Architecture for Humanity was a US-based charitable organization that sought architectural solutions to humanitarian crises and brought professional design services to communities in need. Founded in 1999, it laid off its staff and closed down at the beginning of January 2015.
The organization was founded on April 6, 1999, by Cameron Sinclair and Kate Stohr in response to the need for immediate long-term shelter for returning refugees in Kosovo after the region's bloody conflict.[2] After hosting a series of open design competitions, the organization then began taking on a number of built projects, pairing local communities with design professionals to develop a ground up alternative to development and reconstruction.
In 2005 they adopted an "open source" model and were the first organization to utilize the Creative Commons licensing system on a physical structure.[3] To date it has worked in 45 countries and over 2.8 million people who now live, work, learn, gather and heal in 2,348 places helped by Architecture for Humanity design fellows, chapter members and volunteer design professional.[4]
In 2006 the organization published Design Like You Give A Damn: Architectural Responses to Humanitarian Crises,[2] which chronicles the early history. The second volume, DLYGAD: Building Change from the Ground Up. was published in 2012.
Stohr stepped down from the organization in spring 2013 and Sinclair in fall 2013;[5] former studio director Eric Cesal became Executive Director.
The staff were laid off on January 1, 2015, and the organizations San Francisco office was closed down.[2]
The organization provided pro-bono design and construction management services and funding for projects around the world, including developing and building schools in West Africa and Haiti, developing long-term rebuilding efforts in Myanmar after Cyclone Nargis, and constructing sports for social change facilities in Africa and South America. Work has also included long-term reconstruction in India and Sri Lanka following the Indian Ocean Tsunami, rebuilding initiatives in the United States after Hurricane Katrina, as well as hosting a number of international design competitions.
Architecture for Humanity promoted humanitarian and social design through partnerships, advocacy and education based programs. To that end, they have consulted with government bodies and relief organizations on a number of projects, including landmine clearance programs and playground building in the Balkans; transitional housing for IDPs in Afghanistan, Sudan and Grenada; school building in Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda; and earthquake reconstruction assistance in Pakistan, Turkey and Iran. The organization also sought to foster public appreciation for the many ways that architecture and design can improve lives.
While Editor in Chief of Architectural Record, Robert Ivy wrote, "Architecture for Humanity represents the finest of the new breed of architectural leadership, employing architectural skills and directing them for the larger good."[6]
In 2005 Architecture for Humanity received the Index Award - Design to Improve Life (community category), in 2006 it was awarded the Rave Award for Architecture by Wired Magazine and the Innovation of the Year as part of the Observer Newspapers' Ethical Awards, and in 2007 it won the Center for Architecture Foundation Award. In March 2006 its co-founder Cameron Sinclair was awarded the 2006 TED Prize, which awards its recipients "One wish to change the world".
In May 2008, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum awarded Architecture for Humanity the Design Patron Award, highlighting its commitment to improving communities by providing pro bono, sustainable design services.[2][7]
In June 2008 the organization was profiled on Frontline as part of their series of Stories From A Small Planet.[8] That year co-founder Cameron Sinclair was profiled as one of CNN's Principal Voices and on the series Iconoclasts on the Sundance Channel.
Open source architecture[edit]
As a result of the TED Prize the organization worked with Sun Microsystems and Creative Commons to develop the Open Architecture Network, the first open source system for supporting sustainable and humanitarian design and architecture. This network includes project management, file sharing, a resource database and online collaborative design tools. A beta version of the site launched on March 8, 2007, at the 2007 TED Conference. It has garnered over 27,000 members and 5,000 projects. In late 2010 a version of the network was created as a mobile application that is showcased in the Museum of Modern Art.
International design competitions[edit]
Architecture for Humanity has hosted a series of open international design competitions focused on systemic issues of poverty. These have included including Siyathemba youth sports and outreach facility; Outreach - Design Ideas for Mobile Health Clinic to Combat HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa; and Transitional Housing for Kosovo's Returning Refugees.
In 2007 the organization began hosting its competitions on the Open Architecture Network and every two years hosts its premier design competition, The Open Architecture Challenge. That year the inaugural competition, the AMD Open Architecture Challenge, sought ideas to develop innovative off the grid technology centers. Clients include a chocolate co-operative in Ecuador, a youth center in Kenya and a medical organization in Nepal. The competition culminated in the construction of a youth community and resource center in Nairobi, Kenya.
The 2009 Open Architecture Challenge was launched on January 29 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. With support of more than two dozen organizations it invited architects and designers to partner with schools to design cost effective and sustainable classrooms. An international jury convened in July at the 2009 Aspen Ideas festival and selected eight finalists from the tens of thousands of entries from more than 65 countries.
Architecture for Humanity has more than 59 chapters in many countries,[9] many independent charities.[2][10] The chapters worked primarily in their regions. In August 2008, members of Architecture for Humanity New York were declared New Yorkers of the Week by cable news network NY1 for the chapter's first project.[11]
In January 2015, many of the chapters formed an alliance[9] and vowed to continue. Since forming all 59 chapters have joined this federation and continue to work on pro bono projects around the world.

