On modern linux user-space, the VT subsystem is no longer needed for system consoles. Although most DEs will fail if VTs are disabled, there are several gfx-systems that support this mode. Especially the lower system stack has been extended to work without VTs.
However, there is one major drawback if VTs are disabled: You don't get oops/panic-screens nor early boot-debugging. The VT subsystem registers a console-driver, thus displays the kernel log and oops/panic screens in those situations. This patch introduces a fallback for CONFIG_VT=n.
A new DRM-Log core is added. At its heart, DRM-Log maintains a log-buffer of kernel-log messages. It registers a console-driver and pushes new messages into this buffer whenever they appear. The size of the log-buffer can be changed via drm_log_ensure_size(). Initially, a suitable buffer is chosen, but whenever drivers register high-res CRTCs, they ought to increase that buffer to guarantee there's always enough data to render the whole screen. This log-buffer is managed at the character-level, not pixel-level. It is shared across all users, supports parallel, atomic readers and writers and supports seamless resizing.

'Sally' is a 20 year student at a leading Russell Group university, hunting down a third year placement
I have been to placement meetings; I have been armed with a handbook, and there is an online forum that shows upcoming placement opportunities yet it still seems like I'm fighting an uphill battle and I'm doing so all by myself.
I knew it was my responsibility to find a placement yet often I ask myself, as more and more people secure yearlong placements, is it about who you know or what you know?
The process is tough but not as tough as being caught off guard and so it is vital that you learn not only everything about the company but also yourself. That is before preparation of the famous 'unusual' questions deployed to make you think on your feet in an interview, but for me the tricky questions are self-evaluating and knowing what to include and exclude within tasks given to you.
What is interesting about you? Do I have one key trait that will separate me and show my passion?
It is only through a time consuming process of self-reflection that you find out if the placement is suited to you as much as you are to them.
I knew before I started applying that it would take a lot of time, but further issues have now surfaced. Such as will it affect my studies, considering I have more than twice the workload now? For every one application, just the first stage, takes three full days of work which is hard when you have to do reading before a lecture, go to the lecture, write up the lecture, read for the seminar – the process is time consuming.
It is not just the time taken to prepare for questions and knowing the company inside out but it is emotionally tiring, this emotional investment is what we are not told about. The further on in the process the more you want it. Yet the more rejections you get too the more you think maybe I should revert back to a three year course. I know people who have huge stress issues over what to do if they don't get one. But for now, it is on to the next one.
'Marcus' is her concerned dad
As I contemplate the cost of all this my biggest concern is that Sally might lose the enthusiasm to obtain a degree and question its worth. When I went to university the state paid for all our tuition and accommodation costs. It never occurred to us that there was a cost! But the university experience gave my generation such confidence to try and tackle any job, to change industries – two or three times actually – and know that I'd learn how to learn. Today's undergraduates have to learn how to cope with tens of reject letters, and that's even before they've sat down to do their Finals. That's not why I wanted Sally to get a degree.

As a result, her mother didn't look after Alicia, who grew up very independent. She went to a little orphanage somwehere on the East Coast, The sisters introduced her to God's grace and taught her that humility is the first step in the path of service to him. The sisters didn't break her fighting spirit, they just helped her to focus it.There was some trouble at the orphanage when she was older. Whatever happened, someone in the church noticed her and she ended up in the Silver Cross, a training academy for Magic Priests and Warrior Nuns. No one has done better at the academy than she did.With the world full of communists and fascists, pope Pius XI felt that someone special was needed to take the Lord's fight to a new level. Everything had to be off record in case things didn't work out. It was with his blessing and Father Enoch Vlasak's guidance that Alicia became the Crimson Nun.She was active during World War II, famous to this day as the arch-foe of Nazi super-villains.

opinionBy Idang Alibi
This piece was written on a wave of inspiration as soon as Macky Sall was elected president of Senegal in April. However, because of competing demands of events for commentary, I wrote on what I considered more important and more topical issues at the time and completely forgot publishing this.
While checking my system for something a few days ago, I ran into it, so to say. On re-reading it, I felt that it should see the light of day, in spite of the fact that the event which inspired it took place some four months ago. I feel that in our continuing search for a solution to the peculiar behaviour of African leaders who feel extremely reluctant to leave power when their time is up, the modest proposal in this piece is very timely and relevant. Please, share in my humble thought and let me have your comments, if you wish.
Many persons in the civilised democratic world have been falling on top of one another to congratulate Macky Sall on his victory over Abdoulaye Wade in the recent Senegalese presidential election. Many newspapers have written nice OP-ED pages articles and editorials celebrating the victory of democracy in Senegal. I do not share in the jubilation of these people. Before you consider me a kill-joy or a contrarian, hear me out first.
You see, I have been forged in the furnace of bitter disappointments by African political leaders. I have therefore learnt over the years not to be easily given to euphoric emotions concerning the emergence of an African political 'hero' because sooner or later, he will go the way of his predecessors. Remember, this Abdoulaye Wade who is now a villain was the same man we hailed as a hero ten or so years ago when after over 20 years in the cold as a dogged opposition leader, he defeated the then 'tallest' president in Africa, Abdou Diof, to become president.
Can you begin to understand my pessimism? The 'hero' you hail today may become worse than the 'villain' he succeeded only yesterday. That is why I have chosen to refrain from joining in the celebration of what happened in Senegal. I do not want to suffer any further disappointment from a hasty celebration of a so-called hero who may well turn out a horrible villain.
One of the tricks I have learnt that has helped me to keep my sanity in the face of the poor, irresponsible and unconscionable political leadership in Africa is that I rarely write or say something effusive either in praise or in condemnation of anyone especially if such a person happens to be an emerging African leader. I have also learnt not to take side either in favour or against African leaders contending for power. I see none of them as either a hero or a villain. I just happen to believe that neither the one in power nor the other seeking to replace him is any better or worse than the other. I just hold unto the belief that they are all the same so why bother to take sides. To me, they are all like football coaches: either one is being fired or the other is waiting to be hired. We are yet to have the "Special One" such as Mourinho who is either being begged to stay or being wooed to be hired because his achievements are too visible to be unnoticed.
I am not a political philosopher or physician but I have since come to a conclusion that African leaders seem to suffer from a peculiar political disease which makes them too readily disposed to discard all tenets and norms of democracy and want to subvert them as much as possible in order to satisfy their greed for political and ultimately economic power. Sanctions, public outcry, political isolation and other forms of rebuke do not seem to be able to cure this peculiar disease which has had a very ruinous effect on the continent. I have therefore thought to myself that rather than celebrate the victory of any African leader at the polls, our concern for now should be to call on scientists from the Western world to help us (as usual) develop a serum or a computer software or micro chip to be implanted in the brain of any African leader as soon as he takes office. The content of this implant should be high doses of democratic tenets and disposition, basic honesty, a sense of honour and integrity, frugality in the management of public funds and strong anti-bodies against tribalism, nepotism and the proclivity to privatise the public realm or estates.
I humbly suggest that since the Americans and the Europeans say they love democracy so much and have shown practically that they don't give a damn to use undemocratic means, namely their war planes and smart bombs, to bomb out of existence any country they perceive is not practising this system as they did in Iraq and Libya, the task of developing this new 'vaccine' should naturally be given to them. After all, these people have developed sodium pentothal the so-called truth serum which their intelligence agencies use to ferret out information from terrorists and other dangerous criminals. Ben Carson, that 'gifted hand' Black neuron-surgeon, should be recruited to do this implant. It should be administered as part of the oath of office ceremony of every incoming African president.
There is no use pretending about it: there is a gene in every African leader which makes them to be extremely reluctant to leave office once they get there. Perhaps we all inherited this gene from our ancestors who did not particularly love democracy, especially the brand favoured by the West. I remember the famous saying by the late Ivorien leader Houphet Boigny who was in power for over 30 years. He once famously said that "a Bauole Chief does not know his successor". You see, apart from being president, Boigny was also a chief of his Bauole tribe and he did not see any distinction between the demands or ethos of the two offices. As the man was getting old, the people of Cote D'Ivoire who had embraced the notions of Western democracy were getting agitated as they could not see him grooming anyone to succeed him. What Mr. Boigny was saying in effect was that it was rude or impolite and possibly treasonable to talk of a new king when the old one is still on the throne! According to him, and other members of the tribe of African leaders, the man on the throne has to die first before you start thinking of a successor. You see what I mean?

