Future of Music Coalition: Radio Consolidation Hurts
Washington - Dec 13, 2006 - The Future of Music Coalition (FMC) released a report called False Premises, False Promises: A Quantitative History of Ownership Consolidation in the Radio Industry that documents the effects of radio station ownership consolidation on musicians and the public. The FMC's data in the report shows that station ownership consolidation at the national and local levels has led to fewer choices in radio programming and harmed the listening public and those working in the music and media industries, including DJs, programmers and musicians.
A teleconference to discuss the report was held on Dec. 13 and featured Jenny Toomey, executive director, Future of Music Coalition; Tom Morello of Audioslave, The Nightwatchman, and formerly of Rage Against the Machine; Gene Kimmelman, vice president for federal and international affairs, Consumers Union; Michael Bracy, policy director, Future of Music Coalition; and Peter DiCola, research director, Future of Music Coalition and the report's author.
Some of the statistics presented in the report:
- The top four radio station owners have almost half of the listeners and the top 10 owners have almost two-thirds of listeners.
- The localness of radio ownership -- ownership by individuals living in the community -- has declined between 1975 and 2005 by almost one-third.
- 15 formats make up three-quarters of all commercial programming. Moreover, radio formats with different names can overlap up to 80 percent in terms of the songs played on them.
- Niche musical formats like classical, jazz, americana, bluegrass, new rock and folk, where they exist, are provided almost exclusively by smaller station groups.
- Across 155 markets, radio listenership has declined over the past 14 years, a 22 percent drop since its peak in 1989.
The 116-page report presents a history of radio broadcasting and consolidation that most broadcasters already know. The report presents its information with an intended audience of non-broadcast readers. The recurring theme of the report echoes the stance that only a handful of owners control the vast majority of stations and that the Telecom Act of 1996 has had a detrimental effect. The net effect is a reduction in format choices.
The NAB immediately issued its own rebuttal to the report and cite a report from the BIA Financial Network. A recent BIA report shows that the number of general programming formats provided by local radio stations increased by 7.5 percent since 2001. In addition, BIA notes that markets of all sizes saw substantial increases in the average number of specific programming formats provided, with an average 22.2 percent increase since 2001, and that across all markets since 1996 the number of general and specific programming formats has increased by 16 percent and 36.4 percent, respectively.
The NAB also counters the FMC claims that the 1996 Telecommunications Act has stifled diversity and led to homogenized programming.
- In just the last six years the number of U.S. Spanish-language radio stations increased by 45.5 percent. In 2000, there were 547 Hispanic radio stations; today, there are nearly 800, providing diverse types of music that include Mexican, Tejano and Ranchera.
- Asian-language radio stations have also increased. BIA reports that nine of the top 10 Asian markets have at least one Asian-programmed station in their market.
- 72.1 percent of African-Americans in Arbitron-rated markets can receive three or more Urban programmed stations compared to only 61.9 percent six years ago. More than 52 percent of all African-Americans living in Arbitron metro areas have four or more Urban programmed stations in their markets.

Has anyone every attempted fermenting their own soy sauce? I have seen a few recipes online, and they are all quite similar. One thing that is always mentioned is that there can be quite an odor after the paste is dried and fermenting has begun. I would like to hear any feedback from someone who has tried to do this. Did it stink really bad? Was it worth it? Thanks. |

I would assume how much you want to use. There are several brands on the market. You might go into an Asian market and ask them. |

I just started a new BB last night using stained glass and tile. The two are quite different in thickness. I'm at a point where I could probably cut the pieces off if I need to. I'm just wondering if anyone has mosiaced (sp?) with different thickness items and how it turned out? They will be close to each other. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could add extra bonding material under the thinner pieces to raise them up to the same height as the thicker pieces. Otherwise the finished project will be difficult to grout and will have a patchy appeareance. Grout will want to flow over the thinner material and will be a bear to remove. |
- Posted by calamity_j z7bc (My Page) on Thu, Jul 22, 10 at 14:28
I use different thickness all of the time, sometimes I do it to create a "look" I'm going for, I haven't done a bowling ball for a while now...have decided to switch to making my own cement balls(out of light globes filled with concrete then after curing,smash the glass off)as they will hold up in the freezing weather better, but have a few to mosaic, just been busy with other stuff so they are at the back of the Project List( |
ohhh, calamity, I like that idea - there are lots of cool light globes out there...... |
Kelly- almost everything I do has various thicknesses and media. It is all a **# to grout but take your time and it can be done. |
- Posted by nanatricia (My Page) on Thu, Jul 22, 10 at 22:48
Add glass or plastic lid or any thing under to raise you glass up.I do it all the time. |

There are a ton of 'official' Apple iPad accessories made by the Cupertino company. They have crazy descriptions and you'd think they would be made of solid platinum with a sprinkling of fairy dust. The descriptions are just so over the top it makes me laugh. Don't get me wrong, I love Apple despite their recent missteps. I just got a new iPhone and there are new iPads on the horizon as well.
So what's a teacher or student to do? There's a pretty big chance that some of you reading this article are going to be purchasing some new Apple iPads (and iPhones) in the coming months. You'll need to do your research and make sure you get the right device for you.
But what about all the accessories that come with each iPad? You need a case, a screen protector, a stand, and some other stuff just to make it as useful as possible for all students in the classroom.
I thought it might be useful to show off an array of little-known Apple accessories that could be of some real use for your classroom. I compiled this list over the course of several weeks using Pinterest, Diigo, web searches, and blog reading. I tried to come up with a smattering of useful accessories that I had never seen before. If I missed your favorite classroom iPad accessory, let me know in the comments and I can add it in!
An interesting take on cable wrapping for those little chargers that don't come with the handy handles to wrap your white wire around. This solves the problem and looks good doing it. Available at Urban Outfitters.
When you need a keyboard to truly get the most out of your iPad (typing a paper, perhaps?) then this keyboard is one I haven't seen around. That's surprising since it mimics the MacBook Pro and other Apple keyboards quite nicely. Available at rstyle.me
So great for classrooms. Got a wall or a cabinet? Want to make a space-saving learning lab in your classroom corner? Just get some of these (somewhat costly at $90) mounts and you can throw an iPad onto a wall safely and securely. Available at Dynalog
This is a Kickstarter that is way over the goal. It looks like a fabulous way to store a few extra things in your iPad case without having to lug around stuff like a charger cable, etc. Great for classrooms! Available at Kickstarter
Great for students (and adults) who you absolutely want to ensure hold onto an iPad. Got a bit of clumsiness in you? Try out the Grabbit holder which is quite soft and easy to integrate into your iPad usage. I like this one a bunch! Available at iPadGrabbit

