If MA would just go back to 2006 when I started and I think was a peak time for alot of people who started, there wouldn't be these negative kind of reviews..I never would have continued into this game and deposited if I got the results I get now..Something obviously has to change and I think it's the loot system..

Pay no attention to that reviewer - Clearly he didn't offer much time on this game than the very beginning (5-10 hours) and saw one or two different areas and tried a few different activities.
Sadly, this is where most people run away too - Everyone enters with the idea of "making a few quick bucks while playing, can't be that hard, after all I've been gaming for the most of my life and I am hardcore in most of them" only to realize after a couple of hours their idea is shattered on the floor. I usually tell new people who complain about it "What did you honestly expect? A real world economic in here is like a real world economic outside your door, you don't go on a job the first day and expect a full month of salary by the end of the day, do you? You have to work your ass off to get it" The beauty of this game is that you are NEVER done with exploring, trying new things, skilling up, loosing money, earning money, meeting new people etc. it's a neverending process, which again means not 2 days in here is looking like each other (even by the crafting machine where you craft you meet new people and obtain different skills + loot and losses). This game gets by my reviews of the game a 7/10 as it IS extremely hard to get into without doing hours of research on stuff and learning the ropes by sweating, collecting dung, fruits, stones and teleporting portals. However, once you do learn the basics, you can see the "road up ahead" towards the fame |

Well, they are both 3D sci-fi games, and they were both released the same year. But from my own perspective Entropia has a better community. If someone had come up to me willing to mentor me in the ways of EVE Online then I would have accepted. But it was Entropia players who brought me to love Ark, Caly, and RT.

eve is ok, star trek is ok..many games are ok and nice and fun.....but not even one can be compared with Entropia becouse of the RCE system. Yes ..i agree entropia is not what was before but i believe this is becouse are not so many oportunities like before: to win..to sell..to discover stuff ul specialy..to make money very fast..or very slow:P. You can make money now..tones..but you need to work work work alot. I think entropia need more events..litle and big ones with nice prices...more stuff to be discovered and to give unique posibilities for the players to advance. Still entropia remain the best game ever for me ..becouse of money involved and unique oportunities this game offer. And you can't compare a game where your money are involved with any rest of the games for fun. Are just two different types of games. At least this is my personal opinion.

Consult experts in marketing, you are good developers but not necessarily good at marketing strategy. Must redouble the effort to attract new players willing to deposit a few dollars to play, we know that global loot is directly related to ingame economy so we need more and more players willing to overcome the learner's period (unusually long and complex for a mmorpg). Keep in mind that the European crisis may present a risk and an opportunity for Entropia Universe. A risk because there are fewer players willing to spend their money on games, a chance because it is likely that many gamers do not want to be in the obligation to deposit regularly but they are willing to do so when he can and wants, and that's where Unversed Entropia wins all other. Finally, protect older players, those who have joined in this adventure for years. Honor them in some way, not for their skills but for the hours they have accumulated collaborating to give life to Entropia Universe.

On Topic: I tried Eve..I didn't like the 2D world and did that 14 day free trial..And unlike person who wrote that negative article about EU..I didn't really play/sink my teeth into EVE to give a true observation. But I truly just didn't like the 2D..compared to 3D

The Light and How to Swing It: The importance of optimal play {WoW}
Jan 7th 2012 10:18AM Exactly. I am specced into 1 point in Holy Ground as well, for mana. But I sacrificed Pursuit of Justice completely... I mean, the movement speed increase is a waste IMO (use your eyes/ears/DBM and you're good to avoid pretty much everything) and I haven't noticed many (if any) Stun/Fear/Immobilize effects in DS. So 2nd point from it went into Grand Crusader. So I'm 0/33/8. Am I suboptimal? Getting close to 20k dps on Ultraxion with ilvl 390 and being 7/8 normal.
Blizzard releases third-party API usage policy {WoW}
Dec 15th 2011 10:27AM Wow, this policy is one of the stupidest I have seen.
Does that mean that WoWProgress has to change the name?
Does that mean that MrRobot needs to pull their app from the AppStore (or make it free) and release its source code?
Does that mean there's absolutely no incentive for creating an application (be it web app or mobile app) for WoW? I can't even show ads, how will I pay for my hosting?!?
Blizzard should be thankful for creators of addons such as DBM which are often a must in a raiding environment. I'm pretty sure that if not for DBM, Omen, Grid, Healbot, Decursive and various other addons the game would be less playable and had quite a few less subscribers. And same goes for creators of Wowhead, WoWProgress, Curse, MrRobot and some other. They add so much value on top of the game and they make the game so much better. Blizzard should be thankful to them instead of denying them money they deserve.
The Light and How to Swing It: Tanking the three intro heroic Firelands bosses {WoW}
Nov 4th 2011 1:37PM We use an "exploit" or smth for Shannox. Well, it's been there for ages and hasn't been fixed yet, so I assume Blizzard accepts it or doesn't care.
Basically when Riplimb is running toward the boss with the spear I start to kite the boss. But not by moving backwards, but strafing in a wide circle (30-40 yards radius). I get the same speed as I would be running with my back to the boss, but still can block his attacks. Riplimb seems to be unable to give the spear back to boss when he's on the move. So I keep the boss moving until my and the other tank's stacks fall off and stop, so Riplimb gives the spear back. And repeat the process again.
This method isn't fully reliable, as the bug seems a bit random and sometimes Riplimb can give the spear back. Or sometimes Shannox stops by himself to throw a trap. But it works like 75% of the time.
We're working on Majordomo now and running into issues with DPS. We're gonna try with more cat phases and less Scorpion.
Ask Mr. Robot mobile app released {WoW}
Jun 18th 2011 11:11AM "Unfortunately, the use of Blizzard IP is prohibited without a license and you can't use any Blizzard IP commercially."
I recommend to read through this topic:
As one poster there says:
"Well, the sites you have listed actually don't charge for Blizzard IP. Wowhead offers custom graphics, removal of adds, custom avatars, but anything and everything related to WoW is accessible for free. Curse.com offers extra simultaneous downloads and a few other features for premium service. Again not Blizzard IP. Wowstead same thing, custom themes and added features but not Blizzard IP."
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want this to happen to MrRobot. I use their site and I love it. I think the app is a good way for them to get some money for the hard work they've put into. However, I am interested in this topic since I had few ideas to develop wow related apps, but the fact that I can't charge for them prevents me from starting coding (gotta eat sometime! :D). I also feel it would be unfair for other app developers who's apps have been pulled from the app store for similar reasons, to allow MrRobot charge for their app (unfortunately).
Unfortunately I don't think there has been any clear statement by Blizzard of what we can and cannot do. I mean, you could read through ToS/ToU/EULA, but who does that :D There's not even ToU for their website API... :/

Jun 18th 2011 6:46AM I wonder when will Blizzard send them C&D letters since they're using Blizzard assets and selling them. Remember the original mobile armory that was made by some fan? It costed like $.99 and also had to be pulled from the app store.

