this was the same article posted here yesterday http://startupgrind.com/2012/04/exclusive-electronic-arts-set-to-lay-off-500-employees/ EA is denying it but time will tell http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/ea-denies-rumored-layoffs-claims-business-as-usual/ |
I'm pretty sure they didn't can the entire SWTOR development team. I'm sure other games and developers suffered as well. Voted worst company overall also didnt help their stocks any. I've always said I've noticed less population .....but i still enjoy the game and hope it remains for quite a while. No Star Wars MMO will ever fully live up to the expectation of fans of the IP. I think any MMO going under is a bad thing. How many of you can revel in loss is beyond me. There is plenty of shit out there to play.Pick one or go wank yourself silly in a corner somewhere while imagining your perfect mmo. |
Originally posted by Ecoces When i had read it I was I thought it was a little arsh but reading your comment helped me realise that even if it's really hard, you can only go so far with bad buisness. The crisis is putting everybody to hardship and it is only fair that paying customers get what they paid for. When you start to sell only packaging-hype-franchise it is unfair to fired the staff packing the boxes when nothing sell anymore. BUt it's also unfair to the customers that bought a superbe amazing game like EA advertise it. And it would appear that much of the product is not finished like it should have been for that money. It's like gambling with money from the bank, go has far as you can then release whatever has been created till here. But I think the point is that Fadedbomb is not happy for the layoff and that you should anger your comment to EA because nothing of this layoff got to do with SWTOR lovers or haters. It is just EA buisness practice that are bad and should be considered by any gamer bying a game with EA affilition on it. Which is about anything. Play Minecraft? Diablow 3, it sucks ... |
considering the abomination that was the Syndicate remake i hope they get in more shit and have to start selling their classic ips to people that will do them justice I would love a new Magic Carpet, Dungeon Keeper, Daoc, Wing Commander, populos, ultima etc.. Just not made by anyone who has anything to do with EA. |
Karma's a bitch. Sooner or later, she catches up to you. Looks like she finally caught up to EA's bullshit game design and anti consumer business practices. Good. I hope Activision is next. |

Originally posted by Sith2112 Why should he be concerned about them? He's not responsible for their job loss. They chose to associate themselves with a shitty company like EA. They've got nobody but themselves and their employer to blame for their sacking. This isn't the first time EA has done this nor is it the last. So, get off your high horse already. |
Originally posted by Boatsmate This is EXACTLY the problem in most companies where stuff goes wrong. Crap managers lay off the hard working staff, then move on to screw up something else. Seen it so many times :/ Anyway, the population on my server appears to have almost doubled since 1.2. The fleet is packed during peak times like it was at launch and we've had way over 100 people in the starting zones recently. Most likely they hired far to much people to start with, again, bad management at EA. |
Originally posted by paulytheb Taht sucks, I hate EA. They ahve screwed up so many things I loved. Madden - they took away other developers making football games. I use to lve the competition between madden and gameday or madden and joe montana or the sega products Burnout - Burnout was such a fun arcade racer. There was no better puzzle game that combined mayhem with tactis than the burnout mode in that game. SWTOR - this game needed another year of testing. Actual "game design", not story, didn't take place or was redeveloped when EA bought bioware in 2008. We got a game rushed to market to get in by christmas that is just enough to satisfy a handful of folk but not enough to keep subscribers and breakaway as a next generation game. Most of the budget went into |
Originally posted by Sith2112 The people who lost their jobs were well aware of what they were getting into when they made the choice to work for EA. I hate to be so straight forward about it, but that is all there is to it. Since starting college myself for Game Art I have heard from not just other students, but also counselors and even teachers about the way EA and Activision as well as several others tend to kick employees to the curb with not a second thought. There are places in the industry that are notorious for the poor treatment of employees, and EA happens to be at the top of the list and has been for years. (Did you not even hear about the EA Spouse business?) Considering the way EA treats its employees and the kind of reputation they have for it in the industry, you would have to be either extremely dense or just plain stupid to take a job at EA and not keep other options open. |
It's an industry where "business 101 man" makes the decisions and the hardworking brains of the operation are chewed up and spit out at their leisure. Actually, that's the case for a lot of IT/software-related jobs I would say. The words "job satisfaction" are a mystery to me... lol. Enter a whole new realm of challenge and adventure. |

Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow. |
Originally posted by Icewhite Unfortunately golden parachutes are not like unemployment. |
yeah like what most people have said in this thread already, this seems like a management issue. They counted their chickens before they hatched basically. Misinterpreted how SWTOR would do. They should have known that gamers would see their WoW clone game as a lazy attempt at milking the Star Wars franchise for as much as it's seemingly worth. Seems like they estimated it's worth far too much. And because the suits did that, the little guys who worked on the game get to pay for it with their jobs. I have to say that EA has had this coming, hopefully Capcom, and Activision are next. Maybe this will make way for gaming companies that actually care about their customer base like Arenanet and Runic Games. |
It is sad to say but I think that SWTOR will be going F2P reguardless of their patch SWTOR already has dying reputation and when I returned to give the game another try on the trial I didn't see many changes that wanted to keep me there let alone what I am hearing about the game now. SWTOR could have been a great game, I know this is a bit off topic but I remember back in the day when Red Alert, and Red Alert2 were around those were the days when these games were great, however then CNC Generals Came out, and all these other games and all of a sudden I noticed how EA started to decline from Mass Effect 3 to SWTOR, and everything in between. I would like to see SWTOR as a very good game, however I do not think that is possible unless the developers of the game all get on the ball work together add a ton of customization that should have been in the game to begin with and such otherwise the game is done for and I believe in the future this game will loose more subscribers more than likely on the release of Tera Online, Guild Wars 2, even FireFall, right now some people might think FireFall sucks, however it is being improved still in beta, and will more than likely beat SWTOR as in the end you are doing nothing but killing mobs grinding quests and while FireFall for example is just a shooter in the end thati s all SWTOR is is click Skill A B C D do damage or heal, nothing amazing nothing ground breaking. I don't like saying this but if you ever watched the show on television called Stupid In America, that is what I see We need game designers that can give people what they want. For example back between the early years of I would say up until 2005 we had game artists and designers that actually knew how to design and did a better Job, then came the F2P industry and all these games released being run by game companies and management that doesn't know what they are doing like I know it can be hard work to develop and design a game I don't expect it to be perfect but I expect it to improve over time and have decent features on release. I hope that SWTOR will improve because the way I see it EA is loosing money they are going to have to regain that money some how for the mistakes they made so maybe clearing house isn't such a bad idea find new people who can design and make a game better. |

Top 5 Tips for Compound Fractures
by Dr. David Wellman
It's World Trauma Day. Dr. David Wellman, Orthopedic Surgeon, explains what a compound fracture is and what you should do to treat this serious injury. "A 'compound' or 'open' fracture refers to a break in the bone with a laceration in the overlying skin, leaving the fracture fragments open to the outside environment. This is a very serious injury with potential long term consequences if not treated appropriately," says Dr. Wellman.
In the unfortunate event of a compound fracture, patients should remember the following tips:
1. A compound fracture is a true emergency, and appropriate care should be sought immediately. Usually, this involves calling the local emergency ambulance service to ensure that the patient is transferred safely to a hospital with an on-call orthopedic surgery team. In most situations, the patient will require an emergency surgical procedure to clean the wound and treat the fracture.
2. While waiting for care to arrive, the patient should not move around unnecessarily, because the fracture is open to the outside environment and could become infected. One of the major consequences of a compound fracture is an infection at the fracture site, which should be avoided at all costs.
3. One should not try to re-align the extremity where the bone is broken without the presence of trained medical personnel who have the proper splinting supplies. Improper handling could cause contamination of the wound and damage to the traumatized tissues.
4. Try to keep the extremity as clean as possible. Place moist sterile gauze over the wound if available. At a minimum, the wound should be protected from contact with the ground or unclean surfaces.
5. Pay attention to signs of compartment syndrome. This is a serious complication of extremity trauma that develops over time; it is caused when swelling increases pressure at the site of the injury. If the pressure from the swelling becomes greater than the incoming blood pressure, the extremity receives no blood. Immediate surgical intervention to release the pressure is required if this situation arises. In addition to swelling, warning signs include increasing pain, numbness, weakness, decreasing pulse, and a color change in the extremity. If not treated properly, compartment syndrome can lead to permanent muscle and nerve damage.

With post-concussion syndrome in the rear-view mirror (hopefully forever), Blues forward David Perron has signed a four-year, $15.25 million contract to remain in St. Louis. The 24-year-old's cap hit will be $3.8 million.
"I love the city of St. Louis and I'm thrilled to play in front of these awesome fans for another four years," Perron said in a release. "We had an excellent regular season but we all feel this team has so much more to accomplish."
The 26th selection in the 2007 draft missed over a year with concussion issues before finally returning on Dec. 3.
"We're excited to have David in the fold for the next four years," said Blues GM Doug Armstrong. "He made a great comeback by scoring 21 goals in 57 games. We're comfortable with his health, and we're confident that he will continue to build on his offense."
Armstrong's focus will now turn to locking up restricted free agent TJ Oshie. The 25-year-old filed for salary arbitration today, though it's possible for a deal to be struck before it gets to that.
The Blues remain under the cap floor.

one down, one more to go! the blues already said we wanted to lock up oshie for a few year deal, hopefully a deal gets done soon!
- bluesrawesome - Jul 5, 2012 at 6:31 PM
David is a beast i have a feeling tht if injury free next season he will have 60-70u points next season. He is one of my favorites to wear the not because of his passion for the game. He plays all the time out of the NHL just cant get enough of how nuch he loves the game. Its not a job for him its a passion

ø Ignore punkorangeGive me some pirate ideas to steal!
Okay, so I'm going to be starting a campaign soon using true20. It's going to be roughly based loosley on the PotC movie settings. The group will probably be a crew on a ship at the start of the campaign. I was just wondering what everyone else had done with pirate campaigns, what worked what didn't, what's fun and what's not.

