"I've lost at things before. I pick myself up and I keep going because that's what we as soldiers [do] -- and I'm an old soldier... We don't dwell on our losses, but we keep fighting to get a victory," Sterner said today.
In July the White House announced its own strategy to hit back against military imposters: a website that tracks the names of actual medal winners from across the services.
"It may no longer be a crime for con artists to pass themselves off as heroes, but one thing is certain -- it is contemptible," the President Obama said in an announcement after the Supreme Court decision. "So this week, we will launch a new website, a living memorial, so the American people can see who's been awarded our nation's highest honors. Because no American hero should ever have their valor stolen."

Regardless of whether the new bill is eventually signed into law, Shipley said he and others like him won't stop going after those he says dishonor his brothers in arms.
"It really doesn't matter in the long run," he said. "We'll come back at them again and again."

Take the depth of Dwarf Fortress, add a bunch of lazy mages and update the interface to modern standards? That's Mage Tower in a nutshell. We're building something really ambitious - a world that you can build to your own whim, while carefully balancing resources, knowledge, and external threats.

To those who know me personally, much of the following information is review. For those who don't, hopefully this will explain quite a bit.
Hello - I'm Daniel Frandsen, the President / Founder / Lead Programmer for Red Button Games. Usually when I speak as the company, I use generic pronouns like "we," but since this post is more personal I'll be talking as myself.
The Past
Mage Tower has had a sporatic update cycle. I apologize upfront about not communicating what was going on, especially when it's part of my responsibility to keep company followers up-to-date. When Mage Tower began development (May 2012), I jumped in as a full-time developer. I planned on slowly ramping up other involvement through a part-time developer and artist, making a monthly update cycle reasonable. Since then, the other involved parties dropped off (through no one's fault), and I was contacted with a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity (August 2012). The interview process took a while, but I ended up accepting an offer (November 2012) shortly before launching Mage Tower on Desura (December 2012) and another update (January 2012).
Throughout the next 7 months, I moved across the country, sold my house, started a new job, and got married. My update schedule for Mage Tower dropped from then full-time to now just a sliver of the time I wanted to commit to it. Communication dissipated, and I became somewhat nervous to check Desura to see what new dissenting comment I would see. Finally, a new update released (August 2013), and I was happy to see people still interested and to see people who seemed to understand (on some level) what I might be going through.
Now that things are more settled, I have a bit more time to work on updates. However, I'm not going to depend on my time for the release schedule as much as I can help it. To help with that, I'll be working on making updates even smaller, making them more feasible to be on a regular schedule. Second, I'm hoping to bring on more people who would be interested in the project. I'm a bit...picky about who I work with, but it's become clear that giving more of my own time wouldn't make a reliable schedule.
I hope that helps explain my perspective and why things might be moving slower than you'd like. Trust me, I want to play the "full" game of Mage Tower just as much as you - it's just going to take a bit of time. :)

IS there enemy in this game?
The game is still in Alpha, so the game is more of a sandbox at this point. As development of the game moves forward, there will be multiple groups to interact with, such as orcs, villagers, dragons, etc. However, you'll be able to determine how you interact with them. You could ally with the villagers to push back the hoards...or do the opposite, and pillage and plunder.
this post you just said, made me buy this, :)
Sounds awesome!
Looks cool! Tracking
Tracking!! if DF is the most enjoying game in the world, in 3d would be awesome
Hmm I love DF, and I love the look of this game. Mega tracking :)
Well, 3D DF is the game everyone wants... I'm really excited about this project - Good Luck!
Lowest Rated (4 agree) 1/10
This is currently the shell of a game (even for Desura). At the moment, it is only a construction sim, and a buggy one at that. Additionally, updates are slow to appear (1-2 month interval).
Gnomoria is much more polished and selling for less. Additionally, the pace of updates is much quicker (new patch every Tuesday; rarely skips a week, but delivers a larger patch the next week if he does). If you're looking to invest in a DF style management game, Gnomoria's return is much higher at this time.

