(AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his lawyers hired four private investigation firms to dig up "dirt" on former NBA commissioner David Stern, current commissioner Adam Silver and the league's 29 other owners, reports the Associated Press.The investigators were given a six-figure budget to look into the league's finances, find allegations of previous discriminatory conduct, and compensation to Stern and Silver, according to the report."The gloves are off, as they say," according to a person who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "Have them dig up all the dirt they can find."Sterling is suing the NBA for $1 billion after the league fined him $2.5 million and banned him for life over him making recorded racist remarks that were later leaked publicly.He says the league violated his constitutional rights, committed a breach of contract, and violated antitrust laws by trying to strip the Clippers' ownership from him and force the sell of the team.Sterling's attorneys will also face off with his wife, Shelly Sterling, during a four-day hearing in probate court scheduled to start July 7. The hearing will focus on whether Shelly Sterling had the right to broker a $2 billion deal to sell the team to former Microsoft executive Steve Ballmer.More from the AP:The person who spoke to the AP said Donald Sterling reluctantly agreed to hire private investigators after this week's legal proceedings in probate court. The NBA submitted a legal filing Wednesday urging a judge to confirm Shelly Sterling's authority to sell the team."He realized these guys will literally go to any low to get this sold," the person said. "Even if it gets (him) nothing other than exposing all these guys and shaking up the league and seeing a change in the leadership of the league, it'll be worth it to him."McCANN: With Clippers sale off, a look at legal strategies for Sterling, NBA Promoted Stories Comments

It's been a bit quiet here with us just providing Prompts and the Inspiration Project, especially after the 52 Week Six Word Story project we had last year, so we are thinking of launching a new weekly project... with a few additional perks!
This time round, we are going to post something to spark those creative minds, be it a deviation, a quote, a song, or something else completely, and your purpose is to write a six word story. Perhaps the piece will provoke thought, inspire you, or evoke a particular response out of you. Whatever you write, it must be six words only (or rather, original guidelines apply) and you can write whatever you like as long as it is a response to the material we post.
Some Guidelines:
Please post all six word stories here, in this blog.
Only one six word story, per person, should be posted.
We may feature these in an article, and we will definitely reward the best stories with a few
Last week, six word stories were based on this:
There were many, many fantastic stories, but the one we will place is written by Operia:
One puff; our society blows down
Some other awesome stories were:
wesoly-romek's "Cigarette's end burning away. Your life..."
sii-kei's ""Humans burnt our universe!" cried microorganisms."
AngerIssues1234's "Actions of one are killing thousands."
This week, we would like you to write a six word story based on this:
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask us here! Additionally, if you have any suggestions for future material that we can use, send us a note!
Now post those stories here and let's see what you've come up with!

I need an answer: is there any good reason for me to spend my real money to get gold unless I want hundreds different outfits quickly? |

Originally posted by grindery +1 I remember back in Vanilla WoW when only the very best players had epic items, I can log into WoW now and within an hour have enough Justice or Honor points to get an epic item. Instant gratification and an even playing field for all players does not make an MMO better. In fact, it has proven to ruin most communities (look at WoW) |
Originally posted by korent1991 If what you just said is correct then the PvP spells and items you said were in GW1 would be the standard definition of pay to win |