What To Do With An Active Kid In The Summer. (Or, 5 Reasons I Highly Recommend Golf Lessons)
Before I had a child, I imagined that my (imaginary) kid would be a girl, like me, who enjoyed reading and art and sedentary activities because, like me, this child would have the athletic ability of a writer.
However, in real life, my (in reality) son is the most active person I've ever met. Instead of reading a book, he'd rather see how far he can kick it, or throw it, off the roof.
So planning summer activities that A.) engage my active son, and B.) don't kill me, is a bit difficult. I do what I can, but in reality, it's best for everyone if I outsource some of this active activity….a few hours of soccer camp here, a few swimming lessons there, and before we know it, it will be September. Right?
This whole action/reaction thing applies to vacations as well. Because on vacations, this is what I like to do:
And this is what Harry likes to do:
This is a problem.
But here's what: I've just recently discovered the beauty of the family resort. (Why has no one ever told me about this before?) See, there are these really smart family resort options out there…places that are created for ACTION! Or not. Whatever your preference might be. Think: the activities of a giant cruise ship without the seasickness or the pirates or whatever. And waaay more affordable…at least from what I've seen on both sides.
For starters, there are activity options everywhere. You're just walking down the path and bam, there's this:
Or this:
And then besides all the unexpected activities everywhere, there's usually a main attraction. In the case of the Westin Kierland Resort in Scottsdale, it's golf. Lots of golf.
In fact, we were completely surrounded by a beautiful golf course ready for action. ACTION! And my child was in heaven. While we were there, it unexpectedly turned into an inpromtu golf came and he took his first golf lesson, fulfilling a (6 year old) life dream. According to him, "I so learned how to play golf so awesome before the summer even really started!"
Check it.
And what was I doing? Well, this is about as close as I get to golf…
And it was delightful to watch all the activity from the sidelines.
Of course, after golf camp, one needs some R&R by the pool.
Thankfully, there were a number to choose from just a few steps away.
Which brings me back to my original idea of a vacation.
A big thanks to Westin Hotels & Resorts for sponsoring this campaign. Click here to see more of the discussion.

Under the leadership of Persha, Optec has grown from a small basement operation to a corporation employing 7 technicians, machinists, and sales staff. Optec's roots are founded strongly in astronomical research instrumentation with products such as the SSP line of solid-state photometers, photomultiplier tube and CCD photometers, the patented TCF- temperature compensated focuser and the recent addition of the Pyxis 3-inch, a high precision camera field rotator for large telescopes.
Optec has a support staff of many diverse and qualified individuals, who take great pride in their accomplishments at the company.
Optec maintains and uses the Optec Observatory, a small observatory and testing laboratory for Optec's astronomical product line. Using a Meade 10" LX200 telescope and CCD cameras from SBIG. In addition to the Optec SSP single channel photometer line, the Optec Observatory is fully computer controlled with separate control room and observing deck. Recent additions to the observatory now allow remote operations of the telescope, photometer, and CCD camera control software.
In addition to the astronomical product line, Optec designs and manufactures optical couplers for video/CCD microscopy, atmospheric visibility measuring instruments such as the Model LPV transmissometer and the NGN integrating nephelometer. These unique instruments are used to monitor the air quality in many of the national parks in the USA as part of the Improve Network.

