Never let facts get in the way of a good story: EADT says East Anglian 'house prices rising'
The splash in the East Anglian Daily Times yesterday looked like good news for anyone int he paper's circulation area trying to sell a house, with its headline: House prices rising.
Pity for them it was not true that "house prices are on the rise in East Anglia". They had risen by 0.8% in a year, the paper said.
This figure, in Land Registry statistics, was for the eastern region, which includes Hertofrdshire and Bedfordshire.
The figure for Suffolk was that there had been no change in the past year and in Norfolk they had risen by an insignificant 0.2%.
Taking inflation into account, prices have fallen in real terms in both counties.
The figures and statistical methods are complicated but it seems that the most significant element of what rises there have been is for very expensive houses.
In July the number of houses sold in England and Wales for over £1m doubled to 562.
I can see how the EADT made its mistake as the press release from the Land Registry only gave regional figures. But I would have expected any reporter working in Suffolk to know the difference between the east and East Anglia.
A simple phone call to the Land Registry would inevitably led them to the full report with its house price index figures for most counties.
Wordblog is now two blogs
Wordblog is returning to its roots by resuming blogging about the media. That does not mean that events in Suffolk, where I live, are going onto a back burner.
Rather than have a single blog dealing with both topics, it has been split into two — Suffolk Wordblog and Media Wordblog — taking advantage of the the multi-site capabilities of the latest versions of Wordpress.
I am not a techie and setting up the new system has been an interesting experience taking me to places I have not been before, such as editing the database. I believe I have got the basic structure working but undoubtedly it is not the finished site I want.
It looks a bit rough and ready but that will change over the coming weeks. Please bear with me.
Why am I returning to my interest in media? Firstly, I have found myself playing a small part in what is often called "citizen journalism". I don't like that description, but is better than "voluntary sector journalism" which echoes the Big Society idea's jargon.
Whatever you call it, the localism espoused by all political parties is responsible for a resurgent interest in local affairs at a time when the local press is struggling.
This is leading to the development of local news sites and blogs which are starting to play a part in holding councils to account.
At the same time mainstream media is changing at an increasingly rapid rate.
As a former paid journalist and teacher of journalism, I think I have a slightly different perspective to bring to media blogging.
So there are now two Wordblogs to read:

Private Eye on Suffolk libraries plan
Much excitement today about an item in Private Eye's Library News which compares Suffolk county Council's suggestion that a community interest company should be responsible for its libraries with problems over a CIC in Glasgow.
The Eye says:
Before Suffolk rushes ahead, a glance at Glasgow might be informative. in 2007 the city council there outsourced all its museums, libraries and leisure centres by setting up Culture and Sport Glasgow, an arms-length charitable company with a CIC to operate as a "trading arm" and do the things a charity legally couldn't.
There are cuts and redundancies facing all the services provided through Culture and Sport Glasgow, now expensively rebranded as Glasgow Life.
But while we know little about Suffolk's plans, which seem to be for a social enterprise, possibly a CIC, to administer the county libraries, the comparisons with Glasgow are limited.
The CIC in Glasgow was set up to handle trading parts of the organisation, in much the same way as other major charities use them to run their shops. It represents a tiny part of the service.
Glasgow Life is a charity, funded largely by the City Council, which has got to make savings of £10m over three years (BBC). But this is on a £100m plus annual budget (Glasgow Life annual review).
That is a small cut compared with the 30% saving Suffolk CC is demanding in its library budget over thee years.
Outsourcing and contract management in Suffolk and Barnet
The easyBarnet outsourcing scheme, to which Suffolk's New Strategic Direction bore some uncanny similarities, has come under pressure this week with a damning audit report on a security contract.
Patrick Butler, in his cuts blog at the Guardian, examines how the MetPro scandal was uncovered by bloggers. His post starts:
After the demise of Suffolk's "virtual" council (and the electoral scuppering of Bury's "enabling" council) it is the turn of the daddy of all Conservative-led, outsourcing-driven council reforms programmes to come under the critical spotlight: Barnet's Flagship "easy council" project.
MetPro was given the security contract without any of the basic checks and without putting the work out to tender. But it was filming of members of the public attending council meetings that brought it to attention of Barnet's effective group of bloggers.
It was also Barnet bloggers who first spotted the co-incidence of the similarity of the Barnet and Suffolk councils policies and the common factor of Max Wide, who had been seconded to both councils by his employer BT.
He has been described as playing a pivotal role in both policies. See my earlier post, Has BT gained too much influence in local government?
As in Barnet, the control of contracts is an issue in Suffolk. Michael Gower, who resigned from his job as head of supplier relationship management at SCC a year ago, told the Guardian he had made proposals to cut costs in the £100m Consumer Services Direct deal with BT. He continued:
Every attempt to make these changes was frustrated, mostly as a result of interventions by the chief executive.
Suffolk county council is not getting value for money out of one of its largest contracts. We were incapable of making the decisions needed to deliver the multimillion pound savings to the benefit of the council taxpayers of Suffolk.
Realistically, the new leader of the Suffolk Council, Mark Bee, has not had the time yet to address this issue and follow his mantra of transparency by telling us what he has done.