Right, back to the intellectual side of things. Where has WoW brought in instant gratification, and how has it 'ruined the community' compared to before? |
Originally posted by Creslin321 Snipped for brevity... first point, no, you can't. You can buy all the gems you want, but they don't make you rich... they only give you access to items in the shop. You can trade the gems for gold, yes, but only gold players are willing to trade to you gor the gems to get access to the shop. You can, literally, have 10K gems and not enough gold to buy anything. Gems don't make you rich, they serve to redistribute gold from people with lots of gold that desire gems for the shop to people without lots of gold that desire the gold for ingame purchases. Second point... what cheats? There's nothing in the shop that's a cheat. Even if there are experience scrolls, for example, that's standard GW1 type stuff and, with the flat levelling curve and power plateau in GW2 hardly worth purchasing. |
Originally posted by RefMinor Your post clearly shows you know nothing. You only unlocked spells that everyone could get by playing some days. It was a shorcut. You could have all the spells and i could have only 8 and it would make no difference You could only use 8 at a time. The only thing they did was create versatility for the player. You could get all the skills and it wouldnt matter. If you suck at the game or if im better than you at the game i can own you completely with my 8 skills that work together better than yours. |
The argument that 'reasonable amount of effort and skill' equates to 'no effort or skill' is a fallacious one. I used singleplayer games as an example. You can burn through a singleplayer game in eight hours, but that doesn't mean that it didn't require skill to do it (and a hell of a lot more skill than the vast majority of MMOs in many singleplayer games, too, as we all should know). My argument was for reasonable content length akin to singleplayer games, rather than the padded stuff that takes hours to complete. Wasting 10 hours of your life in WoW or sit in a city and get everything for free was never the argument. That's intellectually dishonest and it shows an insidious, nasty, calculating mind at work to pervert it into being that. And those responsible for perpetrating this faux argument know it. Do you know what that's called? It's a straw-man. You may want to look it up, but it's where you take an argument of your own creation, and substitute the original argument with it. But my argument was in the OP. How does my original argument equate to wanting to sit around cities whilst being given everything for free? It doesn't. It's nowhere to be found. That's why it's a straw-man. I want MMORPGs to play like singleplayer games, where you can sit down and complete a mission in a reasonable amount of time. A piece of content in Mass Effect 3 or Skyrim takes... what, 20 minutes? That sounds reasonable. It means that you can have an hour with a game, because your time is limited, complete a few missions, and feel like you've actually done something. The subscription method is that in that hour, you've gained maybe 2% of an experience bar, and you're sitting there, looking at the screen and the rest of the experience bar as it pours off into infinity. And you get this soul-crushing feeling as you wonder just how much more you'll have to grind before you hit your goal. Furthermore, my argument has never been against goal-oriented gameplay. Again, that's just a straw-man picked upon by the unobservant. That wasn't my argument. (I never equated goal-oriented play with being 'hardcore,' rather determined straw-man builders did that.) Once again I direct you to the OP to have a read, because we've got some fairly insidious people here who're trying to subvert this debate to their own ends by filtering in arguments that didn't exist. I dislike that. Come out of the shadows and debate with the rest of us, stop being a coward and creating faux points that existed prior nowhere else other than your own mind. Finally. My point regarding gems is that let's say there's some gear you want but you don't have the time to get it. You're playing the game like everyone else, you're at level 73, and you've done all the stuff, but you can't afford the time to sit down and play through a dungeon. So you buy some gems and trade them in for that armour set you want. That's instant gratification, yes, but I don't see how that ruins the game. The stats are exactly the same, and the only thing that changes is the cosmetic appearance. Remember that there isn't just one power plateau in GW2, there are many. You'll get sets which will last for the next amount of content before you need the next set, right up until you get the final set. So if you're on a level 70 set, then anyone else on a level 70 set, via dynamic events, or crafting, or PvP, or dungeons, or whatever is going to have the same stats as you. So the only thing you're doing is rewarding yourself with a nice new look for your armour after a hard day's work. So you can feel a little better about your character when you head into a dynamic event, next. I don't see what's so evil about that. Now then, let's deal with true arguments. Not straw-men. |
The OP and many here don't seem to understand the concept of how the more "hardcore" oriented gamers are entertained, and what really is the carrot on current MMOs. You seem to ridicule the raider mentality, but you don't seem to fully understand why it exists. You see, it's the sense of progression what entertains people. And that sense of progression cannot be "felt" if you do not invest work in it. It's the same idea behind why, say, a poor child who really wants a soccer ball spends many weekends working on lawns to save up and buy it, and when it gets it he feels way better about it than a spoiled rich kid who gets a new gameboy for Christmas alongside many other gifts. The latter will use it for a while, but once the novelty passes that gameboy will be left gathering dust. How human psycology works is that if you work for something, even if the work itself isn't "fun", and you achieve it you will feel good about it. And that something, for raiders, is progression itself. It's not a new sword, it's not bigger numbers, but the sense of "progressing" through, the sense of "advancement" is what entertains them. This is a concept as old as RPGs themselves, ever since leveling was implemented. If you don't give players a sense of progressing they won't feel any "depth" in the game, and thus loose interest sooner. |
@MwynForever Damn fine post. Just because you can buy something, that doesn't mean you can also automatically buy all the experience with which to use it. Logical. Well thought out. Accurate. |
Originally posted by Volkon Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |
@Neverdyne You're equating an RL activity (saving for a soccer ball) to a game. A game is not RL. A game is not work. This is where the argument falls apart for me. In my opinion, if you want to work then why not get a job? A game is something you play to enjoy some leisure time. And the progression comes from the story and your personal enjoyment of the game. |
Originally posted by Dream_Chaser I haven't been following MMOs of late, so I won't address GW2 or any specifics of the game. I merely want to touch on the part of your post I highlighted. MMORPG Stans for "Massively MULTIPLAYER Online Role Playing Game". It is not supposed to be anything like a single player game. Not at all. You seem to want a MSORPG. |
@PaybackXero Playing semantics. Irrelevant. Argument I made applies to singleplayer, co-op, and MMORPGs. There is content in Champions Online and Guild Wars that can be completed fast. The amount of players involved is not mutually inclusive of the amount of grind involved. These two elements have nothing to do with each other. |
Great post, and I agree 100%. Even though I am usually very vocal about games on this site, I've been quiet about GW2. The reason is that most of the discussions taking place have to do with the simple fact that people are trying to understand GW2 in context with prior games. They don't get that this is a completely new animal here. The other thing I am noticing is that this may be the first themepark game that builds community similar to a full-on sandbox. Not exactly the same, but in the sense of what you said in your post. There is no rush to the end. There is no reason to feel like you need to level up faster than the other guy. Not even for PvP really, since you can jump right in from your first day. This game could turn out to be a return to much more social MMO games, especially if ANet invests some effort into social features, lite-RP, and later on an interesting an innovative player housing system. I'll tell you this. I love PvP in concept. I came from and still play competetive FPS games, so it's a natural fit for me. The thing is that in most themepark MMO games, PvP sucked for me. One of my favorite FPS modes is Capture the Flag. This is a game where your team absolutely works together, and uses strategy to win. Your gear doesn't matter, it's how you planned and executed. THAT was fun, and the only excuse you had for losing was that you weren't good enough. It wasn't because your gear sucked because you don't play the game 80 hours per week. It's because you failed in your planning and/or execution. THIS is why I am excited for PvP in GW2. I know the gear won't be completely even, but if I'm understanding it correctly, your gameplay skill and teamwork is much more important than your gear, and that hasn't been the case for casual player in any other modern MMO. I never cared about end-game because I saw the treadmill it was, and because I didn't have the time to invest in it. People need to get their minds around this. Guild Wars 2 is something new. It will be familiar enough, and it won't take long to adjust, but if you are trying to understand it in terms of other modern MMO models, you're wrong. A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come. |