Breakfast Topic: Thoughts on legendary weapons {WoW}
May 16th 2011 10:03AM IMO, what Blizzard should do is to make Legendaries scale with the level. Maybe limit that to only those that were obtained while the tier it was in was the current tier of raiding (ie. Warglaives obtained during BC: Black Temple era (or even whole BC era) would scale, but those obtained today wouldn't). So you wouldn't need to replace it ever again (since it's a legendary weapon, what could be better? blue drop from hc deadmines better than a weapon that Kil'jaden used?) And the limit would ensure that ppl wouldn't go back to farming legendaries now.
The Queue: Across the Pond {WoW}
Mar 1st 2011 11:06AM A philosophical/technical question: is there a mob spawned when there's no one to observe it?
It came to me when I was farming archaeology few nights ago and kept returning to the same spot from time to time which was patrolled by a bear. Made me wonder if the bear exists when I'm not near him... and if not, shouldn't it be thankful that I visit it and therefore push it to existence? Then why is it trying to kill me?

Osceola National Forest Firefighters Respond to Wildfire
Press Release
Olustee, Fla. — A team of U.S. Forest Service firefighters immediately responded to and safely secured a wildfire in the southwest corner of Big Gum Swamp Wilderness that was discovered at approximately noon on May 9.
The fire was secured last night but the Forest Service will conduct a 3,000-acre burnout today on the western side of the wilderness on Forest Road 232 to further secure and contain it.
The cause of the wildfire was due to a lightning strike and is about 56 acres in size.
The Big Gum Swamp Wilderness Trail is closed to the public.
Motorists in the area may encounter smoky conditions today and tomorrow and are cautioned to drive slowly with lights on while traveling in smoky areas.
The 13,600-acre Big Gum Swamp is a large, flat, freshwater cypress gum swamp with pine flatwoods on the perimeter.
Additional updates will be provided as they become available.

'Perp Walks' and Ride-Alongs
The "perp walk," in which recent arrestees are paraded for news cameras, and the "ride along," in which media accompany cops on the job, are standard features of mainstream media's reporting on crime. But both practices, which involve close relationships between reporters and police, have been challenged by courts in recent months. Media aren't dedicating much coverage to these legal questions about how they do their job. What reporting has appeared has been an oddly theoretical discussion, sidestepping basic questions and relying on frequent references to a "watchdog" press corps: intrepid, critical, responsible--and wholly unrecognizable to any regular consumer of ...
A Mote in Their Eye
Felicity Barringer, the New York Times media reporter ("Week in Review," 4/25/99), scolded editors for publishing an Agence France Press photo of a corpse in Kosovo, an Albanian refugee killed by a NATO bomb, without adequately warning that the Serbs could have arranged the body for dramatic effect. She quoted a CBS news executive who pointed out that with regard to news put out on our side, "You're able to challenge and question and dig back and check in with sources." The front page of the same "Week in Review" section carried a handsome color photo, also from AFP, taken ...
'I'd Take Them Out With Sex'
It's hard to find a way to worsen the horror of the school shootings in Littleton, Colorado, but Howard Stern found it--just one day after the murders, on his April 21, 1999 radio show (syndicated by Infinity Broadcasting, a CBS subsidiary). While considering the motives of the male students who murdered 12 classmates and one teacher, the "shock jock" mused: "There were some really good-looking girls running out with their hands over their heads. Did those kids try to have sex with any of the good-looking girls? They didn't even do that? At least if you're going to kill yourself ...
Redefining Diplomacy
On March 23, U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke was in Belgrade to deliver a final ultimatum to Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milosevic: Sign the Rambouillet plan--the document that emerged from the three-month-long talks in France between the Yugoslavian government, ethnic Albanians and the five-nation Contact Group--or be bombed. Milosevic's government refused to ratify the plan, which envisioned a very high degree of autonomy for Kosovo, enforced with NATO troops. On March 24 the bombing began. But in the media, March 24 also marked the beginning of a remarkable process of historical revision in which the picture of the previous three months of ...
Legitimate Targets?
NATO justified the bombing of the Belgrade TV station, saying it was a legitimate military target. "We've struck at his TV stations and transmitters because they're as much a part of his military machine prolonging and promoting this conflict as his army and security forces," U.S. General Wesley Clark explained--"his," of course, referring to Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milosevic. It wasn't Milosevic, however, who was killed when the Belgrade studios were bombed on April 23, but rather 20 journalists, technicians and other civilians. Clark's logic is exactly the same as that of the death squad commander who orders the assassination of ...

Awards Received by Intramural Researchers
NCI's Merlino Honored for Melanoma Research
Glenn Merlino, a deputy director of NCI's Center for Cancer Research and chief of CCR's Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Genetics, received a lifetime achievement award from the Society for Melanoma Research at the society's annual meeting in Philadelphia in November 2013. The award honors his outstanding contributions to the understanding of tumor initiation and metastatic progression. Merlino began his career at NCI in 1980 as a postdoctoral fellow under Dr. Ira Pastan. He has also served as head of CCR's Laboratory of Cell Regulation and Carcinogenesis. Merlino was the first to report that a protein involved in communication between cells promotes melanoma when activated by UV radiation. He was also among the first to show in living animals that growth factors, such as proteins or hormones, can turn normal cells into tumor cells. His lab currently uses genetically engineered mouse models of human cancer to investigate the complex molecular programs governing the genesis of melanoma.
Dimiter Dimitrov & Zhongyu Zhu Receive Australia's Chairman's Medal
Mitko Dimitrov, senior investigator in the NCI CCR Nanobiology Program, and Zhongyu Zhu, staff scientist in the NCI CCR Laboratory of Experimental Immunology, have received Australia's highest award for scientific achievement for their work on a Hendra virus vaccine. The CSIRO Chairman's Medal was awarded to them as part of the Hendra Virus Research Team for pioneering research that has led to the development of the first equine vaccine and a human treatment against the deadly Hendra virus. The award was bestowed in October 2013.
Through innovative science and international collaboration, the Hendra Virus Research Team has made a sustained and significant contribution to understanding and mitigating the threat posed by this novel virus, and has become one of the world's leading emerging zoonotic disease research teams.The most recent outcome of their work, the Equivax® HeV horse vaccine, will save human lives by protecting horses from the disease, thereby breaking the only known Hendra virus transmission pathway from bats to humans. Hendra virus is a highly pathogenic emerging zoonotic infection harbored by Australian flying foxes with sporadic spill-over directly to horses. Infection of people has typically occurred after close contact with terminally ill horses, with over 50 per cent mortality. The launch of the equine Hendra virus vaccine has been heralded internationally as an outstanding example of the One Health approach for control of a major public health threat.

