CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference
One Cause. One Voice.
Plan to attend the nation's capital for the 2014 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) to Unite for Good.
Rally for the powerful credit union cause and connect with leaders from across the United States.
CUNA GAC is the biggest week of the year for credit unions. More than 4,000 credit union people come together to:
• Hear from influential legislators, policymakers and credit union experts on the political landscape and its effect on credit unions
• Identify new strategies for building and maintaining America's awareness and trust
• Network with credit union leaders
• Attend breakout sessions on the hottest issues in the movement
• Tour the largest vendor showcase in the financial services industry
• Tell Congress our story at state Hike the Hill visits
Please wait for word from Kelly Fuhlbrigge for registration information!
This past year, CUNA and the leagues launched a shared strategic vision for credit unions nationwide: Americans choose credit unions as their best financial partner.
To make our vision a reality, we must come together to remove barriers – like the threat to the credit union tax status – create awareness and foster service excellence. We all need to Unite for Good.
We have an opportunity to accomplish a lot for the movement this year, and need your involvement to make it happen. Come to Washington, D.C. to tell our shared story and protect the credit union difference.
The Compliance Network is a group of CEOs and compliance professionals gathering once a quarter to discuss pertinent issues from a regulatory standpoint. The meetings are facilitated by Judy Britt, League Training and Compliance Coordinator. Attorney Jay Hershman will join us as subject matter expert and participant, providing great opportunity to challenge our understanding of the issues discussed at the meetings. This networking provides an opportunity to share best practices and exchange ideas on meeting the ever growing compliance expectations. You are encouraged to come to one or all the meetings. We look forward to seeing you!
The date for the first networking meeting is February 25th.
Fill out this form and send to Sue O'Loughlin at firstname.lastname@example.com to register.
Click here for the February 25th Agenda
CULCT's Strategic Partner Cooperative Systems is back to provide an update to one of last year's more popular sessions on Cybercrime. Presenters will provide an overview of the current environment, what issues are trending and what the credit union can do to ensure they take necessary measures to protect the credit union.
In 2013 the League surveyed credit unions on areas of collaborative interest. The primary area of interest involved IT solutions. We reached out to our Strategic Partner Cooperative Systems and asked them if they would be interested in creating a pricing schedule based on multi-credit union collaboration. This meeting is the beginning of that collaboration discussion. Any credit union that is interested in participating in an IT package collaboration is invited to attend this meeting, which will provide an overview of the concept and look at what the next steps in the process may be.
One Session!
March 4th, League Education Center, Meriden

Pat Rollins: The pickerel are biting in November
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
When Mike dropped by with his tin boat in the back of his pickup I knew he was itching to get in one more fishing trip before winter weather gripped the area. It was warm outside, feeling more like a late spring day than the middle of November. It made you feel like going fishing and before my buddy even asked if I was interested in joining him, I emerged from the garage with tackle box and rods in hand.

You know I was looking at the wrong place on Google Earth, for some reason I was looking at Pacific Palms and couldn't work out why I couldn't see the lake/sandbar etc. (Der me) Anyway now I have woken up and although Google Earth is not too helpful I can see the location which is great.
Don't worry too much if you don't get the photos on, I do love piccies though!
Now just to decide between there and the Big 4 in Forster, I hate decisions!
Big4 = guaranteed pretty good for kids (ie. playground/pool)
Sandbar = little more bushy/walk to lake/beach and heaps cheaper
mmmmmmm sorry thinking aloud Was there much wildlife at Sandbar? Birds, roos, possums??? Thanks so much, sorry for quizzing you!!