The council has announced it is to press ahead with the sale of elderly care homes, after the Southern Cross debacle (Evening Standard). The company owns eight homes in Suffolk.
Lib Dem councillor Caroline Page has quoted Age UK as saying:
In future, we would like to see all home care providers having to demonstrate to regulators a solid business model. Without this they should not be able to run care homes. The sector would benefit from greater transparency.
It would have been good to hear a similar endorsement that view from Mark Bee and the ruling conservative group.
And this week the scrutiny committee's libraries report included this recommendation:
that the Council retain the ability to ensure that the terms offered by the community interest company were sufficient to maintain a sustainable service.
Why did the all-party committee feel that needed saying?
It is reasonable to expect that SCC should provide credible evidence that its risk assessment, supplier management and audit systems are capable of effectively dealing with the complexities of outsourcing to private companies and social enterprises.
High court halts Gloucestershire library closures
The High Court today issued an injunction stopping library cuts in Gloucestershire until a hearing next month when a challenge, supported by campaigners, will be heard.
The injunction's terms include a bar on the county council transferring or agreeing to transfer any library building or lease or responsibility for any existing library, and transferring any mobile library or other library asset (such as computers, shelving etc). No funds can be withdrawn or library closed while the injunction is in force.
At the hearing next month the council will challenge the injunction.
The BBC quotes theleader of Gloucestershire county council saying:
This is very frustrating for council taxpayers and community groups. They are being forced into a costly legal process at a time when 20 communities have stepped forward with innovative and exciting business plans to take over their local facility.
Friends of Gloucestershire Libraries said:
Whilst we regret it has come to this we did warn Gloucestershire County Council from the start that this would happen. 15,000+people signed a petition calling on them to pause and carry out an impartial, independent review of their proposals. The"consultation" feedback shows that the public overwhelmingly rejected their plans. There was coordinated day of protest in every library in the county. All of this yet they refused to listen and have instead chosen to walk into an expensive court case. We welcome this news we received today. At last there is some hope. We support the legal challenge and are raising funds for it.
The progress of this case has been followed closely, since its inception, by campaigners in Suffolk. While many aspects of the situation here are different there are significant similarities.

Libraries: hopes of new meeting of community groups and Suffolk CC
On Wednesday I was a rather pessimistic (earlier post) about the previous day's Suffolk County Council scrutiny committee where I feared the opportunity of opening further constructive talks on libraries had somehow slipped away.
Today things are looking more hopeful following a press release from the council and the reaction of one of the campaigners who gave evidence to the committee.
The press release, issued quickly and before formal minutes are available, clarifies the committee's recommendations.
Colin Hart, who chairs the committee thanked those who had given evidence and said:
This was a valuable exercise in scrutinising an issue before decisions are taken and I hope and expect our recommendations will make a positive contribution to the new policy that is being developed.
The release which includes the valuable recommendations of the committee has not yet appeared on the county council website, but my copy is here.
James Hargrave, one of the campaigners who gave evidence to the committee, reacted on his blog saying:
I am hopeful that there is now an opportunity for all sides to sit down and discuss the situation and work together for the good of the counties libraries.
During the meeting on Tuesday a meeting was suggested, but it seemed to me that the opportunity faded away. Now, I hope it is back on track.
The press release quotes Judy Terry the council cabinet member responsible for libraries saying:
I am extremely grateful for the comments from committee members, representatives of various campaign groups and those who have submitted bids. We're continuing to listen and will base future policy on exhaustive consultation with the people of Suffolk.
The scrutiny committee recommendations are:
- the classification of County Libraries and Community Libraries referred to in the Consultation document is not a reasonable basis for a policy;
- the potential community interest company agrees individual budgets for each library;
- the business case considered by Cabinet should clearly demonstrate how the community interest company service would operate across the whole of Suffolk;
- that the Council retain the ability to ensure that the terms offered by the community interest company were sufficient to maintain a sustainable service;
- any claims on secondary taxation from Parish, Town, District or Borough Councils be carried out on an equitable basis across Suffolk;
- due consideration be given to innovative ideas that have already come forward and any others that are received from communities on how their services might be run;
- the policy on mobile libraries be clearly stated in the report to Cabinet;
- the Council provide absolute clarity to communities interested in running their libraries on issues they were likely to raise such as finance, staffing and legal issues;
East Anglian Daily Times calls for 10% pay cut for top 79 county officials
Another day and another story about Suffolk County Council and money in the Archant newspapers. The East Anglian Daily Times "reveals" the pay of the top earners (79 of them).
The median pay is about £70,000 a year. The average would be higher, largely because of the huge differential between Andrea Hill (£215,000) and the next highest paid (£125,000).
Jane Storey. deputy leader of the council, tells the paper: "Suffolk County Council published these figures last October as part of our efforts to be as open and transparent as possible."
Up to a point, Lord Copper. Yes, they were published and I found them several months ago. But a look at the press release archive shows no evidence of a public announcement.
Publishing on a website without telling people is hardly being transparent.
The money paid to these senior people will shock many and some salaries will shock most people.
