Boston Bruins forward Andrew Ference --- who donned the black hat and was saddled with a a fine for his single-figured gesture earlier in the series --- added two assists and one questionable hit in his team's 4-3 overtime victory over the Montreal Canadiens in Game 7 of the first-round series on Wednesday..
With the puck well up ice about halfway through the third period, when replays showed that Ference delivered a hit to the head of Montreal center Jeff Halpern on the ice and forced a stoppage in play. (No penalty was called on the play.) Halpern was eventually helped off the ice and into the locker room with the assistance of Montreal's trainer, but he did return.
Ference had a hearing by phone with NHL officials on Thursday, but the league did not levy a suspension.
"When it first happened I wasn't (worried about a suspension)," Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli said (via NESN). "I thought it was just incidental contact, but when I took a closer look at bit I could see where the league's concerns lie. But when you look at the whole play, we turned the puck over at our blue [line], and when that happens the D are supposed to close off the rim around the wall.
Ference received a $2,500 fine for giving Montreal fans the finger after a goal last Thursday. The league also decided against disciplining teammate Milan Lucic for his hit on Montreal's Jaroslav Spacek in Game 6 that drew a boarding major and a game misconduct.

I can get on-board with this idea.
My suggestion for , albeit a little extreme, is to introduce new BIS items that are BOA and have a chance to drop from bosses with 5 NV stacks. Keep the chance really low, around 1-3%, maybe lower. Make the new pieces be; Shoulders with CC or CD and up to 300 prim, + some random affixes Pants with CD or Min/Max damage and prim stat up to 200 with sockets, + some random affixes Bracers with CC and CD with prim stat around 200, + random affixes (and/or possibly new affixes similar to some legendary's items, maybe something like Elite affixes, I wouldn't mind a periodic dampening shield or shielding) Sounds like incentive to me, any one else? |
Diablo 2's end game was all about Diablo himself. Toughest boss in the game with the best drops. Then why did we all farm Meph? |
I'll personally never run Diablo because of the idiotic format of the fight. Phases are a neat idea, but the discussion/cut scene thing in between forms is just lame.
It's not for everybody. I get that. But I think this is something a lot of us want and want it badly. I truely miss going in large groups to take on Diablo or Baal with a chance at finding something great and sharing what we found.
I also know they are working hard on adding ways for us to find great stuff. But I really want this to be applied to fighting Diablo himself. I want that battle to feel rewarding every time I go through it.
Glad to see a lot of people for this and not against it. :D |
oh, it could be something as simple as. a) after killing diablo at 5 stack, you get a buff that lasts 1-2hrs and persists through all games/logouts. means you do a4 first, then go into any other game you want. 15% movement speed buff (above the 24% gear buff) subject to a 50% cap.(whatever the global cap) and 50% more MF (above the 625% mf mp10 cap) and the following skills experience a cd buff angry chicken 4 second cd horror 3 second cd spirit walk 4 second cd leap 2 second cd teleport 2 second cd vault *reduced disc cost to 3* tempest rush no spirit cost deadly reach no spirit cost, 0.5 sec cd (or it could be like 8 potions that lasts 15 minutes each that give you the buff mentioned as a reward for diablo 5 stack)

I was thinking a new tier (lvl64) that has a small chance to drop in act 4...possibly only from bosses. It may not be the best idea, but there should be some reason to actually go to act 4, and to fight any bosses because currently I, and everyone I've talked to or seen posting on the forums, have no desire to ever do either of these two things.
Edited by Doomherald#1865 on 3/5/2013 9:36 PM PST
I personally believe the only reason to go to act 4 is to fight Diablo. Act 4 is so short to begin with that Diablo is really the main focus here. In that sence I dont think they should extend Act 4, but make Diablo runs an addition to end game and it should be loot focused, not something like he may drop an organ or a key under a small % chance.
I want Diablo to be how he used to be in the first 2 games. |
farmers will always go for what is the most efficient drops/time. and repeat til their eyes bleed.
I actually like killing champs as there is more variety then just killing the same boss over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

farmers will always go for what is the most efficient drops/time. and repeat til their eyes bleed. And that's 100% acceptable. But does that mean we should strip away the idea of going after Diablo for great drops in group play for the players who greatly enjoyed this for years over? No I don't think so. As simple as this is. If it's not your thing then you can continue your fav. activities in the world os sanctuary. For example. I don't farm for keys at all. I got 1 hell fire ring and it's enough for me. But my opinion on key runs doesn't mean I think it should be stripped from the game solely based off the idea that its not for me. Adding Diablo runs is just a great option for additional content in our end game and a great option for players to play together. |
I'd love to have boss runs viable in the game.
Not because I want to do that all the time, but because I want that style of play as an extra option and something different to do. What's the point in killing a boss right now if they drop the same as an elite? |
Belial & the Butcher are also really cool boss fights that would be a lot of fun in group play.