The gem system undermines the players who actually play the game and invest time in the game. As opposed to players who play the game considerbly less. I'm not saying that casual players should be restricted on what they receieve. Your arguement with single player games is really the straw man arguement here, as it has nothing to do with MMO's. Single player games are designed with a shelf life. They have an end and you can only accomplish so much. Short play time is specifically indoctrined into the single player mentality. An MMO is designed to be a constant, ever evolving game WORLD. Emphasis on the world part; it is entirely ill logical to think that a gamer who plays one hour a day progresses at the same speed as someone who plays four hours a day. The gem system undermines this basic design philosophy. I whole heartedly believe that whoever spends more time in a game than I do should have more things that I do. They should advance through content faster than I do, they should get acess to better gear before I do. The casual generation believes that the raider mentality is that of someone wtih no life. As a casual player, the last raid I did required a playtime of 40 mins. With your examples, that is the same play time as one of the longer, more in depth dungeons in skyrim. Your views on raids and raider mentality is entirely wrong and unjustified. A raider should have access to specific tiers of gear or power than a casual player who doesn't partake in those activities, you're saying that they should. Why should those who play a game considerably less receieve the same amount of power in the game? |
Originally posted by Volkon It doesn't really bother me that some dude gets to level 80 faster...that never really bothers me. What bothers me is the general principle of monetizing cheats. It's...I don't know, unsportsmanlike? It just rubs me the wrong way. I feel like it compromises the integrity of the game. Also...if you can always craft the best items for your level, then that means you can always buy the best items for your level, because if they are crafted, they will be on the AH ;). Heck, I may wind up being wrong about this. Maybe the whole RMT thing will increase the demand for crafted items and make crafting more fun. We'll see. I'm just concerned for now. Buying virtual goods for real money has never been something I've been a fan of. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |
Originally posted by RefMinor Considering the rarity you're ever in a 1v1 situation in GW that's an odd thing to base anything off of, but even that's not true. You can buy the skill pack, yes. You can only use skills from your primary and secondary professions. You can create builds that effectively gimp yourself, a negative synergy if you will. If two "tools" are having at it 1v1... well, no matter how much one spent, (I was going to say no one wins... but) they both ultimately win as they gain experience and skill needed to be successful in GW1. The guy who didn't buy will be using his Balthazaar faction he's earning to learn more skills, most likely targetting ones that he feels will be useful in fixing his build. In a sense, he'll ultimately wind up winning due to not paying. |