But caution is needed. The rates for many of the jobs need to be compared to those of other professionals, doctors, lawyers, head teachers and accountants for example.
The 10% (figure amended to correct error) across the board cut advocated by the EADT would almost certainly throw up examples of injustice.
While the paper produces the salaries as a list (not online), the source document which is online is in the form of organisation charts. I am not management consultant but it looks to me top-heavy.
Do we really need to have three tiers of management above the head librarian? But that post has been made redundant while the upper layers remain intact.
In fact, a number of jobs in the list are now redundant or vacant.
A flattening of the organisation structure would not only bring savings but would make the whole organisation more responsive.
The EADT also mentions research by the Lib Dems showing that the total wage bill for high earners at the council had gone up from £6m to £16m over the last five years.
Ms Storey tells the paper that the number of senior management posts had been reduced and the council has the lowest cost executive management pay bill in all counties in the Eastern Region.
Would a loo break have given a little more hope over future of Suffolk libraries?
After more than three hours of a council meeting about libraries yesterday afternoon, I wake up this morning still wondering whether the outcome might have been different if a loo break had been called.
The scrutiny committee of Suffolk County Council was breaking new ground by examining the issue before the cabinet makes a decision.
Colin Hart, who chairs the committee with flexibility and humour, said beforehand: "I've long called for the Scrutiny Committee to be given the opportunity to have a say on key issues before they are decided on by Cabinet."
At a crucial moment yesterday he said to the non-council people called to give evidence (I was not taking a note but believe this is a fair summary): "We [the council] have got ourselves in a hole. Will you help us get out of it?"
The suggestion was for all those with an interest in the issue to sit town together and try to find a solution, but it got lost in the surprised and equivocal responses. Quickly, the momentum was lost.
If there had been a short break in the meeting at that point the idea of talks before the cabinet decision is made might have got somewhere during the meeting. It is not too late now to open a dialogue.
One concern among campaigners is that Judy Terry, the cabinet member responsible for libraries sometimes gives the impression that she wants to get through a policy as close as it can be to the old New Strategic Direction idea.
In fact she made a significant change in the amended version of the policy which was announced after Mark Bee became leader of the council.
She avoided saying they intended to set up a Community Interest Company to provide core services and instead talked about a "social enterprise". A CIC would be a social enterprise, but so are other models of organisation and governance.
But this significant change in her position seemed to pass unnoticed by members of the committee who continued to talk about the Community Interest Company.
Sometimes Ms Terry's use of language does not help. Many of the councillors seemed surprised to learn that the differentiation between "county" and "community" libraries had been dropped.
Library campaigners had learned this more than three months ago during a meeting at Endeavour House, but it had never been unequivocally announced. Probably there was a fear that it would make the drive a fatal nail into the consultation.
And yesterday, Ms Terry stuck to her formula that she had always made it clear that all libraries were subject to the consultation. The problem is that the consultation documents led most people to believe otherwise and that the bigger libraries were outside the consultation.
There does seem to be a basis for talks which just might result in a cabinet decision which is more widely acceptable.
This is a very subjective look at the meeting. For a traditional report (as a journalist, I would have written much the same), read Paul Geater in the East Anglian Daily Times.
Further links since this post was published: James Hargrave, from Stradbroke who gave evidence at the meeting, blogs about it. Alasdair Ross, an Ipswich labour blogger sees no change. And Andrew Coates, also sees a continuation of the New Strategic Direction.
Suffolk CC urged by campaign group to delay libraries decision
Suffolk County Council will be urged tomorrow (Tuesday, June 15) to defer making a decision on the future of the county's libraries by a new campaign group involving nearly half of the "community" libraries.
A press release says: "We believe that the Cabinet will not be in a position to make a properly considered decision because the information put before them will be incomplete and inaccurate."
Tomorrow, at a meting of the council's scrutiny committee, campaigners will present evidence, "showing how the consultation process begun this January is fundamentally flawed – not least because those delivering it have failed to follow Suffolk County Council's own procedures."
The Save Suffolk Libraries Campaign Network will urge the scrutiny committee to recommend that the council cabinet should defer any decisions on libraries at its meeting on July 19.
The campaign network says no decisions should be taken until the council has, "completed a review of the completeness and validity of the information they have received, assessed whether they have adequately gathered and listened to the views of the Suffolk people and have completed an appropriate Impact Assessment."
The Save Suffolk Libraries Campaign Network was formed last week by campaigners supporting many individual libraries and has three objectives:
- Network, share information, knowledge, ideas and expertise.
- Coordinate countywide campaign activities
- Work collectively on identified themes of common interest
A newspaper and the non-story of a council's travel expenses
Because some spending details are available as the result of a Freedom of Information Act request does not mean they are scandalous. Take the Evening Star's latest revelation under the headline "Suffolk: County Council staff takes 175 trips abroad — at a cost of £98,000″.
That is in a period of six years making the cost of foreign travel less than £16,500 a year. The average cost of a trip is £560.
That looks to me like careful control of expenses. I doubt if many organisations of similar size would appear so frugal if their travel expenses were exposed to scrutiny.
