Remember Me
In most recent and unreleased work, listeners at live shows and an exclusive few whom have received leaked tracks / demos, have notated the effect of "sonic matrices" in almost every individual song. They explain these matrices as being a certain, organized combination and cluster of sonic melodies and rhythms that aesthetically take place, all at one specific, privileged moment, sometimes ranging from 3 seconds to a full minute. These overtones include drone-based sections, ambient interludes, hugely (and sometimes ear-piercingly) loud sections in contrast with following or preceding softer verses, or b-sections.
They have also been classified as an "underground" act, as a vast knowledge is not widely known, and is spread far-outside of where they are actually located. This may have emerged because of their spaced touring for months at a time, and lack of "local shows".
The band has claimed to record, produce, and engineer all music themselves, but it is unconfirmed if the drum tracks are done in their studio, or at a third-party professional studio. The band has notated that they have been spending an accumulative time of almost two solid years working on a full length album, Lionel (guitarist, vocalist) was once recorded in an interview in Fort Collins, CO, stating that, "…the recording process is more of an 'approach' or, per se, a 'modus operandi', which means a 'manner of operating', because of various experimental elements we are trying to discover as well as lay down simultaneously." Lionel also stated, later in the interview, "…well, I could give an example of one component of our album that takes our (and your) precious time - at one point I was sitting in my studio, overdubbing on & off for a two week duration, recording 800-1200 guitar parts on one 14 second section of a new song. I want it to be big, literally. I don't want it to sound big, that would be an illusion, instead of an 'allusion' to what we're trying to accomplish with music."

Welcome to SpaceSimCentral.com
It was a daring move to follow those weak comm signals out this far into space, but you lucked out. You have found SpaceSimCentral, a station that has been tucked away for some time at the edges of our galaxy where only the brave and adventurous travelers dare to go to seek fame and fortune. SpaceSimCentral is one of the last stops before you set off on new adventures in the vastness of deep space. We do get many travelers that tell great tales of merchandise and even things you can get for free if you know where to look. So, finish docking your ship and check-in your valuables and spend some time chatting with the locals on the station and maybe you will discover something you have been waiting a whole lifetime to find.
Enough of the intro, I'm DarkOne the Admin of SpaceSimCentral and we have been around a few years and are striving to become a great source of news, lore and a file repository for your favorite and upcoming space/scifi gaming titles. I have always tried very hard to make SSC a community where both developers and gamers can discuss what they want to see in games and developers can show off what they are working on and get honest feedback from gamers first hand. To all of the developers out there, SSC has always been very accommodating to developers in that we give them free forum space here on SSC to discuss their games with the public. There are quite a few projects going on here at SSC so you might as well join in on the fun as well.
So have fun exploring SSC, the site is going through some major changes and will probably continue to change for the coming months. But this is for the good and I look forward to peoples opinions on what they think and with any luck I can get some members to write up some articles and blogs about their favorite games so I don't have to do all the work. So checkout what SSC has to offer and do register and let us know of any new games or help us out with locating old mods/patches. Enjoy the community and see you in the forums.

'Terraforming Begins'
Moonbase v0.2.7b
I'm enjoying getting back into the game and some great new additions to the latest beta v0.2.7b.
Especially like the UI for the colonists, lots of potential to balance the training, health and happiness and was the depth I was looking for past base construction.
I'm noticing that my funds are dropping like a stone so I quickly need to figure out how to balance those finances, perhaps I was too generous with healthcare and medical provisions - no wonder all my colonists are super happy and healthy!
Is it my imagination or did the factories in old beta used to generate fuel, can't seem to find a construction that gives a healthy startup of fuel in this version, which I presume is required for the repair yard ships - I'll keep on looking. Not many low level building's that provide steady income either, science facility brings some money in however costs more to pay the wages of the staff to run it.
Despite a few bugs and crash's does appear to be the most stable version thus far imo. Keep up the good work and loving the new lighting flares (see attached screenshot).
The Pleiades Corp. & new medium Corvette!
New faction up: Pleiades Corporation [PLC] with accompanying star charts over on the blog.
The Pleiades Corporation controls the Pleiades Stellar System, a full 'core' system of the Terran Imperium. Settled in 2362 by the presumed lost worldship UES Halifax, the Halifax governors set about extracting mineral wealth from all corners of the stellar system and returning it to the populated twin worlds of Paradijis and Eden.
Also some images of our latest Pleiades ship dubbed the 'Medium Corvette' also with a 3D sketchfab view of the model again, over on the blog
Pioneer crashes when loading a saved game
I've loved playing this game again but I've run into a major problem.
The game starts fine and plays well, but when I try to "continue" after exiting the game, or "load" a game, it crashes. Not every time though. The one single exception is I have a single saved game that will load. I've played making frequent saves of progress and none, but that ONE saved game, will load without crashing Pioneer.
Just to be clear, I can start a new game just fine. The problem only exists with loading games.
I've tried re-downloading Pioneer and playing but I still get the same problem. I tried making a copy of the good save, deleting the content (in Notepad) and pasting the content from another save, but that doesn't work either. One thing I noticed is the good save file is very small while the bad ones are considerably larger.
I'm on a Windows 7, 64bit machine.
I would appreciate some help solving this as I've had a blast playing and I'd like to be able to save progress. I'll post a link to the good saved game and one that doesn't load without crashing. I'm hoping someone will try one of the bad files and see if it fails on their computer too. That will indicate whether the file is bad or the issue is with my computer.
Here is the good save file.
Here are several bad ones.