This doesn't make sense... "Correlation does not mean causation" is a theme taught to me by my statistics teacher in highschool. It is equally likely that the team that loses are more likely to verbally abuse their teammates Hence this is misleading Edit: reworded the post to be more "correct"
Except, that it's partially true. Have you ever had a team mate, that when someone on your team, makes a mistake, and they then spend 5 minutes giving a in game chat lecture on how that mistake ruined the game, and instead of playing trying to win, they sit for 5 minutes ranting? Yeah, those are the people that lose games for raging at something insignificant.
Right. So if someone were to never insult anyone would they automatically gain 16% win rate? Noooo.
You're correct, correlation doesn't mean causation. However you can make educated guesses. The info seems to support the idea that non-ragers win more games.The sample size is also enormous so that helps support the info. So no, it's not perfect science - it's still pretty strong though. PS: Anecdotal evidence of this effect is everywhere though.
That's why you abuse the OTHER team instead ! D'uh ! THAT must be what this is trying to tell you !

Well there is a profanity filter, and many people choose to turn it off because they curse themselves. If you ignore you're entire team at the beginning of the match, you are never cursed at. So if you prevent being verbally abused, will your win rate increase by a certain %?

Approximately 800 Bay Area students, some hoping to find out if they have what it takes to forge a career as an artist or creative professional and others simply looking to pursue higher education through the arts, will attend National Portfolio Day in San Francisco on Saturday, January 19, 2008. Hosted this year by CCA, National Portfolio Day gives high school and transfer students the opportunity to have their portfolios reviewed by representatives from more than 40 art colleges from across the nation and to gather information about the schools.

The tumor suppressor p53 protein is tightly regulated by a ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation mechanism. Several E3 ubiquitin ligases, including MDM2 (mouse double minute 2), have been reported to play an essential role in the regulation of p53 stability. However, it remains unclear how the activity of these E3 ligases is regulated. Here, we show that the HECT-type E3 ligase Smurf1/2 (Smad ubiquitylation regulatory factor 1/2) promotes p53 degradation by enhancing the activity of the E3 ligase MDM2. We provide evidence that the role of Smurf1/2 on the p53 stability is not dependent on the E3 activity of Smurf1/2 but rather is dependent on the activity of MDM2. We find that Smurf1/2 stabilizes MDM2 by enhancing the heterodimerization of MDM2 with MDMX, during which Smurf1/2 interacts with MDM2 and MDMX. We finally provide evidence that Smurf1/2 regulates apoptosis through p53. To our knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate that Smurf1/2 functions as a factor to stabilize MDM2 protein rather than as a direct E3 ligase in regulation of p53 degradation.

The unfolding disaster has dramatically reduced support for offshore drilling among Democrats and independents. It dropped by 13 percent since February. Yet, over the same time period, Republican support for drilling has remained strong (76 percent in May, compared with 74 percent in February). Overall, 54 percent of Americans still support more offshore drilling, but that's significantly less than the 63 percent that approved of it in February. There is now a large and growing divergence between Republicans and other Americans.

We still don't know what caused the blowout and explosion, but the Wall Street Journal is running a story suggesting the cause may have been related to the process Halliburton used for sealing the holes and gaps created during the drilling process.