On the other hand, like Fox, I like when I can step in with my inefficient heals and attempt to save the tank, or even the group.
Seems it would be kind of sad to see all but a few measly healing spells vanish.

In New Hampshire, there is no state-level legislation or regulation regarding gifted education. Special programming for the Gifted or Talented is entirely a matter of local option. Such programming may be referred to as "Enrichment", but not all "Enrichment" programs are targeted to the gifted. The key to whether a program is a true "gifted" program is whether there is a formal identification process. There is no state standard in New Hampshire for identification, so this is entirely up to local districts.

Independence, that is the word that sums up The Vagrants. From the first of their 3 CD's you could tell this was going to be a hard band to put in a category. The latest release is easier. It is ROCK at its finest. No other superfluous adjectives to make it sound trendy, just great, classic, solid rock with their own unique sounding hot lead singer, with a real voice, very complex guitar work made to sound simple, with punchy bass riffs, thumping drums, and superbly written songs by Steve Iorio that range from very serious, to down right hysterical.
Like heroin, The Vagrants are addictive. The live show is just a sweaty soaking wet t shirt ready to happen. Vocalist Renate Ludwig is the real deal and her intensity has finally been captured on a recording. Va-Va-Voom… It is the sound of rumbling earth, shaking bones and bam a herd of Rhino run right thru the living room.
The Vagrants have been touring relentlessly for 6 years, so if you haven't caught them live it is your own fault. So go on line, buy a CD and come to a gig and sing along with everyone else!!!
Oh yes, and all members of The Vagrants do like turtles.
VOX: Renate Ludwig
Renate Ludwig is the voice that is ringing in your ears as you leave a Vagrants gig! An electrifying front person there is no doubt that you will be entertained. The biggest thing about Renate is her voice, her frame is tiny and many wonder where the power is coming from. Also playing keys, flute and sax Renate gives The Vagrants their colour.
LEAD GUITAR: Steve Iorio
Steve Iorio Growing up in New York in with no mother has certainly given Steve an edge to the way life can change. Steve is the lead guitarist and main songwriter for The Vagrants. Hiss fluency in German, Danish and Spanish make life a little more interesting on the road and help us all in those awkeward moments. His years of diverse experience and influences have helped to mold the unique sound of the band. Playing acoustic, and electric guitars, keys, harp and doing harmonies and lead vocals keeps him busy.
Josh Celata's burning passion & high energy is exuded through his guitar playing which is set to light up any performance of which he is a part. His high energy & passion for music exudes through electrifying performance. His proficiency as both a musician & entertainer is immediately present when the stage lights up and the music begins.
Inspired since his early years by artists such as Aerosmith, Van Halen, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Kiss, Jeff Beck, The Darkness, Richie Kotzen, Meat loaf, Guns and Roses, Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Gary Moore, Josh whilst maintaining his Rock & Roll & Blues roots has incorporated diversity of styles in his performances to include jazz, jazz fusion, funk & acoustic accompaniment.
Having played in many bands in high school he developed a love for live performance and set out to play in gigs wherever and whenever possible! Being awarded a scholarship in 2007 he completed a Diploma & Advanced Diploma of Music in Jazz and Music Performance in 2009. At that time Josh was under the direct tutelage of some of Australia's most highly regarded guitarist including Mario Lattuada, Robert Bratetich and Edmond Bates.
Having at the time broadened his musical vision & apetite for more experience, Josh discovered his love for performing with as many performing artists as possible which then notably included Jimmy Cupples (The Voice finalist ), Nicole Wheatley (Australian Idol finalist) and veteran guitarist Percy Robinson (Channel 10).
Josh has also written songs as part of his work when playing with originals bands Wet Lips, Shotgun Wedding, The Back Seat Brides and The Texas Tombstones & has performed rock & jazz on recordings.
He has with great dedication recently completed a residency at Draculas Cabaret Restaurant in Melbourne having performed over 350 shows in the past 18 months performing 5 nights a week as the guitarist and cast member. The shows, performing to a full house on most nights, included Josh performing 1 hour of Jazz at the beginning of the night with many more guitar & vocal performances throughout the show. At Draculas Josh played alongside drummer Darren Hulcombe (Pseudo Echo, Real Life).
"Josh Celata brings his electrifying guitar talent to the stage, wowing audiences every night with his rock riffs, big vocals and dashing good looks." – Paul Newman – Dracuals Melbourne
No ordinary guitarist, Josh is now set to move it on up in his career and set the stage afire when he next blazes his trail with session work & as a band member when the right project presents.
"Gorgeous & the very best guitarist, set to be a star!"
Susan Aarons Director SEIZMIC SHIFT

"the kids and me loved these! Granola and PB are two of our favorite things, so I was really happy to find a recipe that combined both. We vegan-ized them by subbing coconut butter and vegan margarine for the butter and flax seeds for the eggs. Perfect!"
"this was super easy and really delicious."
"This is so good! Everyone loved it, even if they were a bit hesitant to try pea soup! :) Thanks!!"
"fall-apart tender pork chops!! SO good, I almost can't stop eating them. :) Gravy is delicious. I accidentally bought vegetable broth and it tasted great!"