Objects In Space
Spotted this on RPS the other day, looks like it could be a interesting spin on the space trading game.http://www.rockpaper...rading-stealth/
Website http://objectsgame.com/
Objects in Space is a modempunk stealth space-trading game set in Apollo – a huge cluster of star systems dozens of lightyears away from Earth. You are a lonesome ship's captain, buying and selling wares in order to keep your bucket of bolts afloat and stay one step ahead of pirates, organised criminals, corrupt governments and shady laws.
Combat in Objects in Space sees ships treated more like submarines than dogfighters. You'll be running silent, planning manoeuvres far ahead of time and engaging in deadly games of cat-and-mouse with nebulous enemies.
You will command your one-person ship from the captain's chair. Encounters happen far outside visual range, so rather than close-quarters space shoot-em-ups, you'll be poring over magnetic, gravimetric and radiation scanning arrays trying to locate tiny boxes of metal sometimes flying at millions of miles per hour massive distances away hoping against hope to get a missile lock.
It's up to you to keep your ship's systems running as quietly as possible, going fully 'dark' if you have to, just floating with your current trajectory and speed, hoping to avoid showing up on anyone else's scanners as you traverse some of the most dangerous shipping lanes in space. Of course, one slight calculation error and you may veer off course, forcing you to leak highly detectable emissions to correct your mistake. Be careful.
The Apollo cluster requires absolute vigilance at all times. As you travel from one system to the next, trying to eke out a living, you'll have to keep your eyes on your scanners at all times. You'll have to differentiate in the blink of an eye between an asteroid and a hostile ship.
Your ship is completely customised by you, down to the tiniest component of each module. If your battery craps out, it's your own fault. You decided to go with a cheap Ventarii battery in the first place, and it was out of your stubbornness that you thought a Connext Hap Node built for an Enceladus cruiser without an adapter would be a good idea. Silly you.
You can play it safe in the central systems or design your ship with the ability to outrun, outfight or out-hide your opponents and make your fortune in the outer rims. But be careful! You are just as easily prey as predator in deep space…
Gives the following games and media as inspiration.
- Super Star Trek / EGA Trek
- 688(i) Hunter/Killer / Sub Command/ Dangerous Waters
- Street Rod
- Lightspeed/ Hyperspeed
- Privateer
- Star Trek: 25th Anniversary
- The Terran Trade Authority books by Stewart Cowley
But what it reminds me of most is Omnitrend Universe https://www.mobygame.../game/universe_
Should be one to keep an eye on.

Latest IndieDB news: Some Semblance of Order (new Ship!)
Also covered is a general report of progress, we talk about the reasons for putting up the new roadmap page and there's some fresh media in the galleries showing off the new 'Status Indicators' with ships now able to hide in asteroids and nebulas.
"Work on Omega continues with a Medium Corvette model being unveiled, the artists now report they are 'in the swing' but there's a short break while one of them disappears on holiday for a week. You can view more angles of this great ship over on the blog site soon (Category: Omega) and take a look at the forum posts while you're over there, plenty of people with some interesting things to say have gathered there."

Endless Sky - trading & combat, similar to Escape Vel...
Hello SSC! I'm looking for beta testers for an open source space trading and combat game inspired by the classic Escape Velocity series. Even if all you have time to do is download it and let me know what OS you're using and whether the game runs, that would be a big help. (Mac OS X, 64-bit Windows, and Debian / Ubuntu Linux packages are available.)
In Endless Sky, you start out in a tiny space ship and can work your way up to a massive warship or a fleet of freighters by carrying cargo or passengers, completing missions, or plundering pirates. You can install new engines and weapons, or save up to buy bigger ships or escorts. The main story line takes about 8-16 hours to play through, or you can ignore the story and treat it like a sandbox game.
More screenshots, a gameplay video, and downloads are available on the website:

The Battle of Sol
Hey Everyone,
It's about time I introduce myself to this fantastic community (honestly, I should have done this ages ago). My name is Christopher Stockman and I'm the design lead behind the newly released space-combat game, The Battle of Sol.
Also, I was the design guy behind the space-combat game, SOL: Exodus which released back in 2012 (before everyone and their mom started making them again)
So what exactly is The Battle of Sol?
Back in early 2014 I acquired the original game's IP and assets, got most of the original team back together, and we set out to make a PS4 version of the original game with some improvements.
Along the way we ended up basically remaking the whole game. The Battle of Sol is the end result.
Here are the features:
- Over 20 missions featuring 2 distinct, flyable ships.
- All new game mechanics; give wingmen orders, manage ship subsystems, enhanced targeting, multiple missile types, and new ship physics
- All new environments, sound FX, music, and visual FX.
- All new story and VO featuring top-named talent.
- Revamped AI, some mission branching, and much more.
If you're a fan of space-combat games please check it out!