How about all end of act bosses have a guaranteed legendary drop after 30 minutes of NV5?
Edited by Renard#2549 on 3/6/2013 11:06 AM PST
I agree. The rule for ARPGs, especially Diablo, is that "big bad guys drop the big bad loot." And that doesn't necessarily mean that all you kill is the boss for drops.
Best examples are Chaos Sanctuary and Worldstone Keep runs in Diablo 2. Clearing out the Worldstone Keep levels and the Chaos Sanctuary had a high number of monsters, and each of them could drop from the highest treasure class in the game. Then, like icing on the cake, you could kill Diablo/Baal at the end for an extra shot at good loot. Lots of XP, decent drop rate, and relatively quick. Win-win. |
Couple of things here. Tavis is right in his blog that all bosses need to have a higher drop rate of better items, the idea is a simple one called risk reward, for solo and group play. I think the difficulty should be raised as well. Also the drop rate should increase with the number of players but for the group as a whole not the individual players meaning 1 person might get that GG EF while everyone else does not. I also think target items on the bosses is a good idea. To the person that thinks better drops ruins the game because of AH flooding I have an idea for you, instead of trolling the AH for hours on end you could actually go play the game because you know the heightened chance for that great drop is there, then you would not have to use the "gasp" AH. Get a diverse group of friends and plan on sharing your loot with the person it benefits most until you have all upgraded your characters then move on to the next challenge. That is the point of a game. If I wanted to buy the most OP gear I wold but I enjoy the hunt.
People. You are forgetting a huge factor why D2 was fun. Bosses and mobs all dropped items for everyone. The moment when Diablo had 1% health and you knew something will pop out of him.. the tension between fellow players.. the excitement/hope that something will be super nice... making sure your inventory wasnt full... hoping Baal wouldnt teleport somewhere random. All because you compete against your fellow players to the collective loot that can potentially be good (granted most items were total crap and you end up dropping them back down or put them into your mule). Now that D3 drops items for individual makes extra loot mute for group plays.
One idea to go along with the multiplayer aspect. Can we PLEASE have named games back. I hate joining a multiplayer game to only see one person trying to CRAWL through a place while 2 leechs sit afk and the person trying to kill stuff is just complaining. I have completely stopped playing in multiplayer unless its just with my friends. even then I cant run the mp I want unless I carry them through...just sayin
I enjoy helping other players and giving away free gear that I no longer use for those who need it more than I do. This was a great quality the D2 community had and personally believe the AH ruined that for this game. I've given away gear that i could have sold for even 50 million gold. But I'm aware that other players dont have that kind of gold and I feel its more rewarding to help them then be selfish same here, but unfortunately there are too many greedy players :( |

A7' T ORNE' YS United States Patent Ofce Patented June 3, 1969 U.S. Cl. -10.4 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A nadir elevation computer for use in association with an aircraft landmass radar simulator of the factored transparency type. The nadir elevation computer cornprises means for effecting a nadir scan from a point on the transparency corresponding to a predetermined distance behind a simulated aircraft, forward through the nadir of the aircraft to a point corresponding to a predetermined distance ahead of the aircraft, summation means for converting the scanner output to an elevation signal having voltage levels corresponding to the profile of elevation levels represented by the transparency and traversed by the scan, voltage comparator means, logic means, memory means, and digital computer means cooperative to provide by interpolation, a value for the terrain elevation below the aircraft at the time the scan passes through the point of nadir. Background of the invention Existing radar landmass simulators for night trainers comprise a special type of analog computer utilizing the black and white factored transparency technique to store reflectivity and terrain elevation data. The information is stored on the transparency by varying the density of the photographic emulsion, retrieval is achieved by using the transparency to modulate a light beam from a magnetically deflected ying spot scanner (cathode ray tube) directed into a phototube. A typical radar landmass simulator uses two transparencies, an elevation transparency which is a contour map with 29 density levels with each level representing a discrete elevation, and a reflectivity transparency with 1l density levels with each represent-V ing a discrete reflectivity coeicient. The scanning of these transparency maps simulates the scanning given a real terrain by a moving radar antenna. The scanning pattern is a pie shaped segment resulting from deflecting the beam from the location of the aircraft in the direction the antenna is pointing at that instant. Processing the information from these two transparencies yields the simulated radar display. In addition to the radar display a flight trainer requires a radio altimeter read-out which continuously displays the height of the aircraft above terrain, i.e., altitude minus nadir elevation (nadir elevation is elevation of terrain under the aircraft). Nadir elevation is inherent in the data stored on the elevation transparency, unfortunately retrieving it has proven to be a problem. The magnetic deection circuits used to deflect the flying spot scanner beam have a definite starting transient that requires a period of time before the spot stabilizes. During the transient period the spot has to be