Günther Beckstein (German pronunciation: [ˈɡʏntɐ ˈbɛkʃtaɪn]) (born November 23, 1943 in Hersbruck, Germany) is a Bavarian CSU politician and was Minister-President of Bavaria from 9 October 2007 to 27 October 2008. He is well known for his outspoken views on law and order.
After graduating from High School at the Willstätter Gymnasium in Nuremberg in 1962, he studied law at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. He holds a Ph.D. from Erlangen-Nürnberg University. In 1975, he wrote his dissertation Der Gewissenstäter im Strafrecht und Strafprozessrecht (The Delinquent of Conscience in Criminal Law and Trial Law) which lead to his Ph.D. Between 1971 and 1978, he worked as a lawyer.
Beckstein has been married to Marga Beckstein, a teacher, since 1973. They have three children: Ruth, Frank and Martin. Beckstein and his wife are residents of Nürnberg-Langwasser. He is a Protestant and an active church member.[1]
Political career[edit]
Beckstein started his political career as the district chairman of the Junge Union Nürnberg-Fürth (1973–1978) and then became vice chairman of the CSU district association Nürnberg-Fürth-Schwabach. In 1991, he acceded its chairmanship
A member of the Bavarian State Parliament, the Landtag, for the CSU since 1974, he became State Secretary at the Bavarian Ministry of Interior (Bayerisches Staatsministerium des Innern) in 1988. In 1993, he became the Interior Minister of Bavaria, succeeding Edmund Stoiber. In 2001, he was elected to the post of Deputy Minister-President of Bavaria.
Beckstein won seat in the Bundestag in the 2005 German federal elections but did not take up this position, preferring to stay in state politics.[1]
After Minister-President Edmund Stoiber had announced on January 18, 2007 to resign from his post in the autumn of 2007, the CSU Landtag fraction came to the arrangement for Beckstein to succeed Stoiber, after a power struggle with Erwin Huber,[2] selecting him with a vast majority.[3] On October 9, the Bavarian Landtag elected him as the new Minister-President by a majority of 122 of the 178 votes cast.
His rise to the post of Bavarian prime minister was something of a novelty in the state as he is from Franconia—the northern half of Bavaria—and a Protestant. Traditionally, though not exclusively, Bavarian prime ministers have been from Altbayern—the south—and Catholics.[2]
On 1 October 2008, following the Bavarian state elections of 28 September, where his party lost its absolute majority of the seats for the first time in 46 years, Beckstein resigned from his post[4] but remained in office until a new Minister-President was elected on 27 October.[5][6]
- Beckstein is an outspoken critic of the Church of Scientology.[7]
- He is a staunch supporter of Israel and has warned in the past of the danger of right-wing extremism and antisemitism. He has received the Jerusalem Prize of the Zionistische Organisation in Deutschland (Zionistin Organisation of Germany) in July 2006 for his efforts.[8]
- He has warned repeatedly of the dangers arising from Islamist extremists in Germany and has asked for greater powers for government security departments to deal with those. He was criticized for this by members of the SPD and German Muslims.[2]
- As the head of the Bavarian government, Beckstein had the final say on whether Hitler's Mein Kampf could be published in Germany, since Bavaria holds the copyrights. Beckstein disallowed any form of publication of the book in Germany, fearing it would fuel right-wing extremism.[9]
- Beckstein caused controversy in the run-up to Oktoberfest by declaring that people who drink two Maß of beer over several hours are fit to drive.

Released: May 01st, 2006
Running Time: 140
Director: El Greco
Company: Ultra Hard Films
Jordan Ray, Andrew (I), Kamila (I), Felix Vicious, Trista, Fiona, Others, Marissa Jayden, Jay Ashley
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Lord knows the porn biz has had its share of tongue-in-cheek productions, but rarely have they been quite so literal as Eat My Ass. Obviously, the best judge of its [potential] success is the retailer with excellent customer rapport. Woe to the unsuspecting viewer who might pick up the vid thinking that they're about to get an eyeful of delicate-as-a-kitten's winkie holes – only to be startled by this collection of babes chowing down on hairy dingleberry traps instead. (All the more shocked if they happen to own a big screen TV!)
Aside from male bung-tunggin? (of which there's more than enough) EMA2 is far from notable. With perfunctory sex and slim production values, Joe Average will have to be satisfied with the relatively fresh and very young-looking cast. Kamila opens the show freshly bound by rope, but that's as outré as it gets. Fiona's pale Goth appearance sets her apart from the other Valley chix, and she's moderately better in the sack as well.
Retailing: Crossover potential for jail-bait aficionados.

House Debates O&C Measure
The US House of Representatives debated a bill Thursday that would dramatically increase logging on federal forest lands in the Northwest.
The Restoring Healthy Forests for Healthy Communities Act affects national forests across the country. But it also includes provisions specific to the former railroad lands in Western Oregon known as the O&C lands. Oregon Representatives Peter DeFazio, Greg Walden and Kurt Schrader spoke on behalf of the bill. DeFazio stressed the need for a long term plan to provide for rural counties that have, for more than a century, relied on shared timber revenues to fund vital services.
DeFazio:"The federal government made a commitment to these counties a hundred years ago. Congress should honor that commitment."
But DeFazio also expressed concerns about the larger bill. The Congressional Budget Office has found the legislation would more than double the amount of timber the forest service sells each year. Wednesday, the White House budget office indicated that President Obama would likely veto the legislation if it reached him. The House is expected to vote on the measure on Friday.