Wayne Rooney's season could be over following the knee injury the Manchester United captain sustained against Everton on Sunday afternoon.
According to the Daily Mirror, United are worried that Rooney, who limped off in the final stages of United's 3-0 defeat at Goodison Park after colliding with Daley Blind, could miss the remaining four league games with what appears to be a rather serious injury problem.
A year ago yesterday, Manchester United lost 2-0 at Goodison Park, as goals form Kevin Mirallas and Leighton Baines propelled Everton towards a Europa League spot, while United's travelling support watched on aghast.
David Moyes' wretched spell at Unitedhad been brought to an end on the same turf wherethe Scotsman had forged his reputation, one which had convinced his predecessor that he would be the right man for the job.
By Chris Wright
Having first visited Goodison parkseemingly of out the blue in 2007 as the guest of a business associate, Everton's least likely celebrity fan, Mr Sylvester Stallone, is to grace the stadium once again tonight alongside one of his latest co-stars, Liverpudlian boxer (and Toffees fan) Tony Belew.
Adrian was savoring his "best moment" since joining West Ham after the goalkeeper scored the winning penalty in the Hammers' FA Cup third-round replay win over Everton.
Tuesday night's contest went the distance after the two sides could not be separated in the initial tie at Goodison Park seven days previous.
Is Roberto Martinez falling back into old habits? - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
With Everton staying in the FA Cup on Tuesday night with an 11th hour escape, Roberto Martinez was spared growing pressure on his job at Goodison Park. Domestically, the Toffees have lost the last four outings, with their last win coming at home versus basement dwellers Queens Park Rangers.
Gripped by the elation of a late Romelu Lukaku goal, the humdrum of Everton supporters slinking out of Goodison Park at the end of their third round FA Cup tieheralded a significant moment.
It'd be naive to brand it as a turning point and it certainly won't be a recipe for quick fix, but the Belgian's acrobatic finish capped off a display that could be a vital catalyst for the Toffees' recuperation process.
The final match of the Premier League weekend kicks off tonight at a chilly Goodison Park where Everton take on Queens Park Rangers.
After Burnley beat Southampton 1-0 on Saturday, The Clarets leapfrogged over the R's, pushing QPR back into the bottom three of the Premier League. But a win or draw tonight for Harry Redknapp's side will push them above Burnley in the race to avoid relegation.
The historic Goodison Park has been home to the blue half of Merseyside since 1892 with the ground having hosted more top-flight English football matches than any other, however Everton Football Club yesterday officially outlined plans which will see the club move away from their historic home to a new ground based on the Walton Hall Park site.

Thanks to some heroics from striker Edin Dzeko, Manchester City are two wins away from an English Premier League title.
Manuel Pellegrini's Manchester City team defeated fifth-place Everton, who were eliminated from Champions League contention, on Saturday by a scoreline of 3-2 at Goodison Park.
A grim reaper haunted David Moyes from the stands directly beside the dugout as the Scot returned to Goodison Park to watch his old side Everton host Manchester United on Sunday. A day later, a leak from Old Trafford spread across all media outlets suggesting that Moyes had lost his job. Two days later, Manchester United FC officially confirmed the news.
For the last 16 seasons, Arsene Wenger has managed Arsenal to a top-four, Champions League-qualifying spot in the English Premier League table.
After Sunday's trip to Goodison Park, the Gunners are going to need some outside help if they are to make it 17 straight.
Although Chelsea failed to advance in the FA Cup last weekend, the Blues still hold a narrow lead in the race for the English Premier League title.
But in order to keep that advantage intact through the weekend, Jose Mourinho's men will have to avoid disappointment at Stamford Bridge against a team that beat them earlier in the season.
Everton have completed the signing of Republic of Ireland winger Aiden McGeady from Spartak Moscow for an undisclosed fee.
The player was paraded at Goodison Park before Everton's match today against Norwich City.
Manager Roberto Martinez tried to sign McGeady when he was in charge at Wigan Athletic, but was unable to get the former Celtic footballer.
Saturday, November 23, 2013 Everton vs Liverpool Goodison Park Kick-off: 12.45 GMT
The reds travel to Goodison Park this weekend to face Everton in an exciting Premier League clash with both sides having fantastic starts to the season. Everton are undefeated in their last 14 home matches in the Premier League, with a clean sheet in their last 3 matches in the Premier League.
Manchester United are set to addthe Premier League's head of elite performance John Murtough to David Moyes' staff at Old Trafford, with Murtough set to be reunited with the former Everton manager, under whom he worked at Goodison Park.
Murtough was in charge of the academy at Everton during David Moyes' tenure on Merseyside, a position he held in two separate spells at Goodison Park.
There's been a fair bit of criticism for Tottenham following their 0-0 draw with Everton. Second place was there for the taking for either side, but the two teams canceled each other out and a draw was ultimately a fair result.
Focusing solely on the North London outfit, there seems to be a general consensus that a draw was an opportunity missed.
It's still there. That Everton spirit. The coveted togetherness that many predicted would cease the second David Moyes walked out of Goodison Park. In fact, it's been more prominent than ever in the past seven days. It's helped Everton to their first two victories of the campaign and of Roberto Martinez's tenure as manager; they remain unbeaten in the opening five games.
Chelsea lost their first match of the season yesterday, as Everton proved to be too much for the London side at Goodison Park. Though the Blues certainly had their chances, they were unable to convert any of them and paid the price when Everton scored just at the end of the first half.
"We made a mistake in the last minute of the first half where we lost the ball in a strange situation and we conceded a goal.
Everton Football Club are exploring options to build a new ground near Goodison Park in Liverpool.
"We have identified a site close to Goodison and we have a [Liverpool] council at the moment who are extremely positive in their desire to help us," said Everton chairman Bill Kenwright. "If we take forward what we're looking at now, I think you would be happier than sharing with the Reds.
Roberto Martinez has been appointed as manager of Everton Football Club on a four-year deal to replace David Moyes at Goodison Park.
"Everton Football Club is today delighted to confirm the appointment of Roberto Martinez as its next manager," said a statement by Everton FC. "The 39-year-old Spaniard joins from Wigan Athletic and has signed a four-year contract at Goodison Park.
David Moyes has taken the toughest job in world football replacing the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford. The former Everton boss inherits a Premier League winning squad full of talent and a transfer kitty that he has never been used to at Goodison Park. With the aim for next season sure to be retaining the Premier League title, and putting a challenge in for the Champions League, smart moves in the transfer market are needed this summer.
As an Everton supporter, it's a peculiar feeling knowing that the next time David Moyes sets foot in Goodison Park, he will make his way to the opposition dugout.
Even then, despite the fact he will sporting a red tie, Moyes will be welcomed back to Goodison Park. For his reign will certainly be looked back upon fondly.