blanked out, resulting in loss of the nadir elevation data and the short range elevation data. In previous landmass simulators, nadir elevation information was derived by sampling and holding the elevation signal when the azimuth antenna was coincident with the aircrafts boresight. There are four major disadvan tages in this method. First, this technique does not account for any aircraft movement between sample times. Second, the real-world terrain is better approximated by a continuous waveform than by discrete steps as would be generated using sample-and-hold circuits. Third, there is no provision for decision-making based on knowledge of the terrain in front and behind the aircraft. Finally, the sample-and-hold technique of nadir elevation mechanization is limited in uniquely determining and assigning an absolute value to a signal that can vary, in the worst case, 22% across the lm plate transparency. This variation is due to the inability of film plate manufacturers to accurately control short light exposures on photosensitive emulsion. Summary of the invention With the foregoing in mind, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide, in a radar landmass simulator, improved means for retrieving nadir elevation data from the elevation transparency. Another object of the invention is the provision of means for deriving nadir elevation data independently of the gathering of data by the usual sweep of a transparency segment for creating the simulated radar display. As another object this invention aims to accomplish the foregoing through the provision of means for generating a separate nadir sweep, once each antenna cycle, which scans the elevation transparency from a point behind the aircraft, through the nadir to a point ahead of the aircraft to generate a series of pulses corresponding to elevation level changes, and computing therefrom an elevation function from which the nadir elevation is derived. Brief description of the drawings Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof when read in conjunction with the accompanying sheets of drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which: FIG. 1 is a block diagram functionally illustrating a nadir elevation computer embodying the present invention; FIG. 2 is a set of curves illustrating the time relation of certain signals and pulses generated in the nadir elevation computer of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a set of curves representing nine different possible cases of elevation change in a typical elevation profile; and l FIG. 4 illustrates the interpolation of one of the cases of FIG. 3 to determine nadir elevation. Description of the preferred embodiment In the form of the invention illustrated in FIG. 1 and described hereinafter, there is provided a nadir elevation computer, generally indicated at 10 and comprising an analog computer section 12 and a digital computer section 14. The analog section may be considered to include an elevation transparency scanning means 16, a nadir elevation ramp generator 18, a timing network 20, and other components or networks which will later be described more fully. The scanning means 16, which also forms part of the analog section of the landmass radar simulator in which the invention is incorporated, is normally driven in response to signals via line 22 from a pulse repetition frequency generator 24 to provide antenna simulating scan of the elevation transparency. The scanning means 16 normally comprises a ying spot scanner tube, the spot of which sweeps a pie shaped segment of the elevation transparency to simulate antenna scan and photomultiplier tube means which provides an elevation data signal which is processed together with other data signals, e.g., a reflectance data signal, to provide a radar display simulation, all as typified by the landmass radar simulators described in U.S. Patents Nos. 3,113,989 and 3,291,884. During the time that the antenna reverses direction at the end of each azimuth scan, a slow speed nadir elevation sweep is generated in the flying spot scanner tube of the scanning means 16. Thus, the timing network is responsive to end of antenna sweep signals from the scanning means 16 via line 26 and timing signals from the pulse repetition frequency generator 24 via line 28 and provides to the elevation transparency scanning means 16, via suitable conductor means indicated by flow line 30, a nadir inhibit gate signal which is used to blank the normal flying spot scanner sweep during the period when nadir elevation en is to be determined. The nadir elevation ramp generator 18, which is responsive to main gate signals from the timing network 20 via line 32, provides suitable sweep signals via line 34 to cause the flying spot scanning tube to initiate the desired independent sweep somewhat behind the aircraft and following the course thereof. After the nadir sweep is initiated and stabilized, a start pulse Ps is generated at a time when the scanner spot is at a predetermined distance, say eight miles, behind the aircraft. This start pulse Ps, which is transmitted from the timing network 20 to the digital portion 14 via line 36, is indicated in the set time based on curves illustrated in FIG. 2, and particularly on the curve (a) thereof. As the nadir sweep progresses from the time of the start pulse PS, the scanner means 16 provides on line 40 an output voltage signal, which signal assumes dilferent voltage levels as a function of time of sweep and corresponding to different gray levels or densities of emulsion representing terrain elevations e on the transparency being scanned. These voltage levels are therefore representative of the terrain elevations e represented by the elevation profile curve (b) of FIG. 2 wherein em is the third last elevation level before the level eP present at the time of nadir, em is the second last elevation level before the level ep, em is the elevation level just preceding ep, em is the next level following ep, em is the second level following eP, and so on until the