Is this great flour or what?
We received this email message today. You gotta love making people happy. :-)
I just had to write back to you. I dont usually write about products but this is different.
Ive been making pizzas for a long time with a couple different recipes that I liked but using your recipe with the new flour I order is nothing short of amazing. This pizza dough has the best flavor I have ever had. Thanks so much for make an incredible product available.
I also LOVE the tomatoes and will be ordering those by the case from now on.
And the pizza stone the BEST Ive ever seen or used.
Thanks again!!!
Re: Is this great flour or what?
I wonder, do you feel different if you're working with something that makes people happy - like being a skiing instructor, arranging childrens birthday parties, or helping people get really cool Pizzas and ovens - rather than working with something that makes people unhappy - say if you're a tax collector or an insurance salesperson? I'm thinking it must make quite a difference...
Re: Is this great flour or what?

'Rookie Blue's' Charlotte Sullivan not comfortable with basic police workAdd to Favorites | Rookie Blue
If it isn't easy being a cop, it's especially complicated being a rookie named Gail Peck.
With an off-putting attitude that cloaks a deep vulnerability and a police family tradition to live up to -- not to mention the need to work with not just one but two ex-flames -- there's surely a lot on the plate of the officer played by Charlotte Sullivan on "Rookie Blue," the Canadian-made Thursday ABC drama now in its third season and already renewed for a fourth.
While literally on the line between the U.S. and Canada, the pleasant actress saw the effect of the show's popularity. "We were shooting, and I had to rush to my brother's wedding in Buffalo [N.Y.]," she recalls on the "Rookie Blue" set. "I was driving, and I got to the border, and I had forgotten my car's insurance card.
"I had half an hour to get to the wedding, and the woman they brought over to do the inspection looked at me and said, 'You're from "Rookie Blue!" ' And I was like, 'Yes! Yes, I am!' And I got to the wedding in 15 minutes, so 'Thank you' to her."
Now that war veteran Nick Collins ( Peter Mooney) is back in her life as a fellow rookie, Gail is finding it tricky to balance her interactions with him and with her most recent boyfriend, Officer Chris Diaz ( Travis Milne).
And on top of that, there's the basic police work, which Sullivan admits she wouldn't be comfortable doing for real. "You can't always have an emotional connection with every single person you're dealing with," she tells Zap2it. "I don't know how you shut that off. Something feels incredibly robotic about it, so if you put yourself in that position, that's why I don't think I could do it."

Two-way traffic was originally slated to start this afternoon, following planned weekend lane striping and painting work. Instead, the conversion has been pushed back until Wednesday.
"The conversion has been delayed for 48 hours due to a scheduling conflict with our subcontractor," Arlington Department of Environmental Services spokeswoman Laura G. Smith confirmed to ARLnow.com this morning.

FILE - This file photograph taken on April 4, 2012, shows US ambassador to Pakistan Cameron Munter in Islamabad. (AFP PHOTO/AAMIR QURESHI)
WASHINGTON: The former US ambassador to Islamabad on Wednesday criticized Washington's "callousness" over the killing of Pakistani troops as he called for both nations to rethink how they see each other.
Cameron Munter served as ambassador during some of the most difficult times of the turbulent US-Pakistan relationship including the slaying of Osama bin Laden and a US border raid that killed 24 Pakistani troops in November 2011.
Munter, who resigned last year, said that the United States had shown a lack of generosity over the deaths of the 24 troops. Pakistan shut down NATO supply routes into Afghanistan until the United States apologized seven months later.
"The fact that we were unable to say that we were sorry until July cost our country literally billions of dollars," Munter said, pointing to the costly shift to sending supplies for the Afghan war via Central Asia.
"But worse than that, it showed a kind of callousness that makes it so difficult simply to begin to talk about those things, that I've always tried to stress, that we have in common," he said at the Atlantic Council, a think tank.
Munter steadfastly denied conspiracy theories and said the deaths near the Afghan border were a case of mistaken identity. Munter said that US-led forces "obliterated" the soldiers by firing from an AC-130, a powerful gunship.
"If you don't have that in common -- that you're sorry when there is nothing left of the bodies of 24 of your boys -- then it's very hard for many people, especially those who want a relationship with us... to defend us to their peers," Munter said.
The border attack took place as Mitt Romney and other Republicans seeking the White House were attacking President Barack Obama for allegedly being too apologetic about the United States.
Munter pointed to comments by then candidate Newt Gingrich. In 2011, the former House speaker berated Pakistan over the presence of bin Laden despite the billions of dollars in US aid to Islamabad, saying: "How stupid do you think we are?"
"If we have that kind of dismissive attitude -- that we can give people money and they're going to love us... and somehow that means they're going to think the way we think -- that's equally stupid," Munter said.
Munter called for the United States to change its way of thinking but was also critical of Pakistan.
Munter said that Pakistanis, who in opinion polls voice widespread dislike for the United States, were wrong to take for granted that Washington simply wanted to use the country for its own interests and then discard it.
"It's a bigotry, it's a lazy way of thinking, and as long as Pakistanis do it, they're going to cripple the relationship," he said.
Munter also called for a reconsideration of "very ambitious" US aid projects, saying that such largesse was ineffective and may even be counterproductive unless Pakistan reforms its feudal-based economy.
The nation's elites "need to stop blaming America for its perceived failure to fix Pakistan," he said.
In a 2009 law spearheaded by now Secretary of State John Kerry, Congress authorized $7.5 billion over five years in aid to Pakistan for education, infrastructure and other projects in hopes of boosting civilian rule.