Google Inc., Facebook Inc. and other Internet companies expressing outrage over the National Security Agency intercepting their users' data pioneered mining information about customers, sometimes without their knowledge.
Facebook Inc. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg is to meet today with a commissioner of a U.S. agency asked to probe whether the social network is violating a settlement over its privacy practices.
Facebook Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and other companies planning to use facial-recognition scans for security or tailored sales pitches will help write rules for how images and online profiles can be used.
Facebook Inc.'s Instagram policy changes, announced yesterday, may let advertisers use teenagers' photos for marketing, raising privacy and security concerns, said Jeffrey Chester, executive director for the Center for Digital Democracy.
Google Inc., owner of the world's most popular search engine, is nearing an agreement to pay $22.5 million to settle a U.S. Federal Trade Commission probe over claims it violated user privacy on Apple Inc.'s Internet browser, a person with knowledge of the matter said.
Online companies may face action by Congress to toughen U.S. privacy standards if they don't do a better job of protecting the privacy of mobile device users, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Jon Leibowitz said today.
The Obama administration's proposal to protect consumers from online data-mining abuse by companies failed to include timelines for action and was met by some industry opposition, two factors that may derail the effort.
Facebook Inc.'s policy changes to its Instagram photo-sharing site has drawn criticism from consumers, photographers and privacy advocates who said the update forces them to cede control over content.
Yahoo! Inc., AOL Inc. and other companies dependent on Internet ad revenue are fighting Web- browser makers, including Microsoft Corp., over how to let consumers avoid being tracked online.
"The administration should be praised for raising critical questions and making this issue more public, but at the end of the day there does not seem to be any real serious action plan that would protect American's privacy from big data."

Merry Pease's wound, according to Whittaker, was life-threatening, not an alibi wound. "She spent two weeks in intensive care on a respirator at the University of Virginia hospital. Merry Pease no more shot her husband than I did," Whittaker says, shaking his head disdainfully. "So I agreed to take the case."
Wise, Virginia, is a small coal-mining town in the southwestern part of the state, home to only a few thousand people. Merry lived there in a trailer with her husband Dennis and her two young children from a previous marriage. Dennis was an engineer in charge of a shift at the local coal mine.
"The husband had been complaining to his buddies at work about problems with his marriage," Whittaker recounts. "He'd get off from work and be home around 8:00 a.m, and he'd sit around and start drinking. One day he tried to suffocate Merry with a pillow, but she fought him off. She could do so because she was about five feet eight and 160 pounds, just about his size. But she didn't bring charges. You don't do that in a little community like Wise. Her attitude was he just got a little carried away.
"Then one day he told his closest buddy at work, 'Things have come to a head -- today's the day.' He went home and began drinking. Around noon Merry saw him in the driveway, working on the car with the hood up. Then early in the afternoon he tries the pillow game on her again, and this time he's pretty serious because the pillow's ripped up and feathers go everywhere."
Merry was able to get away from her husband, who retreated to the bedroom and shut the door. "Sometime later she goes out to pick up the kids from school," Whittaker continues. "She tries and tries, but the car won't start, and she remembers that she saw her husband fiddling with it earlier. He's immobilized her. Later, it turns out, he also pulled the wire out of the phone.
"She went into the trailer and said to her husband, 'Dennis, the car won't start. I have to go get the kids now.' After that her recollection of the events that followed became murky and confused. But it's always difficult to try to remember things in the heat of emotion."
As Whittaker reviewed the evidence, he was able to reconstruct the events that took place in the trailer: Dennis opened the bedroom door and Merry saw a .357 Magnum swinging toward her. "She instinctively grabbed the barrel as he shot her," he says. "I don't think she ever let go of the gun. She was able to push it down a few inches to miss the heart, and that probably saved her life. She was his size, a strong woman. Her heart was pumping, and he was drunk. They struggled from the bedroom across the kitchen to the living-room entrance."
Merry then ran out of the trailer, according to Whittaker, and down to the roadway to try to flag down passing vehicles. Nobody would stop. "She ran over to the trailer home of her neighbors. She was screaming, 'My husband shot me! My husband shot me!'
"By this time she was a real mess, with blood and gunpowder all over herself," Whittaker goes on. "The neighbors gave her a rag and she wiped her face and hands. At this point one neighbor noticed that she had a dark smudge on the heel of her right hand. Merry tried to wipe it off with a wet rag but it wouldn't come off. It was a burn, and she got it because the heel of her hand was against the cylinder of the gun when the shot was fired."
Whittaker believes her husband was watching her from the bedroom window. "He gets mad standing there and rips the curtains and venetian blinds out of the window and throws them across the bed. He then walks into the kitchen and shoots himself near his right nipple. The bullet goes between the ribs, hits a lung, and exits out his back."
But Dennis didn't die then, Whittaker maintains. He wandered through the house, dripping blood, and finally entered the living room, where he shot himself again, this time through the heart, fracturing a rib in the process. He bled to death on the floor, says the criminalist. But the prosecutor charged that Merry had shot her husband first in the bed -- even though there was no bullet hole in the bed, and no blood on the bed. He also charged that Merry shot her husband a second time in the living room, killing him.
Whittaker testified that the extensive trail of blood drops and spatters, along with 144 death-scene photographs and two videotapes re-creating the events, conclusively proved that Dennis shot and tried to kill his wife, who deflected the shot with her hand. The prosecution's theory made no sense, he argued.
But for Merry Pease, things went from bad to worse. A jury found her guilty of second-degree murder and she was sent to the county jail to await sentencing. For eleven months she languished in a cell, waiting for J. Robert Stump, the judge in the case, to summon her back to court.