Eco-Friendly Jewelry Line MUJUS Launches New Collection
Celebrity coveted jeweler, Mujus is known for their simple, yet chic designs originating from the Amazonian rainforest. The designer, Paola Delagado was born and raised in Lima, Peru. After graduating from college in Ohio, Paola moved to New York to work as a banker. Needing to fulfill her creative energy, she left New York and traveled to Peru to re-connect with her land and what it had to offer. She discovered natural resources like tagua seeds and began to create fashionable yet Eco-conscious pieces for what we know and love as Mujus.
This Eco-friendly accessories collection is both bold and daring while still remaining true to their original design aesthetic. Since remaining environmentally aware is a critical concept to the designer, the process used to create this eccentric line does no harm to the beautiful rainforest where she gathers her inspirations. Styles range from extraordinary statement necklaces to simple stud earrings, each piece is hand-crafted using re-purposed tagua seeds from the rainforest.In addition, Mujus is committed to giving back to communities in Peru and United States. This translates to creating social change for impoverished communities around Lima and designing a special collection to raise money for the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease.

Pastor Jim Garlow of Skyline Church of Rancho San Diego supports Prop 8; it's the first thing you see on the church's Web site. Same for Calvary Chapel of Downey, Jubilee Christian Center of San Jose, Shadow Mountain Community Church of El Cajon and First Evangelical Free Church of Fullerton.
When the court struck down Prop 22, the judges conferred the highest level of constitutional protection on "sexual orientation," making it equal in status to race, sex, and religion. Even liberal courts that have been friendly to the homosexual political agenda had not gone that far. The imposition of sexual behavior as an enforceable "right" poses a severe danger to religious civil liberties.
Are those pastors who are missing in action conceding that sexual conduct which God condemns is morally equivalent to marriage? What do they think will happen in the public schools? And in the workplace? And are they going to remain silent if the court expands its "ruling" to include polygamy and marriage between close relatives?
Let's talk directly to the pastors: If Prop 8 fails, are you prepared for when you're sued for refusing to perform same-sex "marriages" or refusing to rent church facilities for "gay" functions? Do you think these judges will prefer your religious liberty or their own notions of "equality" and "the compelling state interest" to end "discrimination?" If you don't comply, how long before the state revokes your license to marry? How long before the state takes aim at your tax-exempt status?
Jesus said: "[A]t the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.'"
Not clear enough? How about: "Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge."
God gave us His pro-life-pro-marriage-pro-family plan. Adam and Eve; Noah's Ark: four husbands, four wives, animals two-by-two, male and female. He hasn't authorized any other version.
Hundreds of verses make clear that God-ordained marriage is limited to a man and a woman. That's exactly what Prop 8 will do. And it's not only a religious issue but one with far-reaching effects on all of society, which is why it is a civil issue as well.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom says, "The proposed same-sex marriage ban has to be defeated." California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants Prop 8 defeated, as do Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer.
When Caesar has corrupted marriage, God provides no cover to those refusing to take a public stand for marriage. There will be no place for dismissing it as "political" or claiming "separation of church and state."
Preachers, where do you stand on Prop 8 – with God or Caesar?
John the Baptist lost his head for speaking out against the king's perversion of marriage.
What are you afraid of losing?

Rape crisis center slow to respond; Bartlett teen untested for 36 hours
A Bartlett woman says problems at the rape crisis center meant a delay in conducting a sexual assault test on her 14-year-old daughter after the child said she was raped last weekend.
She said the person on call at the Memphis Sexual Assault and Resource Center on Saturday never arrived at the office on Union Extended to conduct the test on the victim. The mother and daughter were told to return Sunday afternoon -- more than 36 hours after the girl said she was assaulted while spending the night at a friend's house.
The mother worries the delay could affect critical results and potential prosecution.
Because The Commercial Appeal generally does not identify victims of sexual abuse, the mother is not identified in this story to protect her daughter.
According to the mother's version, confirmed by Bartlett police Insp. Jeff Cox, no one responded when she took her daughter -- a special needs child -- to the center Saturday. After waiting three hours, they were told to return Sunday.
Authorities, and even the center's Web site, emphasize that conducting a sexual assault test quickly is important for prosecution. There are warnings for victims not to bathe or change clothing so they do not compromise evidence.
There was no explanation Monday for last weekend's delay. Ken Moody, director of public services and neighborhoods, which oversees the sexual assault center, and Yalanda McFadgon, the deputy director, did not return several calls from a reporter about the case Monday. Late Monday afternoon, questions were referred to Toni Holman-Turner, spokeswoman for Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton. She also did not return calls.
Bartlett authorities said such an instance is highly unusual for the center. Detectives could not remember ever facing such a problem with the Memphis Sexual Assault and Resource Center. Others expressed surprise about the incident, given the center's reputation for handling such matters in a timely and sensitive manner.
"We've never had it happen before," Cox of the investigative services division. "...There's got to be a reason why."
The rape allegations surfaced when the teenage victim spent Friday night at a friend's house in Bartlett. According to the mother, the victim said she was awakened in the pre-dawn hours Saturday by a male member of the house assaulting her.
Bartlett police were investigating the case Monday afternoon, and had made no arrests. They were waiting on results from the sexual assault test taken Sunday. According to police, the 15-year-old girl with whom the victim was spending the night witnessed the assault.
The mother said she talked to Moody, the center's director, and he told her he was sorry it happened, and they would try to avoid it happening again.

