A good gateway MMO, and generally enjoyable 0
Runescape is a much-played but not so well-known online MMORPG that launched in 2001. Since that time, it has gone through major graphical and gameplay changes, and its current form is almost unrecognizable compared to what it was a few years ago. The gameplay is skill-based, and there are a plethora of skills. They are essentially divided into 3 categories, with some overlap in between. Attacking skills increase your proficiency in combat, improving the armor/weapons you can wield, opening up ...2 out of 2 found this review helpful.
role play in the mystical world full of idiots, bots, and n00bs 3
this game is taken for "the worst game ever" or "It sucks!" or some crap like that, really it is not a bad game. you just need to know what to do, and if the game is sooo bad, then why is their 45000 players on all the time? the game is extreamly addictive. THE GAME DOES NOT SUCK! you just need to get the hang of it. it is quite easy... yet you will find yourself taking a years worth or 6 mounths worth of a break. if you think the game is impossible and you can't do anything right, don't worry...2 out of 2 found this review helpful.
Don't expect amazing graphics and you'll be fine! 0
As I sit here and read the bad reviews for this game, I see a trend that is happening here. The reviewer usually states that "I have played this game for (2,3,4 or 5 years) and I am bored, its boring" When I see this I cringe, they have played the game for years and have only just realised its boring? there must have been something fun, otherwise you would not have played the game for so long. The graphics are expected and decent due to the fact that it is A. Free (Yes you CAN pay for extra stu...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.
Not fun, nor rewarding. 2
I played this game for two years.Two... years...And what experiences did I leave with? Nothing. I can't remember a single 'fun experience', it was just a constant grind fest. Like a boring job, but instead of getting money, you get a +1 next to your Coal ore, or Fish, or Combat level. WHAT IS THE POINT IN THAT. I mean sure you could say the same thing about any other MMORPG, but at least you have fun while doing it! This is just a constant grind! The only thing Runescape has done well, is that i...1 out of 2 found this review helpful.

Runescape is an online game where you make up your own character with a deformed body, and use him/her to defeat annoyingly similar enemys and other people online.Runescape starts when you log on and make up your username etc, you then make your way through a painfully long tutorial which will be longer than the amount of time the game occupies you.

Not a bad game, just no point in playing it 0
This game is very addicting, especially after you have invested hours of your time doing nothing but grinding away. If you want to stand a chance in the wilderness or PvP, you must grind for months to reach high combat levels and earn enough money to buy decent equipment. It can be fun, and you can waste away hours on this game, but ultimately its not something you want to get into long-term.

Huge updates, Small changes... 0
I played Runescape a few years ago when the graphics on the high settings were the same as the low settings today. Now, having played Runescape again, it was a big disappointment that after all these years and the numerous updates, the game hasn't changed much in terms of gameplay. They made more animations to some cutscenes and included more sound effects, but the core gameplay is the same, chopping trees, fishing, cooking, fighting and everything else that can earn you money. In fact, even th...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

I have been playing runescape for some time now, and i still don't get bored of it. It is one of the worlds most played RPG games and has exceeded in making money.

I started playing Runescape by in 2004 with a few friends. I'm not really good at writing up things so I will just bullet point the main things I like and dislike. Likes Can be very fun with friends. My advice with anyone kind of starting out to play Runescape is get a friend to start with you or have a friend that already plays, it's helpful, trust me. Quests are somewhat interesting and can be fun. Takes a very long time to max out a skill, which I actually like but I know a lot of people ...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

