thursday, with the agriculture and industrial negotiating groups meeting later in the month.
There have been many positive signals from Members that they are ready to re-engage this year. Both European Union Trade Commissioner Pascal Lamy and United States Trade Representative Robert Zoellick have indicated that they believe it is possible that broad frameworks for the agriculture and industrial negotiations could be agreed by mid-year. Progress however, will very much depend on whether major players are willing to back their rhetoric by showing flexibility in the negotiations, particularly in the areas of agriculture and agricultural subsidies.

on January 17, 2014A state court judge in Pennsylvania plainly has had enough of his legislature's bullshit.
In his ruling, Judge McGinley wrote that the law poses "a substantial threat" to hundreds of thousands of qualified voters. "Voting laws are designed to assure a free and fair election; the Voter ID Law does not further this goal," the decision reads.
The Pennsylvania law never was enforced, and the state lost the case in McGinley's court largely because it couldn't prove that any of the voter fraud that it allegedly sought to stop actually existed. This, of course, has been the problem with the New Jim Crow project. The laws designed to keep people from voting are sold as the solution to a problem that does not exist. This has been obvious for three years. It's nice to have a judge take notice.
Certainly a vague concern about voter fraud does not rise to a level that justifies the burdens here. Therefore this court does not find in-person voter fraud a compelling interest the voter ID law was designed to serve.
No, it doesn't.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Active Labor Programs in Poland
April 1998
To discern the net impact on employment and earnings for five main active labor programs
To determine the net effect of ALP participation on receipt of unemployment insurance
Data Summary
The Poland public use data (1997) were compiled to evaluate the effectiveness of Active Labor Programs (ALPs) in Poland.
Local labor offices in 8 voivods (provinces) across Poland conducted interviews of the selected samples between February and April 1997. Program participant samples were randomly selected for four ALPs (retraining, public works, intervention works, and self-employment assistance). Comparison group samples were strategically selected for each program sample by matching each individual in the program samples with the most similar individual from the local unemployment register that had never participated in an ALP. Data for each individual were obtained from in-person interviews, with additional administrative information from the unemployment register and the National Labor Office in Poland.
The data file includes:
Record identification
Demographic information
Survey/interview variables
Program assessment/outcome variables
Created variables
The file contains 14,357 observations with record length 296. Since the comparison group was not randomly assigned, a second comparison group containing 10,000 randomly selected observations is provided as a separate data file. This second comparison group sample does not include survey data, it contains administrative data only.

The Nuts and Bolts of a Green AV Installation, Part 1
May 3, 2010 11:32 AM, By Bennett Liles
Editor's note: For your convenience, this transcription of the podcast includes timestamps. If you are listening to the podcast and reading its accompanying transcription, you can use the timestamps to jump to any part of the audio podcast by simply dragging the slider on the podcast to the time indicated in the transcription.
Green AV is big and getting bigger, but how does it really work out on the job where the nuts, bolts, and cable come together? Mark Morrison, Patrick DeZess, and Allan Childers of Audio Video Systems (AVS) put it all together in the new headquarters of the U.S. Green Building Council, and they're going to tell us how it worked.
Related Links | ||||||
SVC: Mark, Patrick, and Allan, it's great to be with you here on the Corporate AV podcast. And you're with Audio Video Systems up there in Virginia...
Childers: Right.
…and we were talking about the U.S. Green Building Council's headquarters where you did a major installation there. And I would think that the United States Green Building Council, I mean, when they have a headquarters set up and installed, it had better be an environmentally green building. First of all, before we get into the installation, what does AVS do and how long have you guys been around?
Childers: Actually, AVS was founded by the owner, Peter Barthelson, in 1992—and so almost coming up on 20 years—and we're a systems integrator, [and we] specialize in design, engineering, [and] integration of audiovisual systems. We do everything from the basic AV to video teleconferencing suites. We specialize in a lot of government installations—command and control centers, operation centers, large conference rooms for offices, general things like that. One of the things that we have been doing is working with the Pentagon since the mid '90s on their renovation program, PENREN, and so we've worked as the major AV installer for that—all the different command and control centers and offices, conference rooms for the generals and for the different Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, etc. But we're doing a little bit more, for example, with the Green Building Council—a little bit more corporate, a little bit more education, but the majority is government and military stuff. [Timestamp: 2:16]
And you're getting ready pretty soon to be moving into a new headquarters yourselves with AVS. How is that been going?