Elaine Jaffe Wins Hematology Award
Elaine Jaffe, a senior investigator in the NCI CCR Laboratory of Pathology, will receive the 2013 Henry M. Stratton Medal from the American Society of Hematology (ASH) for her work on lymphoma. She shares the award with Nancy Andrews of Duke University School of Medicine for her work on iron homeostasis. The award was announced on August 1, 2013.
Each year ASH honors two senior investigators, one in basic research and the other in clinical/translational research, with the Henry M. Stratton Medal. Jaffe is regarded by her peers as one of the most pre-eminent hematopathologists of her generation. She is most widely known for her work regarding the pathophysiology and prognosis of malignant lymphomas, as well as her unparalleled work to understand how they respond to treatment. She has completed intriguing work on the interrelationship between Hodgkin lymphoma and B-cell lymphomas, focusing in particular on grey zone lymphomas that appear to represent the missing link between classical Hodgkin lymphoma and other B-cell malignancies and exploring the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that cause a B cell to become a Hodgkin cell.
Prokunina-Olsson Wins Tabor Young Investigator Award
Ludmila Prokunina-Olsson, an investigator in the NCI DCEG Laboratory of Translational Genomics has won the 2013 Journal of Biological Chemistry/Herbert Tabor Young Investigator Award. The awards honor Tabor's invaluable contributions to the journal and to science as a whole. The awards also recognize the innovators and achievers in new generations of researchers who exemplify Tabor's values of creativity and scientific excellence. Prokunina-Olsson's laboratory has analyzed the chromosome 1p11.2 region that includes the breast cancer-associated SNP rs11249433 (Thomas et al., Nature Genetics 2009). Through their studies on mRNA expression, they found that the rs11249433 genotype is associated with expression of the NOTCH2 gene, and that this association is stronger in estrogen receptor (ER) positive tumors compared with ER negative tumors (Fu et al., Molecular Cancer 2010). Her laboratory is also performing genetic and functional analysis of associations within the JAZF1 gene and prostate cancer risk (Thomas et al., Nature Genetics 2008). Her lab has re-sequenced the region around a prostate cancer-associated SNP, identified all genetic variants in high linkage disequilibrium, and performed further genotyping and association studies. Through a grant from the Center of Excellence in Integrative Cancer Biology and Genomics (CEICBG, in collaboration with Drs. Natasha Caplen and Stefan Ambs, CCR/NCI), they are combining studies of mRNA expression, siRNA, and pathways analysis to better understand the function of JAZF1.
Bridgitte Widemann Receives Von Recklinghausen Cancer Award
Brigitte Widemann, head of the Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Section in NCI CCR's Pediatric Oncology Branch, received the 2013 Von Recklinghausen Award from the Children's Tumor Foundation at the annual Neurofibromatosis Conference on June 9. The Von Recklinghausen award recognizes the researchers who have made significant contributions to neurofibromatosis research and clinical care. NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins is a past recipient. Widemann's research focuses on the application of new molecularly targeted agents to the treatment of childhood cancers and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). In addition to studying the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and toxicities of these novel agents, her lab evaluates novel clinical trial designs and trial endpoints, which may be more applicable for molecularly targeted agents. The clinical development of farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTI), which inhibit the posttranslational farnesylation required for the activity of wild-type and mutant ras proteins for patients with NF1 and refractory leukemias, serves as an example for this approach.
Louis Staudt Elected to NAS
Lou Staudt has been elected into the National Academy of Sciences, announced on April 30, 2013. He is among 84 new members. Members are elected to the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.
Staudt is deputy chief of NCI CCR's Metabolism Branch. His laboratory studies the molecular pathogenesis of human lymphoid malignancies and has three primary goals: to establish a new molecular diagnosis of human lymphoid malignancies using gene expression profiling, to elucidate the oncogenic pathways that result in malignant transformation of normal B lymphocytes, and to identify molecular targets for development of novel therapeutics for these cancers.
Rosenberg Wins Keio Medical Science Prize
Steven A. Rosenberg, a pioneer in the fields of basic tumor immunology and cancer immunotherapy, can add recipient of the 17th annual Keio Medical Science Prize to his list of academic and professional honors. The prize, awarded in September 2012 by Keio University in Tokyo, recognizes the outstanding and creative achievements of researchers in the fields of medicine and life sciences, in particular those contributing to scientific developments in medicine. Six recipients of the Keio Medical Science Prize have later won the Nobel Prize. Rosenberg, chief of surgery at the National Cancer Institute and head of the Tumor Immunology Section in NCI's Center for Cancer Research, has been at the forefront of efforts to develop an effective immunotherapy for human cancer. In his recent work, he has used genetic engineering to develop anti-tumor immune lymphocytes. He delivered his award lecture at Keio University in Tokyo on November 29, 2012.
Tom Misteli Wins Arthur S. Flemming Award
Tom Misteli, head of the Cell Biology of Genomes Group in NCI's Laboratory of Receptor Biology and Gene Expression, has won a 2011 Arthur S. Flemming Award. Misteli's laboratory studies the cell biology of genomes. Defects in genome organization and nuclear architecture are responsible for numerous human diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and muscular dystrophies, and they recently have been linked to human aging. Misteli's lab uses molecular techniques in conjunction with live-cell microscopy to understand how genomes are organized in intact cells and how the spatial organization of genomes contributes to their function. The lab uses several differentiation and disease models, including embryonic and adult stem cells, to elucidate how genome organization contributes to physiological processes and disease, particularly cancer and aging. See his February 2011 article in Scientific American, which created his illustration.
Established by the Downtown Jaycees in 1948, the Flemming Awards honor outstanding federal employees. Winners are selected from all areas of the federal service. The awards were established in honor of Arthur Flemming's commitment to public service throughout his distinguished career, which spanned seven decades and 11 presidencies.
Three NIHers Among PECASE Winners
In July 2012, President Obama named 96 researchers as recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers. Among them were three researchers from the NIH intramural research program: Peter Crompton of NIAID, for his studies on the mechanisms of naturally-acquired immunity to malaria; Daniel Larson of NCI, for his studies on transcription dynamics of single human cells; and Justin Taraska of NHLBI, for his studies on the architecture and control of vesicle fusion in excitable cells. The awardees visited the White House on July 31 for a ceremony and group shot with the President, followed by a local reception at the NIH on August 1.