Phil Neville and Everton will part ways this summer for what has been a mutually rewarding experience since 2005/06 for both club and player. The former Manchester United man recently announced he would be moving on from Goodison Park this summer in hopes of continuing to feature in first team football.

Grey clouds of uncertainty now surround Goodison Park, and they come as no surprise after the disappointment in Everton's loss to Wigan Athletic last weekend.
For the team to overcome such frustration, some questions require further explanation.
Scott writes for Bleacher Report about the key battles at Goodison Park.
Scott writes for The Metro about Gundogan's contract extension.
The Telegraph reckons Moyes won't get a good reception on Sunday.
Pride of all Europe looks at the young players that can join the first team next season.

Irish trains on time?
We are planning on taking the train from Sligo to Dublin in order to catch a flight the same day. The schedule seems perfect. But I've seen comments on some websites that Irish trains are frequently late, but it's not clear how late. Is the train a reliable way to get to Dublin if we absolutely have to make a flight? Thanks.

Atlanta Falcons 2014 Rookie Scouting Report: Dezmen Southward
May 16th, 2014
Aaron Freeman
Brace Hemmelgarn-US PRESSWIRE
Dezmen Southward
A breakdown of the Atlanta Falcons' third-round pick, Wisconsin safety Dezmen Southward.
Height: 6′
Weight: 211
College: Wisconsin
40 Time: 4.40 (Campus)
Three-Cone: 6.50 (Campus)
He was born on October 1, 1990 and attended St. Thomas Aquinas in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Played only one year of high school football as a senior, but his team was named National Champs that year. Same defensive backfield produced fellow 2014 draft prospects, Lamarcus Joyner and Marcus Roberson, both of whom were juniors on that team. He spent first three years playing basketball and track and field. His stepfather, Eli Rasheed, is a former defensive lineman at Indiana University and is currently a defensive line coach at Toledo University.
He redshirted during his freshman year at Wisconsin and played in 13 games as a reserve as a sophomore, recording eight tackles. Earned three starts as a sophomore at strong safety in 14 appearances, tallying 35 tackles, two pass breakups and a pair of forced fumbles. Earned starting spot at free safety as a junior, starting a total of 14 games. He had 69 tackles, eight tackles for loss, one interception, four pass breakups and a forced fumble. Started 13 games as a senior with 40 tackles, 3.5 for loss, one interception, 5 breakups, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Finished his career with a school-record 54 games played and also started 28 consecutive games, indicative of his durability. Earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors both as a junior and senior.
Competed in spring of 2013 at Wisconsin in 100 meters and 4×100 relay due to injuries to other sprints.
Noted for intelligence, scoring a 31 on his Wonderlic where the average for a safety is 19. Was medically excluded from Combine due to wrist and spine injuries, although he was later cleared and fully participated at his pro day. Measured a 42-inch vertical at the pro day, indicative of his basketball background.