The figures suggest budget airlines and far from luxurious hotels.
The newspaper reports a county spokesman saying that one trip to Africa, which cost £16,000 was mainly funded through the children partaking in the trip raising money. He said that the reason was to take eight children in care to visit orphanages in Africa.
That sounds like a commendable project.
And "almost £500 was forked out" to visit an exhibition in Amsterdam to consider the best speed cameras for the county. It lasted three days which hardly suggests an official living the high life.
We need our officials to get out and talk to people, to hear the experiences of others so that they are better able to advise councillors.
One employee had £2,000 to attend a five day course in Boston as a part of a masters degree. This kind of spending is clearly not common and providing development opportunities to staff is important in recruiting and retaining the able people we need working for us.
Wordblog in its earlier incarnation was about the media, and it is the decision that this story was worth running that worries me.
It is the job of the press to hold public bodies to account. Enquiring into all aspects of spending is an important part of this. And the Evening Star has produced some important stories including the revelation of the money spent on photographs of chief executive Andrea Hill.
The chief executive's spending on hotel stays in Suffolk, now a part of the investigation into her conduct, is another.
But this story about travel expenses undermines the good work. It enables those who should be held to account to turn on the media with valid complaints. "Just another example of the press pursuing a vendetta," they can say with credibility.
I fear that FoI requests have given regional newspapers, hit by declining sales, reduced advertising revenue, and the resulting loss of reporters, a cheap semblance of investigative reporting.
The in-depth analysis of what the county council is really doing is expensive, demanding staff time which is no longer available. But that is what we need.
The challenge to our regional media is how to respond the the challenges of changes which are much more long-term than the current economic low. The internet has changed everything but I believe print will be with us for a long time.
I will return to this subject to look at ways in which our regional press could operate in a world of hyperlocal web news and social media to better serve its print readers.

Play, I gave up sports for hunting and regret it.

Play, I gave up sports for hunting and regret it.
I'm 62 years old and there is not a fall that comes around that I wish I had played sports in school instead of all the other stupid things I did. Play ball, wrestle or any other school activity that comes around. You are only young once, don't miss out on some of the most exciting times of your life!
lets hope you dont mess your shooting shoulder up:cool:
Yeah, hopefully I not good enough for QB.

My football coach got mad at me for going deer hunting, that was in middle school, ever since then, my personal choice was hunting, I don't regret it but that's me. I'm not a football fan at all, I wish I did play more baseball though, huge baseball fan.
Go A's!
If you like football and you get to play, play. Plenty of life ahead for hunting. Me pesonally I hunted, I sucked at sports. It was a no brainer for me, hunt or sit on the bench. I've never regreted not playing.
I think most hunters have been in your shoes.....here is what i think, have you played football? Do you know that you will love it as much as hunting? If you know that you will love playing football more than hunting, then play, if not, then stick to hunting. Your friends wont shun you if they are true friends if you choose hunting, plus what happends if you go out and play and hurt yourself? Tear an ACL or mess your shoulder up? Then what? No hunting for you this year. Granted you can hurt yourself doing anything, but you up your chances playing football. But take my advise for what its worth, i love playing sports, i loved playing football and i encourage it, but to me it seems like your heart is in hunting and i would follow that.....
I am also in HS and I have decided to hunt rather than play sports, especially since I drew a pretty sweet deer tag. You don't get the chance at a NM 2B november mule deer rifle tag very often so I decided to focus on that. Just do what you are most passionate about. For me it is hunting so I choose that over sports.
Can't make the choice for you, but I wouldn't trade the friends made and lessons leaned playing football, for anything. I am also a big-time hunter but like others have said you have your whole life for that. I would go back and re-live my high school years and the football games in a heartbeat if I had the chance. I bowhunted the weekends and after football season, really didn't interfer that much in my situation.
Your choice, but I would drop football. I spent my first deer season in a cast from football. 2 surgeries and 20 years latter and I am fine. but that doesn't mean that I will be in another 20! Me and my knee regret ever playing it. Love watching it but I risked too much of what I truly love.
You get this little window of time, from when you can go it alone until you get married and have kids. This is the time where you will have the most money and most freedom, spend it wisely.
I remember someone interviewing Jack Nicklaus a few years ago (when Tiger Woods was just going on his run) about Tiger breaking his records. Jack said something to the effect of "wait until he gets married and has some kids, then we will see". Hmmmm….

The first time you try our PowerGear® Lopper, you'll be amazed — but it's not magic, it's gears. Our patented gear technology multiplies your leverage to give you up to three times more power on every cut. This means you can power through thick branches that you wouldn't be able to cut with traditional loppers. It also means that our lopper can be lighter than other loppers, reducing strain on your hands, wrists and muscles when you're reaching to cut a branch or have a lot of branches to cut. Like many of our PowerGear® tools, our lopper has won the Ease-of-Use Commendation from the Arthritis Foundation®. But it's not just for people with arthritis — it's for anyone who appreciates tools that make work easier.