NOTE: This review will take into account the updates done to the game over the years including such examples as the Wilderness anti-RWT update, graphical changes and the new skills/quests released. Runescape is a game which I had played on and off for several years. At one point, I really enjoyed the game world and how immersive parts of it were, and how good MMORPGs like this are to play with any other friends who are interested in it. On the other hand, having come back to it again and again,...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch... Apr 02 2015
For the one-year anniversary of Every Frame a Painting, Tony Zhou goes meta and talks about how to structure a video essay, using South Park and Orson Welles' F for Fake.
Happy anniversary EFAP!
For the one-year anniversary of Every Frame a Painting, Tony Zhou goes meta and talks about how to structure a video essay, using South Park and Orson Welles' F for Fake.
Happy anniversary EFAP!
New Every Frame a Painting! In this installment, Tony Zhou shows how Akira Kurosawa used movement in his films to terrific effect.
A new short episode of Every Frame a Painting, in which Tony Zhou talks about how to show character choice in movies without using dialogue. His main example is Snowpiercer. Spoilers ahoy.
Tony Zhou's excellent series on filmmaking, Every Frame a Painting, has become a much-watch for me. Here's the latest one, a short look at a single scene from Silence of the Lambs in which Zhou asks: Who Wins the Scene?
Tony Zhou of Every Frame a Painting looks at the constraints David Fincher chooses to operate under while shooting a film. For instance, he very rarely uses hand-held cameras.
The last half of the video featuring a breakdown of how some of Fincher's scenes were shot is fascinating.
From Tony Zhou, A Brief Look at Texting and the Internet in Film.
Michele Tepper wrote about Sherlock's display of texts in 2011.
The rise of instant messaging, and even more, the SMS, has added another layer of difficulty; I'm convinced that the reason so many TV characters have iPhones is not just that Hollywood thinks they're cool, but also because the big crisp screen is so darn easy to read. Still, the cut to that little black metal rectangle is a narrative momentum killer. What's a director trying to make a ripping good adventure yarn to do?
The solution is deceptively simple: instead of cutting to the character's screen, Sherlock takes over the viewer's screen.
And just today, a trailer for Jason Reitman's Men, Women & Children, which movie seems to consist entirely of texting and social media interaction:
(via @tcarmody)
Martin Scorsese uses silence very effectively in his films. Tony Zhou explains:
(via dot info)
Using Edgar Wright as a positive example, Tony Zhou laments the lack of good visual comedy in American comedies and provides examples from Wright's films (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, etc.) to show how it's done properly.
Hot Fuzz is one of my favorite comedies...the scene Zhou shows of the Andys sliding off screen and then quickly back in consistently leaves me in stitches. (via digg)

Management claims inability to stick to MoU signed recently with two recognised unions on payment of bonus and incentives
A piquant situation has arisen in Neyveli Lignite Corporation with the management claiming inability to stick to a Memorandum of Understanding signed recently with two recognised trade unions on payment of bonus and incentives
.As such, the trade unions are facing the onerous responsibility of placating employees whose expectations are high as Deepavali is round the corner.
While the Labour Progressive Front (LPF) is ready to accept an ad hoc or advance payment of Rs. 30,000 for each employee, the Anna Workers and Staff Union (AWSU) is against accepting ad hoc payments and insists on implementation of the MoU.
Holding the management responsible for the impasse in resolving the issue, the LPF (affiliated to Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) and the AWSU (affiliated to All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) are jointly holding talks on launching another round of strike.
They are likely to come out with a statement by Thursday. Secretary of AWSU Rama. Udayakumar told The Hindu that on September 5, the MoU was signed with the management, providing for a hike of 143 per cent (in terms of Quarterly Plant Performance Reward and Productivity Linked Incentive) for a period of five years.
Board's refusal
However, when the management approached the NLC Board seeking its approval for the MoU, the latter reportedly felt that since the percentage of hike was too high, its validity period could be extended from five years to seven years.
Mr. Udayakumar pointed out that such a hike was nothing new as the management had already given 143 per cent hike in 2002 when its employee strength was 17,000 when its profit was just Rs. 600 crore to Rs. 700 crore.
Again in 2009, the management agreed to 143 per cent hike when the number of employees on its roll was 15,000. Now, with only about 12,500 employees and despite having achieved a profit of Rs. 1,470 crore, the management was now backtracking on the hike percentage, he charged.
If implemented, the size of the bonus and incentive payment would go up from Rs. 51,000 to Rs. 1.24 lakh per employee.
However, in the absence of any settlement on this score so far, the employees had obtained advance amount totalling Rs. 1.42 lakh each.
"Since the advance amount has to be repaid, the AWSU does not want to increase the burden on employees with another tranche of advance payment. It therefore insists that the management bring into force the latest MoU," Mr. Udayakumar said.
LPF general secretary S. Rajavanniyan told this correspondent that it was for the management to convince the Board as it has committed to implement the MoU and the trade unions cannot own any responsibility for lapses on part of the management.
On earlier occasions, the management got the approval of the Board for 143 per cent hike, but now it claimed inability to do so.
"Therefore, as a via media, the LPF is seeking an advance payment of Rs. 30,000 per employee," Mr. Rajavanniyan said.
Both the LPF and the AWSU have taken a firm stand that they would not agree to the seven-year validity period for the new MoU as suggested by the Board. Nor would they sign an agreement as provided under Section 12 (3) of the Labour Dispute Act (a mandatory provision for bringing into force the new settlement), both the union leaders said.
Circular soon
NLC sources said that, the management would soon come out with a circular explaining what had transpired between the management and the Board on the issue.
Meanwhile, the management was determined to inculcate discipline among employees and union leaders in terms of punching attendance and other activities, sources said.
Keywords: NLC trade unions, trade union strike, NLC strike, Neyveli Lignite Corporation, bonus and incentive payment, Labour Progressive Front