Take a look > and see if it makes sense to you. Yes, I can easily understand what you mean, because this point was ever considered while writing this patch series. We pass the element list as opposed to a list_head for the head of the element list because we simply want to link the elements into pci_bus->resources in pci_create_bus(). This can be done by a single line: list_add_tail(&b->resources, &bus_res->list); In addition, if we need to do list_for_each_entry() on the list, our target should always be pci_bus->resources rather than the pci_bus_resource list which is passed into pci_create_bus() to be part (the meat) of pci_bus->resources.

dc.description.abstract | The complexity of human/riverine systems has led to an increasing focus on land use patterns and policy. My goal is to understand the dynamics of a coupled human and natural system. The central question is how people in the community of Scio, Oregon perceive flooding, water quality, and riparian habitat. I use the concept of cognitive models to identify and describe individual models of the environment, while cultural models explain and describe shared models of the environment. I utilize the ethnographic techniques of 22 semi-structured interviews, six months of participant observation, and a review of secondary data to identify cognitive and cultural models. I developed two hypotheses in order to approach the question of how people perceive flooding, water quality, and riparian habitat. The first hypothesis is that landowners who have high levels of risk perception and adaptability are more likely to respond to flooding, water quality, and riparian habitat. I found that even though landowners had high levels of risk perception the variable did not necessarily translate into action in the form of adaptability. The second hypothesis is that cognitive models have a pattern of variation that can be identified by land use. Although land use is a small-scale pattern, I found the more prevalent pattern of two shared cultural models to exist in the community of Scio, Oregon. The first model is characterized as human-centered, particularistic, short-term, locally relevant, stewardship focused, rural-oriented, and informed by experience. The second model is characterized as wildlife-centered, holistic, long-term, and informed by science. Local residents overwhelmingly aligned with the first model while agencies and scientists aligned with the second model. The pattern suggests a wide division between the understanding of local and scientific knowledge, therefore, I recommend a multi-objective management solution that mediates between local and scientific knowledge. | en_US |

Hunt Uses Low Voting Success to Rally Supporters at Post-Inauguration Lunch
After this morning's city council inauguration, Angela Hunt celebrated her third term with a lunch at the Stoneleigh Hotel, where approximately 100 invited guests watched her open a copy of today's Dallas Morning News. She read from Dave Levinthal's article about the council members' voting habits, and the crowd applauded as Hunt said she's dead last among her colleagues by voting on the winning side just 45.5 percent of the time. Sam Merten
Even more applause and a bow from Hunt followed when she added that she's also last at only 38.5 percent when voting on the same side as Mayor Tom Leppert. Of course, these numbers only represent roll call votes, which don't happen frequently, but they're telling nonetheless.
Highlighting the guest list were former council members Sandy Greyson, John Loza and Mitchell Rasansky and current council members Jerry Allen, Tennell Atkins and Delia Jasso. Atkins stressed that Hunt's voting record is not an indication of her ability to play nice with others, and then he instructed everyone to stand up for a toast.
Predictably, Hunt's comments moved quickly to the Trinity River Corridor Project, as she reiterated her Plan B to move forward with the levee improvements, Project Pegasus and improvements to S.M. Wright Freeway without the toll road.
"This project is best when it's focused on levee and safety improvements. It's best when it's focused on recreation and creating those gorgeous lakes," she said. "It's not so good when we're talking about putting millions and millions of tons of concrete in the middle of our floodway -- that's when it's not so good. And apparently the corps of engineers is a little more concerned about the safety of our floodway."
And the afternoon wouldn't have been complete without a shot at Leppert, as she cited comments from the inauguration implying those "not in love" with the toll road or financing for the hotel are "anti-Dallas."
"Loving this town means looking at every issue carefully and smartly and recognizing what it's gonna mean not just to our generation but to their children," she said.
Hunt also said she respected everyone's thoughts and opinions on the city's budget deficit and urged everyone to e-mail her any ideas because it's a "tough budget year."

Title: | On Some Gastrocotyline (Monogenoidean) Parasites of Indian Clupeoid Fishes, Including Three New Genera |
Author: | Unnithan, RV |
Date: | 1967-04 |
Publisher: | University of Hawai'i Press |
Citation: | Unnithan RV. 1967. On some gastrocotyline (monogenoidean) parasites of Indian clupeoid fishes, including three new genera. Pac Sci 21(2): 210-229. |
Abstract: | Seven species of monogenetic trematodes, including the two genotypes,
Engraulicola forcepopenis George, 1961 and Engrauliscobina thrissocles (Tripathi, 1959), are recorded. All seven of these atypical gastrocotylines belong to the subfamily Gastrocotylinae s.s. and are parasitic on clupeoid fishes. Four species in the present collection, viz., Engraulicola microph aryngella sp. n., Engraulixenus malabaricus gen. et sp. n., Engrauliphila grex gen. et sp. n., and Engrauliscobina triaptella sp. n., were collected from fishes of the family Engraulidae, while an entirely new type, Pellonicola elongata gen. et sp. n., was obtained from Clupeidae. The tendency to unilateral inhibition of the clamp rows is incomplete in all these atypical gastrocotylines, and all are characterised primarily by their clamp structure. Diagnostic characters, with special reference to the haptor (its adhesive units or clamps and anchors), the male terminalia, vaginal complex, and other salient features which appear to be taxonomically important, are given for each species. |