Cuts good , but you have to open the handles so wide to get the blades open that you are limited. when trying to open for 1.25 diameter branch your hands are 4ft apart whick keeps you from entering the tool next to the tree trunk.
Awesome. My wife will not let me use them until she is done pruning, cleaning up limbs and brush. She actually has worn out the cutting blade in the 6 years we have had them. Light, powerful so that even she can use them on large limbs. Worth every $ we paid for them.
Pretty solid. I've used it for years now without issues.

To me that sounds totally boring.
I think you will have to accept that things change, and if that is not an option then you can always continue running your distro from 2009, or band up with other people with similar thoughts and maintain something that behaves the way you like it.
If all the stop energy generated towards GNOME3, systemd, pulseaudio, or whatever is fashionable to hate this week, was directed to something useful I am sure it could power a complete distro with GNOME2, sysvinit and plain ALSA without any trouble

Comments, questions and tips
I work in Food Tech at a secondary school. We use this recipe every year for our open evening for prospective parents. We normally make about 12-14 batches,( 400 biscuits !) and vary them with lemon, chocolate and vanilla. The aroma attracts lots of visitors to our room, and we never have any left over. Easy to prepare dough in advance, and simple for our younger students to make and roll out.
I have made this recipe twice. The first time with butter and they turned out fine. The second time I used soft Stork and a hand mixer to mix. I was left with an unrollable dough and had to kneed in about 50g more flour to get something I could work with. Turned out absolutely delish though, even better than the first batch with butter.

An intriguing prompt for this 178th Sepia Saturday. So many choices of faces speak silently to me over the years, each a tribute to a life lived long ago and giving me just a glimmer of the real person beyond the sepia. I toyed with photos of grandfathers, Scots and German, with my earnest-eyed father at age six, or my great great grandmother, who purportedly of Indian heritage, crossed the Oregon Trail in 1854. Finally, I settled on my first choice, a picture that has intrigued me from the moment I first found the tiny 1"x1" photo, loose and nearly lost in the fold of an old box of pictures. The piercing dark eyes of my grandmother Agnes Laura Sigford might indeed hypnotize a person as she seems to stare into your soul. My mother always said that her mother, this Agnes Laura, could stop her childhood misbehavior in its tracks from far across any room -- just with those eyes. I have many pictures of this maternal grandmother of mine, but this picture of her in the cloche hat and the fur neck-piece intrigues me most of all -- mysterious, imperious, regally aloof.
Agnes Laura's mother, my great-grandmother, died shortly after she was born, so Agnes Laura grew up a child of the eastern Oregon hills. She often told how she hated those stark, wind blown hills, but I believe that land tempered and tested her. In a time and a place where books were scarce, she had a life long love affair with words and books. When she was seven years old, her father gave her a book that she treasured, Children's Friend. A decade later, when she was sent away to school, she would find another treasure of words in her Elocution book. I don't remember my grandmother ever reading to me, or even talking with me about books and stories -- she was too busy to be "sitting around reading". Nevertheless, this grandmother of mine somehow transmitted to me, my own love affair with words. Perhaps it was just the reverent way she allowed me to take a book out of the glass fronted bookcase. Or maybe a faraway look in her eye when she opened her Elocution book.. Or the anthology of poetry that she gave to my mother and from which I read, night after night, as I did dishes -- book propped up in the windowsill. This picture of my grandmother -- not as I remembered her, but in some magical way as I know her in words, books of stories and poems -- speaks to my heart in way that never happened when I was a child. And my heart of hearts tells me this is how she would like to have lived and be remembered.
|Agnes Laura Sigford (Keyes)
The picture of Agnes Laura when she graduated from high school in Corvallis, Oregon, far from her eastern Oregon home outside of the small town of Mitchell, reflected her high school dreams -- lovely white dress, flowers at her feet. She was ready to step out and meet the world. A few years later, this daughter of a well-to-do rancher left the Keyes ranch to marry Frank Sigford, a young man from Wisconsin who had joined his brothers out west to make their fortune.
However Lady fortune never laid her bounty on the couple. The sweet picture of my grandmother and her first born, Irene, belied the grief of losing this baby when she was not yet two years old. Frank, her husband, followed his dream of riches from dredging gold near Marysville, to the Pacific Northwest logging camps, to southern Oregon cattle ranches, and the subsistance on dry land farms in southern Oregon.
By the time Agnes Laura was in her mid forties, my grandmother had born seven children, five of which lived to adulthood and old age.. Her life was hard -- their lives were hard -- young children and shy on financial resources took their toll on her. Dreams of living a life in which one talked about books, the lives, places and thoughts between the covers, fell by the wayside. And she became the grandmother that I knew as a child-- an old woman, who plied us with homemade applesauce and bread fresh from her over. Her only tie to the life she thought would be hers rested behind the homemade glass fronted bookcase.

Star Conflict
StarConflict Overview
* Please bear in mind that this information can be changed or corrected. This document only reflects changes which are most important and necessary to be shown.
Three Factions
The Empire:
A great war machine, steadfast in its submission to the leader. This faction's policy is aimed at expansion: expanding the boundaries of the Emperor's power is their main priority.