NFC / EMV Test
Near Field Communication (NFC) standards cover communication protocols and data exchange formats, and are based on existing short range RFID HF technologies working at 13.56 MHz. The number of NFC enabled devices continues to grow with hundreds-of-millions available in the market. NFC products appear in many form factors; smartphones and point-of-sales terminals, consumer-electronics such as portable speakers, headphones, remote controllers and health devices. While many applications benefit from NFC's added value, electronic payments are becoming consumer-mainstream. There are many commercial contactless card payment deployments worldwide with smartphones and electronic-wallet trials and deployments also emerging. To make these applications successful, it is necessary to test conformance and interoperability with NFC/contactless infrastructure. Industry bodies such as ISO, EMVCo, NFC Forum and GSMA are developing and maintaining programs to ensure device conformance and interoperability.
Payment schemes have incorporated contactless technology as a fast and secure method for transactions. EMVTM contactless payment standards share a common ISO technical foundation to NFC mobile devices. The payment industry has develop their own EMV Level 1 standards which leverage existing ISO 14443 Type A and B technologies. EMV standards enable type-approval of Cards, Terminals and Mobile devices.
The NFC Forum has also completed technical and test specifications that enable developers to successfully test and certify their NFC devices in Card Emulation Mode, Reader / Writer or Peer to Peer modes. The NFC Forum liaises with the payment industry to align test plans and base its technology on common ISO proximity and vicinity standards.
In cooperation with its partner FIME, Keysight offers NFC and EMV conformance test tools. FIME test bench, based in Keysight's NFC Test Set, is qualified for EMV Level 1 PICC/Mobile RF certification test.
As a world leader in test and measurement solutions, Keysight Technologies offers an extensive set of modeling, development and test tools to help ensure the quality of systems and components. Accelerate Wireless Design and Test with Flexible, High-Performance Platforms

Half inch mini-blinds aren't sold in stores these days, and that was what I needed for my southwest facing living room windows of this garden-style condo to control sunlight and privacy. The color matches the off-white paint and drapery for a nice clean look in this small space. I installed them myself with the very clear directions with no problem.View this product

The problem with using niceness is that linux tends not to pay too much attention to it (according to google).
BFS is optimized for real use, not for throwing -j512 kernel builds at it. If you really intend to run such a massive workload (why?), you would run it SCHED_IDLEPRIO or nice 19 (or both). If you have written a new scheduler, posting information about how it handles -j128 "better" than the others says absolutely nothing about the merit of that scheduler. The only thing it says is that it handles something no one needs but doesn't say anything about how it handles stuff people actually *do* need.

The problem with using niceness is that linux tends not to pay too much attention to it (according to google).
If you are going to compare schedulers, you should do it using realistic loads, ranging from none and light to very heavy. You should not compare them using nonsensical loads.
With that thinking, people would patch schedulers to run -j2048, and then higher. What then? There is simply no benefit in comparing schedulers on how "well" they run ridiculous loads. Even worse, some people will draw faulty conclusions.
Eventually RIFS use it's simple algorithum to detect whether the task is a user-interactive task or a batch task.
I admit using shell more can make your typing speed faster. ;-)

Time To Get Fit
The rise of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease in the United States and in our region threatens the health and well-being of individuals and their families and the upward-spiraling cost of health care to them and their employers.
A welcome tool in the fight for fitness is the Four Seasons YMCA, which opens this week. Victor Hugo said "There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come." The new wellness center is just such an idea, now made reality thanks to the determination of visionaries who long ago saw the benefits of fitness for our community. The Y is open to all on a sliding fee scale and should be a real boon to everyone interested in building and maintaining good health.
To round out the tools in your arsenal for fitness, the Library offers a number of books on diet, nutrition, exercise, and disease prevention. Check out this sampler of new titles:
In "Garden Your Way to Health and Fitness: exercise plans, injury prevention, ergonomic designs", Bunny Guinness explains the therapeutic benefits of one of America's favorite pastimes.
"Breast Cancer Survivors Fitness Plan: retain health, regain strength, live longer" is a helpful guide for cancer patients.
Walter H. Ettinger, a doctor and professor at the University of Massachusetts, has written "Fitness After 50: add years to your life and life to your years". This is a manual for what to ask your doctor about physical activity, how to exercise safely, how to fit exercise into a busy schedule, with plentiful patient stories and good photographs.
Today Show and other talk show watchers may have caught Rip Esselstyn talking about "The Engine 2 Diet: the Texas firefighter's 28-day save-your-life plan that lowers cholesterol and burns away the pounds". An Olympic athlete, now turned firefighter, Esselstyn serves up a rich plant-based regimen to his Texas firehouse crew and has lowered cholesterol and weight and made vegetarian believers of his co-workers. To be successful in maintaining long-term weight loss and fitness, we must attend to both nutrition and exercise. Rip includes a number of do-able exercises to complement his diet program.
Esselstyn knows whereof he writes. His father, Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., also an Olympic gold medalist, is a surgeon, clinician, and researcher at The Cleveland Clinic. He is the author of "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: the revolutionary, scientifically proven nutrition-based cure", which includes medical rationale for eating a plant-based diet as well as recipes developed by his wife, Ann Crile Esselstyn, a registered nurse. They have followed a plant-based diet for more than 20 years.
David Zinczenko, editor of Men's Health and author of "Eat This Not That", has also written "The Abs Diet for Women", which includes recipes and a substantial and varied array of exercise recommendations.
An older (2001) book on nutrition worth reading is Walter C. Willett's "Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy: the Harvard Medical School guide to healthy eating". Willett is a long-time researcher and professor and developed his own food pyramid for healthy eating.
Every season brings a new slew of celebrity-authored diet books with not much more than a name and maybe a gimmick to sell them. The Library provides some of these, too. But the best advice for maintaining fitness is probably to simply eat a healthy, well-balanced diet of moderate proportions, and to get 30-60 minutes of exercise daily. You can find lots of good recipes in cookbooks and diet books, as well as fitness guides, at the Library, and an excellent environment for exercise to meet all needs and interests at the Four Seasons YMCA. For more information, visit the Library at www.tcplweb.org and the Y at www.FSYMCA.org
The tools and the power to build fitness are there for you. Here's to your health!