Childers: A couple of years ago, the owner bought some property, and we designed and are completing the construction of Barthelson Plaza, which will be a headquarters for AVS. Right now, we're tentatively scheduled to move in just at the end of April or early May. And that is a 72,000-square-foot, four-story building. It's going to be LEED-certified, I believe, shooting for the gold. If we can go higher, we will. As a green building, it will be organically managed and a lot of the stuff is recycled—furniture, content, and everything that you can to green building and all the stuff that will need LEED certification. [Timestamp: 3:03]
Well, obviously, the green movement is very big in AV now, and it sounds to me like AVS has made some pretty serious commitments to operating in green. What other things have you been doing within the company for that?
Childers: Well, actually, the Green Building Council install kind of jumped off a few ideas for us because we looked at that—we had to do some things differently, obviously, which we'll get into—but we kind of took a look at what we were doing internally and put some ideas together. We put together sort of a three-fold plan of things that we could do … internally, how we're doing everything from recycling and doing VTC instead of traveling or things like that … the basic stuff that people do for green internally. The other point is the LEED certification to the new building, but also, we looked at what we could do to provide sustainability and green stuff for our customers and the systems we build. We look at green AV sort of like a tag line, as Patrick has said before, but we look at ourselves as a company that's using sustainable business practices in the products that we provide to our customers. We've got an internal team, a green task force of ourselves, that has been doing research for months and putting together plans of things we're doing. We've implemented things like a major recycling policy, obviously, internally, but externally, for our customers, we're looking at different things like what we can do for power management in our systems, how we can use our control systems to help customers—save them energy. If they're not using their systems 24/7, then maybe they can save costs by turning them off on the weekends or things like that. That's a simple example, but we're looking at everything we can do and then we're also doing a blog online talking about the green stuff that we've been doing, sort of telling a story of what we're doing. There's not a lot of people talking about it besides some of the trade magazines. The system integrators aren't talking too much, but we want to put ourselves out there and basically drive what's going on in the industry, sort of inspire people to challenge themselves and challenge the industry to see what we can do to further sustainability efforts for the AV industry. [Timestamp: 5:20]
Well, it was no secret, I guess, the extent of AVS' involvement and green technology, and I guess it's no surprise then that the Green Building Council decided to go with you folks on this. So what did they tell you when they first came to you with this on the installation and what was the scope of what they wanted to do?
Morrison: Well, originally the Green Building Council was an existing client that we had, and we actually installed their systems in their old facility. And when they were looking to move into their new facility, they actually engaged us for some design and some consulting to make sure that we could fit the needs in the new building. During that process, we identified what they liked about their current systems and what they didn't like about their current systems, and it pretty much came to fruition that one of the most important things that they wanted was a system that was as easy as possible to use. That meant automating the system. The actual green cost savings wasn't a driving requirement as much as the usability of the system, so during that time period, we looked at various technologies from Crestron, AMX, all the major vendors, and then we went down the road of actually looking at possibly automating the systems, tying into other building control systems, things of that nature. After we came up with a concept, demonstrated the functionality of it to them, went over it in detail, they then gave us another word for the actual installation portion of the project.

The Final Weeks of Pregnancy- Pregnant with Type 1 Diabetes
"Birth And Beyond" Part 5
Final weeks of pregnancy! The third trimester brings about many more ultrasound scans and measurements taken to judge the growth and health of your child. You'll likely be visiting your OB/GYN or maternal fetal medicine office twice per week for non-stress tests to ensure that your baby is healthy and active.
Between weeks 28 and 36, many women notice a sudden growth spurt in their baby's measurements. My baby suddenly went from measuring "right on target" to being deemed a "big baby" around week 32. In my conversations with other type 1 mothers, I learned that they too saw a sudden growth spurt during this time.
I know that as women with diabetes , we are very sensitive when it comes to our babies' weight in the womb. We try so hard and are very dedicated to bringing these babies into the world, proving that our diabetes does not affect every outcome in our lives. But sometimes we still become demoralized by the assumptions about diabetes and pregnancy.
My own A1C was stellar throughout pregnancy, including the six months before attempting to conceive. I was steady in the 6.5% range throughout the first half of pregnancy, bringing it down even farther, to below 6.0%, in the last weeks. I had very few fluctuations in my glucose readings and was testing so often that even if my blood sugar jumped suddenly, I was correcting and bringing it back down to range within one hour. Surely it can't be said that my baby's birth weight of 9.4 pounds was due to my diabetes.