But a racy satire of the dramatic minisocieties in a college wasteland gets lost in writer-director Roger Avary's drug-induced haze, graphic exploits, and useless rapid-rewind flashbacks. The high point: watching a predatory himbo (Ian Somerhalder) reconnect with his inner Wham!, prancing in his undies to George Michael's ''Faith.'' And that's not saying much.

Click below to read a summary of the Railways project ideas for Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards; or to go back to project ideas click here.
CREST Bronze
Investigate cliff railways and test water controls
Cliff railways work because gravity pulls one car down a slope, and that car pulls the other one up. The cliff railways at Lynton and Folkestone use water to control the speed and braking. Have a look at www.cat.org.uk for a factsheet on how the cliff railway at the Centre for Alternative Technology works.
CREST Silver
Investigate air conditioning systems used on trains
Air conditioning controls temperature, humidity, air-flow, and air cleanliness. This project is to find out how much air cooling is needed on a train. Public transport systems put a lot of people together in an enclosed space. People generate heat, making the interior hot and uncomfortable in the summer. It"s worse if the system is underground as there"s not much air flow to provide any cooling from the outside. Air conditioning, then, is important for the comfort of everyone, especially the driver.
CREST Gold
Convert a standard model train into a mountain railway model
Design a model mountain railway and convert a train to run on it. Modifications may have to be made to the engine, carriages and track and this will involve some practical engineering as well as testing existing systems and designing the modifications. You will need to discover how real mountain railways work.

Quoted from NancyEllen I had blood drawn today for my IBA 22 IgG testing. I almost went down for the count. I had two people holding my head up while I drank orange juice (yuk) and ate premium saltines (blech!!). It was an adventure. I will find out the results on Nov 21st when I go back to the ND. Am very curious. btw, is passing out when having blood drawn a Type O thing? This isn't the first time it has happened to me.
Quoted from JJR FWIW, I do eat a tiny amount of dark chocolate every week. It's about the only thing that doesn't mess with me. It's a very small amount, so I don't care that it has sugar in it. Because I don't touch it any other time. I eat a tiny bit of honey in my grains, but even that amount is laughable. It's like 1/4 teaspoon or so. I do it because there might be benefits to it. But if I eat too much of any sweetener, my heart races. Even honey. Stevia never seemed to do that to me though. But for some reason I quit eating that too.
Quoted from KimonoKat I've donated platelets for years and occasionally they take blood products.After platelet donation, (two hours lying very still) I do feel cold and have to get out in the sun pronto. I've never fainted, but I can get tired real easy after donation.I always watch them put the needle in. I can tell if a nurse is good at their job or not, just by watching how they attempt to get the vein.
Quoted from JJR Thanks PattyH. Like I said, I have no clue if it's good or bad for me, but it makes me feel good mentally. And supposedly chocolate does have some good properties, so, a little bit isn't going to kill me. It gives my spirits a boost. I think.I can't watch them taking my blood. Or put the needle in. I did get lightheaded once when they took a lot of blood. And one time when I tried to watch. So I learned.
Quoted from Patty H that sounds really uncomfortable. I have never heard of donating platelets. Why do you do that? To be charitable or to have them store them for your own potential later use? Just curious, KK. I have wondered if I should start donating blood (although I am exactly at the weight where it is questionable as to whether I CAN donate) because of my rare blood antigen.
Quoted from NancyEllen I got my Intestinal Barrier Assessment 22 IgG results today. On the Food Parameter Summary, Egg Whites and Pork are High. Moderate is Baker's Yeast, Kidney Beans, Beef, Brewer's Yeast, Corn and Cow's Milk. Low is Gluten, Oats, Shrimp and Wheat. I have been Gluten Free since 9/5/11 so that isn't a problem. Egg Yolks and Beef are a Super Food on my Swami Xpress and egg whites are a neutral. I've been eating a lot of beef. Wonder why that is a super food for me.
Quoted from NancyEllen "Are you allowed to eat the things that register low?"No Patty, nothing is allowed until my gut is healed.
Quoted from NancyEllen Thanks Patty!No I never felt any symptoms in my gut. I am feeling very tired and also have a lot of stress. Even though I am tired, I have trouble sleeping but the ND gave me something to help my cortisol levels when I saw her on 11/2/11. I have been sleeping deeper which is such a change for me. So things will get better. It just takes time.
Quoted from D.L. A lot of things on that avoid list are also on my Swami avoid list, BUT there are also things that are on the IgG avoid list that are on my Swami beneficial list. So it is confusing.So what I've done for now, is avoid everything that is on my Swami avoid list, everything that I know absolutely that I have had allergic reactions to for years, and everything that is on my IgG avoid list. That basically leaves vegetables (which I'm learning to eat), a few beans, a few fruits, a few nuts, some fish (which I don't like), and I eat a little good beef occasionally. So eating is no fun!!!! And I still don't feel good, basically because some of these foods are causing my pulse to go up and bothering my heart. Ugggggg!
Quoted from D.L. ABJoe - What would you suggest? I'm trying to do everything right.