Victim Compensation
Colorado Crime Victims Compensation Program
If you are the victim of a crime, you may be eligible for compensation through this fund. Colorado's Crime Victim Compensation was created by state statute in 1981. Colorado has a decentralized system, which means that compensation programs exist in each of the state's 22 judicial districts. The judicial district where the crime occurred is responsible for accepting and reviewing victim compensation applications. If you are the victim of a violent crime in Colorado or if you are a Colorado resident who has been victimized in a state or country that does not have a compensation program, you may be eligible to receive victim compensation. Colorado residents who are victims of terrorist acts may also be eligible. Applications must be submitted to the district where the crime occurred. Generally, victim compensation covers For eligibility and application information, please go to this link http://dcj.state.co.us/OVP/comp_english.htm.
Other Compensation for Crime Victims
Many victims are interested in how they can be compensated for financial losses that they suffered as a result of a crime. In the federal criminal justice system, compensation for victims is called restitution. The Mandatory Restitution Act of 1996 established procedures for determining the circumstances under which and what amount of restitution a victim may be entitled. Under federal law for many crimes, it is mandatory that a defendant, if convicted, be ordered to pay full restitution related to offenses s/he is found guilty of. Court-ordered restitution follows a defendant for twenty years post-incarceration; however, there is no guarantee that all of the restitution ordered will be collected.