"We simply cannot find a way to justify continuing to work on it, or pay its network costs, which are not inconsequential," the post read.
Those expenses may have been particularly encumbering recently when Trim was hit by a denial-of-service attack last week that knocked it offline.
The blog post was tinged with more than a hint of bitterness. Twitter, the service that led to the explosion of URL shorteners as Web users needed to truncate lengthy addresses to fit into a 140-character space, has shown a clear preference for Trim rival Bitly. Twitter uses Bitly as its default URL shortener, and it's even been rumored that Twitter may acquire it altogether.
"Twitter has all but sapped us of any last energy to double down and develop Tr.im further," the post read. "What is the point? With Bit.ly the Twitter default, and with us having no inside connection to Twitter, Tr.im will lose over (in) the long run no matter how good it may or may not be at this moment, or in the future."
What the company hasn't said: what will happen to existing Trim URLs? It's likely that Nambu Networks hasn't yet decided. If Trim is completely closed, that would mean that those shortened URLs would turn into broken links. It'd be possible to close it to new entries but keep existing ones, except that wouldn't solve the financial problem.
One commenter on the Trim blog post suggested that perhaps the service could live on in the form of an open-source project. But for now, its fate remains up in the air.

Bindi Irwin to Star in Hallmark Channel's Original Movie RETURN TO NIM'S ISLAND, 3/15
Emmy(R) award-winning wildlife enthusiast Bindi Irwin ("Nim's Island," "Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove") returns as Nim, a brave young heroine determined to protect her island and all the wildlife that call it home, in RETURN TO NIM'S ISLAND, a Hallmark Channel Original Movie World Premiere Friday, March 15 (8p.m. ET/PT, 7C).
"Return to Nim's Island" kicks off Hallmark Channel's new appointment viewing franchise, "Walmart and P&G present Walden Family Theater," created by Walmart, P&G, award-winning family entertainment producer, Walden Media, and fast-growing independent studio, ARC Entertainment. Starring alongside Irwin are Matthew Lillard ("The Descendants," "Scream"), Toby Wallace ("Neighbours") and Nathan Derrick ("Neighbours") in the sequel to the family action-adventure box office hit, "Nim's Island" and based on the Novel Nim at Sea by Australian Author Wendy Orr.
When Nim (Irwin) and her father Jack (Lillard) discover that resort developers plan to buy Nim's Island, they know they must protect the endangered wildlife that inhabit it. Nim embarks on an adventure that pits her and her animal allies against resort developers and animal poachers. With such strong opposing forces working against her in this adventure, Nim realizes she can't depend on her animal cohorts alone and relies on her first human friend, Edmund (Wallace), to help save her home. Together with Jack's intern, Felix (Derrick), Nim and Edmund work together to try and defeat the developers and save the beloved island and its endangered species.
"Return to Nim's Island" is a Mazur Kaplan Company / Pictures in Paradise Production presented by Arc Entertainment, Walden Media, WalMart and Procter & Gamble. Louis J.

Stanford Cardinal vs. Washington Huskies: Watch Live Stream Online for Free; Preview
Stanford Cardinal Football Team. (Photo: Reuters)
The Stanford Cardinal will attempt to stay undefeated on Thursday night when they face the Washington Huskies at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington. The game is scheduled to take place at 9 p.m. ET and can be seen by most people depending on ESPN. However, if you are not able to watch the game on television, you can watch the live online stream for free by clicking here.
The No. 8 ranked Stanford Cardinal has looked great through their first three games of the 2012 college football season. In week one, they defeated the San Jose State Spartans, 20-17. In week two, they dominated the Duke Blue Devils, 50-13 and in week three they shocked the world by defeating the USC Trojans, 51-14.
Follow Us :
Junior QB Josh Nunes has done a phenomenal job of replacing Andrew Luck. Through just three games he has completed 47 of 88 passes for 615 yards and six touchdowns. Senior running back Stepfan Taylor has also played a huge role in the team's success thus far. He has 338 yards and three touchdowns on 67 carries.
The Washington Huskies are 2-1 through their first three games of the season. They won their season opener over the San Diego State Aztecs, 21-12. Unfortunately, they lost their next game to the No. 2 LSU Tigers, 3-41. However, they will have some confidence heading into their game against Stanford after defeating the Portland State Vikings, 52-13, on Saturday, Sept. 15. The Huskies have a high powered offense, but they have struggled on defense at times this season.
Considering the overall records for both teams, it should not come as much of a surprise to anyone that the Stanford Cardinal will enter this game as seven point favorites to defeat the Washington Huskies on Thursday night.
Regardless of who wins, hopefully we will all get to enjoy a great college football game on Thursday night.