Thought for the day.
melmoth, mmo June 24th, 2011MMOs are games where you play combat primarily in the user interface rather than the game world.
I think this is best realised in the classic 'standing in the fire' error of new raiders: essentially people stand in the fire because it is an element of playing in the game world, where levelling-up has trained those players to instead play in the interface. Combat is in the cooldowns; you watch timers, health bars, debuff bars, and only when you get to raiding or the more ambitious small group dungeons do you need to start looking into the game world too, in order to step out of the fire, dodge the laser beam, jump over the furious shrew of ruin.
And what do players in WoW, LotRO and other such MMOs with LUA AddOn functionality do in response? They add UI elements that warn the player to step out of the fire. They add further UI elements to tell them who to heal, who has aggro, who to cleanse; when the boss will enrage, when the next wave of adds will come, when to run away from their team; what button to press, what direction to run, what lever to pull.
What to have for dinner.
Compare this to a game such as Super Mario where you play the game entirely within the world, and the only time you have to care about anything outside of that world is to glance briefly at your health bar. FPS games generally keep the UI to a minimum, with the player's concentration focussed on the action in the game world, a glance at health or remaining ammo being all that's needed, and where games such as Gears of War have experimented with removing the health bar altogether. Even RTS games –where heavy UI use is a genre feature– still have a healthy balance between using the UI and interacting with the game world, where units have to be selected and positioned within the world, and combat requires the player's attention to be focussed on their virtual surroundings.
MMO combat, on the other hand, seems to generally draw the player out of the game world and force them into the UI, and since combat is still the genre's de facto method for resolving all disputes and difficulties, this means that most players spend more time staring at the UI than the game world, so perhaps it's little wonder that so many AddOns seem to add yet further UI elements for the player to focus on. I'm definitely interested to see how games such as TERA (despite it's painfully immature sexualisation of, well just about everything really; I imagine even the boars will have up-skirt panty shots) try to use the action orientated combat to draw the player out of the UI and back into the game. Despite its many failings, Dungeons and Dragons Online did a fair job of this, and I believe it made for much more involving (albeit otherwise flawed) combat.

Helistar Says:
June 24th, 2011 at 11:05 amMMO games are very character-centric. The characters are defined by a number of stats, and this makes the frontier between "the character" and "the stats" fuzzy. Am I looking at the character and seeing the health bar or looking at the health bar and seeing the character?
In the best of games, any stat which is meaningful would be visible just by looking at the avatar, but this is extremely taxing on graphics (one character animation for each 10% hp damage taken?). It's also very very difficult to present multiple stats at the same time without turning characters into christmas trees or requiring players to zoom in and out all the time.
So either you make stats irrelevant (in an FPS you usually have two: weapon/ammo + health) or provide another way to see them: enter the dreaded UI with a bazillion bars. Compound this to the fact that there are roles (like healing) which requires you to be aware of the stats of the entire group and the number of bars grows into gazillion range. One of the strong points of WoW is exactly that you can reconfigure everything so as to see what you want to see and not the rest (the "not the rest" often including the 3D representation of the world…..).
Conclusion: unless the combat design changes radically, you're not going to see the interface getting simpler any time soon….
Tanek Says:
June 24th, 2011 at 12:51 pmI do believe the "action-oriented" combat can help get the player focused back on the game world rather than the UI overlay. Specifically, I hope/believe that making positioning during a fight (both for your character and for the enemy) more important than just not standing in fire will force the UI to be less important.
I see this already in certain games I have played. As you mention, DDO can be a good example. Just the fact you can dodge a spell or a blow is a great step. Then there is my Lore-master in LOTRO. I find I pay more attention to the game world because I need to be aware of enemy positions at all times in order to control them effectively.
Even if new games use combat methods to draw players into the world and out of the overlay, though, the question will be how many of those players will want to adapt and stick around.
delicious.crab Says:
June 24th, 2011 at 3:11 pmOn the whole, I think DDO does a pretty good job of this. I find that the number of abilities that have significant cooldowns is small enough to become sort of second nature. So that, say, I usually have a pretty good idea of when manyshot's about to come off cooldown, and the one or two other such abilites, without looking at the hotbar. The one big limitation to this I find is when playing a cleric or FvS, and needing to spam heals.
I don't think I'd like to play anything more cooldown-intensive. -
Straw Fellow Says:
June 24th, 2011 at 6:21 pmHow do you feel about a UI-less MMO? Do you think it would be possible? I recall a PS3 game that was talked about some time ago in a magazine or something where you simply play as a wanderer in the desert. No UI, direction or anything. And it had internet connectivity, in that you could occasionally find another wanderer. You couldn't speak to one another, but you could travel together or wander apart if you so wished.
I'm curious how that kind of experience would work in a massive world with far more players. Remove the UI and make it all about the interactions with the world.
Melmoth Says:
June 27th, 2011 at 7:26 am@Helistar: "Conclusion: unless the combat design changes radically, you're not going to see the interface getting simpler any time soon."
I wrote a little bit about one idea for such a system. I think removing the game from the UI will need a change in the way combat works, but we are seeing quite a few prospective MMOs listing action orientated combat as one of their selling points, so it will be interesting to see if changes to the player's focus in the game come naturally as part of a shift in combat style.
@Tanek: MMO fans do seem to be notoriously resistant to change, you're right. Hopefully a change which immerses them in the world more will be appealing, although I do sometimes worry that many fans of the genre actually like just watching hotbar cooldowns.
@delicious.crab: The Monk is the class that I've found to be at odds with the action system, because there are so many abilities that come with the class. Also, there's no real indication within the game world when a player hits one of the combo abilities, so it's hard to know whether you've correctly triggered the ability or not; it's actually a game element that is crying out for some way to track abilities, be it through a UI element, or through some graphical representation within the game.
@Straw Fellow: I think it could work, but I'm not sure whether players would accept it initially. Games such as Gears of War and Dead Space have shown us that it's possible to still have a UI, but not in the traditional Heads-Up Display sense. I don't think it would work as a way to restrict players though, because players would find it frustrating in the main, and whenever a mass of players find something irritating in an MMO, they generally try to find a way around it: community voice chat servers would be one way that they would get around not being able to communicate within the game, for example.
stubborn Says:
June 28th, 2011 at 12:05 amWhat would the cure look like? I could see a UI-less game, in fact, with only small action bars along the bottom that could not be clicked and do not show cooldowns, but only exist to remind the player what binds to what. There would be no party or raid UI. Names would not appear over players' heads – enemy or otherwise. There would be no cast bars telling you when a boss is casting – watch him emote it! Spells would only be cast on mouseover or click targeting, making the system more chaotic, which real combat, I'm sure, is. There would be a good deal of movement, with AI being smarter about its own positioning (why would a boss let anyone get behind them; just walk backwards into a wall!).
It'd be chaos, and incredibly difficult to play. This could be compensated for with more forgiving mechanics. It's because of the information available to us that Blizz can make boss fights so hard; these fights would be just as hard, but not for the same reasons.
I'm sure there's 1000 reasons this "wouldn't work," but heck, I play with names and nameplates off. I like the immersion, and I'm good about raid awareness and not getting healer or dps tunnel vision. This type of thing would cater to me. How about you?
Melmoth Says:
June 28th, 2011 at 10:23 am"What would the cure look like?"
I think that's the million dollar question. I don't see it as necessarily a fix that would be applied on top of the current design for MMO combat, it may be that an alternative way to activate abilities would need to be found.
I have a feeling that at least some of what you outline is being implemented in action MMOs such as TERA, so it will certainly be interesting to see how visual boss emotes and ground-targeted/mouseover casting will work. I think Guild Wars 2 is trying this too, although it is still very much focused on hotbars at the moment.
I like to believe that that sort of system would work for me, and games such as DDO have been a lot of fun and quite refreshing with regard to the frenetic nature of the combat found there. I could never be certain until I tried such as system, however.
Jonathan B Says:
June 28th, 2011 at 8:58 pmOne potential piece of the puzzle may be having a small number of upgradable skills/spells/weapons, much like upgradable weapons in some FPS games, so that a handful of keys control an arsenal that you upgrade or replace rather than a bajillion icons on the screen to click. That makes it much easier to have everything bound to a few keys.
A plus side, besides the desired decrease in UI elements, is that it offers some options for differentiation. Sorta like the DDO sorcerer class, where you have limited slots to fill. I gather Guild Wars does the same. Of course, we recognize that any system is inevitably going to have a min-max community who feels that there is only one right way to configure your selections for maximum output in your approved class role.
The downside to an FPS-style MMO of this sort is, besides balancing spell combos, that you're likely to introduce a faster speed of combat, especially in PVP, if everything's keybound FPS-style. This can run the risk of balancing the game for twitch players with lightning reflexes and leaving slower players unable to win fights based on an assumption of much higer casting rates.