period of scan is terminated by an end of scan pulse Pe as shown on curve (c) of FIG. 2. The pulse Pe is conveyed from the timing network 20 to the digital portion 14 as indicated by line 38, when the nadir sweep has moved forward of the aircraft predetermined distance, again in this example eight miles. The elevation signals via line 40 from the elevation transparency scanning means 16 are processed by summation means 42 to provide voltage signals corresponding to the elevation profile of curve (b). These signals are conveyed on lines 44 and 46 to complementary voltage comparators 48, 50, and on line 52 to a memory network 54. The latter provides terrain elevation data to the digital portion 14 via line 56, and also back to the voltage comparators 48, 50 by lines 58, 60. The complementary comparators 48, 50 each compare the changing elevation profile signals from the summation network 42 and nadir terrain elevation from the memory network 54 with a reference voltage input 62, 64. When the two elevation input signals exceed the reference voltage signal in ether comparator, the comparator changes state and produces a predetermined voltage pulse. This pulse, from either comparator, is fed via lines 66, 68, 70 to the memory network 54 to update the memory and the data supplied via line 56 to the digital computer section as the aircraft ilies along its course. The output pulses from the comparators 48, 50 are also applied via lines 66, 68, and 72 to a logic network 74 which, upon each elevation change, produces an elevation change pulse Pc conveyed on line 76 to the digital portion 14. The change pulses PC, represented on curve (d) of FIG. 2, are used as timing pulses in the computation of the nadir elevation in the digital portion as will presently be made apparent. The nadir ramp generator 18 provides a nadir scan ramp signal via line to voltage comparator circuitry 82 where the signal is compared with a zero reference voltage, indicated as an input at 84. When the nadir scan ramp signal exceeds the reference voltage, the comparator 82 changes state and provides a time of nadir pulse Pn via line 86 to the digital computer section 14. The time of nadir pulse Pn is indicated on curve (e) of FIG. 2. To determine the nadir elevation, using equations of trigonometry, it is necessary to have knowledge only of those discontinuities immediately in front of and behind the aircraft. However, referring to curve (b) of FIG. 2, it is evident that, in scanning typical terrain for several miles, there will be many elevation changes throughout the sweep. It is the purpose of the digital computer section 14 to select and direct the storage of the appropriate elevation and time words in the correct memory locations. At the beginning of a new scan, there is the associated start pulse Ps. PS is an instruction for the digital section 14 to reference all elevation and time memory locations to zero and then to read the terrain elevation analog signal, em (see curve (b), FIG. 2), and to store it in the memory location reserved in the memory network for the last elevation, em, prior to nadir, and in the location for present elevation as the present elevation, ep. As the sweep progresses, pulse PCL3 directs the transfer of elevation data em, stored at the location for eP, to location em and the newly acquired elevation em to be stored in the location ep. As the hypothetical sweep moves along the boresight of the airplane, it encounters an elevation transition from em to em. Thus is generated change pulse Pom. Pulse PCL2 directs the transfer of elevation data em, stored at location ep, to loca-tion em and the newly acquired elevation em to be stored in location ep. Change pulse PCL, is generated at the transition of the terarin profile from em to eP of FIG. 2. PCM directs the transfer of elevation data em, stored at location ep, to location em, and the newly acquired elevation eP, to be stored at ep. Now, with em stored in memory location em, and ep stored in memory location ep, the next pulse in time Pn, which is the time of nadir pulse of curve (e) in FIG. 2, is used to freeze these memory locations. A timing counter 88 is driven via line 90` from the timing circuitry 20 and provides time counts to the memory network 54 and the digital section 14 as shown by lines 92 and 94. At every change pulse prior to nadir time, the time counter 88 is reset to zero. However, when a Pn is encountered, the time is read out of the counter and stored in memory location t1, the time t1 being indicated in FIG. 2. To direct the elevations eNl, em, and am and the corresponding time words for t2, t3, and t4 into proper memory locations after nadir time, the analog elevation signal and the time counter are interrogated with each change pulse, and the results stored sequentially in memory locations em, t2; eNz, t3; etc. 'I'he terrain elevation and the time words which are now in memory must be transformed to the proper form for use as computation variables in the nadir equations. These transformations are accomplished in appropriately programmed portions of the digital computer section 14 using conventional techniques. More specifically, the elevation data words stored in memory network 54, which are a function of emulsion density on the lm plate, are converted to elevation words in units of feet. This is accomplished by storing in memory the elevation (feet) values associated with each density level for a particular contour map from which the transparency was factored. Because emulsion densities are diflicult to control in making the elevation transparencies corresponding to a contour map, the resulting signal may vary as much as 22% for a given elevation across the lilm plate transparency. Accordingly, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the section of the digital computer performing the transformation of elevation data to units of feet assigns absolute elevation values to the elevation words originally stored in memory. This original or unconditioned data is a function of film density