By Jim Richardson. Comment, Issue 202, May 2009Published online: 23 April 2009
Social networks and blogs are the fastest growing online activities, according to a report published in March by research firm Nielsen Online. Almost 10% of all time spent on the internet is spent on these types of sites, which Nielsen describes as "member communities", and they are visited by more than two-thirds of the world's online users.
This has not gone unnoticed by museums and galleries, with many creating some kind of presence on sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. But because this has primarily been done as a marketing tool, institutions are missing a far greater opportunity. By treading gently into the second generation of web development and design, known as Web 2.0, museums risk achieving little, and are effectively paying mere lip service to online social engagement. If they were to make a proper commitment to the enterprise, they could transform their relationship with audiences, change people's perceptions of them and vastly expand the reach of their collections.The Nielsen research shows that a major factor in the success of social networks is that they allow people to select and share content. This has become a hobby, even considered by some to be a serious creative outlet, with web users spending time "curating" their online space. Museums are well placed to appeal to this new generation of "curators" because they offer rich and interesting content that can be virtually "cut-up" and stuck back together online in numerous different ways to reflect the individual tastes of each user. If remixing, reinterpreting and sharing interesting content is, as Nielsen suggests, the kind of engaging interaction that draws people to social networks, then museums should embrace the idea that "everyone is a curator", both online and offline.Most of the institutions that are adapting their own websites with those facets of the social networks that so many people find attractive are in the US. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York relaunched its website in March. It now includes links to the museum's online users on various social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Users can also create personal online accounts, which allow them to bookmark upcoming events, create online exhibitions and "collect" works of art via their mobile phone as they walk around the gallery and view them later on the website. Victor Samra, digital media marketing manager at MoMA, says: "It's not enough just to broadcast information now. Sharing and participating in discussions are becoming normal activities on the web, so I think people are coming to expect it. People want to engage with content they are really passionate about, and museums have a great opportunity to provide this for them. This helps to change the perception of the museum as a building with four closed walls to an organisation with personality and a human face."One potential obstacle to museums sharing content online is the issue of copyright and how to protect images if they are put on the internet. Legal implications aside, from a practical point of view this approach is becoming outdated. For example, the Art Museum of Estonia has gone against convention by actively encouraging visitors to photograph its collection; the MoMA website helps users to co-create content and share these creations with friends. All museums want to create a dialogue with their audiences, and most museum staff are well aware that the internet can be a useful tool for doing this. But museums such as MoMA that have wholeheartedly embraced the new digital environment are becoming part of the conversation, rather then just pushing content or questions at visitors and then sitting back.Online activity such as MoMA's requires investment, both in terms of web development costs and staff time, but if this is where people are and how they are communicating, then, one can argue, museums should be there too. Curators pride themselves on using their collections to analyse issues, provoke reactions and ask difficult questions. But these questions are no longer just being debated over a coffee or in the galleries themselves; they are also being discussed online, whether it is on social network sites such as Facebook, online discussion forums or the many blogs, and the content prompting these responses is no longer restricted to the four walls it actually inhabits. This means museums and galleries need to expand the sites where they introduce, narrate and edit their programmes. The writer is the managing director of Newcastle-based Sumo, a design consultancy specialising in arts and culture. He is a speaker at the conference, "Communicating the Museum", in Malaga (24-27 June). www.communicatingthemuseum.com

I generally agree with the idea of creating online engagement with cultural heritage materials. Easy for me to say--I work for an online-only archive. We are, in fact, working on a tool that will enable visitors to mix and match our content, content from other websites, and content that they upload themselves into "media shows"--a lightweight replacement for powerpoint. But, despite the fact that Facebook is where many of our site visitors are, I am not convinced that it is the best medium for this kind of work. Facebook is closed--unless someone is sufficiently conscious of permissions, any mashups or sharing that they do is private to themselves and/or to their friends. As I type this, I find myself wondering if that is not the point--that instead of being all public (say, with flickr commons), or all private (the usual model for providing access to tools on institutional websites), people =are= more comfortable sharing only with those who they choose to trust. Hmmm.
Great article! I couldn't agree with Jim more when he says, "... This means museums and galleries need to expand the sites where they introduce, narrate and edit their programmes." That's the idea behind Open Museum.org (of which I'm a co-founder), a not-for-profit exhibit space that permits any individual or organization -- regardless of location, technical skills and resources -- to create dynamic, online exhibits and member communities. It's in Alpha release now, with Beta planned by July 1. In keeping with our social commitment Open Museum will remain free to visitors and low or no-cost to organizations.
I completely agree with Jim –especially concerning his comments on curators 'using their collections to analyse issues, to provoke reactions and ask difficult questions'. The museum's strength lies specifically at this juncture, and, when museums go online, they draw on these kinds of traditions – already familiar from the physical museum - to extend and augment their activities online. In addition, when museums cross over from the physical to the mediated, they bring to their online surrogates the very same sense of trust that is embedded in the bricks and mortar museum. Through well-structured websites, museums offer audiences rich and meaningful resources that has been authored to respond to these very same questions; this time beyond the museum walls. However, Jim reminds us how research has identified the ways that users are travelling the net. Without dovetailing into these pathways - Wikipedia, Flickr, and Facebook – museum content – as excellent as it is - could sit in deep silos - with users bypassing our resources for similar content (although far less rich, or structured) already at their fingertips. In order to remain relevant, these are spaces that museums must colonise. There are already some excellent examples of museums taking the lead in social network platforms, and opening their web spaces up to user-generated content - as noted in this persuasive article. Having said this, there is also resistance from the managers of memory institutions who are not too eager to shift the balance between those reading the museum, and those who might wish to actually write the museum; in a truly Web 2.0, read/write scenario. Clearly there have to be meeting places, where social networks of museum professionals and museum users can come to read and write together, and, it is up to the museum community to provide these public spaces for meaningful discussion in the museum tradition.

July is the month that the fashion and beauty brands unveil all their Christmas goodies. I try to avoid Christmas In July because I don't work on a mag any more and frankly, it's exhausting!