Pakistan is a federal republic whose local government has been temporarily suspended following the expiration of the 17th amendment and the passing of the 18th amendment to the constitution, which transfers responsibility for local government from central to provincial government. Due to the delay in local government elections, the administration of each district is currently headed by an appointed district administrator. The local government system in Pakistan is a three-tier system comprising district (zila), tehsil and union councils.
When this phase of the Good Practice Scheme (GPS) was in its inception, decentralisation in Pakistan was under way, and it was apparent that the local government structures, which were relatively new at the time, needed strengthening. Emphasis was placed on how local government should engage with and respond to the needs of the communities which they represent, and mechanisms for doing this effectively.
During the beginning of the GPS, democracy at the local level in Pakistan was starting to erode at a significant pace. Subsequently the responsibility for local government was moved to the Provinces in January 2009 in line with the Constitution, and councils were dissolved. The removal of local democracy impacted directly on the role and mandate of the councils and on local communities' ability to contribute to decisions affecting their quality of lives, and access to services as well as local development being significantly reduced, further reinforcing the decision to focus at the Provincial level.
Local government is the first line of defence in the face of environmental disaster. As strategies are developed for assessing the scale of damage and rebuilding Pakistan, it will be local government officials leading the reconstruction of their communities. The UNDP has identified local authorities as the priority for not only rebuilding Pakistan but for developing plans to protect their communities from other potential catastrophes. It is therefore imperative that local governance structures are strengthened to meet these challenges most effectively.
When it was confirmed that Pakistan would be included as one of the six countries in the GPS, there was no national association of local government, but there was a relatively newly established provincial level association in the Punjab, the Local Councils Association of the Punjab (LCAP). It was therefore agreed to focus on the strengthening of the LCAP and to assist them and other newly emerging local councils associations in building their capacity. The Local Government Association of England and Wales (LGA) was identified as the partner and was agreed that the project, titled "Raising the voice of the LCAP" was to focus on transparency and accountability, specifically to:
The project was designed in such a way that it had the caveat to shift direction if there were significant changes at the federal and national level so that LCAP could respond to the political agenda, and as with all GPS projects a scoping visit to Pakistan took place in 2008 which provided the face to face opportunity for officers from the LGA to discuss with the LCAP management and political leadership the nature of the collaboration between the two associations. This was then followed up by a brief visit by LCAP officers and members to the UK in 2009 for a training session and to develop a lobbying and advocacy strategy.
Project activities and achievements
The activities that took place during this project were focused on building the lobbying campaign for the associations. The first, a training session on lobbying and advocacy. The training provided delegates with the opportunity to consider the impact of a strategically focused campaign and advocacy strategy, touching on the questions that they should be asking themselves when in the embryonic stages of developing a campaign and evaluating what their end goal is. Following on from the first training session a strategic campaigning workshop took place in Sri Lanka this workshop. However, this was held for representatives from all four provincial associations, and re-capped on the lessons learnt to date. As well as going one step further by focussing on the nature of leadership.
The last of the activities was a UK awareness raising seminar. As the project was unable to host a dissemination workshop in Pakistan it was decided to invite a selection of those who have been involved in the project from all four provinces and run a seminar/debate in the UK which it provided an opportunity for delegates and organisations, both public and private, and diaspora groups involved in Pakistan and its governance, to discuss freely a way forward and explore how they could assist in raising awareness and understanding of the local government agenda. CLGF used the opportunity of a separate seminar which it organised in Karachi in September 2011 to profile the work of LCAP and the role of a local government association in a provincial system of government.

