I've been playing this one close to my chest for a while, because I wanted to test it out before posting. (Wanted to make sure it didn't suck tremendously.)
NOTE: Updated for Dominion! New stats, too. After running a couple hundred missions in the Vargur fits I have posted here, I was curious to see if the Maelstrom could work with a similar setup. The answer is yes, and much better than I expected. It needed help with tracking, however, to match the Varg's built-in bonus, and it loses damage because faction ammo gets just too expensive to use...but otherwise, it worked great. I give you the following stats (updated): Barrage: 781 DPS Turrets. 8.5KM Optimal + 69KM Falloff. EMP/Fusion/Phased Plasma: 852 DPS Turrets. 4.2KM Optimal + 46KM Falloff. Resistances (setup for angels): 48.3% EM, 58.6% TH, 69% KIN, 86.2% EXP Defense (against angels): 850 cap booster sustained. The cap boosted shield tank works just fine for any mission I've run, though I haven't put it through Angel Extravaganza or Smash The Supplier yet. (Might have trouble with those two.) For comparison, here's an image of the damage curve compared to my T2 Vargur fit, both targets shooting a battleship class target (drones turned off, Baby Varg in green): EDIT - Here's something crazy: The Vargur's range in the graph below is actually the Dominion range of this fit. That big of an improvement. Pretty nice huh? Fly it like a pre-Dominion Vargur! It does pretty well up until around 40KM, which makes it still very useable against Angel targets. If you plan on hopping into a Vargur some day, this may make excellent training wheels in the mean time. EDIT: Since Dominion came out, the hardest part of this fit that I was mulling over before updating it was the rigs. In the end, I settled with a happy medium of extra damage, range, and tank. If you'd prefer something else, I'll leave it up to you. ;) One last note: Since Valkyries seem to be performing almost as well against unwebbed frigs as Warriors, I (tentatively) recommend 5x Valks, 2x Berserks for drones. Pop the Serks out for BSs with 3x valks, and use just Valkyries for the rest. EDIT: Made a few updates thanks to Zee87. Thanks man! LAST EDIT: New rigs for even more killing efficiency. See last post by me. 2/11/11 EDIT: I get asked a lot how the Mael should be fit while you're training for T2 ACs. Without being able to use Barrage, I think that the artillery Maelstrom has more to offer for the average mission. I would fit the ship as following, using 1200s because of the better tracking and faster rate of fire: [Maelstrom, Arty Complement] 1200mm Heavy 'Scout' Artillery I, Republic Fleet Fusion L 1200mm Heavy 'Scout' Artillery I, Republic Fleet Fusion L 1200mm Heavy 'Scout' Artillery I, Republic Fleet Fusion L 1200mm Heavy 'Scout' Artillery I, Republic Fleet Fusion L 1200mm Heavy 'Scout' Artillery I, Republic Fleet Fusion L 1200mm Heavy 'Scout' Artillery I, Republic Fleet Fusion L 1200mm Heavy 'Scout' Artillery I, Republic Fleet Fusion L 1200mm Heavy 'Scout' Artillery I, Republic Fleet Fusion L 100MN Afterburner II Invulnerability Field II Invulnerability Field II Explosion Dampening Field II Heavy Capacitor Booster II, Cap Booster 800 X-Large Shield Booster II Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II Republic Fleet Gyrostabilizer Republic Fleet Gyrostabilizer Republic Fleet Gyrostabilizer Large Projectile Burst Aerator II Large Core Defence Capacitor Safeguard I Large Core Defence Capacitor Safeguard I |
nice graph. someone likes thier matar ships.
Playing with EFT and with minimal skills needed to equip this ship I get about 1min 15s of cap time with everything on, and about 10:18 with the shield booster off. While flying this are you supposed to pulse the booster or am I just too underskilled for this fit?
Thanks for all the great minnie fits and the info.
For most missions a large SB is plenty, which means you don't need the cap booster, which leaves you room for a DC and another hardener, and I'd use another hardener instead of a SBA too; taking less damage beats repping less damage anyday ( and leaves you more cap to waste attempting to thrash the whale around with the AB... ). This is nice for those odd missions where you need a huge tank though.
Also, fit a pair of t2 ambits, they're cheap.
Updated yet again. Thanks to comments from Liang and other EVE-O folks on getting the 800mm ACs to fit without a Co-Proc, and with 2x TE IIs.cap boosters work well, allows you to fit more gank and still have the cap when needed. I don't need to use it vm but is necessary. got one on my nm, this is my setup with the exception of my rigs are all still ccc. http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/29777-Nightmare-Bad-Dreams.html
And for showing me the light that 3x Hardeners > 2x Hardeners + SBA on cap boosted setups.
Umm....while the numbers look good I wonder at the effectiveness against stuff orbiting you at 50k. Even with an AB a BS still moves pretty damn slow to close the range.
You could switch the AB to a Republic Fleet AB, it is relative cheap and improves speed and cap stability.
Very good fit, +1 from me
Me again, just wanted to ask how this fit would fare without the t2 guns/ammo. I'm training for t2 weaponry but takes hell of a time
Why do you use a Burst Aerator and not a Collision Accellerator Rig?
The damage is the same, but using the CA you get a higher alpha
great setup, almost identical to the one i use (just more expensive)
+2 from me
I really like this setup, but I cant use the T2 guns yet..
Is there any Maelstrom fit that is capable of running lvl 4 missions AND not highly skill intensive?