Wing Commander (1-5) questions
Hello folks,
the only WC title I have played and highly enjoyed is Wing Commander Privateer (1+2), also there is a very nice game conversion based on the Vega Strike engine.
What I missed and never played are the main WC series WC1 up to WC Prophecy (WC5) for which I have a couple of questions.
How do these games play on modern computers, especially WC1-WC4 ? Can you play WC1, WC2 out of Dosbox ?
I know from videos that the in-game missions and the Story are the major gameplay elements, but can you edit your own missions or deviate from the set missions to freely explore?
Are there mods for WC1-WC5 ?
Thanks very much for your feedback!

Sirius Online - Freelancer type MMO?
Hi space-folks,
While cruising the net yesterday, I found a game I haven't heard of yet! It's called Sirius Online and it looks a lot like a Freelancer clone in an MMO setting. The servers are down until the 31st, however it looks promising. Right now they've got a ways to go in community size and exposure so I figured I'd give you all a heads-up!
Their website is:
Currently you can grab early access as part of Indiegala's Friday Bundle for about $3.20. Seems well worth that entry price to me.
And finally here's an obligatory dev preview to check out:

XO character artwork revealed
In XO you'll need to deal with a myriad of personalities in your fleet. Your leadership will either inspire loyalty and sacrifice, or drive your people to treachery and sabotage. Who you choose to elect onto your council will affect your entire fleet.
We've been working on the character artwork for several weeks. Finding something that matched the visual style of the starships and planets was a major challenge, and we're very pleased with the results.
The faces are generated using a system we lovingly call Mr. Potato Head. The shape of each face, mouth, eyes, nose, and accessories will create a unique group of people each time you load the game. We've created different parts suited for male, female, and gender neutral characters.
Think of XO's gameplay as the tactical interface used aboard a battleship – viewed through a holographic interface like the HoloLens. In the universe where XO takes place, I imagine citizens create their own personally unique AR goggles using sophisticated replicators; 3D printers that can make almost anything, allowing function and fashion to meet in strange ways.
XO is heading to Kickstarter and Steam Greenlight on July 20th! Please mark your calendars and sign up for our newsletter, and we'll remind you on day one. Thanks for all your support so far, we can't wait to show you the new gameplay trailer… coming soon!

Introduction and Star Wars Space Combat Testing
Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself and say what a cool community you all have here.
I am wookieejedi and I am the lead developer on the Star Wars Original Trilogy mod. Our goal is to create a game that recreates the space combat from the Original Trilogy. We are using the actively worked on and surprisingly powerful Freespace 2 engine for the mod. If anyone is interested in testing the mod, has any questions or wants to help just shoot me a message or reply.
Here are just a few images if anyone is curious.

Unending Galaxy
Unending Galaxy
After a full year of development, Unending Galaxy has just been released as a stable 1.0 build. While the quest to make an all-in-one space simulation is far from finished, it's still a nice milestone in itself. I can't thank enough everyone who've shown support in any way, shape or form, it means a lot. You can vote for Unending Galaxy on Steam Greenlight too
Unending Galaxy is a top down 2D sandbox, simulation and strategy game based in space. The game allows you to play at any level from being a small time pirate to the ruler of a large empire. You can fight, trade, explore, build factories, and amass a fleet to form your own faction and conquer others'.
The universe is dynamic and fully simulated, NPC ships live their own lives, factions are able to conquer territories and conduct diplomacy while their economy influences their military production and capacity. Missions are generated based on what's actually going on in the galaxy, instead of what is usually the other way around.
Unending Galaxy is available for Windows PC. It's a 100% single-player, offline game with no DRM or advertisement.
Main Features
- Large maps featuring hundreds of sectors and thousands of NPC
- Play on both hand-crafted and procedurally generated maps
- 8 factions, 80 ships and 50 station types, dozens of weapons
- Sandbox gameplay: mine, trade, build, colonize, fight, destroy, scavenge..
- Control multiple ships and switch between them at will
- Build your own empire from the ground up
- No in-game loading screens, real time gameplay with active pause
- Multiple starting scenarios
- And, of course, pirates, space monsters and crazy robots !
- Excellent soundtrack by Alexander Jordan
You can also check the detailed feature list on the wiki.
Where to buy ?
The basic edition is available for free on the official website and while it's not as content packed as the deluxe edition, it's advised to try it first to make sure the game is running well on your system. The full, deluxe edition of the game is currently available at the itch.io and IndieGameStand stores for 9.95$.