and, as has been stated, is not constant for like elevations across the transparency. T o overcome this defect and to regain accuracy, there is stored in memory a complete table 14a of each absolute density value vand its allowable deviation. Each memorized elevation word is compared to the values stored in this table and assigned the absolute value of the density level in whichever error band it falls. The digital computer section 14 is programmed to read out the memorized time words and to convert them to distance by multiplying the time, as between change pulses, by the velocity of the nadir scan. The digital section then utilizes the elevation and distance information to mathematically solve, by a conventional interpolation routine, for the elevation at the time of nadir. In addition, the digital section performs a continuous updating between nadir scans by utilizing the time of nadir and the velocity of the aircraft being simulated to synthetically fly the aircraft across the elevation profile stored in memory. The resulting output nadir elevation function is indicated in FIG. 1 by flow line 96. The interpolation routine is based on nine possible elevation profiles which are illustrated in FIG. 3 as curves (a)-(i). These profiles are for the last elevetion em prior to the present elevation, the present elevation eP, and the next future elevation em. Taking the case of FIG. 3 (h), wherein eL1 eP eN1, it will be evident from inspection of FIG. 4 that where Dm is the distance from the last elevation change prior to nadir to the point of nadir, and Dm is the distance from the last change prior to nadir to the next change after nadir, as is shown in FIG. 4. Thus, if the elevation rep-:5,000 feet, elevation eN1=5,200 feet, DL1=one mile, and DN1=two miles, then: en=5,000+1/2 (S200-5,000) or en=5,100 feet. The equations for interpolation of en for the remaining situations shown in FIG. 3 will be evident upon inspection thereof by those skilled in the art to which :the invention pertains. The invention contemplates the addition, in the digital section 14b, of a constant elevation to the nadir elevation when a cultural target is coincident with the nadir point. What is claimed is: 1.

AROUND THE WORLD (FOX44) – Syria, an opposition group says a video, shot today from inside a school shows loyalist gunmen right outside, standing over dead men with students inside screaming in shock. Some distance from the school, Syrians appear to be running down a street, trying to flee more gunfire. The escalating violence forced the U.S. to close its embassy here.
Pakistan – A 65-year-old woman was pulled out of the rubble of a collapsed building alive, 31-hours later. The 3-story factory collapsed on Monday after a gas explosion killing 18-people. A few dozen are still missing.
Ukraine – Eight-four pounds of cocaine was found tucked inside pineapples.
Customs police made the find at a shipping port thanks to x-ray equipment. They say the drugs were from Costa Rica and are worth about seven and a half million dollars.
Mexico – Animal rights activists demonstrate against bullfighting. They want lawmakers to ban it in Mexico City. The protesters stripped down to their underwear and covered themselves in mock blood.
Germany – Traffic on the autobahn came to a crawl today after hundreds of packages of sauerkraut spilled after a truck carrying it got into an accident. The highway had to be shut down for hours because temps are freezing. The pickled cabbage froze when it hit the road and crews had to scrape it up.

I like games where you can play as a kid in a more serious matter. I'll def keep an eye on this project.
The Regulars are Marching! Are you ready to take on the Colonial occupying forces with nothing but the shadows and your toy collection to help you? www.childrenofliberty.us
Children of Liberty is a stealth-action historical adventure that follows four kids spies of the Patriots on the eve of the American Revolution. It is being built in Unity 4.3 for PC, Mac, and Linux.
0 comments by dsilvers on Jun 12th, 2014
Greetings, Patriots! We hope you are enjoying Children of Liberty and we're working hard on EX6. In the meantime, do you want to be a part of Children of Liberty? Because we want YOU to be a part of it as well!
We are in currently developing a system in the game called "The Codex," an in-game database of all the characters you meet and locations you visit throughout Children of Liberty. Part of The Codex is Stamps you will find scattered around the game world, which will be placed onto the pages of The Codex, and we want these stamps to be yours!
From now through August 31, you can submit your Children of Liberty Fanart in the Steam Community, on our Facebook, or on Twitter using the hashtag #summerOfLiberty, and our favorite pieces will get featured in our Steam, Desura, and indieDB update posts; in the community section of our website; and in the game as collectible stamps! Chosen artists will be properly credited with name and links, and names included in the in-game credits.
There are some requirements however:
We may or may not use your image but those are the only technical and subject matter limitations. We want to see sketches, paintings, digital work, clay, photographs… whatever you can come up with! The sky's the limit here. The art may be of the kids, the Patriots, the Redcoats... anything related to Children of Liberty! Don't be afraid to be imaginative about the locations too. If you need a reminder about the kid's looks, you can visit our presskit() which has high rez artwork of the characters: Lantanagames.com
Remember, you can submit pieces any time before August 31. We'll be rolling out our favorites week by week. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

I like games where you can play as a kid in a more serious matter. I'll def keep an eye on this project.
Thanks! We're really excited about where it's heading and yeah, that whole young protagonist aspect has made for some really neat challenges in terms of narrative and gameplay.