One of the most recurring and persevering aspects of the horror genre is the ability to shape stories about the moral and ethical quandaries of progression into tales of "worst case scenario" terror. From as far back as Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN, the idea of new sciences, discoveries and knowledge turning against those who explore and create has shown up time and time again within the fright field, including THE FLY adaptations, ALTERED STATES and JURASSIC PARK. And while the angles taken on progression within these frightening stories are extreme in theory, the questions still remain at the end of the film and are as philosophically relevant today as they were in their origination.Read more »

KOTA KINABALU: The conservation of the Ulu Segama Malua Forest Reserve inhabited by over 1,000 orang utan, the highest concentration in Malaysia, has become a model in forest conservation by Unesco.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said all logging activities in the area were terminated in 2007 to make way for the setting up of an orang utan sanctuary.
Replying to a question from Datuk Joniston Bangkuai (BN-Kiulu) at the state assembly sitting yesterday, he said the state government would not budge from its decision for the sake of the future of forest reserves and wildlife in Sabah.
This was despite the state government having to forgo revenue in logging royalty and upsetting many loggers, he said.
Musa said the conservation of the Ulu Segama Malua Forest Reserve, covering 240,000ha, was just part of the conservation initiatives carried out by the state government, which was in line with Malaysia's commitment to preserve at least 50% of its forests.
He said one of the conservation efforts carried out by the Sabah government was the Kinabatangan Corridor of Life, involving the conservation of a 150,000ha river riparian area as a wildlife zone for the purpose of restoration.
This conservation effort is supported by funds from the private sector such as Nestle.
The other conservation areas noted are the Lower Kinabatangan and Segama Wetlands, the biggest Ramsar site in Malaysia with 79,000ha, Trusmadi Conservation Area (74,736ha), Danum Valley Conservation Area (43,800ha), Maliau Basin Conservation Area (105,443ha) and Imbak Kanyon Conservation Area (30,000ha).
"With the gazetting of the Gunung Rara Forest Reserve as a protected area, the passage or connectivity for Maliau, Imbak, Malua-Ulu Segama and Danum has been created into a block of totally protected area covering more than 500,000ha, the biggest in Malaysia," he said.
Musa said the Sabah government was also determined to increase the totally protected areas from 1.35 million hectares (including state parks and wildlife sanctuaries) to 2.1 million hectares or 30% within the next 10 years.
The state government, he said, through the Forestry Department, was also identifying areas to be gazetted or reclassified as Class 1 Forest Reserve (protected) and to increase the Class 1 Forest Reserve areas to one million hectares this year.
To a supplementary question from Datuk Wilfred Bumburing (PKR-Tamparuli), Musa said the annual revenue from logging royalty had dropped from RM1bil to RM100mil. — Bernama

Injured Bayless out; McGee added
Updated: July 22, 2009, 6:11 PM ETAssociated Press
LAS VEGAS -- USA Basketball has added Washington Wizards forward/center JaVale McGee to its minicamp roster.
The Americans also announced Wednesday that Portland guard Jerryd Bayless withdrew because he injured his left wrist during the NBA's summer league.
McGee earned an invite after averaging 17.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and a league-best 4.0 blocks during four summer league games.
The players will practice Thursday and Friday before playing an intrasquad exhibition game Saturday ...

Anyone know if there has been an API release in the last 24 hours? I don't think that's my problem but thought I'd ask just in case. If I specifically request V=3.9 site works fine, with 3.10 or 3.11 I get an error.
Code has worked very well using 3.10 since it's release and suddenly I'm seeing an error:

The big books will find a loophole in this. Most feel that depositing my certified check will be ok and withdrawing by checks will be fine but still it's a bit of a hassle. According to some reports alot of the sportsbooks are trying to get there governments to go to the WTO on this law but the US has ignored the WTO in these situations in the past. It's the fucking religious right who has alot of the voting power causing this whole mess. The Republicans are desperate after there numbers have dropped off and they feel by appeasing the religous right they can in turn get there senators and congressman voted in this November.
I'm a member of a US based fixed forum and I know the admins on the site are extremely concerned to the fact that you alluded to - most of the revenue from the site actually comes in the form of sponsorship from other sportsbooks, even moreso than client money
Interesting times ahead....

Case:...........$35 (shipping $??)[Newegg] I think the cheapo included power supply might be having some issues keeping voltage stable.
Ram:............$50 2x256MB Samsung @ 400mhz [ebay]
Artic Silver 5 on VGA and CPU, just applied VGA 5 hours ago, CPU applied 24 hours ago.
~$412 plus XP pro and my hard drive. Not too bad.
I have a 2x512 AMPO coming from ebay for $70 which I hope will bump up the scores, or at least keep the minimum framerate up. I really am enjoying just maxing all the settings in all my games
I think I may be at the max that the motherboard can do, I did the bus in 4 jumps 220mhz, 230mhz, 240mhz and 250mhz. The ram came back at 3000/15 = 200mhz (DDR400). I think for stability purposes I will need a different PSU and probably a better heatsink, but it idles at 93-97F right now!!
Edit: I just realized I have passive northbridge cooling, the CPU wasn't seeing over 120F and the GPU wasn't even to 50C, so I am going to put a 120mm fan on the fairly large NB HS and see how stable it is. Still plan to buy a PCPower and Cooling PSU, nothing over 350W unless there is a good deal.
I will be doing a volt-mod on the 7900GS sometime, I hope to go over 600mhz with a 1.4 volt mod, 650 or more would be nice. I might do a ram volt-mod too, I would like to see the ram at 1,650mhz on the card.
I just broke 94,000 on Aquamark3. ahem, DAMN!!