Yosemite and the National Parks
Yosemite National Park became an official entity 120 years ago, October 1, 1890, when Congress enacted legislation creating it.
Yosemite was not the first national park (Yellowstone was established in 1872) but it gave birth to the idea of the National Park system when Congress created the Yosemite Grant, which Abraham Lincoln signed into law in June 1864. The Grant, which set aside land for preservation and recreation, was the first public park to be administered by a state government. It evolved into the National Park as a result of the work of naturalist John Muir, who recognized the need for federal protection from overuse by tourists and homesteaders.
Located in east central California, roughly halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Yosemite is famous for its glaciated towering granite cliffs, dramatic waterfalls, rock climbing events, and the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias. It is the setting of Ansel Adams' most well-known photographic images. (For examples, see Ansel Adams: classic images by James Alinder.) In 1984, Yosemite became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The history of the founding of Yosemite National Park is told in fascinating detail in Ken Burns' documentary, "The National Parks: America's Best Idea" and in Dayton Duncan's book of the same title. Both the film on DVD and the book are available in the library's collection. Whether you have visited a national park once, a dozen times, or never, this film will surely whet your appetite to go (again) as soon as possible.
To get the most of your visit to a national park, we recommend viewing Burns' documentary and investigating some of the following books first.
National Geographic's Complete national parks of the United States by Mel White offers basic information for travelers about the significance of each park, location, what to see and how to plan a visit. It is a comprehensive resource featuring more than 400 parks, monuments, battlefields, historic sites, scenic trails, recreation areas, and seashores.
Stewart Udall, former Secretary of the Interior, wrote the centennial edition of The National Parks of America nearly 40 years ago. In it, he shares a history and description of each park featured, including Yosemite, in well-written prose. The name Yosemite comes from the U-zu-ma-ti Indians who lived there, and the name Ahwahnee, given to the lodge, comes from a particular tribe and means "deep grassy valley in the heart of the sky mountains". Udall, who cast a striking image in an interview in Burns' documentary, died in March at the age of 90.
Nevada Barr writes the atmospheric mystery series featuring National Park Ranger Anna Pigeon as the sleuth. In High Country, Anna is sent in to work undercover as a waitress at Yosemite's historic Ahwahnee Hotel, to find out what happened to four missing Yosemite employees. Rooming with 20-something staffers sets her up for some amusing encounters as well as the chance to hear park gossip, including rumors of a gold mine in the park. Eventually, Anna has information that sends her on a trek deep into the park in winter, away from the relative protection of Yosemite Valley and into harm's way in the remote Sierra Nevadas. Viciously attacked by poachers, Anna flees into the terrifying darkness for an ordeal that will keep readers eagerly turning the pages.
A former park ranger herself, Barr has a gift for writing about the outdoor world, using the natural elements of the park as camouflage for the violent life in the wild as well as among the park's human caretakers. She has taken Anna Pigeon to several parks to solve crimes and, although it is not her intent to set a mystery in each park, it is worth checking to see if Anna appears in the park you plan to visit.
In No Regrets: 101 fabulous things to do before you're too old, married, or pregnant, Sarah Ivens recommends taking a deep breath at Yosemite National Park to stay sane in this hectic world.
John Muir, who devoted his life to preserving Yosemite and other natural places, said much the same thing when he wrote "Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike. This natural beauty-hunger is made manifest . . . in our magnificent National Parks—Nature's sublime wonderlands, the admiration and joy of the world."
Edwin Way Teale edited The Wilderness World of John Muir, a selection of his writings, including much about Yosemite. Responsible for the founding of several national parks, Muir (1838-1914) also founded the Sierra Club and served as its president until his death and was one of America's most important conservationists. Kirkus Reviews said that this collection provides "reading that is often magnificent, thrilling, exciting, breathtaking, and awe-inspiring".