Are you planning on ever putting out an update here?
Soon! We're crunching like crazy but don't want to put out anything broken or what could be perceived as a "downdate."
0.4.2 very soon! Stay tuned for our upcoming BostonFIG update.
I heard about this game somewhere, I guess I'll have to check it out.
The version available on Desura does not need Unity to play. It is a standalone executable for both PC and Mac.
Only the demo on our website needs the Unity Web Player to play.

LAN and TAM Airlines Merge to Form LATAM Airlines Group
Chile's LAN Airlines merged with TAM Airlines of Brazil on Friday, forming LATAM Airlines Group S.A., the largest airline in Latin America and one of the largest in the world, in terms of network connections. LATAM Airlines Group is based in Santiago, Chile, with secondary offices in San Paulo, Brazil.
The merger of these two behemoths of Latin American air travel has been in the works since August 2010. LATAM Airlines Group now includes LAN Airlines and affiliates in Peru, Argentina, Colombia, and Ecuador; LAN Cargo; TAM S.A. and subsidiaries TAM Linhas Aereas S.A., TAM Transportes Aereos del Mercosur S.A., TAM Airlines of Paraguay, and Multiplus S.A.
LATAM Airlines will provide the most comprehensive network of connections and destinations in South America, initially reaching about 150 destinations in 22 countries—including the US—with a fleet of 310 aircraft and more than 51,000 employees. LATAM cargo business will be even bigger, starting with 169 destinations in 27 countries.
Starting tomorrow, June 27, members of the frequent flyer programs for LAN and TAM airlines, LANPASS and TAM Fidelidade, can earn and redeem kilometers/points for flights on both airlines. LANPASS and TAM Fidelidade members at senior-level elite status (LANPASS Comodoro and Premium Silver and TAM Fidelidade Black and Red) will enjoy access, for themselves and a companion, to VIP lounges throughout the world, preferential check-in and boarding, and priority baggage. LAN Airlines currently offers elite members access to oneworld lounges and TAM is among the 27 airlines of the Star Alliance.
"The creation of this group of airlines is an opportunity to take South America to the world and to allow us to position ourselves to operate in an increasingly competitive environment due to the continuing consolidation of the global airline industry," said Enrique Cueto, the new CEO of LATAM Airlines Group.
For the short term, flights on LAN and TAM will continue to operate under their respective brands. According to a statement issued by the company, "passengers of LAN and TAM will benefit over time from greater connectivity, improved routes and frequencies, and reduced connection times."
Founded in 1976 and headquartered in San Paulo, Brazil, TAM is the largest airline in Brazil and Latin America while the Chile-based LAN, founded in Santiago in 1929 as Línea Aeropostal Santiago-Arica, is the most established. LATAM expects to triple its revenue in the next four years, producing between $600 and $700 million by 2016.
"The growth LATAM Airlines Group is expected to generate will allow us to offer flights to new destinations for our customers," said Mauricio Rolim Amaro, chairman of LATAM Airlines Group in an official statement. "In addition, we can support the economic, social and cultural development of our region, improving the connectivity of passengers and cargo in South America and the rest of the world."
All of these expectations remain to be seen, of course. "This is the beginning of a long journey," Enrique Cueto said. "The benefits to our customers will be added gradually as the integration of our companies progresses."

Whether you owe your golden locks to genetics or your hair stylist, this French brand's targeted hair rinse is the answer to your prayers. Designed to bring out blonde highlights and prevent your color from turning brassy, it gets rid of product residue and oily debris without stripping your locks (dyed or otherwise). The secret to this hydrating treatment is chamomile—it boosts color and perks up tired strands.
Generally when you are looking for a clarifying product, you are looking for one to help remove the buildup of shampoo and hair products. This product definitely definitely does not do that. It is a vinegar-esq rinse that you put on after you have shampooed and conditioned. It has a fucky smell when you put it on but I didn't really notice it as I styled and thoughout my day. I've given it several goes and I did notice that my hair was a little more blonde looking, however it was not the clarifying product that i was looking for.
3When I and my two towheaded sisters were still all under the age of 5, we lay on the kitchen counter with our locks draped into the sink while our mom washed and rinsed. The treatment was ended with a generous dose of vinegar and a shocking splash of cold water. Looking back at photos, we had amazingly shiny hair, but what doesn't show is that we also smelled like salad dressing. This Klorane product gives the same glossy effect, and though the odor is quite a bit less offensive than straight vinegar, I've still found myself in a pickle trying to mask it.
4this is one of those products its really hard to tell if its actually working. I feel like it is...I've been using it for over a month now, using it once to twice a week post shampoo and my highlights look really great still. I plan to keep using it to see longterm results, but I think this is really helping keep brassiness at bay.