Do you think this fit would work okay with a co-processor and 2 T2 Gyros instead of 3 Republic Fleet Gyros? Also, how much is this build dependent on T2 Heavy Drones? Will just T2 Medium drones work okay?

If you aren't going to use the RF Gyros (understandable, but I strongly, strongly recommend them for missioning), you would be better off replacing the XL Shield Booster II with a C5-L X-Large Shield Booster instead of using fewer gyrostabilizers.
More damage = faster missions = more money, and the reduction in tank isn't that significant. (More ships dead faster also reduces your dependence on a beefy tank.)
If you can't use T2 Heavies, using 5x T2 Medium drones is 100% fine. The only reason I have heavies on there is because I've found T2 Medium drones more than do the job of killing mission frigs including Spider Drones, so having a flight of T2 Lights seemed like a waste. With 2x Heavies and 5x Mediums, I send out the medium drones to kill everything until only BSs remain, and then I recall two of the mediums and send out the heavies for better damage against the BS/BCs.
Looking again, I still don't like cap safeguard rigs, especially a) with AB, and b) with a cap booster. Ignoring the drain from hardeners, your cap is used for shield boost, and manoevering, so; great, less cap per rep, but it doesn't help the AB/MWD at all, other than having more free cap. A CCC won't make you use less cap per rep, but it gives a greater available pool of cap to use for both cap-munching mods, and also has no drawback so you take a little less damage.
TBH a cap booster is all the cap mod you need anyway, I'd rather either fit another ambit or a metastasis rig in there.
So this only works well on Angel missions?
Good dmg, good range, ing crap for cap, if its a 5-pocket deadspace, prepare to dock often to refuel
Good dmg, good range, ing crap for cap, if its a 5-pocket deadspace, prepare to dock often to refuelThis may sound crazy. But, expanded cargoholds exist for a reason.
Good dmg, good range, ing crap for cap, if its a 5-pocket deadspace, prepare to dock often to refuel
To be fair, that's what the heavy cap booster is for. IIRC, I never had to redock for more charges on World's Collide, and that was before Dominion. (I've since moved on to the Vargur.) Of course, I was a bit more stingy with my cap charges as well, only using them when I was below 20% cap.
Ah well, I'll take my first -1. It was coming eventually.
I just looked at this fitting and it's great ... i would copy it if i could ( skills not trained and so on )
so I replaced:
the t2 weapons with t1 800mm proto siege cannons, one metastasis adjuster with an anti-em screen, and the explosion dampening with a target painter t2 in order to regain the loss in falloff ...
can i fit like that or is that setup crap ?
this looks fine, just curious to why you don't use a faction or deadspace medium shield booster so that you could drop that silly cap booster.
nah works for me, i just know of people that run the medium booster and it apparently works well. I don't run missions on my main so I can't really try it out.this looks fine, just curious to why you don't use a faction or deadspace medium shield booster so that you could drop that silly cap booster.
This is a good question, but the short answer is that the tank would be worse, and it would still run into cap issues.
A single deadspace medium shield booster could run indefinitely with this setup, but it would be a desperately thin tank for how close this ship usually is to the damage. Two medium deadspace boosters couldn't be sustained for very long at all, and that would preclude every turning on the afterburner. I'm very unwilling to sacrifice damage for cap stability, because applied damage is what makes you money, not perma-tanking.
The XL Booster offers good burst effectiveness for when things get hairy, and runs for a much longer time than you would think if you just pay a marginal amount of attention to your shield and cap boosters.
I guess the other reason is that I set out for this to be a completely T2 fit. Somewhere along the way I cheated by adding the RF Gyros, but to be honest, I think RF Gyros should be on everyone's short list if they're serious about missioning with a Minnie ship. With the exception of one or two fits, I've been on a kick of trying to get the most performance for the buck out of my fits because I think BC is full of enough fantasy fits.
(Hope that wasn't an annoyingly long response for a simple question.)