Dear folks,
It has been a very difficult situation for us.
To do justice to all the participants and to conform to the challenge theme we have disqualified about 75% of the entries.
Hope for the voters the task is now bit easier.
All the inconvenience caused are regretted.
Regards Admins
EvokeEmotion: HOST: Plenty of entries that show nothing but the flower and some leaves, yet they didn't get disqualified. Enforce your rules consistently, please!
working on this.
jojosardez: "Where do you keep them inside your house ?"
Should the picture contain more details than just the "flower" itself? Because there are some entries which just contains a picture of a flower and some seems was shot outdoor.
The 'My room' part is important.
Outdoor shots / only flower shots are being disqualified.
scooper1: Does this mean cut flowers or growing plants?
any of the two will fit in. but that growing plant must have a flower that's it.
scooper1: Does this mean cut flowers or growing plants?
Both are equally accepted !
(a very pertinent question you have asked, thanks for that)
Jaysun: My first 1st place in a photo challenge! I don't know what to say. I didn't prepare anything.
I'd like to thank all those that made this possible. Praise be to Nikon and Adobe. without you guys, I would've been nothing. I wanna thank my mother, my supportive girlfriend, my kids, and my two cats. Most of all, I'd like to thank the lizard that frequents my bathroom window while I shower. Thank you all! :)
Hope this moment returns many times in your life.
JamesWG: As I read the challenge, I read through "YOUR" window, which I understand to be what you see when you look out of your window. I also took it to mean looking out and from a place you live, work or visit often. Not just any window and certainly not looking into another person's window.
Your point is valid and I agree to that.
But, for the sake of seeing photographs more in number and better in looks we thought of banking on the broader meaning.
Cheers !
Wildbegonia: I disagree about writing notes or titles for that matter. Photography is a visual language in itself therefore, it should speak on its own without the need for words/notes to support it. Someone said in another challenge "you should be able to express yourself with images, leave the words for writers" No?
Dear friend,
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
My words are '...and try to guess the traits of the personality.'
It is just a request to read the photograph and not to read anything else :-)
Happy clicking !
Cheers !
Wildbegonia: Saswata,
It is very nice of you, but IMO I would put a cap on 50 at most 60, and open another challenger version II at a later day. It makes it a easier task for voters (I am talking about DP members, not Facebook) to go thru each and everyone and give fare justice and attention to each entry.
Point noted.
Was also thinking on this note.
From next challenge it will be lesser number of entries per member and the cap will be smaller.
Thanks for mentioning.
Cheers !
Not a single vote after 24 hrs of opening !
Dear friends, any problem you are facing ?
Entry limit has been raised to 200 !
Thanks for the responses !
cheers !
Clemens Roether: Huge number of entries should not qualify because they do not follow rules. Do you place only the qualifying entreis up for voting? Thanks.
I am going by this Wiki definition of 'House' :
'A house is a building or structure that has the ability to be occupied for habitation by humans or other creatures. The term house includes many kinds of dwellings ranging from rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes to complex structures composed of many systems.'
Disqualifying only those which are grossly ignoring the definition.
The limit has been raised to 201 !
Thanks everybody for the response.
Cheers !
scooper1: Dear Host, I hope you're going to DQ all those that are clearly not HOUSES.
I am going by this Wiki definition of 'House' :
'A house is a building or structure that has the ability to be occupied for habitation by humans or other creatures.[1][2] The term house includes many kinds of dwellings ranging from rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes to complex structures composed of many systems.'
Any entry not conforming will be disqualified.
Images by Kipper: Saswata:
Your Challenge "Where I sleep", I am assuming does not have to be the photographer's place where he/she sleeps? The reason I ask is that I have a 17 year old that can make his bed look as if a hurricane has gone through it and I would love to see his face when I show him my entry. Believe me it will not be a staged picture but what we as parents are faced with every morning as we give him his 'Get your Butt Up and At It' talk, advice, suggestion, pleading…….Anyway I am sure you get the picture and I will submit the evidence if you deem it acceptable.
Thanks ~ Kipper
Hey Kipper,
Definitely we are not talking only about the photographer's place.
Looking forward to see hurricane-bed.
Cheers !
jpmalohesr: Just an observation for the host; 38 doesn't divide by 3 evenly so someone could get short changed... This assumes, of course, that all entrants want to post 3 photos..
Point noted jpmalohesr
Soon the limit will be raised to 200.
NO, to 201...
This challenge is also filling up fast... thanks to everyone submitting.
Cheers !
As the entries have been pouring up fast the limit has been raised to 200 !
Keep clicking
Keep posting !
onlooker: Wait, you said "the most important Photograph of my life" but you allow three per entrant? ;)
three ?
Could be more than that !