UC – indicates an uncatchable pass.
The grading system is based on a 10-point scale: 1-pathetic, 2-poor, 3-weak, 4-below average, 5-average, 6-above average, 7-good, 8-very good, 9-excellent, 10-elite.
Speed (9.0) - Has excellent speed, timing well at Wisconsin's pro day and also being clocked at 10.97 seconds in 100 meters during the spring of 2013. Plays to that speed and has the ability to run very well in a straight line. Shows good burst upfield to defend the run out on the edge and can run with receivers on vertical routes.
Tackling (5.5) – Does a good job consistently wrapping up and seeing what he hits, breaking down nicely at the point of attack or in the open field. But struggles when taking on bigger collegiate backs, and will subsequently do so at the next level where backs are not only big but also cat-quick. Will miss some tackles because he doesn't always take great angles. Smaller frame leads him to be a drag-down tackler. Doesn't deliver many big hits although a player with his sort of speed and burst could potentially lay out some guys. Has room for growth and could stand to put on another 10 or more pounds of muscle.
Man Coverage (5.0) - Is experienced lining up in the slot and covering wide receivers, but lacks the sort of polish and technique to be good. Struggles out of breaks because of his unpolished footwork and technique. Tends to chase receivers as opposed to actually covering them and gives up far too much cushion.
Zone Coverage (5.5) - Most comfortable playing in zone where he can use his speed and range to cover ground. At his best when he can keep things in front of him. But lack of ideal ball skills also limits his effectiveness, as he doesn't make very many plays when working in zone. Will bite on play-action and fakes and can be undisciplined at times when playing centerfield, letting receivers get behind him for big gains.
Ball Skills (5.0) - Does not do a good job locating the ball in the air, particularly when it comes to man coverage. Even when he can keep things in front of him, doesn't show that knack for anticipating throws and plays. At times, struggles when trying to take good angles when coming upfield to defend the run, losing track of the ballcarrier and being caught out of position.
Range (7.0) - Due to his speed, he has the ability to make plays all over the field, just simply didn't do that a lot at Wisconsin. Has the ability to cover ground when working as a centerfielder in the deep half and is quick to come upfield to defend run or underneath throws. Possesses good sideline-to-sideline range. Can play up in the box, but could improve defeating blocks and avoiding trash.
Based off my own grading system on a 9-point scale.
Developmental Starter (4.5) – A player right on the cusp of being a starter but may be lacking in at least one key area that limits their potential. If he becomes a starter, almost never becomes more than complementary guys as opposed to impact players due to struggles competing against quality NFL players. A solid mid-round pick that should be targeted early on Day 3. Players towards the upper end could sneak into the Top 100 picks.
Southward will take time to develop at the next level and will be best used as a reserve early on.
Southward is still developing as a football player, which means there is a chance that his best football is ahead of him. He switched to playing football in his final year of high school after starring as a basketball player and has shown steady growth over his collegiate career.
With the coaching changes that occurred in Wisconsin this past year, he was asked to play more man coverage against slot receivers as a senior, something he had hardly done previously. It showed as his technique, footwork, and balance need to improve. He struggled mightily against quality slot receivers such as Bruce Ellington of South Carolina.
But there's the belief that since he is still learning, that his technique and development as a cover safety could improve at the next level as he gets more comfortable.
The main thing to like about Southward is his athleticism. It was the main reason why he made the switch to football and why Wisconsin was willing to take a relative flyer on him by giving him a scholarship.
He's still raw, but it comes in as upside as he continues to develop a more natural feel for the game. That was the biggest knock on him at Wisconsin, as he didn't seem to possess that. He was an effective collegiate starter, but did not make a ton of plays compared to most quality collegiate safeties.
He's such an athlete that he can potentially get by as a stopgap starter even without developing that feel, but probably won't be a good one. He'll get exposed in coverage and he's not a good enough run defender to add significant value as a starter on defense. NFL teams will attack him and he'll become a liability that eventually will lead to his team moving on to another player.
But if he does start to develop that feel, he could become a capable starter. He's unlikely to be a top starter, but can be a solid, yet unspectacular starter in the same mold as ex-Miami Dolphins and current Houston Texans free safety Chris Clemons, who had similar measurables and playing-style coming out of Clemson in 2009. Clemons is a more physical hitter, but is an effective starter because he's solid in centerfield due to good range and ball skills.