UM's Holloway trades basketball for football
Ole Miss basketball standout signs with Ravens
Murphy Holloway just finished a standout college career with Mississippi's basketball team. Now he's trying to make the switch to professional football.
The 6-foot-6, 240-pound Holloway was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens soon after the NFL draft ended on Saturday. His sure hands and athleticism allowed him to become the Rebels' all-time leader in career rebounds. He hopes that skill set can allow him to develop into an NFL-caliber tight end.
Holloway hasn't played football since early in his high school days. But he said several NFL teams -- including the Kansas City Chiefs, Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles -- showed interest in signing him before he settled on a contract with the Ravens.

Austyn Bruce, age 4, seen here with his dad, Paul, managed to land a 24" pickerel early in the Milton Winter Carnival fish derby. He won the junior prize for largest and the first fish caught. Even Thompson, with a 9" perch, won the smallest fish prize. Steve Sprague took the adult trophy and a $50 Red Hook Brewery gift certificate, with an 18" pickerel. Heather Allen hooked the first adult fish, a 9" perch, and Michael Parth hooked the smallest, a 6" perch.

Not me, that's for sure.
But I am suggesting that nVidia's blob is better than fglrx at the moment.
Perhaps you should start a thread along the lines of "Who's the more open source friendly? AMD or nVidia"
Who's open and who's blob is the best. Two completely different issues.
Trust me nvidia is not doing that well for a while now either. With the last year or so of driver updates my system has gotten slower. The most recent drivers seem to have some kind of issue with xinerama also where the mouse gets stuck between screens even if all the screens are set as RightOf.
I am waiting for the fglrx to support eyefinity on their eyefinity 6 cards so I can get rid of the nvidia cards. I have a two card system running 4 monitors.
So just because nvidia is working for you and fglrx is not does not mean that one driver is better then another. You just may not have one of the setups that causes so many problems with one or another.
I definitely want to get off of xinerama and eyefinity seems to be the best option for that.
- video acceleration on evergreen: no way, in short term at least.
- Better 2d: Maybe, but not a great big deal for a normal user unless you use emulators.
- Wine 100% working: no way. But wine fglrx-wine has improved a lot during 2009 - 2010.
- No tear on video: Maybe, but U have the gl alternative using mplayer.
- No plp complaining on an ati linux support forum: No way, there will be always plp complainig, sometimes someone new to linux or new to ati hardware, and sometimes real problems too. Anyway, why do you not read more to the more experienced ati linux users before always reading about others problems.
And please, meanwhile you are waiting your fears for ati disappears, stop bashing fglrx. Users who post on this forum are looking for ati users advice , and not for "future ati users with fears" advise.
If it's more common to have issues with fglrx than with nVidia's blob then I think that's pretty important to note.
When it comes to Xinerama there's nothing wrong with saying either nVidia's blob or fglrx will provide a less than perfect experience with it. But if Xinerama's broken in some way then no-ones driver's going to be very happy with it. The xorg guys do work on Xinerama but I'm not sure if providing compatibility with a compositor amongst other things is on their radar at the moment.
Eyefinity does provide a path for completely avoiding it though and is the single biggest reason for me wanting an AMD card.
If fglrx works really well but is a pain to setup that's one thing.
If once setup in the most perfect way and it still has issues, then that's a completely different kettle of fish.
If however you don't want to hear about fglrx's weaknesses then I can understand you wanting anyone with anything bad to say about it to leave.
Both nVidias blob and fglrx have weaknesses. This is a forum about Linux and graphics and stuff. I would think a broad discussion of the issues when running Linux on PC hardware is warranted. If you want a sanitised discussion then maybe amdfanboi.com is a better place for you.
phoronix is for bashing AMD, nvnews is for bashing nvidia.