Pioneer Valley Riverfront Club - Revitalizing Springfield's Riverfront.
Thanks to the generosity of The Harold Grinspoon Foundation, The Beveridge Family Foundation and The Anthony Lovell Foundation, PVRC has a $20,000 matching fund for Valley Gives Day 2014!
Core to our mission and commitment to our community is our unwavering belief that socioeconomics never be a factor or barrier to anyone participating in PVRC programs or events. To this end we provide significant financial aid based on need. So far his year, nearly 50% of all participants in PVRC programming received some form of assistance.
Thanks to a Center for Disease Control and Prevention grant awarded through the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, PVRC is a proud contributor to the LiveWell Springfield coalition. Live Well Springfield is a community based coalition that includes over 20 organizations working in Springfield. The coalition supports a grassroots movement towards health equity through improving access to healthy eating and active living opportunities.
This past year, PVRC has held numerous, high profile events. In June PVRC hosted the 2nd Annual Springfield Dragon Boat Festival, sponsored by Mass Mutual, LiveWell Springfield, United Water and Rays of Hope, which drew 600 participants and spectators to Springfield's riverfront. In addition, in September PVRC held its 10th annual regatta, drawing nearly 150 rowers to the Connecticut River.
PVRC has demonstrated strong growth over the course of the past two years. Over this time PVRC has engaged over 750 people annually in healthy activity on the Springfield's riverfront.
Of these participants we are particularly excited about the Healthy Prescription pilot program, which is a LiveWell inspired collaboration between PVRC and Baystate-Brightwood Healthy Clinic. The program has grown to 20 regular participants, who are prescribed exercise by their providers and 'fill' their prescriptions at PVRC. Healthy Prescription participants are part of a PVRC membership that has nearly doubled to 170 members since 2012.
Of course, rowing is the backbone of PVRC and we are happy to show continued growth of our high school rowing program. This fall the number of rowers nearly doubled to 66 rowers. The Springfield Crew is comprised of students from schools throughout the Greater Springfield area.
PVRC's dragon boat program continues to pique interest and excite newcomers. Today our program is comprised of nearly 30 paddlers. Thanks to a grant from Rays of Hope, our dragon boat programs offers free memberships to all breast cancer survivors.

The term Mawlid is also used in some parts of the world, such as Egypt, as a generic term for the birthday celebrations of other historical religious figures such as Sufi saints.

|* Confirmed date. All other dates are estimates, since the actual date may vary according to the sighting of the moon for the start of the month.
The first public celebrations by Sunnis took place in twelfth-century Syria, under the rule of Nur ad-Din. Though there is no firm evidence to indicate the reason for the adoption of the Shi'ite festival by the Sunnis, some theorise the celebrations took hold to counter Christian influence in places such as Spain and Morocco. The practice was briefly halted by the Ayoubides when they came to power, and it became an event confined to family circles It regained status as an official event again in 1207 when it was re-introduced by Muzaffar ad-din, the brother-in-law of Saladin, in Arbil, a town near Mosul, Iraq.
The practice spread throughout the Muslim world, assimilating local customs, to places such as Cairo, where folklore and Sufic practices greatly influenced the celebrations. By 1588 it had spread to the court of Murad III, Sultan of the Ottoman empire. In 1910, it was given official status as a national festival throughout the Ottoman empire. Today it is an official holiday in many parts of the world.
Where Mawlid is celebrated in a carnival manner, large street processions are held and homes or mosques are decorated. Charity and food is distributed, and stories about the life of Muhammad are narrated with recitation of poetry by children. Scholars and poets celebrate by reciting Qaṣīda al-Burda Sharif, the famous poem by 13th century Arabic Sufi Busiri.
Mawlid is celebrated in most Muslim countries, and in other countries where Muslims have a presence, such as India, Britain, and Canada. and Canada Saudi Arabia is the only Muslim country where Mawlid is not an official public holiday, but some elite Hijazi families have revived the mawlid there. Participation in the ritual celebration of popular Islamic holidays is seen as an expression of the Islamic revival.
Among non-Muslim countries, India is noted for its Mawlid festivities. The relics of the Muhammed are displayed after the morning prayers in the Indian states of Jammu and Kashmir at Hazratbal shrine, on the outskirts of Srinagar. Shab-khawani night-long prayers held at the Hazratbal shrine are attended by thousands.
During Pakistan's Mawlid celebration, the national flag is hoisted on all public buildings, and a 31 gun salute in the federal capital and a 21 gun salute at the provincial headquarters are fired at dawn. The cinemas shows religious rather than secular films on 11th and 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal.
A number of Islamic scholars, such as Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki, a well known Maliki scholar from Saudi Arabia who taught in the Sacred Mosque, Gibril Haddad, and Zaid Shakir, all subscribing to the Sufi movement, and Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the primary scholar of the Muslim Brotherhood movement, have given their approval for the observance of Mawlid. They cite hadith where Muhammad recommended fasting on Mondays, as that was the day he was born and also the day prophecy descended on him. They suggest that fasting on Mondays is also a way of commemorating Muhammad's birthday. However, there is division among them on the lawfulness of the methods of the celebrations. Most accept that it is praiseworthy as long as it is not against sharia (i.e. inappropriate mingling of the sexes, consuming forbidden food or drink such as alcohol, playing music etc).
Notable Sunni scholars who consider Mawlid to be 'bid'ah and forbid its celebration include Muhammad Taqi Usmani, a Hanafi scholar from Pakistan who has served as a judge on the Shariah Appellate Bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan and subscribes to the Deobandi movement, and Abd-al-Aziz ibn Abd-Allah ibn Baaz, who was the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia subscribing to the Salafi movement. Although all agree that the birth of Muhammad was the most significant event in Islamic history, they point out that the companions of Muhammad and the next generation of Muslims did not observe this event. Furthermore, they highlight that Muhammad did not observe the birth or death anniversaries of his family and loved ones, including that of his first wife Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, nor did he advise his followers to observe his birthday.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Zeal 4 Life
I'm originally from New York and lived in Atlanta for two and a half years before moving here to NC. I don't really get out and socialize very much. I love to enjoy life's little things and celebrate life as much as possible. It doesn't take much to please me as long as I'm in good company and having a good time. I've been told that I'm a good listener and am a very caring person. Confidence and honesty is a turn-on just as much as good looks, and I love a woman who i comfortable in her own skin. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, and I would love to have a relationship, but will accept a good friend as well. I wish to meet someone ambitious who I can build a foundation with. I'm not into playing games and am very honest. Love to go out to events and meet new people, (lounges, or even a stroll in the park). I have a good sense of humor and I'm the kind of person you can tell anything. I can be very straightforward and honest, with one's feelings in mind. To know me is to love me and I keep friends for a very long time. If any of this interests you, then your the one I'm looking for. Good luck in finding what your looking for and wish all the best.

Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry, NY
I have a wide variety of favorites. My most recent is starting my own business and learning as much as I can. I love music, sports, current events and art. Nothing beats being indoors with that special someone on a rainy day.
I'm very down to earth the fun-loving type. I tend to find humor in things that may go unnoticed. I spend spare time with friends and family and I strive to better myself, to be the best person I can be spiritually, mentally and physically.
I like to read business related books as well as non-fiction. Anything that I can learn something from or that I can relate to on a realistic level.

Common Dreams has posted the text of Al Gore's speech "'We the People' Must Save Our Constitution." Gore believes President Bush's actions threaten the foundations of our democracy and has called for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate unauthorized wiretapping of American citizens by the National Security Administration.
I gave a speech about Christians who believe that "Democracy is Heresy" to a group of prominent business and civic leaders in Oklahoma City last week. The reaction I received from some of them convinced me that there is little concern for democracy among some of the elites in our society. Their disdain for liberalism is greater than any conceivable threat that could be posed to democracy from the theocratic right.
I suspect that these same elites will discount anything that Gore says. America needs a conservative of conviction and integrity to issue a call to defend the constitution. We have a lot of conservatives with conviction and a few who have integrity, but none, so far, who have been willing to rise to the defense of the constitution.
In my view, nothing demonstrates the bankruptcy of conservative thought in America more than it's willingness to achieve its goals by sacrificing the constitutional "checks and balances" that undergird our system of law.