SB, I didn't want to disrespect by submitting this loadout I came up with. If it weren't for your setup, anyway, I'd probably have never come up with this one. Anyway, I just wanted to share. It's really not much different, just tracking comp. instead of AB, and the rigs are different... And drones.
SB (saw you in Lustrevik last night, I think, in your God of Missions), I have a question for you: The one set of NPCs which really get my goat are the ones in the mission The Assault (Serpentis). It's very easy to get full room aggro in that mission and the NPCs do excellent range (Megathron NPC 65kms Kin damage) and the overall DPS is extremely high. Even with an alt repping me, I can't hold out for long enough in my T2 AC fit Maelstrom for the NPCs to get into range to start killing enough of them to bring down the DPS before I have to warp out. The only way, it seems, to do the mission is the slow and boring kite them at range with Arties, using a SeBo to counter the damping they do. Do you perhaps have a decent strategy for doing this mission that is soloable using ACs in the Mael (can't afford a Vargur yet)?
I have one question as to your rigging in your fit. Since you already have two TEs and one TC, do the Metastasis and Amit rigs make much of a difference? say perhaps 5% or so?
Edit: I have another question: If one is basically just parking the Mael and tanking and shooting, with no AB (the way I usually do it, especially for Angels), would it not be useful to invest in 3 Sentries and 5 Lights in drones? The 3 Sentries would add even more awesome sauce to an already awesome setup and the 5 Lights should be more than enough to kill the pesky little buggers after all the big boys are dead, shouldn't they?
I would like to know that do you swap only one rat specific hardener or do you sometimes drop another inv for second hardener? Or is that pointless with resists you already have?
Loving this setup +1
This is an absolute monster of a fit! chews through missions like nothing else! +1
Love the fit, and am a bit fan of ACs. Will be a nice step as I go from my Loki (another AC ship) to a Vargur.
This probably have been asked.. but i'm about to buy the last to fit my Maelstrom.. i have some questions though:
1. Can i safely jump into lvl 4 missions in this build? or doest it take some experience to fly it... (i've been flying lvl 3 missions for a long time)
2. do you need the t2 rig + faction gear to do this? and can you do it with a t1 AC? or does the AC give higher bonus to range and damage then the t1 versions.
The loadout that is pictured is date 28 January 2010, what is the final updated version...................
Thanks for the answer, really good.. however answers tend to give birth to more questions... so i got only one... wich probably is a bit silly, since you wouldn't be doing this if it weren't so Does large barrages cost a ton?
Without even running numbers I can tell you this setup has serious flaws:
1: Shield Safeguards are GARBAGE, cap control circuits offer higher efficiency over time
2: The Proj rig is useless as its penalized far too much and your essentially wasting a rig slot which could be used more efficiently.
3: Cap boosters on NPCing ship is a fools errand. Your better off adjusting your cap recharge via rigs/modules to keep up cap.
4: This is no where near a Vargur, its not a baby varg, its not even close. Vargur puts up over 900dps with only guns, tanks more, and is faster/more agile/high slots to spare, etc etc.
SB, can we get an updated dps/range graph to include the Mach?
SB, can we get an updated dps/range graph to include the Mach?
Small question....My cpu is limiting this set up. I have my gunnery cpu at 5, but I cant mount this...
What skill(s) should I increase to get this to work?
And where would I obtain these Rf gyros, and how much do they cost?
**sorry, still a novice**
If its 60 million each ove got the cash for that...just cant seem to find anyone willing to ell em...I don't have LP's with the correct factions to buy em atm.
I just want to re-iterate a point i know has been made earlier, but for noobs, this is a biggie. If you cant fit t2 autos on this, or tempest or whatever, dont even bother.
With all said and done, what is the final configuration looking like
Hello there, Im a new player, gonna train my battleship skills in few days, and I saw your setup. Of course I'll have to train lots of skills, before I can equip all the written stuff, but first I'd like to ask is there a biggie between 800mm Repeating Artillery II and 800mm Heavy 'Scout' Repeating Artillery I turrets? Because I cannot see the difference:) (except for trained skills bonuses).any t2 weapon type will be better for couple reasons.