Dizzy Holiday
Santa Cruz's 'real deal' pays musical tribute to a vocal legend, the lady who sang the blues By Traci Hukill
The first thing you notice about Dizzy Burnett before she hops up on a stool behind her upright bass and starts singing the blues is that she's child-sized. Small-boned and energetic, with a shock of amber hair and enormous mournful brown eyes, she resembles a Daddy's girl who insisted on playing the biggest, best instrument she could imagine. All you can see of her once she starts playing are her irrepressible mass of hair, those expressive eyes and two small hands flying up and down the frets like precise birds.
The second thing you notice when she and longtime musical partner Grover Coe get down to business with a jaunt through "These Foolish Things" is her instantly likable voice. It's like raw silk--smooth enough to feel good, but roughed up in places with a pleasant, smoky nap that assures you Burnett's the real thing. It's just the kind of voice to pay a birthday tribute to blues great Billie Holiday.
But that comes later. Tonight the stage is simple--just Burnett and her upright behemoth, Coe and his hollow-bodied electric, and an amp. They plunk and croon their way through standards like "God Bless the Child" and "Makin' Whoopee," filling space between songs with easy, comfortable banter. When Coe sings the ironic, heartfelt "Alimony," a group of men at the bar roll their eyes and laugh knowingly. The two sing "Secret Agent Man." It's fun and relaxed.
"I'm sincere. I'm not a pretentious artist. I'm just doing what I feel is right," emphasizes Burnett several afternoons later over coffee.
The reticent Coe echoes the sentiment. "We're the real deal," he nods, a slight smile on his face.
Right now the "real deal" is funneling hours into the recording studio, getting ready for the final push to put a CD out in May. It's an intense collective effort the two find exhilarating, and Burnett makes no bones about it: More studio work is definitely in her vision of the future. So is travel, preferably a European tour of bistros--"I'm a bistro girl at heart," she winks--and more public gigs, like the upcoming Monterey Blues Festival in June.
But Brooklyn-born Burnett, née Laurie Ann, is less forthcoming about things past. Raised in a blue-collar family to whom music was always important, she spent enamored hours watching old movies of Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers and Rita Hayworth. That's where she first heard Billie Holiday, whose soundtracks crystallized the glamour of the '40s for her.
After an adolescence she only describes as "wild, but peace-loving," and during which she picked up the nickname Dizzy for the first time, she came to California and started playing music with her ex-husband. A completely different set of people dubbed her Dizzy again, and this time it stuck.
Then there was a stint with Del Rey ... and here she stops. She's tired of discussing the past. "It's like the message right now is 'Don't look back,' " she explains, a slight frown creasing her brow. "I'm growing like a weed right now. Every time I get up on stage it's like a new experience. I'm trying new tones, new phrasings. It's like I'm being pulled creatively."
Pulled toward Billie's birthday bash, apparently. "I love Billie Holiday. She's my first link to the jazz world," Burnett smiles, warming to the topic. "Ella [Fitzgerald] to me is like God. She's like the Bible ... but I feel more of an affinity with Billie Holiday because she's more vulnerable. I feel like a tribute is something I should do, something I want to do, and it always works out that--I do," she finishes simply with a laugh.
Maybe the next thing you notice after talking to Burnett for a while is that she's one determined lady, regardless of her size and nickname. And when it comes to singing the blues, it's certainly serving her well.

Seriously, bridgman, why do you still reply to the continuous trolling and moaning? Just ignore it.
Hi bridgman,
Thanks for your continued effort to post updates, clarifications, and (not least) answer back to the sometimes rough comments in these forums.
Though I'm currently "stuck" with the open source drivers for my X1600 Pro (until next month - finally building a new computer!), I really curious about the video acceleration potential in the official drivers. Can you give out any information on AMD's strategy for its implementation (even if only in "marketing-speak")? It would be nice to know if it's awaiting further testing or maybe legal issues holding it back..?