|Approximation on Closed Sets by Analytic or Meromorphic Solutions of Elliptic Equations and Applications
|Approximation on Closed Sets by Analytic or Meromorphic Solutions of Elliptic Equations and Applications
Given a homogeneous elliptic partial differential operator $L$ with constant complex coefficients and a class of functions (jet-distributions) which are defined on a (relatively) closed subset of a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbf{R}^n$ and which belong locally to a Banach space $V$, we consider the problem of approximating in the norm of $V$ the functions in this class by ``analytic'' and ``meromorphic'' solutions of the equation $Lu=0$. We establish new Roth, Arakelyan (including tangential) and Carleman type theorems for a large class of Banach spaces $V$ and operators $L$. Important applications to boundary value problems of solutions of homogeneous elliptic partial differential equations are obtained, including the solution of a generalized Dirichlet problem.
Keywords:approximation on closed sets, elliptic operator, strongly elliptic operator, $L$-meromorphic and $L$-analytic functions, localization operator, Banach space of distributions, Dirichlet problem

This amuses me, for two reasons. One, they happen to be right in this case - Fehr doesn't negotiate. He bullies, litigates and outsmarts the other side but negotiating isn't in his vocabulary. Baseball needed freaking Congress to get involved just to get real drug testing, never mind splitting billions of dollars.
Yeah, because owners should just be able to throw things into a CBA without negotiating it with the union. Forget about the whole collective, or bargaining, or agreement part - just jam it in. Why not unilaterally impose a salary cap?
The owners got rich off players using steroids too, they can deny it all they want, they didn't see fit to institute drug testing in 2002 for some reason. Never mind the open use of methamphetamines that Jim Bouton jokes about in Ball Four, a book written in 1970.
In general though, BOTH sides are full of **it. Acting like only one side lies and plays PR games is like Republicans saying the Dems won't compromise and are scoundrels without acknowledging they pull the same crap too and vice-versa. I'm just tired of all these stupid PR games that nobody gives a crap about. Stop posturing and start negotiating.
The players side has done their share of spinning and people like Allan Walsh and some of the players sound incredibly idiotic. Regardless, the owners are asking that a league generating record revenues ask for player paycuts across the board.
The charade being played by both sides is so obvious and sickening, neither one can be looked at favorably in these negotiations any longer. Pretty much, they both have been steadfast in their positions and are simply waiting for the other side to break. Neither side seems willing to actually negotiate in good faith at this point, which is the most frustrating part.
I am completely past the point of caring about this process any longer. Someone call me when its over.
You're incorrect, although not caring is a good and healthy move. The sides want to make it look like they are nowhere close to an agreement but they are way, way closer than they were on September 15th.

The sales representatives at Designs by Kate (DBK) sell private label jewelry at hosted parties and through online social media channels. They are also responsible for recruiting, training, and managing new sales reps. CEO and founder Kate Creevey designed the commission plan to encourage sales reps to build teams and become "leaders" for their teams. The strategy has been very successful over the company's first five years. Now the CEO is concerned that growth in top-line revenue is slowing, possibly due to an unwillingness by current sales representatives to build and manage their own sales teams. A survey reveals that many sales reps believe their incomes from jewelry sales decline when they add members to their sales teams due to increased competition for hosting parties within the same geographic area. The CEO must revisit the commission structure to determine if it is still an effective incentive. The case includes a quantitative assignment that students should complete as part of case analysis.
learning objective:
1. Understand the importance of the perceptions of incentives by sales representatives and the effect these perceptions can have on company performance. 2. Explore the use of compensation structure as a motivational tool for maximizing key financial objectives. 3. Understand the value proposition associated with a direct sales model.
subjects covered:
Compensation; Consumer marketing; Direct sales; Incentive programs; Incentives; Marketing management; Marketing strategy; Personal selling; Sales compensation; Sales force management; Sales organization