The DNA Project/Update
It's been many months that myself and members of our team have silently watched the progress of our Bigfoot DNA Project under the guidance of Dr. Melba Ketchum. Silence in this research arena tends to push outsiders to make rash and irresponsible comments. In the technology world, silence about projects is routine, expected and is part of the landscape. In the bigfoot world, people in the past have been boisterous with wild claims, accusations and irresponsible behavior the norm. Our group (North America Bigfoot Search) has been trying to live by a different standard, a professional standard that the rest of the world understands and appreciates.
In the last twelve months you have seen a variety of groups suddenly take interest in bigfoot DNA. Where was that interest four years ago when we started our DNA Project? Dr. Jeff Meldrum has gone to Europe with his interest and utilized the resources of Oxford University in an attempt to develop a DNA sequence on Bigfoot. A weekly show about bigfoot also has just recently found an interest in bigfoot DNA and is trying to exploit this avenue, and there are others. There is not one group that has developed the scientific team and the high number of quality specimens to even come close to what North America Bigfoot Search and Dr. Ketchum's team of esteemed scientists have accomplished.
The public perception of bigfoot, sasquatch and wild men is about to change forever. It has always been our belief that there would come a time when researchers would no longer be calling them animals, apes and human type gorillas, those statements will be reserved for re-runs of your favorite screamers and tree bangers. Yes, you are reading this correctly, times are about to change. I have consistently stated that we are close to a release date. We are very, very close.
Dr. Ketchum and her team of scientists and laboratories have been able to sequence three complete genomes, getting identical results independently verified by different labs. This is not a casual everyday finding, this will cause the scientific community to stand up and take notice. Many people have claimed to know what our results were, nearly everyone was wrong, even some high profile media people that have just recently made comments, all were wrong.
Dr. Ketchum originally found the combination to unlock bigfoot DNA and utilized top scientists in various fields to validate her results. The results were independently verified with the group silently sitting on these findings for months, as the results were validated a third and fourth time. Remember, this isn't one total genome sequence; it's three with dozens and dozens of other findings validating the results. The exact number of specimens, the number of mitochondrial results and the specifics of the scientific white paper will be released very, very soon. The paper is very complex and filled with amazing findings.
Before the world is enveloped in bigfoot, sasquatch mania and we lose sight of the real hero's of this project, I need to address a few of the VERY best researchers in the world. Scott Carpenter, Richard Hucklebridge, Rob Alley and Harvey Pratt have contributed to the knowledge base of the scientists in a way never before accomplished. It was the vision and professional manner that these fine men have and the ability to overcome public ridicule and outright hostility that changed the course of the understanding of bigfoot forever. Where the majority of bigfoot researchers failed in getting specimens on multiple occasions utilizing innovative methods, these men did it.
The one person that was able to unlock the safe to understanding bigfoot DNA, Dr. Melba Ketchum. Where every other scientist gave up and claimed contamination, Dr. Ketchum continued to move forward. Where every other scientist was unable to turn the corner, Dr. Ketchum did. This lady did not understand the word "defeat," she is a true pioneer in her field!
We need to express a sincere "Thank You" to the dozens of others who politely and professionally contributed to our project and the pool of specimens. We could not have done this without you!! Your patience and adherence to the Non-Disclosure Agreement shows your belief in the project and your stoic professionalism.
The days ahead are going to be exciting.
Happy Holidays