Rudlow: I wouldnt use it without t2 guns, the barrage reaaaaally makes this build usable or you have to move too much. So until you can fit t2 autocannons just use 1200mm arties.
So...with everything.. what would be the best ammo, drones and targeting computer script to be used?
First, thank you very much for your answers. I still got some tho:) Lets say I use Tech1 1200mm Artillery turrets (scouts for more damage), and their accuracy falloff is 35km, what would u suggest me to use for closer ships or small ships? My drones are really weak so far, so should I add some smaller arties in few slots or should I go all the way down with 1200mm? Thank you.
t2 rigs are worth it if you have the isk for them and fit them on expensive ships.
this ships isn't very expensive.
sb just put it on there cause she's an eft warrior carebear.
Keep the 1200 and train up your drone skills. They are important to kill off the scrambler frigs anyway. AAAND always useful since almost all ships use them. And you dont need to go that crazy with drone training tbh for the difference to be enough for them to kill off the smaller stuff.
Okey, working on your advices then:) One more question tho. What handwritings should I use? (I mean 6-10 slots). Thanks.large proj. damg. ones would be good. don't plug 5% ones in your clone unless you have +5 learning imps. also.
So I have a few questions:
1. T2 guns is a long way out, so do you recommend 1200mm or 1400mm best named?
2. Most fits I see have 3 x CCC rigs. Is your selection geared more towards the auto setup, or will they perform as well with a 8 x 1200mm arty setup?
Quote from: FiriaI'm pretty far off from being able to use this. In fact, I JUST learned the Battleship Skill, and can't even fit the large guns. I've been taking it out on test runs in level 3's with medium guns to see how it handles, and check on tank fittings. So I'm probably like, a month away from being able to fly this. But hey, something to shoot for! (Also, one of the better fits I've seen after sifting through so many intentionally fail fits.)
I'm curious though, how necessary is that T2 rig? More experienced players than I have told me that T2 rigs are almost never worth their price tag. I figure I'd quiz the architect before assuming it's over the top and unnecessary. Otherwise I'm thinking I'll use a T1 rig for cost effectiveness.
Haha! Maybe that isn't too far off the truth. The short answer to your question Fira is that the T2 rig isn't absolutely necessary, and using a T1 version won't be too bad.
But here's the logic behind it's inclusion: It takes a long time to train up to a Vargur, and a still significant amount of time to crosstrain Gallente well enough where flying a Machariel would be worth your while. You should be using this ship and fit for a long time, and the T2 Aerator offers a big enough performance boost over the T1 version - or even a fourth RF Gyro - to justify its price.
Once you're done with the ship, you can sell it with the T2 rig on it and I'm pretty positive someone would pay to take it off your hands, so it isn't an unrecoverable cost. Don't buy it until you're good and comfortable in the ship however, and until losing a ship in an L4 mission is a totally alien concept to you. Your other parts may drop, but that rig is gone for good if the ship goes explodey.
(As a general rule, I would agree that T2 rigs aren't usually worth their price. But the T2 Aerator is an exception because of how the stacking penalty works, and because when missioning more damage = more money.)
think most use pest for pvp. it has utility highs.
I appreciate your fit but I do have to ask. Why T1 capacitor safeguards. The T2s are really cheap. 20-30 per depending on where you shop.eve has something called calibration. it limits the type of rigs you're allowed to fit on ships.
I just won a fight against a Drake and a Vengance in this PVE fit. Oh, and it kills NPCs pretty, too.
Only difference to my fit: I use T1 ACs, a Microwarpdrive and CCC Rigs for the MWD.
<3 AC Mael.
Just askin im starting to get into minmatar bs and the maelstrom is what ive got atm and also a friend of mine kindly gave me a dread guristers XL shield booster.
Now for the issues.
i cant fit tech 2 guns
im new to minmatar bs and they seam to be the hardest to fit.
is this fit ok without tech 2 guns and not completly fantastic shield skills ?
Awesome Just got tech 2 resists today .. CheersJust askin im starting to get into minmatar bs and the maelstrom is what ive got atm and also a friend of mine kindly gave me a dread guristers XL shield booster.
Now for the issues.