Two late goals ensured a winning start to the new Mexican Clausura season for Club America as they triumphed 2-0 at Queretaro.
Christian Benitez set the visitors on their way with the opening goal 20 minutes from time and Diego Reyes made sure of the points in the final minute.
There were also victories for Monterrey, Atlante and San Luis. Walter Ayovi bagged two goals in three minutes at the start of the second half for Monterrey in their 2-1 win against Jaguares, for whom Jackson Martinez netted a late consolation.
Michael Arroyo's goal a minute before half-time earned Atlante a 1-0 win at Guadalajara, whose misery was compounded by the last-gasp dismissal of Patricio Araujo.
Ten-man San Luis edged past UNAM Pumas 1-0 thanks to Jehu Chiapas' 42nd-minute strike, the hosts holding on despite the 34th-minute dismissal of Anibal Matellan.
Elsewhere on the opening weekend, Cruz Azul and Tigres Monterrey battled out a 1-1 draw, Christian Gimenez's early opener cancelled out by Lucas Lobos 19 minutes from the end.
Finally, the match between Santos Laguna and Pachuca ended goalless, the hosts having Ibanez Jimenez sent off in the 88th minute.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
1996 Ford Mustang Cobra - Rivalry Cut Short
Bill Tumas was tired of sinking money into his constantly broken, supercharged '91 GT. So, in April 1999 the North Wales, Pennsylvania, resident purchased a black '96 Cobra with just 2,500 miles on the clock. "I had been reading about the Four-Valve cars," Bill says. "After bringing [the '96 Cobra] home, I immediately installed pulleys, a Flowmaster after-cat, and a Pro-5.0 shifter. Soon after, I took the Cobra to the track with my good friend Andrew 'Krimpet' Bauer to see what the car would do against his bolt-on, AOD-equipped '98 GT." Bill was rewarded with 13.6s at 102 mph to Krimpet's 14.0s at 98 mph. "I was impressed with how well the Cobra ran with such minimal mods. So was Krimp-two weeks later he rolled up to my house in his own '96 Cobra."
Because Krimpet's Cobra was the same Laser Red color as his former GT, he hoped his parents wouldn't notice it was a different car. Well, they did notice, but they were actually cool with their son's new purchase. And so the mods began.
Meanwhile, Bill was upgrading his Cobra with 4.10 gears, a Dr. Gas X-pipe, a Steeda timing adjuster, and a mail-order performance chip. With Krimpet following suit, their race for the 12s was off to a furious start.
Bill won that race by running a 12.98 at 106 mph and making a final-round appearance a few weeks later at a domestic-versus-import shootout. Shortly thereafter, Krimpet borrowed Bill's new drag radials and busted out a 12.84 at 105 mph to lower the bar even more. Even their mutual friend Brian Kirk got in on the action by getting a '97 Cobra and outfitting it accordingly.
All three attended a Fun Ford race, and even though none of them made it past the first couple rounds of eliminations, Bill bested Krimpet and Brian with a 12.88 at 105 mph. At the '00 Modular Shootout, the trio once again lined 'em up to see who could run the quickest. Bill and Brian ran in the Four-Valve N/A class while Krimpet was lured to the bracket class and the prospect of winning a Paxton supercharger. Bill finished runner-up to Barry Shepard, and Brian took third in the Four-Valve N/A class. Krimpet lasted two rounds in the bracket class and went home blowerless.
With each of them surpassing the 12-second zone, the 11s became their next goal. Bill's black Cobra was the first to go under the knife at the hands of Jimmy Chahalis at LaRocca's Performance, where 4.56 gears, a 31-spline Traction-Lok, Moser 31-spline axles, BBK long-tube headers, and a McLeod clutch were added, along with a fresh tune-up. "We took it to the track that night," Bill says. "It ran 12.30s at 110 right out of the box on new Mickey Thompson ET Streets, with consistent 1.70 60-foot times."
Krimpet's Cobra was the next to visit LaRocca's, where it received the same additions save for the long-tubes, as Krimpet was low on cash. "We picked up [Krimpet's car]," Bill says, "and even though the weather was awful, he ran a 12.51 at 109 mph to my 12.42 at 109 mph."
Unfortunately, due to it being totaled, Brian's Cobra never made it to LaRocca's.
"A few weeks later," Bill says, "[we were] at the '01 SuperStallions of the Net Spring Nats at Cecil County Raceway in Maryland. Krimp and I continued the race to the 11s. But this was Krimp's day, as he bested all the other N/A Cobras in attendance as well as a few supercharged ones." Bill had chip trouble, so he took it out and lined it up against Krimpet for the last run of the day. "I got out early," Bill says, "but he took the win up top with a 12.31 to my losing 12.40."
Not handling the loss well, Bill headed back to LaRocca's for a fresh chip tune, drag springs, and a pair of Weld Draglites up front to match the rears. As Krimpet was out of cash, it was up to Bill to go after the 11s alone. A few weeks later, a trip to Cecil County Raceway enabled Bill to come close to the 11s, with a 12.09 at 112 mph in good air.

deal of the day is awesome today
can you tie em in a know can you tie em in a bow.....not hers!!!
I am soooo glad these are coming back into style. Was'nt married in the 80's and they have been gone since. Gonna be fun in a few weeks!!!
Why does every comment here have multiple downvotes? Is it because they don't like the style or they don't like lingerie deals?
@wnyx585am: I have a very active anti-fan club out there :)
@crapple: Those of us who actually HAVE a woman in our life appreciate OCheri. My wife looks great in their stuff, and it makes her feel sexy.
And when my wife feels sexy...good things happen :)
@wootmeharder: I'm not sure I agree with the overall tone of this post, but I definitely approve of the statement: "When my wife feels sexy, good things happen."
@browncoat42: There is a LOT of stuff on this site that I don't want or need...but I don't have to go out of my way to flame it. Seriously people need to lighten up already.
@wootmeharder: I understand. Haters gonna hate. (See most recent post by crassmonkey). Let's not be haters, is all.
@wootmeharder: Actually, I think they just don't like girls.
Or their idea of a significant other has a last name of ".jpg".
For a work thing? I mean, the actual thumbnail is actually smaller than my thumbnail. For someone else to see what that thumbnail on my PC looks like means that person is not looking over my shoulder, but is in my lap. And why are you doing this instead of work?
There are a lot of things on woot I'm not interested in, and as an American it's my choice to click on them or not. What these haters are advocating is to have the freedom to tell you what freedom you can't have. They want to say what you can or can't say. It's a form of cyber bullying, and as such it means the social terrorists are winning. Just a little bit, bit by bit, but they're winning.
@nrsgdbdy: Nope...hers definitely do NOT hang low :)
@crassmonkey: Maybe Woot just likes lingerie...
Actually, you'll notice that @ohcheri actually contributes to the community (more in the questions than posting deals) and is not just here to post her own stuff.
Also, posting an average of one deal per day from her website hardly seems like spam to me ("spam" was mentioned in a now-deleted comment). Also, the deals she posts are actual discounts compared to the current pricing on her website.
Lastly, the fact that Woot has other competitor's lingerie ads on the sidebar tells me there is probably no special deal between woot and ohcheri.
@crassmonkey: Dude...having a mutually beneficial business relationship with another company does NOT mean there is some secret, behind the scenes kick-back going on. Dude...you seriously need a girlfriend. Might I suggest this really great lingerie site I know about....