Ravens Texans
Come on Texans great throw by yates.. they need a score
I dont want to jinx the Texans but where has Nagta been?? he has done very little this year compared to years past.. did he get his pay day and shut it down?? I hope so I hate the guy but man he is usually all over the field.. I aint seen him do shit the games Ive watch them this year |
Re: Ravens Texans
Shit... that was kind of dumb anyway.. 50 yarder against a team you have been shutting down.. pin them deep 3 n out and get the ball back.. Shit.. Gary K.. must be hanging out with Tomlin.. he may have just blew the damn game with that call
Re: Ravens Texans
A missed FG, and VERY EARLY turnovers that resulted into 14 Baltimore points will probably come back to haunt Houston. Baltimore isn't impressive AT ALL and Flacco wonders why he doesn't get brownie points. He's terrible.
Re: Ravens Texans
Re: Ravens Texans
Flacco only knows how to play against us. I just don't get it, before this year he wasn't that great against us, but all at once he learned how to play 2 games a year well. I don't think they stand much of a chance against the Pats. The Pats D continues to get better and the ratbirds won't shut down Brady. I still don't see how the Texans got this far, I think if we were playing our best ball when we played them, and Peyton Manning doesn't get hurt, they would miss the playoffs. Foster is a great running back, I just don't see there defense being that great.

Chrysler Town & Country EV(concept debut)
The Chrysler EV development vehicle is a Range-extended Electric Vehicle that demonstrates another possible application of ENVI electric-drive technology in the segment-leading Chrysler Town & Country minivan.
"With the Chrysler EV, we are able to blend seven-passenger capability and the luxury of the Chrysler Town & Country minivan with electric-drive technology, demonstrating family practicality with zero compromise," said Rhodes. "ENVI's electric-drive development vehicles showcase our accelerated application of electric-drive systems into a wide range of vehicles in Chrysler's future product portfolio."
The Chrysler EV combines the electric-drive components of an Electric Vehicle with an integrated small-displacement engine and generator to produce additional electricity to power the electric-drive system when needed. This provides all of the positive attributes of an Electric Vehicle and extends the driving range to be equivalent to today's gasoline-powered vehicles - without compromises.
The Chrysler EV uses a 190 kW (255 horsepower) motor, producing 350 N*m (258 lb.-ft.) of torque, providing 0 to 60 mph acceleration in approximately nine seconds. The Chrysler EV Range-extended Electric Vehicle can drive 40 miles on all-electric power, and boasts a range of 400 miles on approximately eight gallons of gasoline. This makes the Chrysler EV the perfect fuel-efficient family vehicle.