A similar role for Southward would be ideal, but he at least possesses the versatility and ability to come up and play in the box to defend the run and cover slot receivers. Those are areas that he's unlikely to ever excel in and thus ideally, he'll be more of a zone safety that primarily works the back-end in Cover-1 or Cover-2. But he at least possesses the upside to get better vs. the run and in man coverage.
With a year or two in an NFL weight room, Southward could add a much-needed 10 or more pounds of muscle to become a more physical run defender. Relatively speaking, he's still in his infancy of learning man cover skills and technique, and thus there is reason to believe that he can get better there. But an NFL stadium is not a place where you want to be undergoing trial by fire, and thus the team that drafts him would be smart to redshirt him for at least one full season, if not two.
Jeff Hanisch-US PRESSWIRE
Dezmen Southward
Southward, as things stand right now, doesn't appear as a drastically different or better player than former starting free safety Thomas DeCoud.
Because of his superior speed, range and the possibility that he polishes his cover skills does mean that Southward has higher upside than DeCoud. But DeCoud's speed and range were his strongest traits, and he did have limited experience in man coverage, dating from his early days at Cal as a cornerback. So Southward isn't a drastically different player and there's really no telling if he continues developing and becomes a drastically better player.
But Southward should benefit from getting a redshirt year to similar to DeCoud had in 2008. Based off what I've seen and know about Southward, I highly doubt the Falcons are really expecting him to be a major contributor on defense as a rookie. His lack of experience and raw instincts make him a bad bet to garner anything more than a situational role in 2014 if/when the Falcons employ some six defensive backs in their dime sub-package. In that scenario, Southward can patrol the deep half where his speed and range can be a factor.
Since Southward doesn't have a ton of experience making secondary calls, it would be simply too much to ask him to take over as a starter as a rookie. Instead, the Falcons probably will expect Southward to be a backup to Dwight Lowery and William Moore, and soak up as much information as possible on the practice field and film room, before being expected to push for time in 2015.
As a rookie, Southward could be used on special teams, where his speed could be an asset in coverage. He did play some as a gunner at Wisconsin, although not a lot during his final year. But he could potentially be an upgrade in that capacity to Drew Davis as the team potentially looks for another option to employ opposite Antone Smith.
In 2015, as DeCoud did in 2009, Southward could be expected to compete for a starting free safety if he's ready. If he is, then he can be expected to grow and develop into a competent NFL starter. But as a third-round pick by the Falcons, he'll likely be afforded that opportunity even if he is not quite ready.
The major concern with Southward is the Falcons could be falling into the "Kerry Meier Trap" again. Meier was a player that had subpar speed and burst on tape, but had an impressive three-cone drill time at his pro day (6.56 seconds) suggesting developmental upside to become better at separating from coverage against NFL cornerbacks. Meier too was a relatively inexperienced player that had only made a conversion from quarterback to wide receiver as a sophomore at Kansas.
The harsh reality could be that Southward may simply be a better athlete than football player and may not quite as much developmental upside as his athletic tests indicated.
However, the main difference between Southward and Meier is that even if Southward does not develop further in the pros, he can still add decent depth at safety and help out on special teams. He can still run and tackle, and that will bring some value. In the case of Meier, a receiver that can't reliably separate from coverage is functionally useless. So I'm a bit more optimistic that Southward can at least earn a role in sub-packages, even if he never becomes a reliable starter.
Overall, I suspect Southward will add depth and help out on special teams this year. In 2015, I'm optimistic he can compete for and potentially win a starting job at free safety if he takes fully advantage of his redshirt year. I fully expect some growing pains for him, but the question will be whether he starts to round himself into a better player come in 2016. But in reality, the key for the Falcons will be improving the other positions on defense between now and then, moreso than relying on Southward to reach his full potential.
Like was the case with DeCoud, with other playmakers around Southward and asking him to be more of a complementary player than impact guy, he can get by. Unlike DeCoud however, I don't think you'll see Southward making as many plays, particularly in coverage. But he's a guy that has the intelligence and toughness to play his assignment and not make as many errors and negative plays as DeCoud was prone to do.
Southward has the potential to be an upgrade over DeCoud, but is probably at least two years away from reaching that. In the meantime, he can be a valuable role player and depth guy.