Peyton Versus His Past
Broncos-Colts is the game of the weekend. How will Peyton Manning play against his ex-team, in his former home? Plus, 10 more storylines to watch in Week 7
There is only one game this weekend, one game that will draw every football-loving eye in America to it Sunday night: Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts. And some non-football eyes too, because Americans just love seeing drama, and Revenge on ABC and The Good Wife on CBS won't cut it. (Maybe Boardwalk Empire on HBO, but that's why man created DVRs.)
Eyes will be on Colts owner Jim Irsay, who threw a Molotov cocktail on the emotions of Peyton Manning this week for suggesting the organization is more smartly run and better built without the financial anchor of a veteran franchise quarterback. Irsay also pointed out that Manning's Colts were one-and-done in seven of 11 playoff years.
Eyes will be on the emotional Manning, who admitted this week he didn't know how he'd react when he stepped on the field in The House That Peyton Built. (And if you think that storyline is overplayed—that Manning is the key reason Lucas Oil Stadium exists—I can tell you you're crazy. Manning, and the success he keyed for a decade in Indianapolis, was the driving force behind the Colts getting their glitzy palace.)
Eyes will be on the moments. There are very few electric times in sports that you desperately want to see. No, HAVE to see. But Manning running onto the field, Manning during the in-stadium tribute (which is supposed to be a doozy), Irsay looking down from his box, crying people in the stands, scanning the stands for orange Manning jerseys, the occasional shot of Andrew (A Mellower Peyton Junior) Luck, and the game … I mean, this won't be a singular moment you have to see. It's 3 hours and 15 minutes of them. Woe be to FOX if there's a Game 7 in the ALCS. The ratings would be swell in Boston and Detroit, but anywhere else? A very, very bad night for baseball drama, or any drama.
I've tried to think back at some of the great regular-season games in recent seasons. Denver and New England in Manning's first post-Denver game against Tom Brady last year was good, but the Broncos and Patriots were both 2-2, so the event was fun but not must-see. Cowboys-Giants for the playoff spot to end 2011 was good. Lots of games end up being ridiculously good (Pack 51, Cards 45, 2009 Wild Card; Steelers 37, Pack 36 in 2009; the Denver-Dallas 99-pointer this month), but really … What game of recent vintage matches this one for story and football appeal?
"There's gonna be a lot of weird feelings in the crowd Sunday night, I can promise you that," said Jim Sorgi, the former Manning backup with the Colts who now is their radio color man. "The emotion will be raw. I went to my son's football game [in Indianapolis] the other day and found at least one mom who is going to be rooting for Peyton in this game [and not the Colts]. You'll see some Peyton 18 jerseys in orange in the crowd. That's because there's still so much allegiance to the man who made us an NFL powerhouse."
Sorgi is uniquely qualified to talk about Manning and Luck. How are they the same? How are they different?
"Their playing styles are different," Sorgi said. "But the coaches tell me they're checking now [changing plays] as much as they checked when Peyton played. No one studies like Peyton. But Andrew works very hard at it, too. What I really love about both of them is they never let one series affect the next one. When the series is over, no matter whether it ends in a touchdown, a punt or a turnover, they don't care; it's on to the next one. And the nine fourth-quarter comebacks by Andrew—who does that remind you of?"
The added bonus to this: Luck loved Manning as a kid. In eighth and ninth grade, Luck went to the Manning Passing Academy in Louisiana, just hoping some of Peyton's greatness would rub off on him. Apparently it did. Luck won't be as emotional about this game as Manning will be. Who knows—that could end up being an edge.
"But," said Sorgi, "knowing Peyton, at kickoff, all the other stuff will be gone, and he will have only one thing in mind—getting to 7-0 with the Broncos. I have never in my life seen any outside thing get in the way of football with him. But again, that seems to be the same with Andrew. He just plays, and he doesn't let anything distract him either."
I like Denver, but not for any reasons of vengeance. It's just football. Manning's playing better than any quarterback right now. And with Von Miller coming back from his six-game suspension this week, the Colts are going to have do things differently than the previous six Denver opponents did. In the wild 51-48 game, the Cowboys played with an empty backfield on 19 snaps. No way the Colts can do that now. They'll have to keep an extra tight end or back in to account for the rangy Miller. And not only is Miller a terrific pass rusher, he's also a great quarterback spy. Look for Denver to have figured out when Luck is most likely to abandon the pocket, and watch for Miller to wait cagily for Luck to make his move.
This is going to be an electric night and a very fun game. Thanks to Irsay's words and the reverberations in two cities, the theater might be as good as the game.
Sound Bite of the Week
"Me and him have been on the whole page the whole time since the beginning, and the decision will be made eventually."
—New England tight end Rob Gronkowski, to the media Thursday
Gronk once again threw tepid water on the confusing situation between him and Bill Belichick, and the status of Gronk's forearm (it was announced Friday morning that Gronk is medically cleared to play). I'm not sure what "the whole page" is, but it fits in New England, where the less you say, and the more confusing you are, the better.
Player You Need to Know This Weekend
Peyton Hillis, running back, New York Giants (No. 44). The Giants have been struggling to run the ball well (what, exactly, have the Giants done well this season?), and their healthy incumbents this week to face the Minnesota Vikings are rookie Michael Cox and veteran Brandon Jacobs. So in comes Hillis, fresh from coaching a high school team in Tennessee, to provide another big body for the Giants to use. "It's good to finally get another opportunity," said Hillis, who was stuck behind Jamaal Charles in Kansas City last year and Doug Martin in Tampa Bay this summer before being cut. "In the past couple of years I really haven't had a shot." If you dress for the Giants and play running back, you'll get a shot. Because playing running back for the Giants has been a license to get hurt.
Ten Things I'll Be Watching for This Weekend
1. Sunday night in Indianapolis. The Manning Bowl outshines them all this weekend.
2. The pregame show game-within-the-game in Indianapolis. FOX, ESPN, CBS and NFL Network have approximately 3,439 hours of programming to fill Sunday morning/early afternoon. It'll be fun to see who knows what about mad Manning or irked Irsay or peeved Polian or dubious Dungy. This has really escalated quite nicely during the week, after owner Jim Irsay said the Colts had a smarter football model post-Peyton.
3. Josh Freeman's redemption tour begins. Freeman, who had a disastrous last 10 starts for the Bucs, will pilot the slumping Vikings against the defensively challenged Giants. It's one reason to watch Monday Night Football, featuring teams that are a combined 1-10.
4. Tony Gonzalez will not be traded—as of now. We're 10 days from the trading deadline, and Gonzalez appears to want to play out the string in Atlanta (barring a stunning turnaround by the disappointing and injured Falcons) rather than be traded to a contender. "I want to be with these guys," Gonzalez said Thursday. Whatever you say.
5. The Wideout Bowl in Detroit. Calvin Johnson versus A.J. Green … and without great corners to cover them. Could be a touchdown-fest—and I don't mean by Joseph (Sent Me A Selfie) Fauria.
6. The Don't Take Out The Garbage Bowl in New Jersey. Fitting, isn't it, that a game of this title is played in Tony Soprano's waste-management backyard? Rex Ryan told his players to put their full concentration of beating the Patriots at home this week, and that includes no chores or other distracting evening pastimes (nudge, nudge). Nothing can stand in the way of beating the Patriots! I would advise Rex to see if he could do something about that Brady guy while he's at it.
7. Case Keenum's first NFL start. Let's see. The NCAA's all-time touchdown-passing leader (155) hasn't started a football game in 21 months, his final game at the University of Houston. He has the 2-4 Texans' 2013 fate in his hands due to Matt Schaub's inefficiency and injury, and Keenum's big chance will come at unbeaten Kansas City. A team, by the way, that had 10 sacks last week and has more sacks in six weeks than it had all last season. Wear the Kevlar flak jacket, kid.
8. The Rivalry That Used To Rock. The Ravens and Steelers meet Sunday in Pittsburgh, and they're a combined 4-7. Yikes. Even a year ago at this time, this was the best rivalry in football. Now it's a nice game between two teams desperate to stay relevant.
9. Nick Foles tries to win the job for good. Michael Vick was a 53 percent passer this year before popping a hammy and giving way to Nick Foles, who doesn't have the wheels but does have the accuracy—67 percent in his game and a half in relief of Vick, with five touchdowns, no turnovers and only two sacks. A good start against Dallas, and Foles won't have to look over his shoulder at Vick. He'll likely win the job.
10. The rushing race. Quietly, LeSean McCoy is running away with it; he has a 99-yard lead over Arian Foster, and Adrian Peterson is 148 yards off the pace (but has played one fewer game, thanks to a Week 5 bye). This is as boring a year for the backs as I can recall. In three of his six games this year, McCoy's been held under 75 yards. Just not an electric back in the league so far.
No wonder Peyton and the Colts lost all those playoff games with Irsay as their owner. Poor Luck.
I would advise Rex to see if he could do something about that Brady guy while he's at it.
Crybaby Brady averages 1.5 TD per game and 241.4 yards per game against the Jets in 22 career games, she wasn't exactly speculator in their previous meeting this year either.
It's Ok for the media to say Peyton's the best regular season quarterback ever, but he can't win in the playoffs, yet it's not okay for the owner to say he is changing his model a bit to become more balanced because we only won one SB during all those winning seasons. . He has been saying this since he hired Grigson, so there was nothing new here and he said it this time 4 weeks ago but they didn't print it until this week because of the game. So there was no intent to mess with Peyton or any other things he's being accused of. I think cutting Peyton was the hardest thing Indy and Irsay have ever gone though. I think Irsay really cares about not only Peyton but all his players. He does great things for people to help when they need it. I really wish the media had not made a deal out of nothing especially when the media has said the very same thing all along. They have ruined what will most likely be Peyton's last game in LOS. A chance for us to say goodbye and wish him well. They could have created something else to hype this game instead of making Indy look bad.
And all those Denver fans have to realize if not for the Irsay family they would never of had Peyton or Elway so they owe their football lives to the Irsay family. They sound a little bit ungrateful to me.
After reading this article I am less excited to see the Sunday night game than before. It is after all on NBC - the writer's employer - and if it's going to be 3 hours of Manning this and Manning that I'll just as soon follow online. The Dungy bit at the half will be cringe inducing.
"Just not an electric back in the league so far."
LeSean McCoy is on pace for almost 1700 yards rushing (on a 5 yards per carry) and 600+ yards receiving. On top of that you will see him make more people miss than any back in football right now. I know we may not see another 2000 yard rusher this year, but that is pretty typical. If McCoy isn't an electric back this year I'm not sure what we should be looking for. Perhaps Mr. King just doesn't get around to watching the Eagles play.
Peter King can hardly contain himself right now. He is counting down the minutes to Sunday night....."Manning Irsay Manning Irsay Manning Irsay Manning Irsay Manning Irsay...." HIs head might possibly blow up before the game...
Brett Favre returning to Lambeau Field with the Vikings was must-see TV.
"(Pack 51, Cards 45, 2009 Wild Card" Really? I know the Cards caught lightning in a bottle for a couple of years and the Packers have been consistently good but the Cardinals really did win that game, 51-to-45. Correction, please?
Good point, Susan, about the Irsays supplying Denver with a couple of mighty fine quarterbacks. Without Elway there would be no Lombardi trophies in Denver.
@WCoastPro Although King does work for several companies, his main employment is Sports Illustrated, not NBC.
@RandallAllen The days of proof reading for corrections is long past. Its an issue with all publications these days, don't know if it's a lack of personnel or just pure laziness.
@RandallAllen Yeah, the Cards won that game. With Karlos Dansby's hand all over Rodgers' face mask in front of the referee.