Please remember that this is a website that has grown, thanks to a lot of volunteers. We're not a homogeneous group. We have different values, different styles, different abilities, and sometimes we just plain make mistakes. So, given the nature of our mutual enterprise, we've got to learn how to "do difference."
If you're irritated and frustrated by people who think or feel differently than you do, then please try a personal conversation before resorting to power moves and policing. You may have the clout and connections at find-a-grave to make your opinions prevail, but the exercise of power is tantamount to being a thug.
Relationship goes a long way toward solving problems, which is something that Abraham Lincoln understood very well: "I don't like that man," he said, "I must get to know him better." If you're not interested in relationship, in getting to know me and other contributors better; and if you want to hide behind anonymity and to lob edits at people like a guerrilla warrior, then perhaps it's time to step away from the situation and take stock of yourself because you've lost sight of our common goal and our common humanity.
OK, enough said. And now back to business:
Many people have asked me how I am able to take such clear photographs of the very old stones in the burial grounds of VT and NY.
Let me say first that I have taken some terrible photographs in my day, and I am still going back to re-shoot those stones. I am not a professional photographer and I use only a point-and-shoot digital camera.
But I have been gifted with two good friends who deserve much of the credit for my photos: my long-time genealogical buddy, Steven Smith, who gave me two invaluable tips for photographing difficult stones (just send me an email message if you'd like my write-up of Steve's tips); and my mirror-and-umbrella-bearer, Fay Smith (unrelated to Steve), who willingly slogs through waist-high grass and dark woods with me each summer, in the most oppressive heat and humidity, and in spite of the squads of mosquitoes and flies that routinely assail us. How anyone can remain cheerful under such circumstances continues to amaze me, but Fay does.
Were it not for Steve's advice, Fay's help, and the unfailing support of my husband Jim Boyce - who allows me two months each year in his native state of Vermont - I would be unable to "do cemetery," much less get good photographs.
And finally I would like to acknowledge my canine companions - Millie, Malarkey and Mischief - Springer Spaniels whose enthusiasm for "doing cemetery" over the years has rivaled my own!
PLEASE do not use my photographs without permission. If you send me an email message, I will gladly grant permission for your personal use.
Per find-a-grave guidelines you are entitled to request memorials for direct ancestors up to 4 generations. I receive quite a volume of requests and have found that the tone of such requests has changed recently, from gratitude that the memorials were created to blatant entitlement, and it's very upsetting. I am not a casual graver or phone-tographer. I generally research the families whose memorials I've created and whose photos I've taken (or intend to take) and linked members over many generations. After all that work, it's quite a loss to transfer my memorials, but I'm willing to do so if your relationship trumps mine and if you'll provide me with supporting documentation. I've never asked for proof of relationship before, but the tone of recent messages and the drive of some people to add as many notches to their gun belts as possible, has prompted my new "policy."

James Parkhill & Temperance Kelsey Higgins
I appreciate all the work you have done on the Higgins family. Wow!
I have one correction however. James Parkhill (Memorial #123834472). You list 2 spouses. One of the spouses, Temperance E. Higgins (1849-1866) (Memorial # 65245139) is the incorrect Temperance. Temperence E Higgins never married. She was 17 at death. I believe you have inadvertently attached the wrong Temperance to him. The correct one is Temperance Kelsey Parkhill (1756-1831) (Memorial #20184288).
I have requested an edit through Find A Grave, but thought I would give you a head's up.
Hope this helps.