Early life[edit]
Steven Markowitz was born on Long Island and raised in a Jewish household in Plainview along with his brother, Daniel.[1] He started writing lyrics as a child, and would perform raps for his friends at house parties. Markowitz first attended the Long Island School for the Gifted in Huntington Station, and later attended Plainview – Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School.
While attending the University of Pennsylvania, he pledged the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, though he has expressed regret over having been deferred at his dream school, Case Western Reserve University. He also played as defensive back for the Penn's sprint football team. After graduating in 2010 with a degree in marketing and finance, he worked at Google as an AdWords associate in their Standardized AdWords Reseller Training (START) program.[2][3] He would leave at 7AM for a bus ride to the Googleplex in Mountain View, work a full day at Google, return home at 6PM, write songs, answer fan emails, and schedule concerts until 2 or 3 AM.[4] Reflecting on this, Allen said, "I was moving so fast, and even while I was at Google there was so much going on that I felt like I was doing two full-time jobs."[3] His dream and passion was music, so when he got opportunities to do live shows, he decided to leave Google.[4][5]
2009–12: Beginnings and Leap Year[edit]
Hoodie Allen originally was the duo of Steve Markowitz and Obey City (Samuel Obey, a childhood friend) on vocals and production, respectively. The name came about because Steven's nickname growing up was "Hoodie," and he wanted a name that "would stick in peoples' minds and be a little bit funny and representative of who I am" so a play off of famed filmmaker Woody Allen was settled on.[6] Steve and Obey's first two releases were the Bagels & Beats EP and Making Waves mixtape. These earned Hoodie a nomination for MTVU's Best Music on Campus Award in 2009.[7] The single "UPENN Girls" also received notable attention. However, in 2010 Obey City ceased to produce in Hoodie for unknown reasons, and Steve continued making music with RJ Ferguson (aka RJF), giving himself the name Hoodie Allen.[8][9] In June 2010, he released "You Are Not a Robot," which sampled "I Am Not a Robot" by Marina and the Diamonds and which hit No. 1 on Hype Machine, an aggregator that collects the most-blogged about music in the world.[4] After seeing the response, he spent the summer working, and finished his mixtape Pep Rally by September.[8] The album was largely produced by RJF, and sampled songs from Death Cab for Cutie, Flight Facilities, Marina and the Diamonds, Ellie Goulding, and Two Door Cinema Club. He picked the name "Pep Rally" because he said that it "captured the energy of the record" and something "new and exciting."[10] When asked about the writing process, Hoodie said: "Throughout Pep Rally, the ideas for samples were very collaborative. We would camp out in RJF's basement for a weekend and not leave till we had 3 songs done—that was the mentality."[8] He self-financed a video for the lead single "You Are Not A Robot," which helped the mixtape get downloaded over 200,000 times.[11]
In July 2011, Hoodie released his third mixtape, Leap Year. It reached 250,000 SoundCloud plays in its first week of release.[12] On the title for his mixtape, Hoodie explained it is "basically just talks to the leap of faith I took this year leaving everything else behind to be an artist."[13] In support of the album, Hoodie headlined a 15-city tour across North America, including stops in San Francisco, New York City, and Montreal, with supporting act Fortune Family opening on several venues.[14] Previously, he had toured with The Cataracs, Das Racist, Chiddy Bang, Mike Posner, and RJD2.[15][16]
Hoodie collaborated with the cartoon band Your Favorite Martian to write the song "8-Bit World", which he raps in.[17] He was also featured in CollegeHumor's "Jake and Amir" sketch series.[18]
2012: All American[edit]
On March 4, 2012, Hoodie announced via Twitter that he would be releasing his first EP, titled All American.[19] He decided on this title because he credited his success to freedom in the United States, because he felt the songs showcased his best music to date, and because of a hometown restaurant with the same title. Hoodie spent five months developing the album, building tracks from scratch with his producer, RJF, rather than using sampled beats.[20] Regarding the writing process, Hoodie stated that, "I would describe it as liberating... It was like, 'Okay, I hear this idea in my head, I hear these original ideas, [and] I'm putting them and piecing them together.'"[20] On March 29, 2012, Hoodie released the first single from All American entitled "No Interruption," as well as its music video.[21][22] The music video for his second single on All American, titled "No Faith In Brooklyn (feat. Jhameel)," was released on April 9.[23] All American was released on April 10, 2012 and debuted as the No. 1 album on iTunes. and at No. 10 on the Billboard 200.[24][25] Over the months of April and May, Hoodie made a 22-stop tour across the US in support of All American, featuring rapper Wax, Jared Evan, and others varied from show to show.[26][27] On March 23, 2012, Hoodie hinted at an upcoming announcement of a "UK tour for June," and officially announced the four dates on April 19 via Facebook.[28] The I Work Better In The UK Tour was his first time performing overseas. The Excellent Adventure Tour, which featured G-Eazy, began on September 7, 2012.[29] He later announced six more dates at which he would tour.[30]
Following the success of All American, Hoodie released the singles "Hey Now" and "Feel the Love" on YouTube and SoundCloud.[31] Both were made available for free download.[32]
2013: Crew Cuts and Americoustic[edit]
On February 11, 2013, XXL premiered the music video for "Cake Boy," the first single off of Hoodie's upcoming mixtape.[33] The single was later released on iTunes for purchase.[34] A week later, the music video for "Fame Is For Assholes" (abbreviated FIFA) premiered on YouTube which features rapper Chiddy Bang.[35][36] It was also released for iTunes purchase.[37] Hoodie commented, "I wanted to write a track that mixed a classic doo-wop vibe with the more upbeat hip-hop style that my fans have come to love."[38] Hoodie's mixtape Crew Cuts was released online for free through his website on February 20, 2013.[39] It is made up of 11 tracks produced by several people including Illmind, DJ Fresh Direct, and Jared Evan and has six collaborations with artists including Jared Evan, G-Eazy, Shwayze, Chiddy Bang, Skizzy Mars, OCD: Moosh & Twist, and Chance The Rapper. Hoodie announced the mixtape had been downloaded over 80,000 times within the first day.[40]