Beauty snippets: Boys in blusher, Marc Cain X Uslu Airlines, the problem with product placement, summer scents, YSL Forever Light Creator
The big beauty buzz for me during the last few weeks has been around men's beauty and grooming. With the news of Tom Ford's imminent grooming line (due this autumn) and Marc Jacobs Beauty's unisex products (coming to a Sephora near you soon), it seems men's luxury makeup is tipping into the mainstream. Pushing things further, Hedi Slimane's models at Saint Laurent wore full-on eyeliner and lipstick for the SS14 shows in Paris. If anyone understands youth culture it's Slimane so I'm keen to see if the cool young indie set take this aesthetic to its natural conclusion. Having grown up on Nick Rhodes, Adam Ant and David Sylvian, I hope they do. Continue reading
Mood boosting nails from Kure Bazaar and disco nails from Yves Saint Laurent
Summer just doesn't seem to want to kick in in NW10. I'm still wearing my woolly scarves and HeatTech which doesn't do much to put me in an upbeat mood. But this is where the power of make-up really comes in as a mood-booster. I've been testing out these Kure Bazaar nail polishes and the colour palette is pretty impressive. My current favourite is Fabulous, a uplifting pink with just a hint of milkiness (third from the left). Kelly is another hot, tropical pink, this time with a subtle shimmer. Both shades are super-flattering on short nails and the added bonus is that Kure Bazaar is one of the new generation of non-toxic nail polishes that are emerging. You can buy them at Selfridges and KureBazaar.com.
Another bit of nail news comes from Yves Saint Laurent. I love YSL polishes – the colours and consistency are second to none, and of course you know I adore the gold casing. The way these La Laque Couture Tie & Dye duos work is quite interesting. Apply the main dense colour as your base coat (choose from signature Yves Saint Laurent shades of blue, pink, purple and orange), wait five minutes, then shake the shimmery topcoat and apply as many layers as you like depending on how intensely you want your nails to dazzle. They cost £18 per duo and are a cute idea for statementy disco nails – and let's face it, disco is definitely cool again…
Oh and while we're on a nail tip (LOL), I've just discovered Deborah Lipmann's 'The Stripper To Go' a lavender-infused nail lacquer remover finger mitt. You get one mitt in a sachet which easily cleans ten nails in about ten seconds. Converted! Six sachets cost £14 so they're not cheap but an excellent option for travel.
Beauty buy: NCLA galaxy nail wraps
If I had long, oval nails I would definitely get in on the nail wrap game. And my first choice would be these otherworldly 'Stephanie's Galaxy' wraps from NCLA at Cult Beauty. Designed by Hollywood nail artist, Stephanie Stone, these limited edition wraps cost £12.50 per pack (with two full applications in each) and with the help of a coat of Seche Vite, apparently last for well over a week.
Nail news: Spring nudes and the perfect pedi pink
On the nail front, the general consensus is that nude nails are in, and that includes the so-out-it's-now-in French mani. I haven't had a French manicure for years but I did go through a phase of having an American (the more subtle version) at Topshop every week. For doing it yourself though, it's all a bit of a faff. The lazy-girl option could be Dior's new, one-step clear Nail Glow. According to Vogue, it enhances white tips with one sweep of the brush. Continue reading

What Netanyahu's meddling in US election means for Obama, Romney, and diplomacy
Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu speaks at the United Nations General Assembly today, where he is expected to reiterate his demands that President Obama set 'red lines' for Iran. It appears Netanyahu is meddling in US presidential elections, fueling rifts with Obama to favor Mitt Romney.
Charles Dharapak/AP
Some observers claim that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to tip the scales against President Obama in the elections this November. Judging by his recent behavior – and based on my own research about how such efforts have played out in other settings – these accusations are probably correct.
The realization that Mr. Netanyahu may be meddling in the American presidential elections could complicate the foreign policy debate on the campaign trail and have repercussions for future diplomacy between the United States and Israel.
At the start of this month, Mr. Netanyahu suddenly began pushing for Washington to lay down new "red lines" on Iran's nuclear program. He also warned on Sept. 11 that nations that fail to do so "don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel."
Next, anonymous Israeli sources (and reportedly Netanyahu himself) suggested that Mr. Obama was snubbing Israel's leader by refusing to meet during the UN General Assembly.
Despite an immediate effort by President Obama to soothe tensions through a late-night phone call to Netanyahu, the prime minister then went on Sunday talk shows to tell the American people that their president was not being tough enough on Iran.
Netanyahu's dogged efforts to highlight small gaps between the Obama administration's position and his own have prompted accusations that he seeks to help elect his old friend Mitt Romney. Observers who accuse him of meddling include veteran columnists with the The New York Times, the New Yorker, Time Magazine, and Ha'aretz, as well as Israeli opposition leader Shaul Mofaz.
Meanwhile, other expert commentators believe that Netanyahu's actions are not aimed at electoral interference. Netanyahu himself felt pressed to reassure observers that "I'm not going to be drawn into the American election."
The problem with authoritatively trying to prove or disprove such accusations right now is that practitioners of partisan intervention have strong incentives at the time to deny their true intentions, casting their support for favored politicians in terms of policy issues instead of personal preference.
In my own studies of partisan intervention in the US-Israel relationship, I have found that it can take years before participants feel comfortable admitting their true intentions. Indeed, I was only recently able to get former American officials on record – and declassified archives confirming – that President George H. W. Bush pursued a determined, conscious campaign in 1992 to get pro-peace candidate Yitzhak Rabin elected Israel's prime minister.
Still, the current case is brimming with indicators that one of Netanyahu's private goals may be to shape the US presidential election. For one, he has a fraught relationship with the incumbent and a longstanding connection with the challenger.
What seems to be a manufactured crisis over Obama refusing to meet him at the UN is especially telling. This sort of "snub diplomacy" is a classic feature in many past cases of partisan intervention.
For instance, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Madeleine Albright all floated stories about refusing to meet Netanyahu or his deputies as part of their effort to turn Israeli opinion against the Israeli leader in 1999, hoping to make clear he had lost favor in Washington.

PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale is not Super Smash Bros. It's important to differentiate the two from the get-go. Given that Smash Bros. all but exists in a genre of one, it's only natural that comparisons should be made between Smash Bros and Sony's first venture into the brand brawler genre. Super Smash Bros. and everything Nintendo's flagship trademark brawler represents, has been hanging like an invisible noose around PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale's neck ever since it was first revealed. There's no escaping Smash Bros. comparisons with this one; PSASBR and what it does right and what it habitually does "not so right", is for many, defined by how it manages to negotiate the Smash Bros comparison conundrum. Yes, PSASBR is unapologetically influenced by Smash Bros. and wears said influences on its sleeve but it is not the unashamed, blatant and barefaced carbon copy that many would have you believe it to be. PSASBR has its own pulse and its own tact, and has enough going for it to distinguish it from the seemingly omnipresent Smash Bros. contrasts. Comparisons to Ninty's fighter, though advance and just at an entry level, literally don't matter after a half an hour with Battle Royale. PlayStation All-Stars has more than enough going for it to be evaluated and enjoyed all by itself and away from the perpetuating shadow of Smash Bros'. esteemed brand fighting legacy.
To say that PSASBR is a celebration of all things PlayStation would be something of an understatement. The game thoughtfully and cleverly draws on a seemingly infinite pool of PlayStation characters, universes, popular culture references, iconography and trimmings – and anchors it to an experience that allows you to beat the crap out of each other and implode each other into triangles, circles, crosses and squares in a kind of combustion of PlayStation confetti. The game builds bridges between universes and pits twenty PlayStation "All-Stars" against each other in 4 player free for all brawls. These "All-Stars" range from some of the original PlayStation's most popular and original trend setters to even a handful of characters whose presence on a PlayStation platform will not fully be realised until next year. It's an interesting character roster, drawing no-brainer PlayStation icons together with a handful of curious character selections. For example, new Devil May Cry Dante make's the cut ahead of stalwart seasoned PS2 Dante, while Metal Gear Rising's Raiden is deemed to be more of an "All-Star" than Solid Snake and lines out in-game without even a fleeting reference to Snake. It's easy to see why these characters are here, they have new games to promote, but their presence, though welcome, does make you question the character selection process. The twenty "All-Stars" you start the game with define this experience and for the most part, they ensure the experience is a magnificent love letter to PlayStation's much celebrated gaming testimony. Nathan Drake, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Sweet Tooth, Kratos and Sly Cooper are all present, as too are Ape Escape's Spike, PaRappa The Rapper and MediEvil's Sir Daniel Fortesque, all of whom are legendary PlayStation characters in their own right. There's some third party representation going on too, with the aforementioned Dante, Raiden, BioShock's Big Daddy and Tekken's Heihachi Mishima. It would be ridiculous to begrudge a characters inclusion, not least because everyone included has something different and unique to offer and most importantly, speaks well to the parent brand. However, the roster exceptions and absentees are as tangible as they are disappointingly frustrating.
Given just how much effort and dedication to the brand developers SuperBot has put into PSASBR, you cannot conceivably blame them for absent characters. PSASBR has so much fan-service going on that you can bet your bottom dollar that they tried to get the likes of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon, Solid Snake and Cloud Strife for launch. Of course they did. These characters alone would be enough to shift a hell of a lot more copies of this game at launch. But they aren't on the disc and it's a real shame. You cannot account for this as something SuperBot did wrong. If you want to blame someone, blame the IP holders. It's not to say that we might not see these characters at some stage by way of DLC, but given just how intrinsically tethered to the extended PlayStation lineage these characters are, you'd think that if SuperBot could easily get them, they would have been on the disc day one. The shame stems from what is actually on the disc, because what is there is already a fantastic fan service, just imagine how incredible it would be if these absent characters were there too? SuperBot would surely have done wonderful things with these characters, but alas it wasn't meant to be. It's akin to going to see your favourite band in the whole world live and watching them perform a host of rare songs, b-sides and obscure album tracks that mainstream audiences mightn't be as familiar with. That's what PSASBR feels like. But then imagine if your favourite band then came out for their encore and didn't play the song that made them so famous to begin with, the breakaway single that everyone knows the hook to and continues to be associated with the band to this day. You'd be disappointed and puzzled a little bit. The absence of characters like Crash Bandicoot certainly propel this sensation of puzzlement and innate disappointment.
The twenty characters that do front the roster of All-Stars are impressive natural extensions of their original incarnations and the titles that made them famous. The detail here is exciting and never sacrifices perspective for the sake of making these characters fit a neutral set "one-size has to fit all" mould created for this title. From each character's attacks, to their movement, their look, their voice over and their all encompassing super attacks, each character retains all of the personality of their own experience in this completely new one. Sometimes the balance can be questionable, but for the most part, each characters basic and advanced attacks level out and follow an uncomplicated and accessible control scheme with attacks mapped to the face buttons, left analogue stick and R2 for the most part. The gameplay is joyously rewarding, fast, frantic and completely organic. Yes, if you are a button basher, you'll certainly have your fun here. But the clever player will work out combos, integrate throws into attacks and know when is the right time to deliver death by means of a super attack.
Super attacks are the difference between winning and losing. There's no life bar here, instead as you attack the other fighters in the arena you build up super meter on the bottom of the screen. There are three different levels to reach, each one dishing out a more powerful attack. There's a subtle strategy to supers – even though a level three dishes out the most damage, it's not always the most lethal option. A perfectly timed level one can do just as much damage and depending on the circumstances and the balance of battle, dishing out level one's instead of saving up for two's and three's might be your best chance at winning. It's an interesting concept, not least because you can carefully decide when to trigger special moves, dishing out smaller attacks or gambling it all and saving up for a stronger attack. Each special is an annexe and a hat-tip to each character's day job and the game they represent. Raiden will slice up everyone on screen while they hide in Metal Gear-esque cardboard boxes, Sir Daniel will evaporate enemies with the Anubis Stone, Heihachi will chain his enemies to a rocket ala his Tekken 5 ending and Sackboy will use his pop-it to capture everyone on screen in prize bubbles to burst them to death. This is indulgent fanboy service in every way shape or form and it underscores every element of the Battle Royale experience from the characters, to their moves, to the pick-up items, to the arenas and worlds you fight in.
The attention to detail in each fighting level is worthy of its own paragraph, not least because it's quite brilliant. The mash-ups, the cross-over's and the themes, all merit a genuinely affectionate thumbs up to SuperBot. They nailed it. From Jak & Daxter's Misty Island being bombarded by Hot Shots Golf nine iron missiles, to the ever endearing viral Patapon attacking God of War's lumbering monstrosity Hades, SuperBot have crafted original interactive levels that not only stay true to the underscoring PlayStation theme, but actually affect the way you play. They're one of the games strongest components. PaRappa's Dojo comes under attack from Killzone's Helghast, Loco Roco's chirpy infectious kaleidoscopic world comes face to face with a Metal Gear Ray and Twisted Metal's Iron Maiden clampers up the walls of BioShock Infinite's skylined Colombia. This is perhaps one of the more complete and total differences by comparison to Smash Bros. Smash Bros'. levels are essentially simply emulated character themes, Battle Royale's levels are eccentric random interactive mash-ups that make no sense on paper and complete sense when you play with them. The levels, much like the characters and their animations look great and visually the engine carries everything and everyone without sacrificing anything. The presentation is slick, attractive and stylish.
Each character has their own story campaign, played out in solo arcade mode. They are also directly partnered with a rival. Here's where things falter a little. The majority of stories are weak, loosely tethered together by voiced over still drawings that kind of don't make any sense. You'll go from any number of three minute fights not really knowing why your fighting to begin with. Then when you meet your rival, you're thrust into a purple PSASBR arena to fight them on the way to a confrontation with the final boss, failed PlayStation mascot Polygon-Man. The addition of the presumed dead and remarkably obscure Polygon-man is genius, but why is he here and why are we fighting him? What's his motivation? The game fails to explain any of this and it's all a bit too random and thrown together. There was a great chance here to tell a story about Polygon-Man that could have defined all of the characters and how they interact with the solo experience. It's a real missed opportunity.
Multiplayer is where you'll get the most out of the experience and thankfully the action is just as enjoyable and addictive online. There's not much variation in terms of multiplayer modes, but straight up 4 player fighting or 2v2 team combat will more than keep you satisfied. The more you fight with your chosen character, the higher you rank up, allowing you to open up new icons, intros, victory animations, costumes and a bevy of extras. There's literally hundreds of small extras to open between all the fighters, so if you're the kind of gamer who wants to do everything and see everything, PSASBR will keep you busy for quite a while. Multiplayer also allows for cross-play between PS3 and PSASBR on Vita. Connecting between both versions worked flawlessly and generally speaking, apart from a couple of small changes (there's no R1 on the Vita, so you use the touch screen) both version are literally identical, and a real credit to the power of PlayStation Vita. It's also worth mentioning that if you buy the PS3 version, you are gifted the Vita version for free.
More than just a barefaced Smash Bros. imitator, PSASBR holds its own and is wonderful celebration of all things PlayStation. With rewarding frantic and layered gameplay, varied characters and fighting styles, a thoughtful presentation and an excellent multiplayer mode, PSASBR is a must for fighting fans, especially if you're a seasoned brand PlayStation fan. It's not perfect, but these imperfections do not merit missing out on the greater experience. The brand brawler genre isn't just about Smash Bros. anymore.