Choice and fairness are sometimes cast as values in opposition. This arises from the view that it is unfair to allow some parents to choose their child's school when others won't (or can't). Ultimately, however, choice is the highest form of fairness because it rewards positive behavior and aligns the interests of parents, children, and schools.
This week, I'll examine the issue from a societal perspective. Next week, I will look at choice from the vantage of the individual family.
Some families can afford private school tuition—often more than $40,000 in New York, and close to that figure in several other major cities. Others move to a suburban district with high property taxes that signify (supposedly) good schools. Some apply to gifted and talented programs. In Brooklyn, we even have a few un-zoned district schools that admit students via lottery. When parents exercise these choices, they are not denounced for acting 'unfairly.' The admissions processes of these schools are seldom criticized.
But critics say charter schools that admit kids via lotteries, such as the one my school conducted last week, aren't fair: We don't attract enough needy kids, our needy kids aren't needy enough, we don't serve enough special...
For almost a decade, the National Assessment Governing Board, which oversees the National Assessment of Educational Progress, studied whether and how NAEP could "plausibly estimate" the percentage of U.S. students who "possess the knowledge, skills, and abilities in reading and mathematics that would make them academically prepared for college."
After much analysis and deliberation, the board settled on cut scores on NAEP's twelfth-grade assessments that indicated that students were truly prepared—163 for math (on a three-hundred-point scale) and 302 for reading (on a five-hundred-point point scale). The math cut scores fell between NAEP's basic (141) and proficient (176) achievement levels; for reading, NAGB set the preparedness bar right at proficient (302).
When the 2013 test results came out last year, NAGB reported the results against these benchmarks for the first time, finding that 39 percent of students in the twelfth-grade assessment sample met the preparedness standard for math and 38 percent did so for reading.
These preparedness levels remain controversial. (Among other concerns is the fact that the NAEP is a zero-stakes test for students, so there's reason to wonder how many high school seniors do their best on it.) But NAEP might in fact be our...
This post has been updated with the full text of "A troubling verdict."
This is how it starts: You work with these kids all year. You teach them how to do fractions or find the main idea. They struggle; they make mistakes. They get it. They forget it. You keep at it. Some days you go home with tire tracks on your back, but you come back the next day. They're your kids, even the ones who push your buttons. Especially them.
On test day, you look over their shoulders while proctoring. You cringe. A careless mistake. Another one. You know they know this stuff. You've been over it enough. The one kid, he's bright enough, but unfocused. Always rushing; always has to be done first. Use the remaining time to check your answers, you suggest. "I did," he says.
Your finger comes to rest on his answer sheet. "Check this one."
This is how it ends: In an Atlanta courtroom, with eleven educators convicted of criminal charges in a cheating scandal dating back to 2001. Forty-four schools, 180 educators, thirty-five indictments. The ones convicted Wednesday face up to twenty years in prison. They were all found guilty under...
Andy Smarick is clearly disappointed with the op-ed we authored in the Washington Post. We argued that, for many reasons, the rough balance we have in Washington, D.C. between charter schools and traditional public schools is serving our children well.
We don't want to debate Andy's points one by one. Nor do we want to repeat many of the smart observations made by D.C. Public Charter School Board (PCSB) member (and Smarick's Bellwether colleague) Sara Mead in her recent post.
But we do want to clarify a few points that may have been ambiguous in the Post article, as we fear the lack of clarity may have contributed to Andy's alarm and could possibly concern other education reformers.
First, this does not signal a slowdown in PCSB's authorizing. PCSB has approved seventeen schools in the past three years. There is no intention on the part of PCSB's staff—nor, to our knowledge, PCSB's other board members—to stop approving strong charter applications. And there has been no slowdown in our efforts to support growth by high-performing charters already in D.C. ...
Last year, Mike daydreamed of a future in which autonomous vehicles would shuttle his kids around the Beltway while he was freed to relax and tweet the extra hours away. It's an attractive notion, and not just for reasons of convenience; this is an innovation that could reduce roadway congestion (thus benefiting the economy) and save many of the roughly one-and-a-quarter million lives lost each year in traffic accidents worldwide.
While the achievement of such a vision seems probable someday, it may not happen before the Petrilli boys get their driver's licenses—and not because the technology is lacking. In recent months, nearly every major car company (and even companies previously having little to do with cars, like Apple and Google) have hinted that a bit of their autonomous vehicle magic is just around the corner. So-called "active safety" features have already become more commonplace. Anti-lock braking and stability control have been available for years, but several brands are rapidly adding features that alert you if you deviate from your lane; some can even help you brake and steer.
Now Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, promises...
If you're at all interested in school choice, you really should read a trio of recent reports.
They're unusually informative. The CREDO study on urban chartering found that most city-based charter school sectors are producing substantially more academic growth than comparable district-run schools (others' take on the report here, here, and here).
The Brookings "Education Choice and Competition Index" rates the school choice environment in 107 cities. An interactive tool helps you see how the cities compare with one another on everything from the accessibility of non-assigned educational options and the availability of school information to policies on enrollment, funding, and transportation.
The NACSA report on state policies associated with charter school accountability attempts to describe how laws, regulations, and authorizer practices interact to influence charter quality. The report translates NACSA's excellent "principles and standards" for quality authorizing into a tool for describing, assessing, and comparing states (TBFI Ohio on the report here).
I could write at length about the finer points of each. They all have valuable arguments and findings.
But I want to call your attention to something in particular. The Brookings and NACSA reports assess environmental...
We need to take issue with a point in Andy Smarick's thoughtful review, published in Flypaper, of our new book, A Democratic Constitution for Public Education.
As Andy describes, the book proposes a new local oversight body for public education, the Civic Education Council (CEC). The CEC would have only two powers—annually approve a slate of independently run public schools to operate in the locality and hire a CEO. The CEO would be responsible for conducting the data analysis required to support CEC action and establishing systems to ensure fair treatment of students. The CEC would not have the authority to employ teachers, principals, or administrators other than a small number required to support the CEO.
Andy characterized this arrangement as a continuation of the district and predicted that the transition would never be made, based on the leopard/spots metaphor. But under our plan, the district would be replaced by an entirely new entity, based on new law and established with a totally different set of powers than local school boards now have. It is hard to see how this is the old "district" unless the term is used equivocally (i.e., at one time to describe an organization that operates schools directly...
D.C.'s charter school sector stands as a shining example of what urban chartering can accomplish for kids in need.
It has outstanding results and serves a student population that mirrors the District's. Just as importantly, it refutes the simplistic narrative that a New Orleans-style system is only possible through a natural disaster. The D.C. charter sector has grown methodically for almost two decades, now serving nearly half the city's public school students.
It is demonstrating that the district can be replaced in a gradual, deliberate fashion.
It could offer America's cities an invaluable new example of an all-charter approach. NOLA's pioneering Recovery School District-led system is hugely promising, but D.C.'s Public Charter School Board (PCSB)-led system could potentially show us even better strategies.
Unfortunately—almost unbelievably—that won't come to pass should PCSB's current leadership have its way.
In a Washington Post op-ed and Education Next article, the board's executive director and chair explain that they don't want high-quality charters to become the system or even to predominate. They want "balance" with the district.
Their justification reflects an unwarranted deference to the status quo, a surprising dearth of vision in tackling emergent challenges, and...
This post has been updated with the full text of "The demise of college is greatly exaggerated."
On a snowy December night in 1981, I packed my clothes and stereo into the back of a battered Ford Capri and drove away from SUNY Oswego. I was midway through a restless sophomore year and decided to "take a semester off." I didn't know it at the time, but it turned out to be my last day as a full-time college student.

Paul's and David's contributions over more than two decades have hugely influenced my thinking. I'm honored to be on this panel with them.

First, the book does an excellent job helping the reader understand the district's four categories of activities, which need to be disaggregated, repackaged, and reassigned as the district loses its place as the monopoly school provider.
Second, over the last twenty...