Hi Janet,
I know you are off adventuring so definitely don't expect a reply, just wanted to give you a heads up that I got a spam email from you. Subject line "From: Janet Muff". Didn't open it, but suspect you have been hacked/people have managed to get into your account to send spam.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has been cleared of allegations of ethical wrongdoing by the Defense Department Inspector General.
In 2011, the Project on Government Oversight called on the DOD IG to investigate conflicts of interest at DARPA between employees and contractors to which they had ties. In particular, and the case that triggered POGO's request, was the link between former DARPA Director Regina Dugan and a firm run by her family, RedXDefense, a DARPA contractor. Also under scrutiny was a "revolving door" between DARPA and contracted defense firm BAE Systems.
In the report, Jacquelyn Wicecarver, assistant inspector general for acquisition and contract management, wrote that the IG office's probe found no proof of wrongdoing and that DARPA's measures for ensuring ethics at the agency meet governmentwide standards and are adequate. There is no mention in the report of Dugan or the RedXDefense.
To download the DOD IG report, click here.
"DARPA's ethics policies and program implementation were consistent with federal government conflict-of-interest mitigation standards, and DARPA personnel were properly trained and followed their policies," Wicecarver wrote.
The IG sampled 40 of the agency's roughly 200 employees, chosen at random. Of those sampled, there were a total of 53 reports of potential conflicts on file. However, the IG found that the mitigation measures the employees followed, such as recusing themselves from participation in a particular program or activity, were sufficient to avoid any actual conflicts.
"In 40 sampled cases, DARPA officials undertook a mitigation process that usually included either a voluntary divestiture process or the employee self-disqualifying from personally and substantially participating in actions dealing with the organization or person where an actual conflict-of-interest existed," the report noted.
But those measures do not go far enough, according to Scott Amey, general counsel at POGO.
"The agency has ethics training and standards, but even that is concerning because with 40 DARPA employees there were 53 instances where ethics concerns had to be mitigated. That seems like high number at small agency," Amey said. "Thirty of the 53 cases were recusals—again, that's not really getting to the heart of an independent agency. In a lot of other agencies, if employees have a financial conflict or ties to contractor, at that point they would take more than steps of recusals to prevent access or sharing of information."
Also addressed in the IG report were allegations of potential conflicts of interest between DARPA and BAE and its subsidiary, AlphaTech, including concerns about BAE and AlphaTech employees rotating employment between the private companies and DARPA. POGO also alleged that BAE/AlphaTech was awarded a disproportionate number of contracts between 2002 and 2010.
"We determined that the program management and contract award process participation of the seven DARPA employees who formerly worked for BAE/AlphaTech did not create a conflict-of-interest between the two entities," Wicecarver wrote, adding that one of the individuals was a consultant, not a DARPA employee, and that all in question adequately underwent ethics training and followed the rules accordingly.
The review also at least partly attributes the revolving door to the nature of the agency's work.
"DARPA personnel routinely rotate between the private and public sectors. DARPA recruits and hires individuals to fill specific innovational research needs for limited time periods (generally 3 to 6 years), then the employee returns to private industry," the report stated.
Still, Amey cautioned that there are still plenty of potential dangers in DARPA's turnover, which happens plenty in other agencies as well.
"There are always concerns about whether an agency is working in the best interest of taxpayers, or if people in the agency are working toward their own personal or private corporate interests. You have to worry about agencies being lenient on contractors, or working only with contractors with insider connections," Amey said. "The contracting system is supposed to be unbiased and beyond reproach, but then you see some of this data – 40 DARPA employees with 53 potential conflicts. It's a small world, but at the same time DARPA has to make sure they are doing everything they can to protect taxpayer interests and not operate for personal or private gain."

I had some dealings with DARPA in the early 2000s. Although I was not inclined to file a complaint, I did notice a definite proclivity to work with specific vendors and a tendency for those vendors to bad-mouth other vendors. I do think an innovation promoter like DARPA needs to be open to the wide range of ideas and not get too tied up with one faction. I also think the IG should give this issue extra attention because it is important and because most DARPA employees are not career civil service and may not realize how important these issues are (compared to their civilian employment).
I worked with DARPA many years ago and consider them to be one of the most important strategic organizations in the federal government. Their role today is even more important, as technology assessment evolves from important to critical. The U.S. cannot compete in the global market lacking a proactive approach to understanding the true value of the myriad new tools evolving and DARPA remains on the cutting edge. The current trend towards reducing the military totally ignoress the social contributions made in the past and recognition of this contribution goes begging. The U.S. military has always led industry in development of new technologies and recognition should be given. Congratulations to DARPA and my efforts will be focused on creating awareness on Capitol Hill.

Curried Carrot Soup
From O at Home
Curry adds an exotic edge to this brightly colored soup. When cooking with curry powder, always give it a brief saute, as I do here. This step warms the oils in the spices and intensifies the flavor. While there are many kinds of curry powder, Madras-style is the most common and the version you will find at most supermarkets. For a creamier soup, use the yogurt or coconut milk option.

- 1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 stalk(s) celery, chopped
- 1 clove(s) garlic, chopped
- 2 pound(s) carrots, scrubbed but unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 1 tablespoon(s) Madras-style curry powder
- 1 teaspoon(s) ground ginger
- 5 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup(s) plain nonfat yogurt or light coconut milk (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and stir well. Stir in the curry powder and ginger and cook, stirring almost constantly, for 30 seconds.
- Add the broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and partially cover the pot. Simmer until the carrots are very tender, about 30 minutes.
- In batches, transfer the soup to a blender, process until smooth and pour the pureed soup into a large bowl. (If you have an immersible hand blender, you can puree the soup right in the pot.) Return the pureed soup to the pot. If desired, stir in the yogurt or coconut milk and stir over low heat just until the soup is very hot; do not simmer. Season the soup with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