When my doctors noted my baby's growth spurt around week 32 and told me that she was going to be a big baby, my first thought was that it was my fault. I mentally badgered myself for the infrequent 200 readings and begrudged my diabetes for taking part in my pregnancy even when I was trying so hard to not allow it to affect my baby. I felt like my doctors and family would judge me, blaming her higher-than-average weight on my illness and assuming that I was in poor control of my blood glucose.
But, I knew the truth. I knew that my glucose was as close to a "normal" person's as it had ever been and that I was doing everything I could to keep my baby healthy and strong. As it turned out, my baby was very strong. She withstood 21 hours of labor and an emergency C-section. I also had pre-eclampsia for the last three weeks of pregnancy, causing my own body to swell nearly beyond its capacity.
At just two days old, my baby was picking up her head with her strong neck muscles to look around. At six weeks old (the age she is as I'm writing this), she is the most active and alert newborn I've ever seen. It is still undecided if my child's above-average birth weight was due to my diabetes or genetics. Though my and my husband's birth weights were average, my older brother weighed nearly 10 pounds at birth, although my mother had no signs even of gestational diabetes.
The point is not to point fingers or to lay blame on anyone or anything. There are still so many things we don't understand about this disease. Every day, medical communities are discovering something new. Managing type 1 diabetes while pregnant is very difficult. The fact that you've made it to the third trimester is astounding. Don't allow anyone (even yourself) to make you feel anything less than what you are.
As mentioned above, I experienced pre-eclampsia during the last weeks of my pregnancy. I will discuss those symptoms in Article Six.

Mises Daily
For Richer or Poorer
The writing side of the Liberty Watch crew recently convened for dinner and, of course, politics was the conversation of choice. Ron Paul supporters dominated the table. In fact, the expectant father is lobbying at home to name his newest after Ron. However his wife, the UNLV professor with child, announced that she is a John Edwards fan, and she seemed annoyed that her husband hadn't "grown out of" his Ron Paul phase.
The pregnant professor believed Edwards was presidential, because "he cares about the gap between the rich and poor in this country, something no other candidate has talked about." My guess is that John Edwards couldn't care less about the gap between rich people (he is one from trial lawyering) and poor people. But, being a good host, I held my tongue concerning Mr. Edwards, and made the point that only Ron Paul talks at all about actually doing something that would close the gap between rich and poor: eliminating the Federal Reserve.
John Edwards, when he was still in the race, never had anything to say about the central bank. His shtick was higher minimum wages, more unionization and maybe some price controls. Essentially he was for government force. So while he'd be all for the Fed to print money to its heart's content, he would combat the effects with the ham hand of government intervention – in a caring way, of course.
But only Ron Paul understands that while central bankers have increased the M-2 money supply (they don't even keep track of M-3 anymore) from just short of $290 billion in January 1959 to nearly $7.5 trillion in December 2007, the poor and middle class have not benefited. But there are people who do benefit by this constant inflation: the government itself, big banks, government contractors and anyone associated with the federal government.
The people who get the money first through the banking system are the beneficiaries. They spend the money first, driving up prices for those who get the money last. Borrowers are benefited at the expense of savers. Those with little bargaining power like low-skilled workers and retirees are punished by inflation. Trial lawyers like Edwards, who can dictate what their fees will be, aren't harmed by inflation. But the middle class suffers because it now takes two incomes to make ends meet.
Inflation is a silent tax, levied by governments so they don't have to impose overt taxes that would be politically unpopular to pay for their misadventures at home and abroad.
Under its current leadership, the Federal Reserve is looking more and more like a Banana Republic central bank. The result will be a cruel world for the child of our Edwards' supporter. Imagine lunch costing $6 million? In a blog post on 4xforum.com from Zimbabwe, it was asked: "What does Z$6 million look like?"
A regular 4xforum visitor wrote in and sent a picture of the stack of Z$1,000 bills required to pay for a lunch for eight with beer.
"Hi, Guys. We thought you would like to see what 6 million looks like in 1,000 Zimbabwe Dollar notes! This was the manager taking the money away after 8 of us had lunch at Mama Mia's on 10 August: 2 courses each, eating the last fillet steak left in the restaurant, and even getting some beers – also running out!"
Of course, the Zimbabwe government has responded to the hyperinflation by blaming businesses for raising prices and thus instituting price controls. The result is shortages and misery for a country that was once considered the breadbasket of Africa.
At least our expectant father is doing the right thing. He's shopping for gold dealers.