The Empire's strength comes from the best navy in the universe. The magnificent ships are characterized by high wear resistance and combat capability. They are equipped with the best offensive and defensive techniques in their field, which were developed by the faction's scientific cabinet. Representatives of the Empire are very interested in technology, particularly military technology. The cabinet of scientists, which is formed by the best minds in the universe, is generously sponsored—Imperials don't skimp on innovations. However, the Empire isn't interested in sharing these technical innovations with the masses.
The army is the pride of every Imperial, and a successful military career is essential for anyone who hopes to achieve a high-powered position. Representatives of this faction command respect with fortitude, the ability to stand up for themselves, and solidarity. The appearance of members of the Empire is exactly the same as their character. According to them, one's clothes should be functional and reflect the owner's status.
Proud and strong, loyal to the Emperor and ready to conquer the universe every day of the year, Imperials are one of the universe's strongest factions.
Characteristics of the Empire Ships
The Empire ships are a good choice. The ship's hull is 35% stronger compared to ships from other factions, but the shield is 20% weaker than the shields of other factions. All in all a recommended choice for all who prefere to play on strength.
Bonus for Imperial factions
"Loyalty": +5% Reputation
"Rage": +5% Damage on main weapons
The Imperial factions
The Federation
Also known as the Alliance of Free Worlds. Representatives of this faction bow to no one, but have paid for their freedom with centuries of bloody wars against the Empire.
There is no rigid power structure or clear hierarchy in the Alliance. This faction doesn't pursue a policy of aggressive expansion (except the expansion of the mind), but from time to time accept free men into their ranks when one star system or another decides to throw off the yoke of the Empire. Trade is the Federation's power and there no place in the known universe that was occupied by another faction without a Federation representative getting there first—whether to mine, sell, or explore the potential market.
The Federation cares about the development of technology. Its high quality ships are well eqipped, speedy, and convenient for travel and transporting goods. Men of the Federation use weapons primarily for self-protection, which is why the Federation keeps developing portable and stationary devices to generate solid force fields.
As for their appearance, members of the Federation are known as rather democratic personalities. Expensive fabrics of superior design, exceptional comfort, and some extravagance distinguish their favorite apparel. However, in striving for the perfect appearance, members of the Alliance don't neglect defense, hiding portable generators and power fields in their belts, or venom locators and virtual maps in their rings
Their desire for security, taste for moderate adventure, love of luxury, and exceptional nose for profit are the main features that characterize representatives of the Federation faction.
Characteristics of the Federation Ships
Ships of the Federation are characterized by high speed and maneuverability. These abilities are 25-30% higher compared to the other factions. In addition the Federation ships have good power generators allowing them to replenish energy 15% faster.
Bonus for Federations factions
"Transaction": +5% credit income
"The perfect Setup": +2% Hitpoints for hull and shields
The Federation factions
The Jericho
The heirs of people who were long ago banished from the Earth, Jericho are quite suspicious of and harsh toward strangers. Forced to live for a long time on huge spaceships flying into the unknown, the representatives of this faction have worked hard to improve their technology, and now Jericho is the most technically equipped faction. Jericho's ships are fast and maneuverable. Their arms are not only superior in design to those of the other factions, but also differ from them in many ways.
It's worth noting that the men of Jericho are different from the other descendants of humanity, too. For centuries, this faction led development in the field of cybergenetics, resolving various disadvantages of the physical human body with complex implants that helped them in their struggle for survival.
Starting in early childhood, the Jericho modify their bodies, and this process seems so natural to them that people who don't use implants are met with scornful surprise. They put their faith into the success of technological development and it has paid off.
Jericho have survived, conquered numerous planets, and returned to avenge those who drove them out. Will this faction justify its name will the people of Jericho allow the wall of misunderstanding that separates them from the rest of the world to fall? Time will tell.
Characteristics of the Jericho Shpis
Jericho ships have relatively low (approximately 15%) hull strength, but very powerful shields and strong recharge generators, which are 35-40% better than in other factions.
Bonuses Of Jericho
"Observant": +5% more experience
"Intrigue": +2% damage of missles
The Jericho factions
Reputation is earned for certain actions in the game. Reputation is necessary to obtain the next rank in the faction. Reputation points for one and the same action can give reputation for both sub factions.
Ways to improve reputation
1. The main way to gain reputation points is to fight with the ships of the faction. If you are in battle with ships of different fractions, reputation points will be credited to those factions ships which took part in the battle. You may also enter the fight on non faction ships. In this case the reputation will be provided for the two subfactions.
2. An additional way to gain reputation points is to complete contracts. For the completion of the terms of the contract the player is awarded a certain amount of reputation points as specified in the contract.
Contracts are Quests players can recieve from every faction regardless of their origin. With the completion of the contract the player receives a reward.
Contracts are a way of enhancing the reputation of the fractions. Contracts are not required. It allows you to accelerate the growth of reputation and reduce the time to achieve the next level rank in a particular faction.
At the beginning of the game the player is not available for all contracts. Availability of contracts is unlocked as the reputation for a particular faction. Contracts can be included several times in a row, but a number of contracts have a rollback time and cannot be completed in a series.