I think this is like a small form of acne but on my arms. It's not really noticable, like I can still wear a normal t-shirt during the summer but Id still want to clear it up. My aunt gave me a cream called "Concha Nacar" (in Spanish; oyster shell), which they sell at the Flea Market (not sure if thats the only place they sell it, its just where my mom and I went to buy more). There's 3 of them; a day cream, night cream and a bleach cream. The day cream you can also use as a primer/base for makeup, and the bleach is the one that gets rid of the marks left after picking your skin and spots/blemishes. So if you're thinking of using this one, use all 3 of them. I still kinda have it but it seems to be working. My aunt's sister actually had the same thing I have and it worked for her, and hopefully me and anybody else
Oh another thing, the package is in both Spanish and English. When you open it, it also comes with a piece of paper that says which cream does what but only in Spanish.

Pure Foods nets P1.8 B in first half
popular .
MANILA—San Miguel Corp.'s food production unit, San Miguel Pure Foods Co., grew its first semester net profit by 6 percent year-on-year to P1.8 billion as the company sold higher volumes at better prices.
Operating income rose by 31 percent to P2.4 billion in the first six months of the year on the back of a 4-percent increase in consolidated revenues to P47.1 billion.
In a press statement, Pure Foods said combined revenues for its feeds, poultry and meats and flour businesses were 4 percent higher compared to the same period last year. Revenues from the feeds business also improved as the game fowl and aquatic segments posted double-digit growth.
The company also announced that its poultry and meats business had generated better margins and grew revenues by 5 percent in the first semester. Revenues from the flour business, on the other hand, increased by 1 percent.
Meanwhile, its branded and higher-value added businesses grew revenues by 9 percent as all categories posted volume and revenue growth, driven by strong sales of core brands such as Purefoods, Tender Juicy, Star, Magnolia and San Mig Coffee.
"The company also continued to improve its business structure to further accelerate growth in the branded value-added segment. This integration is seen to harness synergies, provide strategic focus, improve operational efficiencies, and deliver better results," the company said.
Purefoods added that had initiated measures to mitigate the impact of currency movements to its costs.
The company expressed confidence that the measures put in place in the first half of this year would help sustain the gains it has achieved for the rest of the year.

MONTERREY, Mexico – Mexican gunmen have kidnapped a U.S. security consultant who negotiated the release of dozens of kidnap victims in Latin America.
Gunmen abducted Felix Batista outside a restaurant last Wednesday in the relatively safe northern industrial city of Saltillo in Coahuila state, Mexican authorities and his employer, security consultancy ASI Global, said on Monday.
Batista, a Miami-based Cuban American credited with negotiating the release of victims abducted by Colombian rebels, was snatched after he stepped outside the restaurant, answering a call on his cellular phone, Mexican media said.
The U.S. embassy in Mexico City said it was investigating and declined to comment further.
"He may have been targeted by organized crime in an attempt to show their power. Saltillo is not a kidnapping hot spot," said a source at Coahuila state attorney general's office.
Batista's employer, Houston-based ASI Global, denied Mexican media reports that he was a former FBI agent and said he was on a private trip in Coahuila state near Texas, giving seminars on security.
"We have requested help from the FBI and the Mexican authorities," said ASI Global's President Charlie LeBlanc.
Hundreds of people are kidnapped in Mexico every year and the number of victims has increased sharply as drug gangs, under pressure from President Felipe Calderon's army-backed crackdown, seek new revenues to fund their operations.
Coahuila lawmakers last week sent a bill to Mexico's Congress to change the constitution to allow the death penalty for kidnappers who kill their captives.
More than 5,300 people have been killed in drug violence across Mexico this year as cartels fight each other over smuggling routes to the United States and clash with Mexican security forces seeking to restore security.

Balanced optical phase diversity receivers for coherence multiplexing
Meijerink, Arjan and Heideman, Geert H.L.M and Etten, Wim van (2004) Balanced optical phase diversity receivers for coherence multiplexing. Journal of Lightwave Technology, 22 (11). pp. 2393-2408. ISSN 0733-8724
573kB |
Abstract: | Coherence multiplexing (CM) is a specific form of CDMA that is particularly suitable for optical communication systems for medium data rates and small distances. By virtue of its potentially simple implementation, it is particularly useful for "bridging the last mile" to the subscribers, which is an issue that is receiving considerable attention in optical communication research nowadays. The receivers in coherence multiplex systems published so far were all based on either self-homodyne or self-heterodyne detection. Both solutions are rather complicated, and therefore, expensive. In this paper, a new CM receiver concept is proposed, based on optical phase diversity detection. Theoretical performance results are derived for several modulation formats and receiver structures. |

I know this is the wrong thread for this but I cant find info or help anywhere else. Getting apps2sd to work on the stock gb 2.3.3 stable rom...... if kernel supports ext partition, it should work.........but when I install the last non beta of darktremors apps2sd, i run command a2sd check in terminal... it says ext partition found but not mounted.....I'm pretty sure I can manually mount it......but I don't want to have to manually mount everytime I reboot..... any help is greatly appreciated..... or if someone can point me to the correct forum, probably the one for the rom which I already requested help in.... after all my favorite apps, only the ones I consider "needed", I only have 100mb about of free space and still some more space consuming apps I would like to isntall... so apps2sd would be awesome....