The fit is definitely okay without completely fantastic shield skills (being able to fit T2 invulns and hardeners is a must though), but without having T2 ACs, you're probably better off using 1200mm or 1400mm artillery. Your range will just be too limited.
The good news is that 1200mm artillery fits right into the rest of this loadout without issues. And IIRC, you can drop a TE for a DPS to fit 1400mm's.
would having this ship plow missions be better than using an raven?
this even looks like it is better than my abaddon!
While it won't give pretty graphs or dps numbers on eft, have you considered rolling with some painter drones? I use 3x heavy painters and 5x warrior II on my fleet tempest, and wonder if the mael would similarly benefit from the painter drones. basically they'd help you land more quality hits in the falloff range, and you can still switch to lights for orbiting frigs.

It's an interesting idea, and I'll have to try it, but I must confess I have a low opinion of painter drones. The stacking penalty means that 3x heavy painter drones are about as effective as a single skilled Target Painter on your ship. The downside being the target isn't painted nearly as quickly as activating a module, and the thing you need them for (small ships) would be dead before the painter drones arrive to increase their sig. Damage is always damage, however.
Maybe I'm wrong about them, and I might give it a shot though.
I'm EFT warrior-ing around with this setup, and apparently, dropping a invul II and putting in a shield boost amplifier II will give a slightly better tank
Is this something worth pursuing ? I mean, the bonus tanking effect will be apparent only when boosting.
It's a trade off between a little more resilience when not boosting vs a bigger boost amount when you ARE boosting.
3 painting drones equaling 1 module is about right, but we don't have a spare midslot for the module on either the mael or the shield tanked tempest. with the mael's higher drone bandwitdh, what about 2x heavy painter and 3x valk II? I have to admit my results with painter drones looking better than damage drones may be due to my low drone skills (only 900k), where the ewar drones are not affected as much.
Hi, i've started to fly a maelstrom and run L4s today, and i've some questions. I hope you can help me.
I don't have T2 gun skills, so i replaced T2 guns with scout versions. I've 567 dps with drones in EFT. I guess it's hard to run L4s without cap booster, isn't it? If we assume cap booster is a must have, which skills do you suggest me to spend my skill points which comes from learning skills (about 1m sp)? I thought Energy Systems Operation (level IV now) to V and Energy Management (level III now) to V, but it's unnecessary if i use cap booster.
Secondly, is there any fitting for nullsec Angel Cartel ratting that you can suggest? Thank you so much.
I also tend to use only a large shield booster and a an amp. instead of the cap-booster. When we know the missions very well, we know exactly how much tank is needed. For angel extravaganza bonus room, the cap-booster and xl-shield booster seems a good idea.
Seriously: you should probably add in the description: use 1200meta 4 if you cant use t2 AC. since it gets asked all the time :)
Ask sir, and ye shall receive. I've pasted the alternate Artillery fit into the main description.
Totally new, few questions:
What does 'Arty' mean?
Who/what is Dominion? keep seeing it pop and I dont have a clue what it is..
Totally new, few questions:
What does 'Arty' mean?
Who/what is Dominion? keep seeing it pop and I dont have a clue what it is..
arty = artillery. aka the long range projectile weapon
Dominion = previous expansion to eve that boosted projectile weapons quite a bit hence a lot of fits will state post or pre dominion as that expansion made a big difference in how they work.
Pretty new to EVE, what would be the ammo that you would use regularly? I would assume EMP/Fusion/Phased and not Barrage, though I could be wrong.
I like this build a lot but i have 2 questions about it:the only time I would really use a prop mod on a bs is for movement between far off gates. sure it's nice to nice on a mach to increase damg. fast and speed tank. but, that's really the only bs it's good on.
1) Without an AB this ship is basically stopped. How does it sustain dmg if you pop withing 5-10km with 10 enemies shooting at you? Considering all level 5 shield skills.
2) Autocannons are able to deal with glued enemies like frigates? Again i can't see this ship getting distance from anything so i gotta fight at point blank range in some missions. Sorry my lack of knowledge abut drones too idk if berserker and valkyrie can deal with frigates always used hobgoblins.
Anyone know how this would fare in an Angel Sanctum or or at least a Haven?
Love this fit, one observation regards the 3 Hardeners, my EveHQ shows that 2 CN Inv would give the same tank vs Angels and would free a mid for a RF AB - obviously unless your missioning for a corps that gives the CN Inv's for LP's your looking at a lot more expense but Id say it would be worthwhile.