It could have been a case of "Up on the rooftop, slip, slip, slip" that caused a concerned Germantown resident to call police when what looked to be a person was hanging from a second-story gutter.
Not to worry. The person was actually a humorous holiday decoration.
According to the Germantown police:
A resident called police to report a subject hanging from a second-story gutter and was not moving in the W164 N11000 block of Kings Way at 3:50 p.m. Dec. 13.
Officers responded to the address and determined the subject in question was a holiday decoration.
An officer advised the homeowner of the complaint and the homeowner stated he will consider taking the decoration down.
The "guy hanging from a roof" holiday decoration has been around since at least 2009, as you can see here on Reddit.

text: I know this may not be of much help but years ago I used Bronica S2' s exclusively in a professional studio. We had several because they had Nikkor lenses and were cheaper than Hasselblads but they were always breaking down. I couldn't remember a time when at least one of them wasn't at the repair shop due to mostly transport problems or jamming. After a year or so of dealing with the S2's, we went to Mamiya TLR's (less problems) and then Hasselblad.

Old Fashioned, Traditional, Fun to be with, and Drama Free
Please read entirely. I put CAPS for key words but that doesn't seem to work...lol If YOU have friends that are FEMALE (other than your guy friends wives/girlfriends) no need to waste my time. Proceed with caution because there are none like ME: First I must say, if you're not honest or serious about dating SKIP this profile, also if you have FRIENDS that are of the OPPOSITE sex, SKIP me because it is not going to work (guys gals cannot be just friends) as there is some kind of attraction or was some kind of attraction there (RESPECT issue not a trust issue, i respect all ) otherwise enjoy reading my profile :-) I'm not one for meeting then communication stops without explanation, I feel that personality is key, and if we get along chatting, chemistry will develop over time if not instantly. I keep it honest and work toward something special...not here for lame games and to be a backup plan..wrong site for that fellas! I like doing things the old fashioned way, when together it's about us not others around us, you are meeting me and getting to know me remember lol. Cute gestures and chivalry go along way :) My closest friends would describe me as, being honest, funny, and fun to be with. I am grateful for having a loving, and understanding family, and just able to wake up each day, is a blessing. What I am looking for in a relationship is, honesty, someone to be faithful , and who can communicate and laugh with each other. I am an old fashioned lady who holds on to her Roman Catholic beliefs. My strongest views are: SAVING myself for MARRIAGE (Yes that means I am a VIRGIN) and treating others as I want to be treated. If waiting is a problem, then I'm not your lady because this is a promise I kept for years and not changing til my wedding night (Yes that means I will stay a until after the wedding ceremony :-) I think of the feelings and outcomes of everyone involved when making decisions and always put my partner's feelings and concerns first. I don't believe that guys and girls can be friends i can debate this all day long lol one of them has/had/gets feelings for the other as i trust my man, i dont trust girls. I am a strong believer that relationships were more successful in the old days because guys had a night out with the fellas and the gals had a night out with the ladies. I believe that it is not fair to my partner for me to hang out with other guys as he should be the only guy in my life, I therefor practice what I preach as my friends are all female. I am a debater (it is part of my continued law career) so I will always engage in a friendly heated debate. I am open to all views and don't judge one based on them but I will discuss the differences and just get open communication going on behalf of the both of us. This however, is my profile and this is what I'm looking for...just being honest. I am currently studying for my LSAT exam and looking into law school.