Cloudy, rainy days can be expected at any time of year, and light rainfall is common. On the whole the weather in Amsterdam is very changeable, and even in mid-summer visitors should be prepared for sudden drops in temperature. Spring and autumn in particular are unpredictable. The best time to visit Amsterdam is spring (March to May), although summer is the peak tourist season and can be crowded. Amsterdam is considered a year-round destination and some travellers prefer to visit in autumn or winter, when the city is at its cheapest and least crowded.

America's Army: Proving Grounds
America's Army Overview
America's Army is a tactical MMOFPS released by the U.S Army. The most recent version of the game was made using the Unreal 3 engine and has an interface similar to other shooting games. What sets AA apart from rivals is its emphasis on realistic, team-oriented gameplay. Players must chose between four roles at the start of a mission and work closely with their teammates to accomplish their mission objectives. The game has quite a few maps and each comes in three modes ranging from 'VIP Escort' to 'Secure and Defend.'
Rifleman - The basic soldier of the Army. Riflemen are versatile and have a large range of equipment options.
Automatic Rifleman - Armed with a M249 SAW, the Auto Rifleman is capable of firing off a large number of rounds at a rapid rate.
Grenadier - Armed with an M16A4 and a M320 grenade launcher, these soldiers provide explosive support fire from medium to long distance.
Squad Designated Marksman – While not a sniper, the SDM engages targets further away than other riflemen with a specially designed M16A4 DMR.