Juneau could see record heat this weekend
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP & KINY) — Juneau could see record high temperatures this
weekend after a string of abnormally warm days that have left some
residents grumbling about the heat.
National Weather Service meteorologist Rick Fritsch says daytime highs
this week have run as much as 10-14 degrees above normal at the Juneau
airport. He says normal temps for this time of year are around 62
Fritsch says Juneau could see record temps this weekend. Saturday's
record high at the airport is 83 degrees, dating to 1969, while Sunday's
is 82 degrees, dating to 1948.
Fritsch says the warm weather is due to a thermal trough that's also
triggered thunderstorms in other parts of southeast Alaska.
This weekend's warm temperatures are not
expected to exceed the warmest day ever in Juneau to date. That
occurred on July 7, 1975, when it hit 90 degrees at the airport.
The second warmest temperature ever was 86 degrees on June 13, 1969, 44
years ago.
The forecast for the next two weeks calls for above normal temperatures
and below normal precipitation for Juneau.
Nugget Alaskan Outfitters moving to Mendenhall
One of the tenants of the Nugget Mall in Juneau is getting set to pack
up and move on down the road.
After 25 years in its current location, Nugget Alaskan Outfitters will
soon be moving to the center portion of the Mendenhall Mall that
previously housed JC Penny and Gottschalks.
Ron Flint is the managing partner of the business and he says they're
making a move after a long time at the Nugget Mall.
They think it'll be great for their customers and avid supporters and
they're looking forward to it, he says.
When asked what led to the decision, Flint indicated that their lease
term was up at the Nugget Mall and he thought it would be a good time to
look around and see what was available.
After consulting with a real estate agent and a representative from
Mendenhall Mall, Flint says he found they had something to look at.
He thinks it's going to be great for the business as it's definitely a
bigger area.
Their current space is 11,000 square feet and their new location will
provide them with 15,000 square feet, according to a company release.
They won't devote all of it to a sales floor, Flint says, and the extra
space will allow them to have greater efficiencies in warehousing and
storage with their footwear among other things.
They're looking forward to the efficiencies it'll create for them as
they're just a little cramped where they're at, he says.
Flint's father, Bill Flint, opened the Nugget Department Store in 1974.
Flint says they're looking at getting into the new space by the end of
City Attorney Search Subcommittee meeting
Saturday to examine applicants
There is a pool of eight candidates to become the City and Borough's new
The Assembly City Attorney Search Subcommittee will meet Saturday
afternoon according to Assembly member Randy Wanamaker who was on Action
Line Friday. He says there appears to be six candidates who qualify and
meet the minimum standards.
Those standards include a minimum of ten years of experience, an Alaska
bar member, and the experience must be a combination of various aspects
of law, he says.
That's so they know they can step into the job without too steep a
learning curve, Wanamaker says.
Wanamaker did not have their names. He plans to review their backgrounds
prior to the meeting.
In regards to the timeline for replacing John Hartle, who retires
effective July 1, Wanamaker says they'd like to have made their
selection by the end of June.
That's so Hartle can retire on June 30th, he says, and, if possible, on
July 1st they'll know they have a new person coming in.
He says that person will more than likely be working somewhere else and
they'll need to give notice and may need to move to Juneau so they
probably won't be on the job by July 1st.
They may have the opportunity to come in and meet staff, according to
Wanamaker, and get some guidelines on what the workload will be like.
He says they may have to do double duty until they get started.
They're hoping to get someone in position and on the job by the end of
July, Wanamaker says.
Assembly Ad Hoc Housing Committee to be
The work of the Assembly's Ad Hoc Housing Committee is done.
So says Assembly member Randy Wanamaker who served on the panel.
The panel wrapped up its work Thursday afternoon by reviewing a matrix
of suggestions received from the industry including realtors, lending
institutions, land owners, and developers for increasing the supply of
housing in Juneau.
Wanamaker says they felt it was time that the work of the committee had
progressed enough now that it should be able to be taken up by standing
committees and carried on from there.
The Ad Hoc committee can be formally dissolved now, he says, and the
work can be carried on by their other committees or by the Assembly and
city staff.
Wanamaker says that he thought they probably had more meetings than they
needed to, but they didn't realize it until later in the process.
There's enough information on the list of items that they've prepared
that it shouldn't be a committee of four people making decisions and
recommendations now, he says, it needs to be all nine of the Assembly
Everyone's happy to see it move on to the next level, according to