My company used pneumatic conveying for dust handling. I want to put a level sensor/transmitter in blow tank/transporter/blowpot. The problem is the sensor reliability. The space (in the blow tank) is high pressure. The level sensor often leaks at that condition. Could you please recommend a type of level sensor that is suitable for the system?
Have an insight or suggestion?

Re: Pneumatic conveyor sensor
12 January 2007 at 1:29pmRadar (microwave) can handle high pressures and would be the most accurate and reliable. Circular polarization can eliminate false echoes from dust and obstacles.

MObama's Bangs
Mrs. O turned heads at the inaugural festivities on January 21 in a navy-silk, checkered-patterned coat and dress by Thom Browne. The outfit, from the 2012 recipient of the National Design Award in Fashion Design, was specifically designed for the First Lady, but like most of the designers she wore this weekend, Browne said he wasn't 100% sure that she was going to wear the outfit until he saw her wearing it. To accessorize, FLOTUS wore J.Crew heels for a religious service in the morning, and remixed the look for the official ceremony with the addition of gloves and a jeweled belt by the retailer and Reed Krakoff boots.
Along with her designer gear, the first lady sported her new headline making bangs, which the President joked were "the most significant event of the weekend," according to USA Today. "I love her bangs," he said of the cut the FLOTUS debuted on her new Twitter page, January 17, her birthday.

Add 52 cents to this monetary sum and that's the amount — in dollars — raised as proceeds from the recent "Run Now" event on and near the Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway in support of the victims, and their families, of the terrorist bombing that brought horror to the mid-April Boston Marathon.
This annual event brings the globe — and especially its running enthusiasts — to a patriotic American city that prides itself on a love of sports, a belief in hard work and a dedication to country.
Cleveland's "Run Now" delivered a message of support to the people of Boston and a generous contribution to the One Fund Boston campaign, an initiative aimed at helping those impacted by the terrorist strike. Launched by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayuor Thomas M. Menino, One Fund Boston has already raised some $62 million.
Now here's another number.
It is 26.
Like the "Run Now" proceeds, it is a message to the people of Boston and to anyone who would do intentional harm to others, especially to the innocent.
This "26" is today's number. It could go up. It could go down. But on April 12, 2014, from the steps of the Bradley County Courthouse, 26 members — and maybe more — of the Cleveland and Bradley County running community will begin a 1,000-mile journey on foot to Boston.
Participants will deliver a message of hope, share a testimony of spirit and offer a presence of love. And, they will present a monetary donation, one that could reach $50,000 as contributed by local supporters over the next several months leading up to the runners' departure from their downtown sendoff.
Organizers are well aware of the scope of their mission. In the words of Matt Carlson, who is a member of the "Run Now Relay, Cleveland to Boston" planning committee, it is a "massive effort."
No truer words could be spoken by this community servant who is best known for his gallant efforts as executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland. Like many of his friends, old and new, Carlson is a runner who took up the sport for health. Like his work with Habitat, he also uses it as a ministry — one aimed at providing a hand-up to those who have been knocked to their knees by the challenges of life.
Another local face, and respected voice, is Fred Garmon, international director of People for Care and Learning whose organization has come to the aid of those in need, both in Cleveland and afar.
Garmon, also a runner, describes the voyage to Boston as a " ... trek, done relay style, so runners will take turns pounding the pavement so that every step between Cleveland and Boston [will have] had a local runner carrying the message that we, Cleveland, support our brothers and sisters in Boston."
Runners will cross eight states and meander through several major cities like Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York. As they arrive in Boston, the final 26.2 miles will trace the Boston Marathon course. They will cross the traditional Finish Line on Boylston Street in a symbolic gesture on behalf of those who could not cross it earlier this year.
Upon completing their humanitarian run on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2014, they will present a check to One Fund Boston representatives. This will occur one day before Patriots Day which will signal the start of the next Boston Marathon.
Those interested in supporting Cleveland's outreach to Boston may visit this worthy event's Facebook page titled "Run Now Relay."
It's a mission to raise money, but it's a message to build hope.
It's a test of a runner's will, but it's a journey into the human heart.
It's a hand on the shoulder of the weary, but it's a way of saying, "I am there."
In a changing world too often fraught with fear, no man should walk alone. And in a life plagued by darkness, light awaits at the distant end for those willing to run to its glory.

I discover this plugin only today ! Splendid work! This plugin works fine with NB 74 (in fact I downloaded the 43853 one). I was really angry when NB stopped the support for Java Desktop applications without giving help to convert them. Now, I can read again and update my old Java Desktop applications without having to port them to the NB Platform! Please, keep maintaining this plugin for future NB releases! Thanks again. Richard

Perhaps they should be consolidated into a single plugin then, before they start branching away from each other.
Also, I noticed that onkentes's version is marked as having failed verification, due to a NOGO vote. Does yours have the same problem? Thanks, Moshe

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

Lukashenka Says Russia To Scrap Oil Duties For Belarus
December 09, 2010
Belarus says Russia has agreed to scrap duties on oil it supplies to the
country from the beginning of next year.
Belarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka said in televised comments
today that his government in turn had agreed to pass on to Russia the
export duties it charges on products it makes from the imported Russian
The agreement, thought to be worth up to $4 billion to the Belarusian
economy, comes a week before a presidential election in which Lukashenka
is a candidate.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Lukashenka today held surprise
closed-door talks in Moscow.
The meeting was not announced in advance by either party and reporters
were not allowed to attend any portion of the talks.
Relations between the two neighbors have cooled considerably in recent
years as the sides fight over border tariffs and the price Belarus pays
for Russian energy supplies, on which it relies.