A Bold and Beautiful Townhouse
Two hoteliers infuse their London home with bright color and surprising patterns
By Ingrid Abramovitch
Tim Kemp gets around town on a yellow Lambretta scooter. His wife, Kit Kemp, wears miniskirts and go-go boots and commutes on a Serotta bicycle custom-colored in her favorite shades of orange, pink, and green. In London, where they have transformed the hotel scene with their six boutique properties, including the Haymarket and the Soho, this entrepreneurial pair turn heads with their mod personal style. We look like a very 1960s couple, says Kit, a self-taught designer who does all the decoration for their hotels.
Americans got a taste of the Kemps quirky English aestheticthink urban sophisticate meets God Save the Queenwith the opening of their Crosby Street Hotel in New Yorks SoHo neighborhood in late 2009. Kit furnished the hotel, built from scratch on the site of a former parking lot, with eye-catching contemporary art, overstuffed chesterfields in colorful fabrics, and such Anglo-inspired necessities as a drawing room, afternoon tea, and numerous oversize portraits of dogs.

Gamescom is a noisy, crowded mess. Shoulder to shoulder with patrons that didn't seem to care what they bump into, I trudged my way to my next appointment. As I stepped through the door to the meeting room, something unexpected happened. I was teleported from a loud convention center to a rebellious teenager's room.
Seated at the foot of a twin-sized bed, I took in my surroundings. The top of a makeshift television stand housed a half-smoked joint, while a pair of dirty Converse rested underneath. Posters of influential punk rockers littered the wall, all askew. "Fuck" was scrawled on almost everything, but especially a tattered American flag.
I wasn't in Germany anymore. I was in Arcadia Bay, Oregon. More specifically, I was in Chloe's safe place -- the only spot in the world where a misunderstood teenage girl can be herself. I was inside the world of Dontnod's newly announced Life is Strange, and it was a wonderful place to be.
view full story + commentsFar Cry 3 had some pretty wild moments. Like, remember when Vaas was dancing around on the stripper pole? Good stuff. Far Cry 4 will have some crazy segments as well, but these are a little more grounded to the core of the game.
Scattered around Kyrat are hidden tankas that, once discovered, allow the main character to meditate and travel to Shangri-La to relieve the life of a legendary warrior. You'll be transported to a surreal world with floating islands and you are equipped with only a bow and arrow to take on the enemies of these environments.
Oh, and you have a tiger that you can command to attack others. The tiger can also turn invisible.
view full story + commentsThough it was initially seen as "Jaws-in-space," the legacy for Alien is certainly much more pristine than the one with the giant shark. Originally released in 1979, the first Alien would eventually become a much-loved horror film that spawned a major movie franchise. And while the sequels would get more attention and prominence among fans, the original still holds a special place in the hearts of fans.
After the release of some rather disappointing Alien titles, and with the Cameron interpretation of Alien as the de-facto standard for the franchise, the developers at Creative Assembly believed it was about time fans went back to the roots of the series. Just a week before gamescom, Sega invited Destructoid out to get some quality time with Alien: Isolation, and to speak with the game's creative lead, Alistair Hope. During our time, we got to learn just how different horror is when faced off with something out of your league.
view full story + commentsAssassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was a huge game. Like, you could easily sink 100 hours into that whole experience before getting 100 percent completion. So Assassin's Creed Rogue may or may not be quite the game for you. It just depends, really.
If you couldn't get enough of the pirate sailing and high seas traveling, then you'll be all over Rogue. (Those of you stuck on last-gen platforms, at least). If you've had more than your fill already though, well, Rogue may not have enough to offer you.
Personally, I'm in the camp that's excited for Rogue. More so than Unity, in fact. The open ocean stuff still intrigues me enough to warrant another adventure on a map that's comparable to Assassin's Creed IV's. But more than that, I like the idea of playing as a Templar this time around.
view full story + commentsI wasn't very happy with Dragon Age II.
Whereas Origins was a glorious return to old-school RPG sensibilities, Dragon Age II played like an action game that took place in the same universe. I liked the sequel for different reasons, but it felt like a wasted opportunity as it attempted to juggle some of the RPG elements from Origins while having some faults of its own, like re-used environments and a lack of scale.
If you felt the same way, Inquisition may be for you.
view full story + commentsI got my hands on Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel recently, and I've got some hot info on the new mechanics, and one of the new player characters, Athena the Gladiator. The game's new Stingray vehicle has a neat trick to it, there may be smart-targeting laser guns in this new iteration, most importantly, Athena is definitely a badass.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel releases in North America on October 14th, 2014; with the worldwide release following on the 17th.