With that, Shaz throws Ano Doom over the top rope, as Shaz grabs a mic, with mixed reactions from the crowd. However, Shaz smirks before helping Juarez to his feet, before looking at Ano Doom.
Shaz: Last week, at Resurrection. I made my presence in the JBW known, as I defeated Ano Doom. All his threats, were absolute nonsense because at the end of the day- they didn't even turn out to be true.
Shaz get's cheered by the crowd as he smirks.
Shaz: And also, I defeated Ano Doom in classy fashion. I did something that some superstars in the back can't do to save their lives. I knocked Ano Doom out. I proved to the world that I am the superior one by making Ano Doom feel the wrath of the Shaz-Ma-Taz! And honestly, it felt way better than sex.
But you see, we all have those moments, where we wanna make up for losing momentum. And I will admit that I have done that on several occasions.
And tonight, I've seen that you've tried to do exactly that; trying to regain the momentum you lost at Resurrection by beating Eddie Juarez. However once again, I have permission to say that...
You. Have. Failed.
Crowd cheer at Shaz as he smirks.
Shaz: Because that is what your entire, wrestling career revolves around Doom- failure. And part of you being a failure, is another reason why I'm here in the JBW. I am here to clean out what doesn't belong in JBW, because I don't appreciate the fact that there is rubbish at Zero Gravity, and KillZone.
People seem to think that now JBW are under new management, it's suddenly been fixed, it's now fresh all of a sudden. However, it isn't. Not until I go crazy and kick your bollocks in one more time.
Crowd go insane with the cheers.
Shaz: Doom, people are too scared to speak the truth, purely based on the fact, that you are a monster. However, you're a harmless monster. You're even more harmless from Sulley and Mike from Monsters Inc! And that was shown at Resurrection, because everytime you executed a move on me, it was like getting punched by a little baby. That's how weak it was. And that is how weak, you are.
Shaz throws his mic down on Doom's head before heading to the back, as the crowd cheer him on as we head to commercial.