Re: Scouting Report: Dezmen Southward
Well, I hope you're vastly wrong, but don't suspect you are.
Getting Clemons for what, 3m?, would have been a far better move than getting a poor man's Clemons, that you hope becomes Clemons by year 3.
We could have Clemons now, not have a hole at FS, and could have taken a legit receiver in the 3rd.
This picks still makes very little sense to me. If he had that athleticism and tremendous ball skills....I'd get it. He'd then possess truly great upside. But without ball skills, and ball tracking ability, there's a very real limit to his upside, meaning it greatly reduces the risk you should be willing to take (high risk low reward isn't really a good bet.)
I simply don't see how it isn't far better to have Clemons at FS, and a Moncrief at WR (or even Scott Crichton/Kareem Martin at pass rusher.)

Big 12 formally introduces new commish Bowlsby
IRVING, Texas Bob Bowlsby was admittedly apprehensive when he first met with a group of Big 12 school presidents about becoming the league commissioner.
Like many other people, Bowlsby's image of the Big 12 was a league in danger of falling apart after losing four schools over a two-year period.
"What I found instead was a group of chief executive officers that were very committed to one another and very committed to the best principles of intercollegiate athletics," Bowlsby said Friday, when he was formally introduced as the Big 12's new commissioner. "I was very quickly put at ease."
After two summers of uncertainty when it appeared that the Big 12 was on the brink of collapse, and did lose four schools to three other conferences, the BCS league has gained a sense of stability moving forward with a new leader.
"I wouldn't have been interested if I had arrived at the interview and found that there was fragmentation," he said.
Bowlsby, the athletic director at Sanford the past six years, takes over the Big 12 on June 15. He will succeed interim Commissioner Chuck Neinas, who replaced the ousted Dan Beebe nine months ago.
"Bob Bowlsby is exactly the right person for the job. He's talented, a great communicator and cares deeply about student athletes," said University of Texas President Bill Powers, one of the three presidents who met with Bowlsby last week. "Our conference is strong and united and will grow even stronger under Bob's leadership."
Bowlsby said he stated his reservations to them and probed with questions about "how we got to where we've gotten."
The Big 12 will take 10 teams into next season, with the additions of TCU and West Virginia offsetting the departures of Texas A&M and Missouri to the SEC on July 1. Nebraska previously went to the Big Ten and Colorado to the Pac-12, the league Bowlsby will be leaving.
"I was very satisfied and probably it would be correct to say I was encouraged and impressed with the stability and mutual commitment," Bowlsby said.
Still, he knows one of his early initiatives has to be to ensure and convince others of the league's stability. He has to make sure they don't have the same perception of the Big 12 that he did from the outside.
Among other issues Bowlsby will face will be getting a new television deal done and determining the Big 12's future makeup, either remaining at 10 members or possibly adding more.
While saying he had no presumption of what direction the Big 12 would take regarding expansion, he laughed at what he called "one of the great ironies of college athletics right now" that the Big 12 has 10 members and the Big 10 where he once worked has 12.
"I'm not going to presume a direction that we would go," he said. "There's nothing magic about 11, 12 or 12. I come in with no preconceived notions of what the right number is. ... I'm pretty excited about the 10 institutions that we have."

3D Trick is at the down , read carefully please .
I had been explained a camera.
A - One film and one empty spool
B - There is a vertical slit between them.
C - Someone walks at the street and turn the cranck of the empty spool.
D - Film moves from its cassette to empty spool .
E - By this way slit expose the film continiously.
If you walk with the speed of crowded people and if the film moves with the peoples walking speed ,
you record meters long film without shutter mechanism.
The 3D Trick : When walking with this camera , If you record a object , car , crowd , building from many angles - this is a cinema camera and it records these many angles pictures continiously - you can create 3 D files with this camera like an stereo camera.

Indirect ROI: The right measurement for Facebook advertising
Marketers in the social business world are learning that Facebook ads are better at increasing awareness than producing direct return on investment.
This is troublesome for many companies who measure the ROI of each media tactic or channel individually and large companies who often have ROI requirements for individual media channels.
General Motors reassess Facebook ads
So when General Motors announced May 15 that it was reassessing its Facebook ad spend, some marketers and investors looking at the upcoming IPO for the social media behemoth got nervous – although not too nervous, since the outcome of the IPO was so successful.
The truth is that the first step in the "selling process" is awareness, and it is always suspect – sometimes even in the minds of buyers – where the first spark of awareness is ignited. Advertisers on Facebook don't have to wait for Super Bowl Sunday to reach mega millions of potential buyers. Over 500 million Facebook users log in every day. And, with Facebook's targeting capability, advertisers can send specific audiences specific messages about their products or services multiple times in a matter of days. Yet, potential buyers may experience still another medium – a billboard, newspaper ad, banner ad or TV/radio spot – when they are reminded of and then actually buy the product. So, the ROI may not be attributed to Facebook.
The psychology of messaging reach and frequency needs to align the touch points in the selling process with the media mix. Decades of communications research indicate that the frequency of messaging must exceed four touch points – and maybe more, depending on the price and the educational needs of the product benefits. Facebook provides a way for today's advertisers to "ramp up" the frequency of messaging cost effectively.