To promote his new music, Hoodie embark on his Cruisin' USA Tour with Aer and Jared Evan which began on March 5, 2013.[41] G-Eazy, instead of Aer, accompanied Hoodie on his Boston, Philly, and NYC shows. During the Cruisin' USA Tour, Hoodie had his fans chant that they wanted to see him on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Leading up to Roseland Ballroom, Hoodie started the hashtag "#GetHoodieAllenOnFallon" on Twitter to rally his fans along with a YouTube video directed at Fallon. After trending worldwide, Fallon replied the night of the concert asking to speak with Hoodie.[42] Hoodie made a YouTube series about this tour with 9 total episodes with the final episode posted on June 6, 2013.[43] He continued touring through the year with many performances through the summer at college campuses and other venues. In September he went to Europe for his Fake ID and a Passport Tour.[44] Later that month, Hoodie opened for Passion Pit in front of a sold out crowd of 10,000 people at the University of Minnesota, becoming his biggest show by a wide margin.[45]
Hoodie performed his new single "Make It Home" on Fuse alongside Kina Grannis which was released nationally on Hoodie's YouTube and on Fuse TV on April 30.[46] The studio version of the single was released onto iTunes on May 15, 2013 where it reached the top ten of the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap charts.[47][48]
On July 28, 2013, Hoodie announced that his acoustic EP, Americoustic, would be released August 13, 2013.[49] The following day he posted the dates for his Party With Your Friends Tour, which will take place in the US and Canada. Opening acts would be Moosh & Twist: OCD, Mod Sun, and D-WHY. [50] A special fan pre-sale was also announced, offering 100 tickets from each show starting July 31 at 10 in the morning.[51] On July 30, 2013, Hoodie released the music video for "No Interruption (Acoustic)" and stated that Americoustic would be available for both purchase on iTunes and free download on his website.[52][53] Hoodie's acoustic EP Americoustic was released on August 13, 2013 and reached No. 1 on the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap album chart and No. 4 on the iTunes overall album chart despite it also being available for free download.[54] The EP's guitar work was composed, recorded and produced by Our Last Night guitarist Matt Wentworth.
2014–present: People Keep Talking[edit]
On March 31, 2014, Hoodie released nineteen spring tour dates for his Hanging With Hoodie Tour. He stated that the tour would be particularly different because only 500 tickets maximum would be sold per show, the tickets would cost between $25–30, and that every ticket would include a free meet & greet. Hoodie said this would give everyone a good seat and allow him to perform to his most dedicated fans.[55]
The lead single off of Hoodie's debut studio album, People Keep Talking, was released on May 7, 2014 titled, "Show Me What You're Made Of." It premiered along with its music video, which parodied the film Happy Gilmore, and featured fellow rapper D-WHY and Tommy Lee from Mötley Crüe. The single was made available for purchase on iTunes and debuted as the #2 song overall.[56] Hoodie then made his television debut on Good Day Philadelphia playing an acoustic version of "Show Me What You're Made Of" after a short interview on May 15.[57] On June 11, Hoodie released a song for free download called "Nolan Ryan" on SoundCloud.[58] The purpose of the song was to show off his rap skills to prove that he doesn't only make pop music with rap in it. However, many perceived it as a diss track because it made references to three different artists— G-Eazy, Mike Stud, and Riff Raff. This caused backlash by both fans and rappers alike, and resulted in a comeback diss song by Mike Stud as well as insulting tweets from Riff Raff. In response to Mike Stud, Hoodie released the diss track "Little League"[59] for free download on SoundCloud. Another diss track was by Mike Stud afterwards. Neither "Nolan Ryan" nor "Little League" appeared on Hoodie's alum.
On his 26th birthday, Hoodie announced the title and cover of his first full-length album, People Keep Talking, along with a pre-order date of August 25 and a release date of October 14.[60] He has said to have written 24+ songs for the project, and some of their titles and video previews have been posted on social media sites over the past two years.[61] In a surprise twist, Hoodie released his phone number through social media and asked his fans to leave him a voicemail, and said that some of them could be on the album.[62] A contest was also started for those who pre-ordered the album in which they could win prizes such as meeting Hoodie, being in an upcoming music video, and get their name in the album credits.[63] Hoodie has said that he will be releasing new material leading up to the album.[64]
To promote the album, Hoodie went on a world tour titled People Keeping Talking World Tour, this included shows in the US, Europe, Canada, and Australia, featuring artists Chiddy Bang and MAX. The tour began on October 29, 2014, at the Royal Oak Music Theater in Royal Oak, Michigan, and ran into June 2015.
In the summer of 2015, he will open the shows of Fall Out Boy and Wiz Khalifa in a tour titled "The Boys of Zummer Tour".[65]
Fanbase: The Hoodie Mob[edit]
Leading up to the release of All American, Hoodie held a series of live streamed video chats via Ustream called "Hoodie Allen Mondays" or HAM. In it he would preview new music and hold trivia. The fan who tweeted the answer first would get to be called on-air. It was later changed to "Hoodie Hang" occurring Wednesdays streaming live on YouTube via Google+ hangout.
The night before the EP was released, Hoodie announced that he would personally call every fan to thank them for buying All American.[66] Over 30,000 signed up to receive a phone call. Hoodie stated he has called half and continues to narrow down the list when he has time.
Each tour fans are encouraged to volunteer as part of Hoodie Allen's street team Hoodie Mob for the concert they will attend. These individuals are assigned certain tasks to promote the show locally in ways such as handing out flyers, hanging posters, and inviting friends to the event on Facebook. Depending on which tasks the person completes, they may gain early entrance into the concert venue for a pre-show meet & greet and possibly receive free Hoodie Allen merchandise.[67]
In July 2011, Hoodie cracked the Top 10 of Billboard's Uncharted Territory.[68] For the week of August 5, 2011, He was #2 on Billboard's Uncharted Territory, with Billboard noting that his "growing popularity is undeniable."[12]
On April 10, 2012, Hoodie's All American EP went to #1 on the iTunes charts within hours of its release. All American also debuted at #10 on Billboard's Top Albums and was featured on its hip-hop and R&B column, The Juice.[69][70]