Use Wikipedia as a Marketing Tool
In the age of social media, you can use Wikipedia — the world's online encyclopedia –- as a marketing tool. Small businesses are find that getting a listing in Wikipedia can help validate their existence and more.
"If you're consumer-facing, it's important to be in Wikipedia," says Sharon Nieuwenhuis, account manager at RLM PR, a public relations firm that offers Wikipedia placement and article correction among its services. "It's a way of proving legitimacy, and not being in there has become something of a stigma. People go to Wikipedia to find basic information about your organization, and if they don't find it, they think, 'Why should I pay attention to you?'"
Appearing in Wikipedia can contribute to the bottom line. "If our potential customers want to learn about something, they either go to a vendor company's website or Wikipedia, or to Google," says Steve Goodman, CEO of PacketTrap, which provides network management software and is the subject of a Wikipedia article. And Google search results often lead right back to Wikipedia, he notes. "We track where our customers come from, and there is no question that Wikipedia is a driver."
Getting into Wikipedia
If getting into Wikipedia is highly desirable, it also seems close to impossible to many companies who've tried it — including PacketTrap. "We went about it the wrong way," Goodman says. "Three months after launching, we began persistently putting up pages about ourselves and the feedback we got was that it wasn't relevant, and that you are not supposed to create an article about your own company. We were called a 'candidate for speedy deletion.'" In fact, PacketTrap executives never succeeded in getting into Wikipedia — they merely stopped trying. About six months later, an article about PacketTrap appeared, and Goodman still doesn't know who put it there.
"Wikipedia is a complex culture, and sometimes it can feel like the free encyclopedia everyone can edit — except me," acknowledges Jay Walsh, a spokesperson for the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit organization that oversees Wikipedia. He notes that Wikimedia has only about 30 paid staff, and that Wikipedia is edited by a huge number of volunteers. And he says, though it's not an absolute rule, people are strongly discouraged from creating articles about themselves or their organizations because the site strives for neutrality.
If you want your organization to be listed in Wikipedia, Walsh and others who've succeeded recommend the following steps:
- Begin with a general PR campaign. The more mentions you have in the press, and the more visibility you have in social media and blogs, the more likely you are to seem legitimate and "notable" — a precondition for inclusion. Make sure your website is up-to-date, and offers complete information on your company too. Goodman says reaching out to the blogosphere is likely what got his company in.
- Volunteer for Wikipedia. Most Wikipedia volunteers write on many different subjects, and may look unkindly on you if your only goal is to promote your company or products. Spend a little time adding information to those subjects where you have expertise, which can include things like your school, your home town, and your industry. Or spend a little time fixing the grammar on an existing entry. This will both win friends and give you a valuable inside view of how Wikipedia works.
- Search your company name on Wikipedia. "It may seem obvious, but not everyone checks to see if they're in there already," Walsh says. You may find that your company is mentioned in a different article, rather than having an article of its own. If it is, he suggests adding information to that article rather than starting a whole new one.
- Find out if you have in-house expertise. Check to see if anyone already working at your company is a Wikipedia volunteer. If so, that person can be a valuable resource to help you find your best strategy for getting included.
- Learn from Wikipedia itself. There are many hundreds of articles in Wikipedia — as well as a wizard — telling users how to create articles and what the rules are. If you still have questions, Walsh recommends sending them to email@example.com, making your inquiry as clear and detailed as possible and bearing in mind that the responder will likely be a volunteer. You can also ask for help on the discussion page that goes with the article you are trying to create. "The first time I tried to create a Wikipedia article I had a hell of a time," Nieuwenhuis says. "But then I saw that you can ask to have people adopt you. It's like having someone look over your shoulder and either making corrections for you or letting you know if you're likely to be flagged for any reason."
- Start with a stub. "Don't write 500 or 1,000-word article right out of the gate — it will be removed almost instantaneously," Walsh warns. Instead, start with a "stub" — an article only a sentence or two long. "Wikipedians see a stub as a challenge," he says, and they may seek out information or images to add. "It's almost always the better approach."
- Include links to third-party sites. Remember that everything you put into a Wikipedia article should be referenced to a previous publication and Wikipedians will look for links to articles about you or other references beyond your own company website. In fact, it's probably a good idea to include these external links first, and consider not including your company's website, at least initially.
- Use the discussion page. Every Wikipedia article comes with a discussion page, and Nieuwenhuis suggests using this liberally to explain, for instance, that you'll be adding more information or links, as well as asking for advice. She also advises setting aside a chunk of time once you post your article, as Wikipedians will likely find it and edit it quickly, and you want to respond right away to any concerns.
- Grow a thick skin. Remember that anyone can write anything about you on Wikipedia, and they may. If faced with an unwarranted attack, your best strategy is to appeal to the Wikipedia community for help, Walsh advises. Editing the article yourself can look like an attempt at censorship. "There's an absolute policy of mine arrived at after months of hard-headedness," Goodman says. "No matter what, no one from our company, including our marketing staff, is allowed to touch our Wikipedia entry."