Staff from one of the North East's leading electrical companies are swapping live wires for a zip wire in aid of two regional charities.
A team of four from Sunderland-based McNally and Thompson, are taking part in the annual Zip Wear event for the North East Autism Society and SAFC's official charity, the Foundation of Light.
The fundraising event, which is being held on Saturday April 5, challenges participants to zip 250 metres from the roof of the Stadium of Light to the Liebherr Cranes site on the opposite bank of the River Wear.
McNally and Thompson employees, Fred Hood, Mike West, Dave Wealleans and Mark Taylor, are among those taking part and all four will be zip wiring for the very first time.
Fred said: "McNally and Thompson have been strong supporters of the Foundation of Light for several years and the Zip Wear challenge seemed like a great way to continue this support and enjoy an adrenalin boost at the same time.
"We're all really daunted by the idea of zip wiring from the Stadium roof but are really excited at the same time."
Fred, Mike, Dave and Mark, all aged 40-50, will be joined for the Zip Wear challenge by Fred's 19 year old daughter, Abbie.
They are among dozens of people set to zip across the river at up to 25 miles per hour, with proceeds being split between the Foundation of Light and the North East Autism Society, which helps to educate and support people of all ages who are dealing with autism across the region
This will be the third-annual Zip Wear event hosted by the Foundation of Light, with previous events raising more than £25,000 to help fund the charity's work to involve, educate and inspire more than 42,000 of the region's young people every year.
Jemma Garrett, Events Coordinator at the Stadium of Light said: "The previous Zip Wear events have been a fantastic success and we hope to raise even more money this year with support from the team at McNally and Thompson and various other individuals and businesses across the North East."
Registration for Zip Wear 2014 costs £20 if participants can pledge to raise a minimum of £100 in sponsorship or £120 outright and places are strictly limited.

This thread is not to debate the pros & cons of training & background check requirements that can be done here: http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulle...ourse-ccw.html
Simply, will AZ or any other SHALL ISSUE state have more law abiding citizens carrying if the bill passes.
I think that the CC numbers will rise, but only a small amount. In AZ, the CCW process is simple enough that those who want to carry have completed the process and carry.
If the CCW process was more difficult/ costly/ lengthy, then this bill would probably have a larger impact.
I support the bill, but wonder how many more law abiding guns it will put on the streets.
Note: I am making the assumption that DC members agree that law abiding guns on the streets makes a safer community.

Cross-Platform Software Development Using CMake
As a software developer, you probably organize source code in subdirectories. Different subdirectories can represent libraries, executables, testing or even documentation. We now can enable or disable subdirectories to build parts of our project and skip other parts. To tell CMake to process a subdirectory, use the SUBDIRS command. This command tells CMake to go to the specified subdirectory and find the CMakeLists.txt file. Using this command, we can now make our project a bit more organized. We move all the library files to the library subdirectory Library, and the top-level CMakeLists.txt now looks like this:
PROJECT(MyProject C) SUBDIRS(SomeLibrary) INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(SomeLibrary) ADD_EXECUTABLE(MyProgram main.c) TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(MyProgram MyLibrary)
The INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES command tells the compiler where to find header files for main.c. So, even if your project has five hundred subdirectories and you move all your sources in, you will not have any problems getting dependencies to work. CMake does all this for you.
So, now we want to "cmakify" zlib. Start with a simple CMakeLists.txt file:
PROJECT(ZLIB) # source files for zlib SET(ZLIB_SRCS adler32.c gzio.c inftrees.c uncompr.c compress.c infblock.c infutil.c zutil.c crc32.c infcodes.c deflate.c inffast.c inflate.c trees.c ) ADD_LIBRARY(zlib ${ZLIB_SRCS}) ADD_EXECUTABLE(example example.c) TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(example zlib)
Now you can build it. However, there are couple of little things to remember.First, zlib needs unistd.h on some platforms. So, we add this test:
INCLUDE ( ${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/CheckIncludeFile.cmake) CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE( "unistd.h" HAVE_UNISTD_H) IF(HAVE_UNISTD_H) ADD_DEFINITION(-DHAVE_UNISTD_H) ENDIF(HAVE_UNISTD_H)
Also, we have to do something about shared libraries on Windows. Zlib needs to be compiled with -DZLIB_DLL, for proper export macros. So, we add the following option:
OPTION(ZLIB_BUILD_SHARED "Build ZLIB shared" ON) IF(WIN32) IF(ZLIB_BUILD_SHARED) SET(ZLIB_DLL 1) ENDIF(ZLIB_BUILD_SHARED) ENDIF(WIN32) IF(ZLIB_DLL) ADD_DEFINITION(-DZLIB_DLL) ENDIF(ZLIB_DLL)
This works, but there is a better way. Instead of passing ZLIB_DLL and HAVE_UNISTD_H as compiler flags, we can configure an include file. We do that by preparing an input file with tags for CMake. An example of the include file for zlib would be zlibConfig.h.in:
#ifndef _zlibConfig_h #define _zlibConfig_h #cmakedefine ZLIB_DLL #cmakedefine HAVE_UNISTD_H #endif
Here, the \#cmakedefine VAR is replaced with \#define VAR or with /* \#undef VAR */, depending on whether VAR is defined. We tell CMake to create the file zlibConfig.h using the following CMake command:
CONFIGURE_FILE(> ${ZLIB_SOURCE_DIR}/zlibDllConfig.h.in ${ZLIB_BINARY_DIR}/zlibDllConfig.h)
With the information in this article you will be able to start using CMake for most of your everyday tasks. Except, now you are able to connect to your friend's AIX system and build your project, if your code is portable enough. Also, the CMake files are much easier to read than Makefiles, so your friend can check what you missed.
This example, however, only scratches the surface; CMake is capable of doing several other tasks. With its face-lift in version 1.6, it can now do platform independent TRY_RUN and TRY_COMPILE builds, which come in handy when you want to test the capabilities of the system. It natively supports only C and C++, but there is limited support for building Java files. With a little effort, you can build anything from Python- or Emacs-compiled scripts to LaTeX documents. By using CMake with the testing framework Dart, you can do platform-independent regression testing. If you want to go even further, you can use CMake's C API to write a plug-in for CMake, which adds your own command to the list of existing commands.
CMake is being actively used in several projects such as VTK and ITK. Its benefits are enormous in traditional software development, however they become even more apparent, when portability is necessary. By using CMake for software development, your code will be significantly more "open", because it will build on a variety of platforms.
Andrej Cedilnik (firstname.lastname@example.com) is a senior software engineer at Kitware Inc., a small business devoted to imaging, visualization and computer graphics. He is one of the developers behind CMake, and in his spare time he is a Linux evangelist.
dependencies is an issue
sometimes dependencies not installed because of versions conflict. so you should select exact lib that you need.
SET_SOURCE_FILE_PROPERTIES sh