"Channel Crossing, Calais, France," executed in 1997, is an excellent example of the style and subject matter for which Michael Kenna is best known. His photographs are often taken at dawn or in the dark hours of night, and concentrate primarily on the interaction between the ephemeral atmospheric conditions of the natural landscape, and human-made structures and sculptural mass. A diurnal and nocturnal photographer, Kenna is fascinated by times of day when light is at its most pliant. With night time exposures of up to ten hours, his photographs often record details that the human eye is not able to perceive. Kenna's intimate, exquisitely crafted black and white prints reflect a sense of refinement, respect for history, and thorough originality.

OK guys, I barely rememember writing this, I was at the very edge between drunk and unconscious, I just read it and this has to be like one of the worst things I have ever published here, this is barely coherent!
And some of the stuff I actually think is worth reading goes un-noticed.
I NEVER KNOW WHAT IT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE! The only ones around here that are more unpredictable than me is you guys!
You guys be as happy as you want, I say I could have made this point with about .25% of the words.
Maybe you should all consider being easier on yourselves and harder on the Smudge Pot.
Most of those who think so actually don't and most people who think sew actually rip.

Emerging powers chide rich nations´ climate stance
BRASÍLIA – Brazil, China, India and South Africa on Monday chided developed nations for not doing enough to curb greenhouse gases and fund efforts to confront climate change.
In a joint statement issued after talks in the southern city of Foz de Iguacu, climate negotiators from the four countries making up the so-called BASIC group said developed nations' current commitments on emissions reductions and on financing were not enough.
"Ministers reiterated their concern with the inadequacy of developed countries´ current commitments on emissions reductions and provision of financial and technological support," the statement noted.
Attending the gathering were Brazilian Environment Minister Izabella Teixeira, her South African counterpart Edna Molewa, China's climate high representative Xie Zhenhua and India's environment secretary V. Rajagopalan.
Also present were delegates from Argentina, Fiji, current head of the G77 group of developing nations, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela.
Monday's statement came ahead of a UN conference on climate change scheduled for November in Warsaw.
The Warsaw meeting will seek to make progress toward reaching an ambitious global accord by 2015 to reduce greenhouse gases.
Brazil, China, India and South Africa pressed for commitments "by all countries" to curb gas emissions while taking into account historic responsibilities and capabilities, an issue which still divides emerging, developing and rich countries in the negotiations.