The next Dead Island game isn't Dead Island 2. Of course, Dead Island: Riptide already showed the series' disregard for numeration. Counting the early access MOBA, Dead Island 2 should be Dead Island 5. But Dead Island is doing things differently in order to "create a universe in this IP."
And from this comes Escape Dead Island, a single-player only, cel-shaded "survival mystery" that's "Groundhog's Day meets Memento." I wouldn't go that far. It's something different, though.
view full story + commentsYup, you read that headline correctly. Platinum Games, the maker of such fine titles as Mad World, Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising, The Wonderful 101, and more, is creating a game based on The Legend of Korra series. It's being published by Activision as a download-only title for PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4.
We all saw the reveal teaser yesterday, but now it's time I told you how the game plays. Platinum is aiming to ship this one out in the fall of this year, and based on what I got to play of the alpha build, the game is shaping up to be a pretty solid action brawler.
view full story + commentsWhat can be done freshen up the zombie genre at this point? Videogames, television shows, movies, comics -- virtually every pop culture medium's been infested by the craze, long ago hitting a saturation (and then oversaturation) point. So, how does a developer like Techland, who's most well-known recently for its zombie games, take the concept and still manage to make it its own?
Techland's creating a game about zombies, that isn't really about zombies. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, that's what it's doing with Dying Light. And who knows -- maybe that's the take on the undead genre that'll liven it up a bit.
view full story + commentsFantasy games have some of my favorite settings in all of videogames. Forests, mountains, chasms, rivers -- they all have a serenity and majesty about them that wonderfully adds to the sense of scale. It shouldn't surprise me that Dragon Age: Inquisition is poised to be incredibly huge and make nice use of the locations. At the beginning of a 30-minute presentation, I couldn't help but be amazed anyway.
The first thing I noticed in the hands-off demo was simply how big everything was. The open area that we started in seemed to stretch on forever -- mountains book-ending the sides, with a ton of detail in between, thanks to the use of the Frostbite 3 engine. Inquisition's executive producer made sure to make a point that everything we could see could be traveled to.
I wasn't out of my mind for thinking that it looked big. That area alone was larger than the entire play space of Dragon Age: Origins. Inquisition will be the biggest Dragon Age game to date. But, all that area isn't going to waste. Every location in Inquisition is part of a larger story.
view full story + commentsThe last decade has brought us ten new Call of Duty games. With that steady drip of titles, the series' developers have figured out how to craft increasingly elaborate action scenarios. Despite being at it for a while, the franchise shows no signs of slowing down. That's great news for players that like their games with plenty of adrenaline-fueled moments.
At E3, Activision was showing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare in hands-off presentations. While that format isn't very conducive to getting a good feel for games, the demo did a fine job of driving home the point that Advanced Warfare is going to be laced with over-the-top setpieces.
view full story + commentsThe Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain E3 trailer was good, but I'm used to good trailers for Metal Gear. It didn't light a fire in my belly. Ground Zeroes didn't exactly do so either. The behind-closed-doors Phantom Pain gameplay demonstration? Yes, yes, yes.
Red robot-armed Snake (Big Boss) ventures into an Afghan desert on horseback with Ocelot. The camera took a low angle long enough behind the two riders to appreciate some nice horse butt strut. This is the start of operation aw crap Miller forgot his sunglasses when he was kidnapped, go bring them back to him and rescue him while you're there I guess.
The introductory cutscene transitions seamlessly to gameplay. Snake's horse poops a bunch and the demo begins.
view full story + commentsAlong with our open world walkthrough, Max Scoville and I went ahead and checked out the competitive multiplayer in Destiny. We gave both maps a spin, and we also checked out each playable class for the videos.
The biggest thing you need to know is that all the weapons you can carry in the main game can be brought into multiplayer. Even bigger, you can switch your guns at any time from your inventory while in the middle of the match. No grabbing guns from the ground, no limited loadouts, just whatever you have with you. Up to at least 18 guns!
view full story + commentsYou all saw the gameplay footage of Far Cry 4, right? Well I got to play through the demo myself, specifically focused on taking over the outpost (now referred to as fortresses). We saw how to take it over from the sky at the press conference, but I decided to take things differently by riding a big elephant into battle. It was glorious.