Thanks to day to day work and some real life complications, I've not had time to properly write up much of the D3 information I gathered at Blizzcon. As a result, aside from my Barbarian gameplay report, MedievalDragon's Gameplay Impressions, and our coverage of the Barbarian and Wizard skills, we've not posted the exhaustive game reports this site has long been known for. That's about to change.
I'll be posting an articles each day this week, articles that will feature in depth discussion of various elements of the Blizzcon demo. Besides the demo info, I'll be incorporating what we learned from panels, Q&A sessions, and personal communication with the D3 Team. Today's the first and least of these reports, and it sets the scene with basic information about the Blizzcon demo, dungeon levels, gore and horror elements, and NPCs found in the demo. If that doesn't sound like much, click through and be surprised at much much there is to cover on those aspects of things. Later this week I'll get to Witch Doctor and Wizard gameplay overviews, and also address topics such as quests, combat, items, skill runes, active and passive skill design, the game interface and controls, critical hits, basic game strategy and pace, and much, much more.
Click through to enjoy…
Basic Blizzcon Game Information
The build at Blizzcon was set up to emphasize combat and leaping right into the action gameplay, rather than exploring a town or building a character. New characters started out at level 6, with all of their skill points already distributed across the three skill trees. Each character type had a couple of active skills set to their hotkeys, and various passive skills enabled to improve their performance. None of the characters were built wisely for the real game, where players will (apparently) want to specialize in just one skill tree, and will be spending all their early points in just a few important skills
Other factors emphasized the speed and action design of the demo. There were no NPC merchants at all. No one selling or buying items, potions, or anything else. The only potions to be found were health pots, which dropped very infrequently (I found 4 or 5 per character from clearing out the entire demo dungeon.), and even rarer were elixirs of strength and dexterity that boosted one attribute for 300 seconds. There was no NPC to provide item identification, but ID scrolls dropped quite frequently. There were no town portal scrolls at all though, and the only town portal seen in the demo was cast by an NPC. Players could not pass through it.
The demo was not greatly nerfed, but the characters were boosted. I was told that this was the starting area of the game, just as the D3 team has been playing it, but of course their characters start off at level 1, not level 6. So of course the demo was fairly easy; the D3 team wanted new players and media and others to have fun and kill, without it being so easy that god mode boredom set in. But they didn't achieve that by nerfing everything; they just gave players a considerable head start. I found the Barbarian and Witch Doctor fairly easy all through the demo, but the Wizard was a struggle on the lower levels of the dungeon. Active skills were capped at level 1 in the Blizzcon build, and with a variety of those, and her not-very-powerful low level passives, the Wizard was quite fragile. Well, she was probably about as durable as the Witch Doctor, but the WD had Mongrels to tank, which made a huge difference.
Dungeon Levels
The dungeon levels in the demo were quite small, compared to how large the dungeons are in the full game. Leonard Boyarsky told me that the dungeons in the Blizzcon build were 6-8 rooms, while the full ones are 12-15, or larger. The definition of "rooms" in this context is hard to express to people who haven't played yet, but it's not just one literal room; it means a square, a block of the randomly generated levels. A "room" as Blizzard uses the term during D3's development is about as much as you'd see on oh, 8 or 10 screens. (Rough estimate by me.) Within those "rooms" you'll find numerous individual chambers, stairways up and down, special event elements, traps, destructibles, etc.
I was also told by Leonard that players were getting through far more of the dungeons than the team expected. Players were given about 15 minutes per play session on the main floor, and the D3 Team didn't think that would be enough to finish the demo. Leonard said they'd been playing it for a couple of weeks, and it usually took them 20-30 minutes to clear out. His explanation was that Blizzard employees were clearing out everything to build up their characters and find loot, while players were more interested in seeing as much as they could see, and they (we) were just running through things, skipping NPC conversations, not bothering to pick up items, etc, in order to find the stairs and move deeper into the dungeons and reach the Skeleton King.
Leonard also told me that there were two random quest events in the demo, and that they varied from game to game, just like such elements will in the real game. And he confirmed what I'd figured by playing it myself. The layout of Tristram was fixed and non-random, though the monsters found in it and some of the elements like clickable corpses could vary. The top two levels of the dungeon were fully random, including the quest events found in them, but the third level was a set design, with several events on the way to reaching the throne room, where you awakened and then battled the Skeleton King and his minions.
Blood, Guts, and an M-Rating
One of my questions going into Blizzcon was about Diablo III's tone and mood, and how much gruesome background art and blood would be present. Most players feel that Diablo I was much more of a horror game than Diablo II. Everyone who played the first title has a very clear memory of how scared they were when they first heard the Butcher give his "Ahh, Fresh Meat!" battle cry, and the dungeons, especially the Hell levels, were well-decorated by bloody, naked, dismembered bodies on stakes. Diablo II had plenty of blood and gore and horror elements too, (check out the tortured corpses and moats of blood in the Act 2 Sewers and Durance of Hate on your next Mephisto run, and there are some nice gory wall decorations in Nihlathak's dungeon as well), but it didn't have the same sort of creepy, ominous, horror tone that D1 had.
The D3 team has often said that they were going to recreate the mood and theme of D1 more than D2, and that they wanted to make D3 more of a horror game. I was dubious of this claim going into Blizzcon, but was pleasantly surprised by how horror-filled D3 is. The tone was set with gore and corpses in the very first scene. New players started off in a tiny encampment with just two NPCs. One of them was a talkative soldier, but the other was a silent meat wagon driver who spent his time endlessly shuffling between a wagon stacked high with bodies, from which he kept pulling corpses that he carried over and dumped onto a burning pyre. The animation was great, and the bodies were very well drawn as well. They looked like corpses, bloody and murdered ones.
The mood continued as soon as a player moved out into the ruins of Tristram. The scenery was dark and oppressive, and no, the screenshots don't at all do it justice. The floating, partially transparent mist looks so much better in the game than in the screenshots, where it just makes things look smudged and blurry. The black, gnarled trees, clusters of crows that flew away when the player got close enough to trigger them, dozens of ruined, blasted houses you could run through, bodies lying here and there, and small bunches of zombies to rout gave the area a great, creepy, doomed mood.
Playing in the Blizzcon press room with crowds of journalists around, bright lights overhead, the only game sound through tinny headphones, and my attention mostly on gathering information, rather than enjoying myself, I didn't feel any tension or atmosphere. I still enjoyed the visuals and theme, and found myself wishing I could play it at home, in a dark room with some candles burning, and the sound up high. It would be shivery. It will be shivery. I just hope Blizzard doesn't have to tone down the gore and gruesome visuals too much, for the ratings boards.