Wreckage removal plan being developed for plane
that crashed near Petersburg
(AP & KINY) - A preliminary report says the pilot in in a deadly Alaska
crash turned his sightseeing plane to avoid rising terrain and slammed
into the side of a mountain.
The pilot also said weather conditions had deteriorated throughout the
Clint Johnson is the Chief of the National Transportation Safety Board's
regional office in Alaska and he says their investigator in charge,
Bryce Banning, did have a chance to talk at length with the pilot and
that's basically what was said.
The pilot also said there were not mechanical issues he was able to
detect before the accident, Johnson says.
However, they are still in the preliminary stages of the accident
investigation, according to Johnson, and when Banning was on scene at
the investigation site he was not able to finish the wreckage exam.
That's primarily due to topography and the precarious location. So,
Johnson says, they're waiting for the plane to be recovered back to
Petersburg where Banning will finish the investigation.
Johnson says they're waiting for the operator and the operator's
insurance company to formulate a plan to get the wreckage out of there,
which will be quite a challenge.
He says they'll be dealing with heavily forested areas containing trees
in excess of 100 feet tall and very steep terrain.
Hopefully they'll get that done in the next few weeks, according to
Johnson. Everything's still in the very preliminary stages, he says.
He did want to thank the U.S. Coast Guard and Juneau Mountain Rescue for
their help, saying they did an excellent job.
The report by the NTSB says the pilot was making his fourth flight of
the day when the floatplane crashed June 4.
One passenger, 66-year-old Thomas L. Rising of Santa Fe, N.M., died and
two members of a Pennsylvania family were seriously injured. The pilot
and three other family members sustained minor injuries. The survivors
were rescued hours later.
KTUU-TV says the NTSB report was released late Wednesday.

MARK THIESSEN,Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell on Friday certified a
ballot initative application to legalize marijuana in Alaska.
Supporters now have a year to collect 30,169 signatures from qualified

AVO: Eruption likely under way at Alaska volcano
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Scientists have raised the alert level for a
volcano in the Alaska Peninsula.
The Alaska Earthquake Observatory says in a release that elevated
surface temperatures recorded Thursday morning at Veniaminof

at the intracaldera cone.
No ash plumes were observed Thursday, but clouds have obscured views
from a web cam aimed at the summit.
However, scientists say seismic tremors continue, which is an indication
of low-level effusive activity and small explosions.
The volcano has had elevated levels of seismic activity since Saturday,
along with steam emissions.
The volcano is located in the Aleutian Islands, about 480 miles
southwest of Anchorage.
Veniaminof has erupted at least 12 times in the past 200 years.

handle the criminal case of a former western Pennsylvania judge charged
with stealing cocaine from police evidence files in cases before him.
Former Washington County Judge Paul Pozonsky's preliminary hearing
Thursday has been postponed indefinitely.
He was charged by the state attorney general last month after retiring

Parnell extends disaster declaration for
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Gov. Sean Parnell has added more communities
affected by spring flooding to his disaster declaration.
The disaster area, which initially extended to Galena, Eagle, Fort Yukon
and others, has been amended to include areas like Emmonak and Alakanuk.
The declaration clears the way for state disaster aid in affected
communities. Parnell's office says the declaration amendment is in
response to prolonged flooding due to ice jams and high water from
excessive run-off.
Parnell, in a letter to legislative leaders last month, said he planned
to initially limit spending for the disaster to $1 million of the $3.4
million in the disaster relief fund.

the fund will be replenished with an additional $5 million when the
fiscal year begins July 1.