A report released this week by the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured suggests that regardless the decision of Mississippi's state government on whether or not to expand Medicaid as part of "Obamacare" or the Affordable Care Act (ACA), state Medicaid costs will increase with or without the expansion because those made newly eligible for Medicaid – expanded or not.
"State Medicaid costs will jump $76 billion, or nearly 3 percent, over the next decade if all 50 states decide to expand Medicaid eligibility in 2014 under the federal health law. But state spending on the program would still increase to the tune of $68 billion even if not a single one opts for the expansion," according to the study released Monday by the commission.
Depending on one's political and fiscal frame of reference on the question of expanding Medicaid in Mississippi under the ACA, the Kaiser report offers something for everyone.
For opponents of Medicaid expansion in Mississippi, which to date includes state Republican heavyweights like Gov. Phil Bryant, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn, the report supports the contention the Medicaid expansion can't be accomplished without increased costs to state government.
"States are deciding whether to expand the Medicaid program, and they clearly will be balancing improvements in coverage against new costs for states," said Diane Rowland, executive director of the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured upon release of the study. "While some states will see net savings, others will need to weigh the trade-offs between small increases in state spending in return for large gains in coverage supported by mostly federal dollars."
The report clearly names Mississippi – given the large number of uninsured and Medicaid eligible under the ACA – as one of the states that will see such cost hikes.
Yet for proponents of Medicaid expansion – which includes most of the state's hospitals, public health care advocates and advocates for the poor – also could use the Kaiser reports to support their argument that Medicaid expansion will serve as relief to the state's large number of uninsured and provide a boost to the state's economy as well.
In announcing the report, Kaiser officials said: "States that had already expanded coverage to adults – such as Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Maine, and Maryland – may see savings under the ACA due primarily to higher matching rates for already covered populations. Meanwhile states with relatively large uninsured populations prior to any coverage expansions – including Nevada, Florida and Mississippi – are likely to see higher increases in state costs, but these increases are expected to be small relative to decreases in the uninsured and increases in federal matching funds."
While the Kaiser Foundation is a nonpartisan group, it's safe to say that it's not exactly a bastion of conservative fiscal policy. So when a Kaiser report outlines that the Mississippi Legislature faces a choice between raising public health care costs and expanding health care coverage to the state's poor and working poor, one can be assured that the increased costs are real and so is the potential to help the uninsured.
The report claims that if uncompensated care costs are considered, increased cost "even in states with the highest level of increased Medicaid costs from the expansion, new state spending relative to general fund expenditures is approximately 1 percent or less."
Opponents points to possible future federal policy shifts in calculating the state's share of Medicaid expenditures after expansion as the greatest danger in expanding Mississippi's Medicaid program. That, of course, and the small matter of federal debts and deficits coupled with growing entitlement programs like the ACA.

[GUIDE] The big soldier guide - Revenga - 21-06-2009 04:20 PM
Because I don't see a lot of soldier guides around here, I'll make one myself.
This guide tells how I play, so if you disagree with some parts of the guide, you can always leave a comment and if I think you're right I'll change that part..
Please notice that this is just a guide and that this is not the ultimate guide or something...
Soldiers are most likely the most "basic" players in the game, they are the best in infantry battles, they have the best mid- and short-range weapons, they walk faster than gunners (not if they use leg it) and at long range they can still kill snipers ...
In this guide I'll explain how to take the battlefield as a soldier and how to own those gunners and commando's..
Now let's start! =D
As weapons you should use the close ranged SMG and the very far-ranged pistol.
Combat Medicine (CM)
Combat Medicine is a must for every soldier.
Get it to level 5 as quick as possible and always use it when you can heal yourself or your teammates.
When you are fighting, don't use it to fast, just keep an eye on your health and when it's getting too low, use it.
Notice that your heal will get stronger when you heal your teammates too, and that you're always stronger with your teammates.
Always try to heal your teammates too!
Grenade Spam (GS)
Since the new version GS is less usefull than BS: it's not effective at a long range and its less powerfull and handy in short ranged battles.
Burning Bullets (BB)
A very handy ability, but not worth to train it further than lvl 1 before lvl 20: the damage will only increase by 16 and the cooldown is that not a problem.
Always use it in mid or far-ranged combat: it will disturb your enemys to hit you for a short period of time and it will increase your damage by 20.
When you think you saw a commando, shoot around with BB activated to spot that annoying knifer!
Blasting Strike (BS)
Train it to lvl 2 at least before lvl 20: it's good to avoid winclips, tank smashes and roadkills and very good in close combat.
Also use it when you're beeing knifed by a commando.
When attacked by a gunner, use it to get him away from you
Use it to blast people away when you need to get cover.
When you're out of bullets it's good to use BS while reloading.
BS can deal damage when the players hits something in the air, so it's always worth trying in maps like VV..
Either train BB or BS to lvl to lvl 3 or 4 after you trained CM, GS and 6th sence.
A short list of what abilities you should have at lvl 20 and lvl 30
Level 20:
CM lvl 5
BS at least lvl 2
BB lvl 1
6th sence lvl 1 (6th sence is not necessary, so can can also use it to train another ability)
lvl 30:
CM lvl 5
BB: at least lvl 1
BS: at least lvl 3
6th sence at least lvl 1 (6th sence is not necessary, so can can also use it to train another ability)
You'll have 6/7 HP left then to fill up GS, BS or BB
It's very important to have BB and BS at least at lvl 1: they are all very powerfull at level one, and if you have them all, you'll be an soldier that can handle every situation in the game.
Everyone keeps telling commandos are overpowered, but when you act a little smart, you'll kill them like they were peanuts.
Use Blasting strike while you're being knifed..
If the commando is still stealthed, use BB before you blast him away, so he can't escape.
troop traps (TT)
Just shoot that little bombs..
They are easy to spot and you just have to hit them from a safe distance..
Royal TT are green, National TT are grey.
Snipers are a little more complicated...
1. Always keep an eye on your health. If you see you're getting shot, get cover immediatly!
Just hide behind a wall or something..
2. Now heal yourself!
3. Watch the little lines to spot them or just use 6th sence.
4. Strafe in different directions while you shoot the sniper with your pistol: you'll deal more damage than we will, because he will always miss you..
Always try to fight at mid-range: use BS and don't run at your opponent..
Strafe from the left to the right do dodge his bullets, very good against the shotgun..
Remember that soldiers are the best skilled players in normal combat..
Try to hide and use your BS, sticky TNT and grenades to gain the advantage.
If you can enter a tank yourself, just do it..
Try to get to a gunner, tank buster is very usefull and he might share leg-it with you, very handy to get your TNT on the tank and to walk around him so he can't hit you..
Final Hint
Change the number keys to activate your abilities by better keys (M2 and -M2 to change weapon, right mouse button to activate BB, C to activate BS, ...)
End of Guide, hope you liked it...

RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - nFNN - 21-06-2009 04:52 PM
Nice guide, though I'd still advice everyone to max BB and BS
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - 'J.K. - 21-06-2009 05:06 PM
Nice guide!
But i also prefer Bunring Bullets and Blasting Strike!
I havent skilled Grenade Spam and im doing fine without it.
So it isnt a must have skill like Combat Medicine.
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - Revenga - 21-06-2009 05:09 PM
Having it at lvl 1 is already very good
Blasting strike doesn't give direct damage and it doesn't get that better by training it..
Still, having it at lvl 3 or 4 just like GS can be very handy to blast away gunners and tanks even better
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - Revenga - 21-06-2009 06:08 PM
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - relica - 21-06-2009 06:16 PM
I believe the higher your BS, the more "up, up and away" your enemies go. Might be wrong but i had that impression.
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - Revenga - 21-06-2009 06:33 PM
It's true
BS is very handy, but GS is underestimated..
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - Nefaroth - 21-06-2009 07:10 PM
Gerhart's Greatest/Harry's Hand Cannon. Same ability to pick someone off from across the map, just without a scope. Essential for anyone wishing to put snipers in their place (the ground). Coupled with sixth sense, you'll get called a hacker.
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - Revenga - 21-06-2009 07:51 PM
never tried it
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - HIT47 - 21-06-2009 08:10 PM
Grenade spam is waste of Hero points!

A great idea, provided you remember to change it back whenever you go to play another character, which I never do, as the controls are linked to the install, not any particular account or character if I remember correctly.
Also, remember to reassign the skill-scroll button to something, I suggest = and -, or *fun* things happen the next time you start BFH.
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - Shinku - 22-06-2009 12:05 AM
Only a misstypping: You put Buring in the title when it must be t's Burning but this is a good guide ^^
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - Kellino45 - 22-06-2009 01:11 AM
You should also acknowledge the super long range pistol. I use it against those pesky snipers and it does around 20 damage per hit. In the description it says its very long (yes) and very slow rate of fire, but its definitely not. It shoots rather fast actually. I recommend replacing the shotgun with it.
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - DukeHazzard - 22-06-2009 05:02 AM
I agree with the short range smg/long range pistol combo. It's my prefered combo to use, and I put a lot of snipers in their place (lol, the ground, funny) with my pistol, cover, and what not. Also, the pistol does excellent damge even at close range, so if you run out of bullets on your smg, and you start to reload, switch to your pistol to continue to get shots off, and when your smg finishes (it will continue to reload even if your not holding it) you can go back to rapid fire mode.
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - Revenga - 22-06-2009 12:12 PM
yesterday I played a lot and the pistol/SMG combination is really better
thx all =D
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - Revenga - 22-06-2009 12:17 PM
Edited guide: pistol instead of long ranged SMG
Also I banned GS
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - nFNN - 23-06-2009 11:06 PM
You could also state that Blasting Strike stacks (double, triple, quadruple etc. BS is crazy )
I don't know if BB stacks as well, but I think it does.
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - Revenga - 24-06-2009 09:28 AM
BS stacking is really fun
just doesn't happen enough =|
RE: [GUIDE] The big soldier guide - Marnir - 24-06-2009 07:15 PM
You severly underestimate the usefullness of 6th sence. Its one of the greatest abillities, knowing thw exact position of your enemy makes it possible for ytou to ambush him and kill him before he even realises where you are.
Also, I would not max out CM as fast as I could, the extra % you get in the end is not that important, its better to invest hero points in BB och 6th sence

Okaloosa County's longtime Emergency Medical Services chief has received a prestigious state award for his work overseeing the division.
Al Herndon was given the award in Orlando last week, less than two months before he is set to retire after almost 40 years in the field.
"I'm very pleased and proud," said Dino Villani, the county's public safety director. "He's very deserving of this award. He's had quite a bit of accomplishments over many years in EMS and has really made a great impact in the field, especially in Florida."
The Florida Association of County EMS chose Herndon for its Mark Fingeret Administrative Leadership and Excellence Award this year. It recognizes his leadership and contributions to pre-hospital care in Okaloosa County and across the state, according to a news release.
Herndon took over as Okaloosa's EMS chief in 2000. He oversees more than 100 employees and an almost $8 million budget.
He said some of his major accomplishments have included bringing the latest innovations to the division and implementing cost-saving measures.
He oversaw EMS' switch to medium-duty ambulances, which can be refurbished for $12,000 to $15,000 versus the $95,000 it costs to remount previous trucks.
"That saves a tremendous amount of money," he said.
The division now uses automatic pro-lift battery-powered stretchers to help relieve some of the physical strain on EMS personnel. Crews also use advanced airway equipment that saves on the number of times patients have to be intubated, which reduces costs for insurers, hospitals and families, Herndon said.
"That's a really innovative thing we've been doing here for some time," he said.
Villani said Herndon's demeanor and extensive knowledge of the EMS field have been invaluable.
"He's very personable and knows how to deal with people, and he's also extremely knowledgeable not only with medical issues but the EMS industry itself," he said. "With that kind of pedigree and background, he's able to contribute in ways that the average person wouldn't."
Herndon is set to retire in September. His youngest child is just starting college and the house is paid off, so it's a good time, he said.
The man who likes hot rods plans to take some road trips, including one along Route 66.
"I just want to get out on the road and see America," he said.
Villani said it is going to be hard to fill Herndon's shoes.
"We wish we could have him a few more years," he said.

Death penalty streamlining stalls
SD Senator: 'We're talking about coldblooded killers'
"The main reason for delay is defendants do not have attorneys appointed for them. This bill does nothing to resolve that problem," Felizzatto said.
Allen Hopper, an attorney for the ACLU, said every state but Alabama requires automatic appeals in capital cases.
Hopper added that appellate courts would have to hire specialized staff to handle death penalty appeals that are notoriously complex. "This is not going to save money ... It' going to cost more money," he said.
California spends about $184 million a year on the slightly more than 700 still on death row, according to supporters of a repeal.
The committee rejected Anderson's measures on party-line votes, with Democrats opposed.

Questioning the Seaworthiness of Bond Funds
By DIANA B. HENRIQUES
Bond mutual funds and bond exchange-traded funds are increasingly popular, but some regulators say they could become sources of instability in a crisis.
Tuesday, July 7, 2015
Momentum flagged in economic growth and corporate earnings, but the dollar reached a 12-year high.
Bond mutual funds and bond exchange-traded funds are increasingly popular, but some regulators say they could become sources of instability in a crisis.
A vanilla portfolio that balances stocks and bonds can yield solid returns that buffer against market volatility.
Investors can reduce exposure to currency fluctuations by choosing certain types of funds, but some argue it is better to ignore the ups and downs.
Energy stocks dropped while consumer discretionary shares rose on the assumption that people will put more cash into nonessential products and services.
While they may not be ideal, markets in countries on the outer edges of publicly traded investments can provide returns and diversification.
Underappreciated stocks in health care and Japan — an industry and a nation in transition — provided gains for three funds in the first quarter.
New books take a look at impact investing, which offers social gains while generating financial return, and the benefits of taking on debt in retirement.
More stringent postcrisis rules have decreased risk in money market mutual funds, but they have not completely assuaged regulators' worries.
The sector's resurgence has been attributed to the stabilization of earnings in big pharmaceutical companies and a shift in perceptions of biotech.