Moscow, 9 December: Russia and Belarus have agreed to scrap

duties on oil products, Russian Economic Development Minister
Elvira Nabiullina announced. According to her, all the regulating
base documents - 17 in all - have been signed within the framework

"We managed to reach an agreement on the entire package on the
Eurasian [Single] Economic Space," Nabiullina said. "In
particular, we abolished customs duties on oil in our bilateral
trade whereas customs duties on oil products will be charged on
the external boundary and returned to the Russian budget," she
This decision will enter into force after Belarus ratifies the
entire package but no earlier than on 1 January 2011.

Most of the University's systems authenticate through a system called Active Directory. That allows users to utilize the same credentials for most systems. There are a couple of exceptions to that: student email uses a separate password, as does Banner INB.
In all cases, there are four steps to accessing the UMW systems.
Step 1: Finding Your NetID & E-mail Address
Go to http://www.umw.edu and type your name in the search field with the people option selected.
Find your name in the search results. Under your name will be your NetID (sometimes called "LoginID" or "Username") and under that will be your UMW e-mail address.
If you are unable to find your name, your account has not been created. Try again later.
Step 2: Knowing Your Temporary Password
Note: The temporary password will not allow new students to log into Eaglenet/Canvas/Etc… they must reset their password first. All new students are given an 8-character temporary password.
This temporary password is comprised of the:
Uppercase first letter of your legal first name
Lowercase first letter of your legal last name
Last 4 digits of your Social Security Number
2 digit designation of your birth month (e.g., April = 04)
If the University has no Social Security number or birthdate on file, use the Last 4 digits of your Banner ID + "99". Your Banner ID is printed on your EagleOne card. It's also found next to your name in Banner SSB (Eaglenet).
First Name: Donald
Last Name: Duck
Last 4 Digits of Banner ID: 7890
Password would be: Dd789099
Step 3: Resetting Your Active Directory Password:
To reset your password go to http://password.umw.edu.
Note: Due to network security settings, the password reset site may be inaccessible from certain locations such as, public schools, and military institutions. You will need to access the password reset page from another computer not on the same network.
Note: If you try too many times to change your password, or you try to login to our systems with a wrong password your account will lock. You will have to wait 15 minutes for the account lock to lift before trying again.
- Type your NetID in where it asks for 'Username'.
- Type your temporary password in the 'Old Password' field.
- Come up with a new password that follows the password rules on the left side of the page (*) and enter your password in the 'New Password' field.
- Re-enter in your password in the 'Verify Password' field.
- Finally, click the 'Change Password' button (E).
Step 4: Logging Into Active Directory (Eaglenet/Canvas/Etc…):
Your active directory netID and password will allow you to log into all University systems (excluding e-mail) such as, Eaglenet, Canvas, the library databases, computers on campus, and more.
Unlike your e-mail account, you will not be able to log in with your active directory temporary password the first time. You must reset the password before logging on.
Once your password has been reset you may then go to any system that you would like to use and enter your NetID and new password to log in.
Most system logins can be accessed under our 'Helpful Links' area at the top right of UMW webpages.
After clicking that button many useful links are displayed. There are several links at the bottom that students will use frequently: Eaglenet, Canvas, Library, Email.
You can use your NetID and AD password to log into most UMW system other than e-mail.
Step 5: Logging Into Office 365 Student E-mail the First Time:
Your UMW E-mail account is created for you automatically, you just have to log into it using your temporary password the first time.
- Go to https://www.outlook.com/mail.umw.edu to log in.
- Enter your full email address (for example: firstname.lastname@example.com) and your temporary password.
The first time you log into your e-mail account you will be asked to change your password. After changing your password and logging back in with the new password you will be asked a few setup security questions; once you have answered those questions you will be brought to your mailbox.

I see that most people on the site still do not know what hip hop composure means and consists of all around.
- There is no need for much complexity in your work. None at all. Though it's great to hear but not recommended.
- Repetitive melody and baseline is the key structure ever since the beginning. It's what offers the most flow in a song. Too much change throws off the the song completely. Refer to beats beats with a northern vibe.
- An occasional change is cool. Verse and chorus should be a noticeable change. Nothing to major. It doesn't HAVE to be. Too much change again throws the song off and makes it something it's not.
Remember this next time reviewers and people who happen to like my music. I'm not and we aren't making classical, OSTs or video game soundtracks. I like variation and creativity as much as the next person person but this is hip hop. It's not required.

Phoenix and New York City are separated by 2,500 miles, but the distance between them in terms of education innovation can only be measured in light years.
Last week, the Arizona Republic ran a story titled, "How school choice has reshaped Arizona," looking at open enrollment policies, the number of charter schools, and education savings accounts, the most innovative education solution in the country. And don't forget tax credit scholarships, virtual schools, and a homeschool law. With all these options for parents, "districts from the southwest valley to Paradise Valley have poured money into specialty programs that cater to niche interests in their communities" and "Arizona students can learn to speak Mandarin, study dance, become young engineers or delve into the medical sciences."
Traditional schools, charter schools, and private schools try to attract parents and their children by out-doing one another through challenging programs. What an amazing place to live, where schools are watching where parents are going and trying to offer classes and programs that get their attention.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent in New York City, the New York Times ran a story titled "The Get-Into-School-Card," referring to a family's address. "Moving to a particular neighborhood in order to land a seat at a coveted public school has long been the middle-class modus operandi for obtaining a high-quality education in New York, where placement in many elementary schools is determined by home address."
Unfortunately, New York families are finding out after they move that overcrowding in good schools is causing them to be re-zoned into boundaries for other schools. Parents wind up putting children on charter school waiting lists or resort to an "outright lie by borrowing an address from a friend or relative to get their children into a school."
For parents looking for a great opportunity for their child, Arizona has told parents they have choices, and traditional districts are "inspire[d]…to improve options."
In New York, parents without a good neighborhood school have to do it the old fashioned way: Move.