Star Conflict – First Look
StarConflict Review
Full Review
By Ange Perdu
Star Conflict is a 3D space themed PvP based MMO by Gaijin Entertainment. Set far in the distant future, mankind has stumbled upon a magnificent discovery known as Sector 1337. This new find holds the secrets to ancient civilizations throughout history and their most sought after treasures. Players must choose one of three warring factions as they join this ongoing conflict for intergalactic territorial control. Spacecrafts can be customized with advanced gadgets, weaponry, and modules to create a powerful vessel capable of massive amounts of damage. As official pilots, command an arsenal of battleships, learn special war tactics, and advance your craft's technology. Assist fellow comrades on their exploration quests or raid patrolling enemy fleets. Similar to other space combat MMOs players compete for the title of top ranked fighter pilot and rule over the ever-expanding universe.
How to Rule the Universe, the Gameplay
In Star Conflict players have the option of completing a brief tutorial or flying straight into the action as a fighter pilot for their chosen faction. Although the tutorial isn't necessary, those new to space MMOs might find the game to have a slight learning curve. Majority of the gameplay involves PvP combat and maneuvering through the universe to take down opponents. During intense battles players must quickly navigate through hundreds of scattered asteroids and around stationary bases using the WASDEQ keys. There are also a number of specific keys used for activating modules, equipment, and releasing rockets. It can take some time to learn which weapons and modules work best for each particular spacecraft. Pilots are automatically transported to their hangar area where they have entrance to the lobby and the option to choose their desired game mode.
Much like Gaijin Entertainment's WWII flight simulation shooter War Thunder, Star Conflict features a variety of gameplay options. Pilots can fly solo, complete contracts, or participate in team based PvP battle modes. In solo fighter mode users simply patrol the galaxy looking for enemies to blow up. The effects during combat are quite impressive. Commanders cruising too close to a meteor will see a trail of dust as the ship grinds against the surface. Lasers and rockets soar across the dark sky and attacked spacecrafts ignite as they explode at the hands of their enemies. Contracts are basically mini quests that pilots can accept for additional XP. The tasks often vary depending on the affiliated factions of the pilot. Players must successfully complete contract objectives like destroying an enemy fleet commander, defending or capturing a beacon, eliminating 3 ships with laser weapons, or destroying a rival ship using a guided torpedo.
Space Combat 101
In the hangar area players have several PvP battle mode options to choose from along with skills and ship customization features that can be added to their spacecraft before entering combat. Pilots can fight in Arcade, Regular, and Random Scenarios. Similar to World of Tanks once a mode has been selected the players is transported into the lobby and randomly placed on a team of 8-10 players. Each mode varies with different objectives for teams to accomplish. Some battles may require fleets to plant an EMP-Bomb to destroy enemy stations, capture all enemy beacons, guard control towers, or destroy all of the opposing team's ships. Star Conflict's broad range of mission objectives keeps the combat in the game from feeling repetitive. Unlike other sci-fi online shooters, players are challenged. During battle mode known as Combat Incontinence one pilot on each team is randomly chosen as the captain and target. Players must destroy their rival team's captain and strategize to protect their own leader to score a win. Shooting down drones, capturing beacons, assisting in kills, and blowing up rival ships yield points that are tallied up after each match. Similar to Star Supremacy there's a very generous reward system integrated into the game as well. After successful matches players can search for loot. This feature enables users to click onto random points on a map to scan for treasure while being timed. It's a wonderful way to acquire rare gear, gadgets, and loads of bonus points. Items collected during loots can be kept or sold later for currency in order to purchase more advanced ships.
Thrusters in Overdrive & Assault Lasers
The ship customization within the game is somewhat in-depth. Players can learn skills that function as special boosts and have dozens of different weapons or modules to tweak the ability of their spacecraft. Certain artillery is ineffective against a specific ship class. It takes a significant amount of time to figure out which works best. This gives experienced pilots an advantage over new players. Fortunately, most gear and weapons can be easily obtained. There are assault lasers, rail guns, plasma cannons, rockets, missiles, engine suppressor, shield tuning, battle firmware, and ammo that can be purchased or exchanged in shops.
There are dozens of different ships available for each distinct faction. As players move up in rank they can acquire a higher tier ship with bigger reward bonuses. Hercules, Siegfried, Dwarf, Hydra, Trooper, Deimos, Ghost, and Iron Harpy are only a handful of the ships available. Each ship depending on its class has modules for combat, shield generators, engines, rocket compartments, weaponry slots, boosters, and EA emitters that can be customized. Battle microchips that increase weapon damage, thrusters in overdrive for speed, IR Flares to deflect guided missiles, and adaptive armor to maximize hull resistance can all be installed onto a pilot's ship. Although there are plenty of features to enhance a craft's combat performance, the ship's outer customization options could be better. There are only a few little add-ons like the ability to apply a sticker to the ship available.