There were a number of nice set pieces elsewhere in Tristram that added to the mood. A human hand is seen at one point, clawing at the earth, before being yanked down into a dark cellar from which come horrible screams and a fountain of blood. Ghosts wander the streets, sobbing quietly and pathetically. Zombies are seen gnawing on corpses, and their moans and groans are very horror movie appropriate. The gruesome mood isn't continued into the dungeon, but the design and graphics of the dungeon areas were very effective. They weren't trying to be scary, but the monsters are so well animated and formed that they are threatening and very real. You want to destroy them, and even though the zombies you find early on are basically just walking experience pots, they're loathsome and a little bit scary. I was again reminded of Diablo I, where even the weakest starting monsters were somewhat threatening, emotionally, if not from a survival standpoint.
The death animations of the monsters are well done, and they're very visceral and bloody. Normal deaths are quite messy, with body parts breaking off in gratuitous fashion and blood spilling, but the real fun comes from critical hit deaths. When monsters die from critical hit damage, (which happens quite often), they get an extra special death animation. They literally explode, in appropriate fashion for the type of damage that did them in. You'll see frost on the shattered pieces, or lightning flickering along with an extra nova blast, or flames charring the chunks of meat, or gouts of blood from the corpse explosion like critical hits with physical damage. I was frequently impressed with how much blood spilled onto the floor during battles, and the ensanguinated stone and scattered arms, legs, heads, chunks of rib cage, and various internal organs left lying around after a big fight was just awesome. (In the game I mean. Not real life. Do not want FBI visit!)
On the whole I was quite pleasantly surprised by the gruesome nature of D3. Much more than I'd expected, and more reminiscent of the mood of D1 than D2.
The Blizzcon demo had very little NPC interaction, and was not like any of the towns in Diablo or Diablo II. There were no NPC merchants at all, so players had no way to buy or sell equipment, purchase potions, or make repairs. These aren't complaints since such actions weren't required in the Blizzcon version of the game. They're just useful for fans to know, to put the information into context.
Captain Rumford
There were several NPCs in the demo, though none were merchants. The most visible and interesting was Captain Rumford who functioned as the town greeter. The D3 Team has promised that the characters in Diablo 3 will be full of personality, and that the NPCs will react very differently to each of them, as part of their unique stories. This was demonstrated very nicely by Captain Rumford's dialogue, which varied quite a bit between the three classes. (We couldn't get enough game time to play both genders for all of the characters, so can't comment on how much the dialogue varies from the male to female. It was fairly similar for the M/F Barbarian, at least.)
Rumford's dialogues differed quite a bit, but in all of them he imparted the essential game-starting plot info. A flaming object had recently fallen from the sky and crashed through the roof of the Tristram Cathedral. Great evil had awakened since then, and the area was now overrun with monsters. All of the characters knew this much, and said they'd come after hearing news of the fire from the sky.
One thing I wanted to find out was if Rumford said anything different to players who returned to town after completing a quest. There were no town portals in the Blizzcon demo, and since dead characters respawned at the last checkpoint reached in the dungeon, the only way to go back to town was to run all the way up through the dungeon, and then through ruined Tristram. That wasn't the best expenditure of our limited play time, and in any event, the Blizzcon demo ended when the Skeleton King was defeated, so there was no time to see if Rumford had any witty remarks to share upon that event.
Mr. Meat Wagon
Besides Rumford, there was a meat wagon driver in the town area. He had no important dialogue, but did a nice job setting the mood as he shuffled between the wagon and a blazing fire pit, carrying bleeding corpses from the wagon and throwing them onto the pyre. The bodies he produced came from behind the wagon, out of sight of the player, and when he threw them down on the other bodies on the fire they landed in the rear, again our of sight. So no, you don't actually see the pile of corpses in the wagon decrease, nor the pile on the fire grow. But it's a nice piece of animation and the background art is great. The screenshots don't do it justice, since you don't get the visuals of the floating mist over all of Tristram, the crackling fire, the flames flickering up around the bodies, the thudding sounds of the corpses as they're dropped, etc
Cellar Grinder
Moving into the ruined Tristram, there was a nice piece of scripted visual. A human arm is seen reaching up from an open cellar, and as the player watches the hand clutches at the ground as panicked screams burst forth. The hand is then yanked down into the cellar while ferocious, bestial sound effects play, and a fountain of blood squirts out of the cellar, splatting down on the dark earth. The cellar isn't clickable; you can't go down and fight whatever claimed the human, but it's a great little visual.
Another NPC (sort of) found in the town is a wandering female ghost. Her graphics are very impressive in the game, with great transparency and subtle colors. She can't be clicked on or interacted with, and just wanders along, moaning and wailing about how "She's lost down there. She'll never find her way without the doll." This section shows off one of the nice sound/dialogue techniques in D3, since you can see the ghost from a distance, but you can't hear her words unless/until you are standing very near her. This ghost's daughter is seen later on in the demo, when the quest is finished. More on that in the quests section.
Injured Villager
There was also an injured villager found near the entrance to the Tristram Cathedral. He essentially recreated the opening quest from Diablo I, telling of a powerful monster within who must be destroyed. The Skeleton King, this time, when it was the Butcher in D1. (The Skeleton King was a later quest in that game.)
The scene is more fun in D3, since when you find the man he's being gnawed on by three zombies, who are squatting around his almost-corpse and enjoying the tender parts. Once you destroy the zombies the man is clickable, and when given the chance he gasps out his last words, warning of the power of the awakened Skeleton King. Your character says a few words about avenging his death, and here again the dialogues differ between the classes. Not that much though, since it's just a short "You will be avenged." type remark.
Chatting Monsters
An interesting sort of quest that presented story info was found shortly after entering the dungeon. When walking along one level, two human monster could be seen down below. One who looks like some type of Dark Cultist is seen standing and waiting, while the other, who is basically an Igor-type minion, runs up. Igor is excited, shouting about having at last found some sort of magical item. The Cultist gloats, and says something about how they can use this to finally awake him, or call him back from his sleep.
The conversation hints at the awakening of the Skeleton King, and you can read more about this in the section on quests. The dialogue is entirely optional to listen to, and it can only be heard while your character is within about half a screen of the two monsters/NPCs. You can hang around on the passageway above them and listen, or run off and kill monsters. It's up to you. There's no way down to their passageway at that point, and it's fairly clear, even to a brand new player that there's information being presented here, that you may or may not choose to listen to. You encounter these monsters again, later in the demo.
Lost NPC Fighters
Another quest in the Blizzcon demo was a sort of escort quest. While working through the dungeon, the player comes upon a swarm of monsters working over a fallen human. After engaging and destroying the zombies and skeletons, the human gets up and announces that he's a commanding solder (didn't get his name) who was cut off from his men. He asks your help in rejoining them, and follows you as you run away. Not too far away you find half a dozen of his men fighting off a large mob of monsters. You and the commander join the battle and his men shout a welcome and give cries of encouragement as the battle rages. The NPC warriors look like the ones we've seen in other screenshots, like this one.
Once the monsters are cleared out the commander thanks you for your help, and then he and his men vanish through a town portal that you can not pass through yourself. It's a bit insulting; "Thanks for saving us, but we're going to leave you here to die while we head back to town, ale, and whores now. Kthxbye!"