But perhaps the outgoing vice president felt being a lame duck is much better than beating a cartoon duck — especially on a technicality. Gore decided to return to private life, at least for now. Donald Pays Taxes, Mocks Hitler
Still, Donald Duck is a proven force with the electorate. His reluctant membership in The Mickey Mouse Club only proves his status as an outsider. His current work in House of Mouse on the Disney Channel reconfirms his enduring fame. And the sailor suit reminds voters of his commitment to the military.
Indeed, Donald has served this country. In World War II, the Roosevelt administration commissioned him to appear in The New Spirit, a 1942 film that stressed that paying your taxes promptly was the job of every patriotic American.
Ducks usually like their bills — but not their tax bills. However, when irritable Donald sees the terrible threat of the Nazi war machine, he hightails it Washington to personally deliver his share to the Treasury Department (which paid for the film).
Later, in the Oscar-winning Der Fuehrer's Face (originally titled Donald in Nutziland), our hero is forced to work as a virtual slave in a Nazi munitions factory, where he gets beaten up for not saluting Hitler.
Donald wakes up to find that he's no Nazi. It's all been a nightmare, and he is still living in Disneyland.
But if Donald ever has to leave, it's comforting to know that he has a home and political future abroad. If you throw in some meatballs and an Ikea discount, he might even bring Mickey and Goofy.

How to Tame Those Pesky PO420 Codes
When it comes to service issues on today's vehicles, the difficulty in correctly diagnosing and evaluating catalytic converter problems has to be at top of the list. One of the most annoying is the persistent PO420 diagnostic code (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1), which not only shows its teeth when the catalytic converter is on the blink, but can also be generated by a variety of engine problems not directly related to the converter.
Possible PO420 code causes
The following engine related problems are known to generate the PO420 code:
- Intake manifold air leaks
- Fuel injector problems (leaks)
- Incorrect spark plugs
- Ignition timing
- EGR problem
- Defective catalytic converter
- Oil or antifreeze entering exhaust
- O2 sensor not operating correctly
- Road damage to converter
- Silicone contamination
Most, if not all, catalytic converter failures are caused by a problem or malfunction somewhere in the emission system ahead of the converter. So, it's very important to determine what actually caused the converter to fail, so that the problem can be repaired and a recurrence can be prevented.
Here are some troubleshooting suggestions:
Testing the converter:
Method 1: Vacuum test
Connect a vacuum gauge to the vacuum on the intake manifold, carburetor, or throttle body. Note the reading at idle. Then raise and hold engine speed at 3,000 RPM. The needle will drop when you first open the throttle, but should then rise and level off. If the vacuum reading starts to drop, pressure may be backing up in the exhaust system indicating a blockage somewhere in the exhaust system.
Method 2: Backpressure test
Measure backpressure directly. If vehicle's engine has air injection, disconnect the check valve from the distribution manifold and connect a low pressure gauge. Or, remove the oxygen sensor and take your reading at its port in the manifold or head pipe. A reading of more than 1.25 PSI at idle or more than 3 PSI at 2,000 RPM tells you there's an exhaust restriction.
Method 3: Temperature test
In late model engines with fuel injection, the combustion is so efficient that the converter has little to process and the difference between the inlet and outlet temperatures may only be 50 ºF at 2,500 RPM. This is a lot less than the old rule of thumb that says a good converter should show at least a 100 ºF difference. At idle, the converter in many late-model vehicles may cool down so much that there's almost no measurable difference between the front and back temperatures. So checking exhaust temperatures front and back of the converter at idle and 2,500 RPM may not be an accurate way to determine if the converter is working or not.
Watch out for RVT silicone contamination
Silicone-based products or Teflon sealants should not be used on any part of the exhaust system. They are not designed to operate at high exhaust temperatures and will out gas, causing damage to O2 sensors. Below are some examples of O2 sensors contamination caused by the use of RTV silicone on exhaust manifold flanges and other components as well as Teflon-type sealants used on O2 sensors.
Typical contamination problems:

Don't attempt to fix and detect complex vehicle repair concerns. The things you may see being a simple resolve can actually be extremely challenging, specifically in the more recent electrical vehicles and also the modern computerized cars. Enable the difficulty. Allow them to have all the details on which occurred and the things you observed, and allow them to analyze the difficulty.
Using these recommendations, you should be in a better position to take care of any car fixes that slip up. Once your automobile has troubles, you'll anticipate to take on them now. You might be worthy of a very good vehicle.