Seriously, bridgman, why do you still reply to the continuous trolling and moaning? Just ignore it.
Thanks for your answer. I hope that in the future this can be improved, but as you have said, it's not very useful if you do "support" the latest kernel and xorg, but in the end games and video don't work.
I stand corrected
But maybe it would be better if beta drivers could be made available to the public, allowing the distributions themselves to decide if they want to include them or not, instead of only giving priority to ubuntu releases that need a matching driver (openSUSE, mandriva, etc also need those drivers normally).
That'll be a pretty stupid thing to do. You can't just ignore complains. This isn't the place to rant about how the latest Star Trek movie sucked, most of the complains come from people who bought an AMD card and want to get the most out of it. Ignoring consumer complains is BAD. Even if you're not willing or able to do a damn thing about them, you have to give the impression that complains are heard.
I think what bridgman is doing is right. I disagree with the company's strategy regarding the proprietary drivers and their relationship with the upstream packages, but bridgman is almost always polite and makes the effort to reach out to the disgruntled consumers.
bridgman is responsible for open source community interaction only. That he's on friendly terms with other people and does answer a lot of proprietary stuff is a huge bonus.
Complaints without any proof (i.e steps to reproduce, etc) are ignored by the majority of companies.
Incorrect, the 8.66 driver is a formal release to Canonical. The Catalyst release that most people use is another formal release.
The model that AMD uses for engaging with supported distributions is two phase. Both phases are completed in conjunction with AMD and the distribution vendor.
Prior to the release of the distribution we will provide a driver that supports most of the features of the distribution. Then after the release of the distribution, we again work towards a followup release which knocks off high priority (from the distribution vendor - not necessarily the end users) bugs.
So for Jaunty, it was 8.60 and 8.632, for Karmic it is 8.66 and possibly 8.69(ish). The distribution packagers may pick up intermediate versions at their discretions, but the two distinguished versions are the ones that are effectively co-developed.
There's no support for my RS690M. Stupid assholes.

Nichushkin selection to Team Russia causing rift in leadership
Jan 11, 2014, 10:45 AM EDT
When Team Russia announced their roster for the 2014 Winter Olympics, Valeri Nichushkin's name being on it was a bit of a surprise.
After all, he's just 18 years old and he doesn't have a long history of international experience. According to a report from Russia, his selection has caused a bit of a rift between Team Russia's coach and GM.
Russian coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov said Nichushkin's inclusion was "an advanced payment" that he "must justify." In other words, it's a risky selection that had better pay off.
Team Russia's GM Alexei Yashin (yeah, him) views it differently.
"It's hard to talk about an advance payment. It's the wrong word," said Yashin, who played 850 career NHL games. "Nichushkin has earned the call to the Olympics with his game."
Nichushkin has nine goals and 22 points in his rookie season with the Stars. Yashin says his performance is reminiscent of rookie seasons from John Tavares and Sidney Crosby. You can't say he's not going to the wall for the guy he picked.
There's a lot of pressure for Russia to win big at the Olympics. They last won a medal in 2002 (bronze) and they were embarrassed by Canada when they were knocked out in 2010. Now that they're playing host, they want gold badly. If Nichushkin helps them do that, Yashin will look like a genius.
- esracerx46 - Jan 11, 2014 at 10:55 AM
For the Russians to win gold they need stellar goaltending and help from Tanya Harding. I just don't see being at home carrying them as far as a lot of people including Vegas think.
- icelovinbrotha215 - Jan 11, 2014 at 11:36 AM
I was surprised that Val was, essentially, selected over Semin. That being said, I think Russia's biggest concern is the back end and not the players up front.
- alexo0 - Jan 11, 2014 at 12:15 PM
If there's anyone who knows about justifying an advanced payment, it's Alexei Yashin.
- killerpgh - Jan 11, 2014 at 1:10 PM
It's crazy to think Yashin's buyout cap hit still counts against the Islanders until the 2015-16 season.
- jimeejohnson - Jan 11, 2014 at 12:24 PM
Russians want to win this more than anything. It will be difficult to stop them but if anyone can it will be a North American squad.
- hazlydose - Jan 11, 2014 at 3:46 PM

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
An efficient small volume accurate dialysis system has been designed, built and tested for proflavine binding to DNA based upon the side by side design used in the Franz diffusion cell. In a typical experiment 3 cm(3) of DNA solution is added to one side and 3 cm(3) of ligand to the other with a dialysis membrane between the two sides of 1 cm in diameter, thereby minimizing the area of dialysis membrane that the solutions are in contact with.