Chena Hot Springs land deal faces opposition
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — A second proposal to sell Fairbanks North Star
Borough land to Chena Hot Springs Resort owner Bernie Karl is opposed by
some borough assembly members who say the plan ignores guidelines set.

his resort.

a total price of $577,980.
The proposal now in front of the assembly would offer Karl a credit
worth $282,720, nearly half of the initial appraised figure, for public

EDUC-X150: Becoming the Best Student
An 8-Week "Academic Booster Shot"
2 credits, 1st and 2nd 8 Weeks (Fall and Spring), Cap 19
Find it under "EDUC-X150: Reading-Learning Techniques 1"
Download a flier for Spring 2015!
Coordinator: Anthony Guest-Scott, email@example.com
X150 is an "academic booster shot" for freshmen and sophomores who need to quickly and drastically ramp-up their performance and increase their academic success in all their classes. What we're looking to do with this booster shot is to invite students into a process of self-transformation. That transformation is one in which we facilitate changing students from surface learners into deep learners. As such, the central focus is not really so much activating a set of specific skills, but rather building an attitudinal framework that will be developed to cultivate skills. We will accomplish this through a variety of stimulating, useful, and collaborative activities and exercises in which students will themselves identify, design, and implement their own tools and strategies they can use in all their classes.
The overall objective is that students leave this course transformed into different kinds of learners—the best students. To facilitate this transformation, we must start with changing students' mental models of what it means to be a student, or to learn. For many, their way forward along this path is obstructed because they have learned to become "surface" learners. Surface learners look for facts and words they can memorize so they can focus only on passing their exams and their courses. And some students have figured out how to take this approach as far as it will go and ace their tests in high school. Others at least figure out how to get by and avoid failure. But that doesn't mean they've actually learned anything, enjoyed it at all, or that this approach will work in college.
How can we help you to become the best college student you can be? By creating opportunities for you to become reflexive, self-regulated, and deep learners:
Reflexive learners are self-aware – they set goals, monitor motivation and comprehension, and constantly evaluate their progress and performance on assignments, in specific areas of study, and in college more generally. They think about their own thinking, and connect this with their own broader educational, personal, and occupational goals.
Self-Regulated learners understand that learning and studying are active processes that they control. They know it is up to them to get what they want and what they need out of their education. They will find what they need to make that happen or create it if necessary. When they do encounter obstacles, they make the most of their avenues of support.
Deep learners, like other students, care about grades and careers, too—but they are most motivated to do well by a love of learning itself. It's not enough for them to go through the motions—they want to understand the meaning behind what they're learning. So they choose to make the most of all their college work, looking to broaden and deepen their perspective. This means that they treat their education as an opportunity for personal growth that will lead them to a life full of curiosity, wonder, understanding, and compassion. They invest in the idea that college will fine-tune their critical thinking, so they can meet and deconstruct the world as it is—with all of its complex problems and issues. And they use their education to develop the creativity necessary to re-imagine the world as it might be.
Using this framework, students will create and learn to effectively use an individually tailored skill set in tandem with their other classes that includes:
- constructing an academic autobiography and setting goals
- creating effective systems for organization and time management
- learning about learning
- thinking critically and creatively
- engaging, active listening, and note-taking
- reading and studying for better comprehension
- developing memory and taking tests
Some of these skills will be defined by the instructor as fundamental for becoming a successful learner, but there will be significant opportunity for students to specify their own individual objectives and make choices about which skills they need to develop the most as they gain an increased awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses.
By becoming reflexive, self-regulated, and deep learners, students will learn how to mine their college courses for ideas that effect permanent change in how they think, act, and feel. They'll learn how to get good grades, too, but they'll get far more than this – they'll learn how to get an education.

Watch Another Glenn Beck Theory Implode Before Your Very Eyes
A rumor turns into a Blaze exclusive, which turns into a fully debunked falsehood — all in the matter of hours.
Last night, terror expert Steve Emerson told Fox News host Sean Hannity that Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national who was a "person of interest" in connection to the Boston Marathon bombings, would be deported on Tuesday.
This morning, Glenn Beck's news network TheBlaze got on the case — aggressively.
Citing sources, Beck reported on his radio show Thursday morning that Ali Alharbi was connected to an important Saudi family and was being deported for "security and related grounds."
Beck, dismayed by the lack of mainstream media pickup of their story, urged listeners to spread it on social media while they kept after government officials for more information.
Then, at around 10:45 a.m., Cheatwood announced on the air that one of his reporters had told him that the government was now considering not deporting Ali Alharbi. Beck declared victory:
"Hopefull, we've just shut the engines down on a jet. That didn't happen after 9-11. We've learned since 9-11. The government, apparently, hasn't."
Unfortunately for Beck and The Blaze, to story was inaccurate. First, a senior law enforcement official told BuzzFeed that the rumor was false.
"We do have a Saudi in ICE custody…He is not related in any way to the investigation into the bombing. He's not in any way related to this investigation."