EDITOR'S NOTE: We define brunch as a weekend-only meal. Restaurants that serve breakfast throughout the week—while they may be perfectly tasty—were not eligible for this list.
Malai Kitchen
Brunch served Saturday and Sunday
Brunch at a Thai restaurant may sound off-putting, but Malai Kitchen's breakfast fare with a Thai-Vietnamese twist will set you straight. Don't go expecting Sterno-heated chafing dishes; everything here is cooked to order. We found the cozy patio surprisingly quiet on a Saturday at noon, but the friendly service made up for any loneliness we may have felt. Each diner receives an amuse-bouche of sticky rice and eggplant dip. Chef Braden Wages turns French toast into an Asian delicacy. He tops thick slices of a Vietnamese baguette with flambéed bananas. Warm coconut syrup, which is made with coconut milk and palm sugar, and contains hints of tamarind and mango, comes on the side. His version of eggs Benedict is done Malai style, which means coconut-spiked biscuits, Thai basil, shrimp, and poached eggs, all covered with a Thai chile hollandaise sauce. We admit we were leery of this dish, but it turned out to be the highlight of the meal and worth every artery-clogging calorie. Other offerings include a scrambled egg mix with curry "salsa," Vietnamese noodle soup, fried rice topped with a fried egg, and a Vietnamese burger. There are $3 mimosas and $5 Bloody Marys, but splurge on a Lemongrass Fizz, a concoction of Ketel One Citroen, St-Germain, lemongrass syrup, and sparkling wine designed by mixologist Jason Kosmas. The flavors don't collide with the cuisine.
The Libertine
Brunch served Sunday only
The Libertine is a full-service establishment for serious beer drinkers. Every Saturday night they tempt with pints (and pints) of Belgian Chimay and sinful-sounding lagers such as Southern Star Bombshell Blonde. On Sunday morning, the kitchen offers a brunch menu designed to ease the pain those pints inflicted the night before. Take a seat—preferably the same one you occupied only a few hours earlier—and order a Snake in the Grass, a soothing concoction of green chartreuse, St-Germain, citrus juice, and Peruvian bitters. As the fog begins to lift, pluck sautéed shrimp from creamy manchego cheese grits. If you're craving eggs, go with a ragin' Cajun-style Benedict with andouille sausage and grilled crawfish piled atop an English muffin and covered with a poached egg and a runny dollop of hollandaise. Need a stiffer kick-start? Order the chilaquiles, a spicy mixture of eggs, tortilla slices, and tomatillo sauce.
Brunch served Sunday only
Long before North Oak Cliff's Bishop Arts District became one of the city's more popular culinary destinations, this graceful Southern belle set the standard for fine dining south of the Trinity. It's easy to see why. Brunch at Hattie's is as sleepy and seductive as a Mississippi drawl, and the offerings are down-home delicious. The Hangtown Scramble is a gustatory hangover helper: herbed scrambled eggs, hash browns, and bacon-wrapped fried oysters all topped with Parmesan shavings and a red chile hollandaise drizzle. Breaded pork cutlets come with fried eggs and sweet potato hash browns. For those with a sweeter taste, cornmeal griddle cakes and sourdough French toast with bananas Foster sauce are sinfully indulgent. Yet every time we visit Hattie's, we have a hard time not ordering the chicken and waffles: a perfectly fried chicken breast sitting atop a crispy waffle drenched in spicy maple syrup. It's an off-the-
menu gem.
Brunch served Saturday and Sunday
Owner and Chef Abraham Salum's love affair with chiles is evident all over Komali's brunch menu. From rich pasillas to smoky chipotles to mellow poblanos, his regional Mexican cooking is soothing and fragrant, a far cry from cheesy-greasy Tex-Mex (not that there's anything wrong with that). With its sisal-covered walls and airy, light-filled interior, Komali feels like a Baja getaway. Brunch entrées are likewise a respite from the ordinary. Huevos ponchados feature two corn sopes—thick masa patties lightly fried—topped with chorizo, poached eggs, and pasilla hollandaise. It's a zesty, dense dish for those with hearty appetites. A lighter option is the lump crab-stuffed crepes bathed in a lovely poblano cream and queso Oaxaca. Migas and chilaquiles—no strangers to most Texans—are traditional Mexican breakfast options cooked well by chef Salum. For a sweet ending, you can't go wrong with sugar-dusted churros. At Komali, they come with a cup of Mexican hot chocolate.
Restaurant Ava
Brunch served Sunday only
Don't let your big-city snobbery show. Though this charming and rustic restaurant is located in historic downtown Rockwall—yes, Rockwall—its contemporary American fare is some of the finest in North Texas. Chefs/owners Randall Copeland and Nathan Tate's farm-to-table mantra is evident in the list of local produce and meats they use: Athey Farm eggs, Barking Cat Farm greens, J.T. Lemley's produce, and more. Likewise, their brunch is fresh and satisfying, with offerings changing with the season. One thing remains constant: every brunch begins with complimentary homemade biscuits. A self-proclaimed biscuit aficionado at our table declared Ava's big, fluffy, moist biscuits the finest he's had in Texas. That's high praise. The smoked brisket scramble is a ridiculously enormous plate featuring pecan-smoked brisket, eggs, potatoes, queso fresco, and fried tortilla strips. Roll it all up in a slightly charred flour tortilla and spoon on some roasted tomato salsa. Cinnamon roll French toast has a welcome granola-baked crunch with plenty of warm, spicy cinnamon flavor while not being too sweet. A side of house-smoked bacon certainly doesn't hurt. That same delicious bacon appears in Ava's three-cheese-and-spinach quiche. With brunch this fine, you might catch yourself plotting your next visit to Rockwall. Or some casual house hunting.