Thanks larinda, except the link has been removed and without it you can't hear the song... so no one can tell us what it is! Any way of bringing it back?
http://danceforums.com/threads/song-title-identification-thread.41399/page-2#post-974732 i see the video
Diego "El Pajaro" Riemer and Maria Belen Giachello, 5-5, Planetango 10 youtube com/watch?v=hYTeWx18B4c (sorry, the forum wont let me post the URL) Sounds very familar, but I want this version? Any thoughts?
hello i'm looking for the title of a tango tune danced in a movie starring Kim Novak,James Garner and Tony Randal. The tune is heard in a scene with Novak and Randal,where they dance a,from what i understand, is a tango,but i i'm no expert.i think its a tango.I tried movie sites,but nobody knows because the tune is not credited.The music in the movie is by songwriter -arranger FrankDeVol.Does anyone have any idea where i can get info about that tune?maybe someone expert in tangos?
thanks for your answer.As you can see in the clip at 1.08 Randal is dancing with Novak.There is a tango tune playing.Do you have any idea,who would know what tune is it?Is there a site of tango experts?i mean i have the clip with the tune in Mpeg and mp3 do you think anyone would recognize the music?
I really want to help you out, but all I hear at 1:08 in that video is a rather random, undefined fifties Hollywood film song.
thanks for trying to help.No,i didt mean the above clip.I have the clip,its a couple minutes.If you know about tangos,i can send it you in mp3 its only 2.5mb. i have it uploaded at mediafire,but i cant post a link because i dont have 10 messages here yet.It doesnt let me give the link.
You can sort-of post a link. Just put a space in the URL, and while it won't appear as a clickable link, anyone can identify the intended address and navigate to it anyway. If it's a legitimate link (not spam), some established member will usually repost the link for you anyway.
thanks for the idea mediafire-com/?e7eeahrsagc0565#! its a couple minutes from the movie in mp3,there are the voices of the actors but the tune is easily recognizable for anyone who knows what it is.
It's certainly tango - but the arrangement is of the strict-tempo ballroom type. I don't recognise the tune, but it may have been composed for the film, of course.
thanks.The guy who did the music for the film, Frank DeVol is well known for making arrangements for famous tunes,so i thought it may be such a a case.But it also may be an original score.
Well it several times is nearly Hernando's Hideaway, but never quite gets there - but perhaps someone else will recognise it.

This band made me go nuts live. These guys are funny people. saw these guys bout a week ago with defiance, ohio shit, i didn't know these guys had another record out! hell, i didn't even know they were still together! i saw them live in a tiny little pub a few times back around 2003ish, they're pretty amazing live, lots of energy. i seem to remember they covered "nazi punks fuck off" after someone went to the trouble of writing all the lyrics down on a sheet and waving them in front of the singer. |

The mediated crowd: new social media and new forms of rioting
Baker, Stephanie Alice (2011) The mediated crowd: new social media and new forms of rioting. Sociological Research Online, 16 (4). ISSN 1360-7804 (online) (doi:10.5153/sro.2553)
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Commentary on the recent riots largely reflects ideological differences with political discourse reviving traditional debates of social inequality and moral decline. While the 2011 riots resemble former incidents of rioting in twentieth-century Britain, it is argued that the recent unrest was significantly enhanced by the development of new social media, requiring new understandings of mediated crowd membership in the twenty-first century. I introduce and outline a model of the 'mediated crowd' commencing with the impact of new social media, and develop this paradigm in conjunction with emotions research, to account for the
emotional dimensions of collective action, and the social and political effects these technological developments have on contemporary forms of rioting. Here, it is argued that attempts to understand the causes of the recent riots must recognise that while social media contributed to the speed and scope of the unrest, emotions play a crucial role in motivating and sustaining collective action as the structures of feeling that intersect geographic and virtual public space. This innovative approach provides insight into the particular conditions in which the English riots emerged, while demonstrating how social media contributes
more broadly to new forms of collectivity in the media age.

Assessment specialists (check with your teaching center) can be invited into the department to do group sessions for the entire faculty; or those who will conduct peer observations can be asked to attend workshops addressing this set of skills. Practice evaluations, role plays, and case studies are particularly useful in preparing faculty to observe their colleagues in the classroom. |
There are several other considerations that need to be addressed in developing a plan for summative assessment of teaching. |
the high level of faculty-to-faculty trust allows for the processes to overlap. But that's not the best case upon which to develop procedures to manage a high-stakes decision process. The summative evaluation process needs to be able to function even in an environment of political dysfunction and distrust. The careful separation of formative and summative processes aids in this purpose. |
Summative evaluation applies criteria and standards that are shared by the professional community of the practitioners, for the purpose of making a definitive judgment about a faculty member's teaching effectiveness. Formative processes are guided by those same criteria and standards; however, their purpose is not to generate a final judgment, but rather to point to aspects of teaching that could be further developed.

text: Let's change things up again. I think I'm a bit more active now than I have been in the last… …two…years? So things have changed, including my general outlook and presentation. At the very least, I'm not going to be frustrated with myself and my profile-before-last's length like I was in the last profile. :3 Anyway…hey! Come chat with me if I'm around! (Likely 3 AM PST or so.) I'll probably be at work, but I'm always happy to chat when things are quiet. I'm happy to be back, and I look forward to meeting all of the fresh new faces~ Activity Feed |