Re: Cross-Platform Software Development Using CMake
This sounds really cool. I may give CMake a try for my next new project.
Beware of the lack of documentation though...
One inconvenient of CMAKE is that the documentation available online is very brief. If you want to do anything serious with it, I think buying the book is really necessary.
No worse than autohell
The autotools suite suffers from the same lack of clear, simple docs and examples. CMake is at least easy to pick up.
Yep, needs documentation
Seems like a very cool project. I'm trying to pick it up without the book, and I'm having a pretty hard time of it. More publicly available samples of how to do things would go a long way to helping the project reach a critical mass within the community.
You'd think they'd make it more obvious
You can get a fairly comprehensive explanation of a lot of the variables using the command "cmake --help-html > cmake.html" - the resulting file is very useful and quite verbose.
Having said that, this still leaves you badly in need of worked examples.
How about teh KDE4 sources
> this still leaves you badly in need of worked examples
The KDE4 WebSVN might provide quite a few working examples.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Motion of a particle moving at a constant speed on a circle. Though the magnitude of the velocity of such an object may be constant, the object is constantly accelerating because its direction is constantly changing. At any given instant its direction is perpendicular to a radius of the circle drawn to the point of location of the object on the circle. The acceleration is strictly a change in direction and is a result of a force directed toward the centre of the circle. This centripetal force causes centripetal acceleration.

Countries with school uniforms mandated include Japan, India, Australia and the UK, as well as many other places. In some countries uniform types vary a lot from school to school, but in the UK many pupils between 11 and 16 of age wear a formal jacket, tie and trousers for boys and blouse, tie and trousers or skirt or culottes for girls. The ties will usually be in a set pattern for the school & jackets will usually carry a patch on the breast pocket with the school's coat of arms and motto or emblem and name. Jackets are being replaced in many schools by sweatshirts bearing the school badge. Children in many UK state primary schools will have a uniform jumper and or polo shirt with the school name and logo.

While Cooking on the Cheap, Colicchio Is Spit Out by a Six Year Old
Categories: Food News
Turns out, the kid really does not like his vegetables.
Dish one he coughed out was a shredded carrot, apple raisin salad, and a beef stir-fry made by Colicchio and Maria Hines of Tilth in Seattle. Dish two that was rejected included a frisee and avocado salad, with chicken thighs and a vegetable quinoa from Ming Tsai of Blue Ginger in Wellesley, Massachusetts and Holly Smith of Cafe Juanita of Kirkland, Washington. "He circled numerous unhappy faces on his judges scorecard," wrote Carman.Austin and his mother Kim Mrkva from Toledo were one of two families chosen to judge the event after winning a contest from Parents and Ser Padres magazines. The cook-off was an event from the Building a Healthier future summit, organized byPartnership for a Healthy America, working to eliminate childhood obesity.
Colicchio said he has two kids at home, and conceded, "when you got a half hour to cook, you got to do what you can. Those kids are hungry when they want to eat."
"This is what parents gotta deal with," said emcee Sam Kass, assistant White House chef.
I'd have some trouble keeping these menus under $10 bucks, let alone worry whether a child will like what's on the plate. And I wouldn't even serve frisee for my father, let alone a six year old. I love it, but it's bitter and spindly.

[Posted Monday, October 30, 2012, at 11:00 a.m.; UPDATED Saturday, November 17, 2012, at 1:30 p.m.]
Pro-Gun New Hampshire General Counsel, attorney Evan Nappen, has won a significant court case involving concealed carry licensing in New Hampshire. His client was denied a NH non-resident carry license solely due to a 34 year old misdemeanor marijuana conviction received when he was 18 years old. The State was stubbornly enforcing their administrative rule (which, by the way, has no basis in law) that makes any misdemeanor conviction for drugs an automatic denial.
In the article published a week ago on this website, attorney Nappen announced a public hearing on changing the NH Department of Safety's rules for denial of a non-resident carry license, and made the crucial point that NH authorities often mistakenly rely on the overly restrictive rules used by the DOS/State Police for non-residents to deny resident carry licenses. Further, his article went on to argue that the DOS Administrative Rules went beyond the law, and should be changed to bring fairness to both NH residents and non-residents. (See (http://pgnh.org/public_hearing_on_nh_carry_license_rules_that_threaten_gun_rights_please_be_there .)
Now, attorney Nappen has won an important court case that stands for two legal issues regarding concealed carry licensing in New Hampshire. Quoting the judge's decision: first, that "there does not appear to be any articulable, legitimate reason for the disparate treatment of residents and non-residents"; second, that "the provision precluding the issuance of a pistol permit [sic*] for an out of state resident based upon a misdemeanor drug conviction is unreasonable on its face."
Put these two elements together, and you have a judicial precedent (though not binding on other courts) that can be used in other, future appeals of NH licensing denials, for both residents and non-residents, that a misdemeanor drug conviction should no longer be used as an automatic basis for denying concealed carry licenses. Given how often NH police and courts deny licenses because of such misdemeanor convictions, this precedent will prove to be instructive.
We believe that this is a step toward defining the "suitable person" language in the state's carry licensing law to mean that anyone who isn't prohibited by law from possessing a gun shouldn't be prohibited from concealed carry.
The case against the NH State Police was decided on October 22, 2012, in Concord District Court by the Honorable Judge Boyle. This is the third case on NH non-resident license denial taken by Attorney Nappen — and not only has he won all three of these cases, he is the one who defacto established that non-resident denials could be appealed in court (and Concord District Court in particular); previously, denials could be appealed only in administrative hearings within the Department of Safety — where the process is unfairly slanted against the gun owner.
* (Note that, as described in our article at http://pgnh.org/gunlawfaqs, the NH Pistol/Revolver License for concealed carry should not be called a "pistol permit.")
UPDATE: The State, meaning the NH Attorney General's office, submitted a "Motion for Reconsideration" (i.e., a request for the judge to change his mind because of further arguments) to the court, but on November 13, Judge Boyle denied that motion "for all the reasons set forth by [the appellant (meaning attorney Nappen)]."

In Response To: Help (Daylene Lewis)
You can print out the food lists from Steve Shapiro's section found on the main page. It will cost you nothing and you will be able to stay away from the avoids and dig into the highly beneficial foods for a few weeks to get the feel of this way of eating. Many problems disappear in that short amount of time. The advantage of having the book is that you can see the logic and reasoning behind the new method of eating. It is a way of life more than a diet. You will see this as you read the boards daily and get to learn about the advantages of changing your shopping and cooking habits. It is worth it! The people on the boards are very knowlegeable (some of them are in the health field) and will answer your questions as they come up. Frank