April Revenue Report Complicates Kansas Budget
Associated Press - April 30, 2014 7:07 pm
A monthly survey of bankers suggests the economy will remain weak in rural parts of 10 Midwestern and Western states because of low grain and oil prices.
Kansas House and Senate budget negotiators have begun working on a spending agreement, casting aside a bleak revenue report that could undermine a rosier economic forecast leaders are using to justify higher spending.
The talks began Wednesday evening, a few hours after the state Revenue Department reported that April's tax collections totaled $92 million less than expected. Officials blamed changes in the federal tax code on capital gains and other income.
Two weeks ago, analysts raised their forecast for Kansas revenue over the next 18 months by $177 million.
Negotiators are considering spending increases for the remainder of the current fiscal year and the fiscal year that starts July 1, including $5 million more for health care services for disabled residents.

By Doug GormanThe Southern Crescent will be well represented this week when the second round of Georgia High School Association begins in both boys and girls action. Starting tonight, the Jonesboro Lady Cardinals will be at home against St. Pius, while Eagle's Landing takes to the road for a game against perennial soccer power McIntosh. Both games begin at 6 p.m. McIntosh comes into the game with a 20-0-1 record and a No.1 state ranking. Eagle's Landing is 14-1-1 and ranked No.-9. Both McIntosh and Eagle's Landing enter Tuesday's game fresh off shutouts in their first-round games. McIntosh showed why they are the top-ranked team in the state, beating Effingham County 15-0. Eagle's Landing also had its way with Thomas County Central in the first-round, posting a In its first-round game, Jonesboro had to work a little harder to come up with the win, but managed to beat Lakeview Ft Oglethorpe 2-1. The Lady Cardinals scored the first two goals of the game, then had to hold off the Lady Warriors' second-half rally. Three boys teams are still alive in the state soccer playoffs. Jonesboro plays host to Etowah, Morrow plays host to Lowndes and Eagle's Landing hits the road for a game against Evans. The Cardinals set up their second round game with a 3-1 victory against Woodland, in a game that was extremely physical at both end of the field. With Woodland trying to stage a rally, Jonesboro's Kevin Saxby gave the Cardinals some breathing room with a late-second-half goal. Patrick Saxby and Santiago Figueroa also scored. It its first-round win, Morrow beat county rival Lovejoy 2-0. The victory sets up a match at Twelve Oaks Stadium Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. Lowndes rolled to a 9-0 win against Jenkins in its the first round. Morrow's victory against Lovejoy was just the second time in school history the Mustangs posted a first-round win in the state soccer tournament.