That isn't what I'm talking about. That just moves apps to a secure folder called .androidsecure on the fat32 partition of the sdcard. So when you mount the sdcard to use on the comptuer with USB cable, your apps on sd are not accessible. As far as I can tell, that app does what you can already do in system application settings without the app. I am talking about apps and/or cache on an ext partition on the sdcard. Better, more reliable, and when you mount storage card for use with usb cable your apps on the sd are still accessible. But I have found no info on doing this on the droid except for one rom which was a sense/junk rom.
wrong scaling while charging I'm using the v3 1000 SV kernel and the cpu isn't scaling down to my minimum (250mhz) while it is charging from an adapter, it does however when charging from a PC.. I'm using setcpu to manage the freqs, but have no profiles configured. Even if I set a profile for charging from AC it still doesn't drop below 800mhz. It does the same thing with the v2 kernels. This is making for a very hot phone sitting in my car dock & charging. Any ideas?
When charging from an AC or car adapter, the phone defaults to a minimum clock speed of whatever is in the third slot. This does not happen when charging from a computer's USB. If the third slot is 800MHz, like Pete's 1.0GHz kernel, then it will never clock lower while plugged in. It's rather annoying, but that's the way it has been for every kernel since day one and there is nothing you can do about it. This is the main reason I use Prime's kernel as I can set a rather low third slot to keep my phone from bursting into flames on my dashboard.
There's tons of info on multitudes of forums for the OG Droid. Check out "dual mount sd" on the market as well. As for a2sdext ill make it easier for ya here: http://bit.ly/lc1cAd Read the full OP before trying anything. Edit: What did you use to create the ext? Sent from my Droid
Great kernels here. I can't believe we are still getting new kernels for the Droid 1, here I am considering getting a Droid 3 in a few weeks. I'm using the 1 GHz standard voltage with interactive governor. I normally use low voltage, but as per Pete's instructions the standard voltage does seem to run very fast, especially in the browser (this is in comparison to 0.2 kernel though, 1 GHz in low voltage). My Droid has never been this fast! Pete, I wrote a while back about excessive memory usage for a game I was developing, and how your early Gingerbread builds would allow my game to run fine. Well I found out what I was doing wrong shortly after that (forgot bitmap.remove() for all my textures) so now everything is working well. The game is Sean McNulty Skateboarding, it's on the market so try it out. It was developed using your roms for testing!
I'm as well having issues with getting link2sd to create a mount script so I can access all of the apps I have on the sd partition (ext3). I installed the kernel and ran the app, it then will usually create the mount script however each time I try to mount the partition in the app it says "mount script cannot be created". I am a big fan of Peter's kernels and I am in need of something with a touch higher voltage to help get rid of the sluggishness my droid has acquired. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Zach
I'd suggest finding a thread related to your topic, and a kernel that supports ext3 filesystems. i.e. chevyno1 kernels. The problem with the script is that you dont have an ext3 module to load, and chances are, if your not on an ss or a CM rom than its just not supported.(Hint:there has to be an sd-ext directory in your root folder) Apps on sdcard isnt all that special. It wears your sdcard out faster and youll have problems with apps appearing and reappearing and data being wiped on each boot. 60% of my internal storage is more than enough apps to have installed at anyone time and anything else will cause performance issues. Better to use titanium backup and install/uninstall apps as needed. If you guys are serious about doing this than check out firerats all in one patch in the link i posted above, install CM7 or ss5.X and a chevyno1 kernel and you should have no problems, but if you do, hit me up on twitter @mr_silentXIII And find the right place to post your problems. These issues have been addressed thoroughly in the past and on many forums. I need not post any links, use google and search all those keywords you guys are using in your posts.dancedroid
v1 wifi tether broke v2 wifi tether fixed v3 wifi tether broke v1 on demand fastest v3 interactive pretty fast. v2 both - laggs 1000 LV
My kernels provide ext4 support, so format your sdcard for ext4 and it should work. And btw I do not recommend running apps of the sdcard, the read write speeds are crap.
v3 - tether works and both demand and interactive gov are fast. using SV kernels though, not LV. i find that the LV ones do lag after a while. its weird because i use to use Chevy's ULV kernels and i never had any lag issues.
Chevy does not post his source so there is no way to tell what his values are set to, my LV values may be lower than his ULV values, who knows.