Cal's Rogers carries on despite heart condition
BERKELEY, Calif. For two years, Tierra Rogers cried herself to sleep each night as California's basketball team moved forward without her.
Still grieving 20 months after her father was murdered during one of her high school games, Rogers' career got cut short before it began. A top recruit, the highly touted freshman guard collapsed and stopped breathing in a seriously close call outside the Cal training room.
It's been three years since that frightening day. Most with her rare heart condition never know, until it's too late, because it is often fatal.
Rogers rarely misses practice these days, even though she has never played a minute for the Golden Bears, who jumped to No. 11 in this week's AP Top 25 poll. Rogers steps in to help during drills as a passer, or stays busy under the basket to rebound balls and keep things moving. On game day, she is the last player the Cal starters greet for a handshake or choreographed dance move during introductions.
"A lot of tears were shed. I think of my dad a lot," Rogers said during a recent practice. "I felt alone. I felt lost. I felt I had no control over anything in my life. I felt defeated. I was just sad and distraught at everything that happened."
To see Rogers now, smiling, still taking part on the court in a drastically different role, is to see just how far this young woman has come in a success story that reaches from Rogers to her teammates and coaches and the entire Bay Area. Rogers recently began taking part in a clinical trial at UC San Francisco, something she hopes will help others with her health situation keep playing their sport at a high level.
She is on schedule to graduate next summer - on time, with a bachelor's degree in African American Studies.
"She amazes me," said Rogers' mother, Dalonna Ingram-Rogers. "I always tell her I get my strength from her. She says, `Well, you and dad raised me,' and I tell her, `Give yourself some credit.' She has been through so much at a young age. It's so easy to quit."
On Sept. 21, 2009, Rogers collapsed at Haas Pavilion after she had trouble breathing during a workout. She was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where she spent a week for testing and observation. Once doctors determined she had a cardiac condition, she was transferred to UC San Francisco Medical Center. There, doctors discovered her condition - Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia - and implanted a defibrillator.
A high school All-American at San Francisco's Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep, her dad was shot to death at halftime of a game across the street from her home gym on Jan. 12, 2008. She considered giving up basketball after the tragedy.
Later, the decision was made for her.
Former Cal coach Joanne Boyle, now at Virginia, still keeps in touch with Rogers whenever possible. Second-year Bears coach Lindsay Gottlieb was Boyle's top assistant during the recruiting process with Rogers, but had left to coach Santa Barbara by the time Rogers arrived.

On Tablet's Server Outages
DDOS attacks, the Jonah Lehrer story, and this website
For the last several months, Tablet Magazine's servers have been coming under recurring distributed denial-of-service attacks, or DDOS attacks. Yesterday we suffered two major attacks, the first around 1:30 p.m., shortly after we posted Michael C. Moynihan's explosive article about the further dishonesty of Jonah Lehrer, the author and New Yorker writer.
The Lehrer story brought us an unprecedentedly large legitimate traffic load. Some commentators and observers speculated that that's what brought us down. It's true that the rush of readers coming to the Lehrer story was much larger than normal, but I am assured by our IT team that we had more than sufficient bandwith and server memory to handle it. Notably, for several midafternoon hours, when we were not under attack, we served extraordinarily high traffic loads uneventfully.
Our IT team strongly believes that what we were experiencing—and have been for some time—are sophisticated attacks specifically targeting Tablet, not just run-of-the-mill Internet-as-Wild-West hijinks. It is possible that whoever is out to get us seized on a moment when we had high publicity and high server demand to attack. It sounds a little paranoid, granted, but as the saying goes, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. The romantic in me hopes it's the Iranians.
Meantime, we're doing what we can to keep the site up, and we apologize for our no-doubt maddening unreliability. And if you're a DDOS-mitigation expert who's eager for some pro-bono work, you know where to find us.

Tablet is committed to bringing you the best, smartest, most enlightening and entertaining reporting and writing on Jewish life, all free of charge. We take pride in our community of readers, and are thrilled that you choose to engage with us in a way that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. But the Internet, for all of its wonders, poses challenges to civilized and constructive discussion, allowing vocal—and, often, anonymous—minorities to drag it down with invective (and worse). Starting today, then, we are asking people who'd like to post comments on the site to pay a nominal fee—less a paywall than a gesture of your own commitment to the cause of great conversation. All proceeds go to helping us bring you the ambitious journalism that brought you here in the first place.
Readers can still interact with us free of charge via Facebook, Twitter, and our other social media channels, or write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Each week, we'll select the best letters and publish them in a new letters to the editor feature on the Scroll.
We hope this new largely symbolic measure will help us create a more pleasant and cultivated environment for all of our readers, and, as always, we thank you deeply for your support.