At the reveal event for Alien: Isolation, we were shown a lengthy demo that got right to the heart of the conflict at-hand: Amanda Ripley trying to navigate a space station as a very aggressive Xenomorph hunted her. In our first look at the game, those were the only two entities present. We were told at the time that there'd be some human survivors, but the developers were fairly tight-lipped as to what their roles would be.
Now that we've had a second chance at Alien: Isolation with a new build developed specifically for a pre-E3 event, the picture's significantly clearer as to how these interactions will go. This demo, which was about as long as the first one we saw, did more to highlight what some of the game's shortcomings might be. That said, it also reinforced our initial impression that Isolation is poised to be a tense, heart-pounding affair.
view full story + commentsDriving is dangerous. We take it for granted, but you're more likely to die driving to the airport than zipping through the air a mile high in a heavy, metal tube. I am pretty okay at driving, but I am notably not great at driving video games. I crash a lot, even while speeding through a track designed for the sole purpose of being driven on.
I picked the loudest, yellowest Lamborghini. The camera zoomed in and showed little specs of water on the car as if had just went through a wash. I hit start race. Then Forza Horizon 2 tried to have me killed.

Criminology Scholar Sheldon L. Messinger Dies at Age 77 Professor Emeritus Sheldon L. Messinger, a distinguished scholar in the fields of criminology and sociology, died in Berkeley on Thursday, March 6, of complications related to lymphoma. He was 77 years old. "A mainstay of the Center for the Study of Law and Society's activities, Sheldon Messinger contributed greatly to the intellectual development of faculty and students," says Boalt Hall professor emeritus Philip Selznick. "For Shelly, every student was a colleague, and every colleague was a student." Messinger served as vice chairman for the Center for the Study of Law and Society from 1961 to 1970. Messinger became a professor as well as acting dean of UC Berkeley's School of Criminology in 1970. He was appointed dean of the former School of Criminology in July 1971 and served until June 1975. He became the Elizabeth Josselyn Boalt Professor of Law in 1977 as part of the law school's newly formed Jurisprudence and Social Policy (JSP) Program. He served on the JSP faculty for 14 years, focusing primarily on deviance and social control. During his career, he was the recipient of numerous professional awards, including the Richard A. McGee Award for Outstanding Contributions to Criminal Justice Research from the American Justice Institute and the Award of Merit from the California Bureau of Criminal Statistics. He also received the Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Field of Criminology and the Presidents Award, both from the Western Society of Criminology. Messinger's former student, Thomas G. Blomberg, is the Sheldon L. Messinger Professor of Criminology at Florida State University's School of Criminology and Criminal Justice. "Shelly had an uncanny knack for making people see their own work in new ways, and in ways that immeasurably improved upon it," says Boalt Hall professor Malcolm Feeley. "I am not alone in recognizing these contributions; Shelly may go down in academic annals for being one of the few scholars, if not the only one, for whom a collection of essays in his honor went from a hardback to a paperback edition, and then into a revised second edition." Titled Punishment and Social Control: Essays in Honor of Sheldon L. Messinger, the book was edited by T. G. Blomberg and S. Cohen and published in 1996. Following his retirement, Messinger remained active in university matters, serving as the founding chair of the policy board for the UC Berkeley Retirement Center, chair of the UC systemwide emeriti association, chair of the Academic Senate Committee on University-Emeriti Relations, and as one of the principle architects of the Health Care Facilitator Program-a service that helps UC health care plan members understand benefits and patient rights as well as resolve coverage and access problems. "Shelly will be missed not only for his ability to clearly articulate an issue, but also the way he did so with great heart and wit," says Shelley Glazer, executive director of the UC Berkeley Retirement Center. "His advocacy on behalf of UC emeriti and retirees will have enduring impact on all of us, and he will be sorely missed." Messinger was married for 53 years to Mildred Handler, who passed away in August 2000. He is survived by his sons, Adam of Berkeley and Eli of Oakland. His sons graduated from UC Berkeley in 1978 and 1980, respectively. He also is survived by his brother, Jay, of Chicago. The family will hold a private memorial service. UC Berkeley is also planning a memorial service. A press release is available on the UC Berkeley website. For more information, please contact Erin Campbell at 510-643-8010 or email@example.com.

Kerry Washington, Django Unchained
As a long-suffering slave whose husband races to reunite with her, Washington's Broomhilda could easily have been a fantasy figure, the spectre of an ideal spouse who provides an emotional backbone for Django's journey. But Washington finds a way to make even her dreamtime appearances in the film seem purposeful, and more than that, powerful, so that by the time she and him are reunited, that connection means even more.