Final Verdict: Great
Star Conflict is an entertaining fast-paced space combat MMO set in the distant future. Players become fighter pilots fighting for territorial control against rival factions. Upgrade your ship with powerful weapons and boosters, take on high priority contracts, and participate in dozens of unique team based battle modes. Whether playing as a solo pilot blasting away at any ship that moves or in a group PvP battle this game is equally challenging as it is fun. Anyone who enjoys space MMOs or online shooters will find this intergalactic gem from Gaijin Entertainment addicting. For any sci-fi fan it's definitely worth checking out.

Motherhood: Making Choices About Working
In This Article:
The sensible way to think about work and motherhood is to consider different options (Work or not? Full- or part-time? This job or that one?) in terms of this mother with this child and this partner in this family with this childcare possibility at this time. Let's suppose a mother, Jane, is debating whether to return to work or to continue staying home with her toddler, Tommy, and his big sister. Grace. If Jane is bored out of her skull staying home + Tommy is easygoing and would adapt quickly to childcare + her husband is up for doing more housework + Grace is doing fine in preschool + there's a good home day care site just down the street + Jane already weaned Tommy months ago = Returning to work probably makes more sense than staying home. But what if the opposite were true? If Jane feels deeply satisfied with being a full-time mom + Tommy is anxious and clingy + her husband works very long hours + Grace is jealous of her brother and wants a lot of time with Mom + and Tommy is still nursing = Staying home probably makes more sense.
Of course, in real life, the case for one option or another is usually a closer call: Suppose Jane is climbing the walls at home and her husband is fine with doing more housework, but Tommy is anxious about separation and the childcare options don't look very good. The needs of children must be balanced against the needs of their parents, who have rights, feelings, and wants that count, too. Even when you consider only the child, there are still tradeoffs: sometimes a "cost" to a child (such as adequate but less than optimal care) in one area is balanced by an even greater gain to the child in another area (such as a mother's greater patience because she is less stressed). Complicating things, there are the tradeoffs between present costs and benefits, and future ones: perhaps Tommy will be quite stressed at this time by Jane working, but he'll benefit in a few years from the additional income and seniority she'll have from continuing to work.
Overall, it's a tough decision, and either way Jane goes, there will be problems. But the right decision for any mother, whatever it is, will be the one that considers all aspects of her situation - and then evaluates them in light of her purposes and priorities in life.
Using Purpose and Priorities to Inform Your Choices
When you are clear about your purposes and priorities, it is enormously easier to make fundamental decisions about working or not, and to inform daily choices. Say your boss offers you a plumb assignment, but it entails a day or two of business travel each month. If you know that your priority right now is maxing time with your family and you're deliberately treading water in your career, then you'll feel more peace of mind about turning down the opportunity. On the other hand, if you've decided to put more energy into your career, you'll feel easier inside about telling your child every few weeks that you have to go on a trip overnight, but you'll be back really, really soon.
When you have a clear direction in life, you don't have to continually reevaluate your choices, or agonize over the ones you've made. It helps you deal with people who are questioning, sniping at, or resisting the choices you've made. You know what you feel in your heart, and you're more able to explain your actions (if you need to). Even if you can't fulfill an important purpose right now, or be entirely true to your priorities, clarity about what's awry helps you let go of self-blame, feel entitled to mourn what's missing, and be motivated to work on creating a life structure that's a better fit with your values.

Search is still on for body of UNH student 'Lizzi' Marriott
Thursday, October 18, 2012
PORTSMOUTH — Now in its fifth day, the search for the body of a murdered University of New Hampshire student continues near Peirce Island.
The state attorney general's office announced earlier in the week it had also reached out to Massachusetts and Maine authorities, to check their coastlines for any evidence that may come ashore.
In Portsmouth, Young said officials are also using a New Hampshire State Police helicopter, to obtain "more beneficial" visuals of the general area. The aerial search extends from Ordione Point State Park in Rye, to Newcastle and the general area of Peirce Island.
Additionally, cadaver dogs were not used in the search on Wednesday and Young said there is no end date or time frame for the search at this point. She said officials were "going to continue for a period of time" on Wednesday, most likely through the afternoon.
"It's an ongoing dialogue with all of the partners at the table," Young said. "…You know, you want to make sure that you're using everything that you can, everything that has some viability to it."
In a previous interview with Foster's, Young described the case as containing almost two investigations, with the water search ongoing and evidence gathering on the criminal side of the case against Mazzaglia. Young noted the FBI continues to investigate, along with Dover and state police.
Among officials, there is a strong sense of mission to find Marriott's remains, as there would be in any other case, Young said.
"The law enforcement community is very cognizant of the fact that there is a family out there that is grieving, who has anguish in their hearts," she said. "(Officials) are doing everything they can to bring their child and sibling home."
Young declined to comment on information obtained by Foster's that Marriott's death was tied to a sexual encounter.
Anyone with information pertaining to Marriott's death is urged to contact Dover police at 603-742-4646 or the New Hampshire State Police at 603-271-3636.
A gathering to remember Marriott is planned for Thursday at 12:30 p.m. in front of Thompson Hall at the UNH campus in Durham. The university planned to hold a forum on its master plan at that time, but the event will instead start at 1:15 p.m., in the Huddleston Hall ballroom.