America's Army: Proving Grounds – First Look
America's Army: Proving Grounds Review
By Jordan Hall (ApocaRUFF)
America's Army: Proving Grounds is the next installment in the America's Army franchise, which is developed and published by the actual U.S. Army. It is available on Steam and, like all previous versions of the game, is completely free. Proving Grounds is aimed to be a small-squad focused experience with 6v6 and 12v12 matches taking place in urban environments. As you might imagine, a platform that has been used to train actual soldiers in virtual environments has a lot of realism in it, and you'll be going down with one or two shots if you're not careful. It is this focus on communication, tactics, and realism along with the completely and truly free to play model that has given the America's Army series a great amount of respect in the FPS community.
At the start of each round you are able to choose from all the available weapons and equipment. Currently, that is all the customization that is offered, but more may be available in the future. There is an advancement system in the game, but I do not yet know if this will be used to unlock unique looks, weapons, or other equipment. I do know, however, that everything put in the game will be available to everyone at no charge, which is quite nice. Normally, in 2013, I would expect quite a lot of customization available, even in an FPS, but I can't quite complain as this game is completely free and I honestly don't care to paint my guns or make my character look like a clown.
The graphics in America's Army: Proving Grounds is a nice step-up from America's Army 3, which was already nice to begin with. The higher quality textures make a huge difference, especially when added with the nice smoke and light affects. Don't get me wrong, the graphics aren't as impressive as a title like Battlefield 3 (or 4), but they are more than decent for a free to play game. The urban maps that are available are well designed and are interesting to explore. Part of the fun of Proving Grounds is learning all the ins-and-outs of the maps to find the perfect spots to snipe or ambush the enemy team.
The controls in Proving Grounds are your standard FPS control scheme. WASD to move, left mouse button to shoot, right mouse button to aim, G for grade, C for crouch, etc… If you've played any other FPS ever, you will pick up these controls very fast. There are some nice intuitive effects that have been added. For example, if you sprint and then press C, you will slide into a crouch, making your escape to cover much quicker and safer. This is something that came naturally and I made a lot of use of it. Overall I am very pleased with the controls.
I'm a bit mixed here. Generally, at least with my experience with past America's Army games, AA tends to attract more mature audiences. However, with the new CoD-generation of FPS gamers joining into a mixing pot with F2P Steam users, a branch of younger gamers are starting to flow in with much more offensive demeaners. For example, in the very first game I joined, I immediately heard someone who sounded somewhere between the ages of twelve and fourteen cursing out one of their team members because they didn't perform as well as they thought they should, despite the person doing the yelling having died quite a bit earlier and had essentially done more towards the team losing than the person being yelled at. However, I did find that most of the people in the match were mature and were more focused on working together to complete the objective than playing the blame game.
America's Army: Proving Grounds is a fairly standard FPS experience, but with a more tactical twist. As I've said earlier in the review, you'll be working with your teammates more than you would in similar titles. Lone Wolfing is a quick trip to being taken out of the game, and working together is the key to success. The two biggest factors that play into creating this tactical and cooperative experience are the built-in voice communication and the fact that you do not die immediately after you are taken down. You can still be revived by your teammates, or 'secured' by the enemy to take you completely out of the round.
The maps have been designed for tactics to come into play with every turn. You won't get far if you try to just run at the enemy team with your assault rifle. You won't be jumping around and shooting, either. No, if you want to do well you will need to go slow, use cover and be smart about what you do. Taking care to make sure you aren't making too much noise or exposing a part of your body to an enemy sniper. At the same time, you will be communicating with your team to coordinate your attacks, reviving those that fall so they can stay in the round and continue to help you, and securing your enemies so they won't be able to come back and bite you in the butt when you least expect it.
Game modes are pretty simple. Essentially it comes down to capturing something or taking down and securing the whole enemy team. My favorite game mode was a variation of Capture the Flag, which Proving Grounds has given a few unique twists. As a result, it felt a lot more tactical than what I was used to from other FPS with CTF. I'm used to just going for a mad rush at the flag and then trying to get out ASAP. That won't work here, fortunately.
Realism is important to the folks in the U.S. Army, or at least I get the impression. Combat and situational awareness is probably the most important thing to learn. The sounds of enemy gunfire or footsteps, the muzzle flare when someone shoots, or using smoke screens and flashbangs are all important. You will go down with one or two shots in most cases, so you have to be extremely careful with where you go. You might think it's OK to sprint across a room with a large window, but more likely than not you'll get sniped, or alert enemies to where you are so they can ambush you around the next bend.
Verdict: Great
America's Army: Proving Grounds is shaping up to be a very fun FPS. The fact that it is completely free to play is a major plus, especially when you consider the quality you're getting. There won't be any cash shops for you to waste your money on, only a fair environment where you can test your skills. The tactical gameplay is a refreshing change from the usual mindless twitch-fest that most FPS games have become, too. If you're looking for a modern tactical FPS, fire up Steam and download America's Army: Proving Grounds today and you won't be disappointed.
Review of Previous Version:
America's Army Review
By Erhan Altay
America's Army is one of the most interesting video games ever to be created, not so much because of the game itself but the story surrounding it. The game was originally developed and published by the U.S. Army to bolster the Army's image and increase recruitment . To date there have been over 26 versions with the first being 'America's Army: Recon' released back in July 4, 2002. Since that time the game has been refined and published on various platforms including Xbox, Xbox 360, and even mobile devices. The most recent version of the game, and the one we'll be discussing here is America's Army 3, (AA3 for short) which was released on June 17, 2009 for the PC.[SinglePic not found]
Two Paths to Recruitment
Ever since its conception, America's Army has had connection and distribution issues. To remedy this problem with the latest version, the Army has turned to Steam; a digital distribution system run by Valve. Players can chose to download and launch the game through Steam which also keeps the game fully updated at all times. Alternatively, prospective soldiers can stick with the traditional method of downloading the client separately and running the game on the America's Army Deploy Client. My suggestion is to go with to Steam option, since it is already popular among gamers and has a proven track record. Whichever option you go with, America's Army requires players to register a separate AA. Those who have an America's Army 2.0 account have the option of entering it during account creation to receive bonuses, but there is no way of moving your records or characters over to the new version. Character creation is a simple process which involves selecting one of fourteen avatars with no appearance customization beyond that.[SinglePic not found]
Boot Camp 2.0
Anyone whose played any of the earlier versions of America's Army knows how much emphasis was placed on single-player training missions. Previous versions didn't even allow gamers to play multiplayer matches until they passed several target practice courses. Luckily, the new version expedites the process significantly. No training is required to play online, though there are training courses available that must be passed to play some of the more advanced roles. Since there is no formal tutorial, I'll talk a bit about the first training course. The training mission is set up as a timed obstacle course that involves shooting targets, using grenades, and so on. Each time the player misses or shoots a friendly target, additional time is added to the final timer. The course is broken down into two segments and the activities you are required to perform in them is self explanatory. The only part I had repeated trouble with was the medical dummy. The game gives a symptom such as 'has pale skin' and based on this players must chose the right treatment out of a choice of four. I failed this test twice which added a whopping 1 minute to my final time. Keep practicing and eventually you'll receive a satisfactory score on this course and be allowed to try more advanced training missions.[SinglePic not found]
No Respawns in Real Life
Like many FPS games, America's Army was built using the Unreal 3 engine. America's Army has the same basic controls and interface as other MMOFPS games including Combat Arms and Sudden Attack. So what sets this game apart? For starters, it's a tactical shooter rather than a frag fest. This means players can't run into the center of the map and start spraying while bunny hopping and strafing. America's Army is a teamwork oriented game where careless players find themselves dead in no time. There are no free-for-all modes in America's Army, all game modes pit two teams of players against one another on one of five maps. While the map selection may be a bit disappointing, the fact that each map supports three game modes and the fact that gamers can chose between four soldier roles helps keep things interesting. The four 'roles' or classes in AA3 are Rifleman, Automatic Rifleman, Grenadier, and Squad Designated Marksmen. All of these roles can be played by new players except the SDM, which requires high marks on the marksman training missions. While there are around eight game modes ranging from escort missions to secure & hold, most of the time rounds are won simply by killing all members of the opposing team. Just like in Counter Strike and certain modes in War Rock, players do not 'respawn' after they die, they must wait until the round is over before being able to play again. The game keeps track of every bullet you fire, every kill you register, and every death you suffer. A high score and acts of heroism earn players achievements and higher ranks which are based on real Army ranks such as staff sergeant, corporal, and so on.[SinglePic not found]
Punk Busters
Though most free-to-play games use GameGuard or Hackshield, America's Army relies on punkbuster as its anti-cheat mechanism. This is probably due to the Western origins of the game, as opposed to the mostly Asian FPS games we've seen recently such as Sudden Attack or WolfTeam. Punkbuster gave me some trouble during my first multiplayer match, which caused the game to crash, but since then I've had no problems. I'm not sure what caused the initial crash, but hopefully it won't occur again. It is possible to play on servers with punkbuster turned off, but there's really no point to it since they're infested with cheaters. Another point worth mentioning about America's Army is that the game entirely free-to-play. The U.S. Army didn't create the game to turn a dime, it was mainly a publicity stunt aimed at increasing recruitment numbers by making the army look like a cool, modern career path. I'm not sure how it has succeeded on that front, but the fact there is no cash shop or other optional costs involved makes the game that much better.
Final Verdict: Good
America's Army is not your ordinary MMOFPS; gameplay requires a high degree of tactics and cooperation. Unfortunately, a steep learning curve and unimpressive graphics keep AA3 from being all it can be. The game may well be worth a download if only for the sheer novelty value.

It's such a shame that Foot Locker is no longer taking pre-order for Jordan releases because of Nike Canada's new policy.

About Albania
Since 1992, the U.S. Government has delivered foreign aid to support Albania's development, stability and integration into Europe. U.S. aid has helped Albania transition from the most isolated and repressive communist state in Europe to a democracy with a market-oriented economy.
The current program works with the Government of Albania and the private sector on transformational reforms to strengthen democratic institutions and sustain economic growth. Specifically, USAID helps Albania to:
- Strengthen rule of law by building the skills of lawyers and judges, and ensuring that courts function properly
- Increase the ability of local governments to raise revenue and provide more effective services to citizens in areas ranging from health care to clean water
- Improve business competitiveness while strengthening the financial sector to better support economic development and financial security