I think the tag cloud idea is probably one of the best organizational ideas worth experimenting with right now as an aid to end user usage needs which focus primarily on application installation. I think a more heretical categorization and classification of the software package may have merit as a reference service for developers looking for the 'right' development library for their project. But I think that sort of thing would really requiring developing informed opinions about mature library classification concepts as a guide. We could spend years debating traditional brick and mortar library cataloguing system and still not come to agreement over adapting Bliss or Library of Congress style classification. Just a couple of questions. As a percentage of our current packaging catalog... How many packages provide an executable in the standard paths (and libexec ) ? How many packages provide a .desktop file and appear in the menus? These are the subset of package I would expect crowd tagging to be most popular for. -jef

Basketball Odds: Chicago Bulls @ Boston Celtics Pick
- Updated: January 13, 2012
Two of the top contenders in the Eastern Conference meet in Beantown in NBA betting action on ESPN on Friday night, as the Chicago Bulls try to bounce the Boston Celtics.
The BTB Expert Handicappers have NBA picks for all of the big games on the docket. Click Here to cash in with your guaranteed basketball picks today!
There has been a lot of talk about how impressive the Miami Heat have been, but we must remind all that it was Chicago that went on a West Coast swing to start the season and lived to tell about it. Miami… not so much… The Bulls are the first team in the NBA to make it to 10 wins on the season, and they are doing it in very impressive fashion. There are definitely some question marks for Friday's game, as Richard Hamilton, Derrick Rose, CJ Watson, and Joakim Noah all show up on the injury report with various ailments. Rose sat out on Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards, but the Bulls didn't need him, as they rolled 78-64. It was an ugly lineup that night, as Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer were really the only two regulars in the lineup. John Lucas had to take 28 shots, especially with Noah battling his injury and only playing 19 minutes in the entire game. If Rose is out of the lineup in this one, we have a lot less confidence that Lucas can take over as the starting point guard and get the job done against a team that has the potential to be one of the best defensively in the NBA.
Though we tend to think that the Celtics will ultimately be fine when push comes to shove, this 4-5 start to the season has to be worrisome for Head Coach Doc Rivers. His team already looks old, and it hasn't started these back-to-back-to-back games in three different cities quite yet either. The men that are really picking this team up are Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo, as the likes of Paul Pierce, and especially Kevin Garnett are really starting to show their age. The addition of Brandon Bass was huge, but losing out on Kendrick Perkins at the trade deadline last year is really proving to hurt, especially now that the man that was picked up in the flip for Perkins was Jeff Green, who won't play a game this year. The C's have lost back-to-back games here on the Parquet Court, and that is brutally bad news for a team that has some very tough games ahead.
Chicago Bulls @ Boston Celtics Trends: The Celtics have played terribly on Friday, for whatever that is worth, as they are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 dating back to last season on this day of the week. The home team has won five in a row in this series, but the Bulls are the hot ATS team. They are 5-1 ATS in their last six. Eight of the last nine clashes here in Beantown have gone past the 'total', but the last two meetings, both of which were at the United Center, failed to reach the mark.

2009 Missouri
2009 Missouri
Defense |
2009 Missouri Depth
2008 Missouri Preview
2007 Missouri Preview |
2006 Missouri Preview
What you need to know:
After a rough year, allowing 412 yards per
game, with most of them coming through the air, the defense has
to hope that all the good athleticism and speed recruited over
the last few years will pay off with big season. Only four
starters return, but the cupboard is hardly bare with Sean
Weatherspoon one of the nation's best linebackers to work
around, and tackle Jaron Baston a good leader who should
dominate at times. The secondary did a whole bunch of nothing
last season, so replacing three starters isn't that big a deal.
There is an upgrade at corner with Kevin Rutland appearing to be
ready to become fantastic, while Kenji Jackson could turn out to
have a better free safety than the much-heralded William Moore
The line has to find pass rushers, but there are plenty of good
options to choose from with Aldon Smith, Brian Coulter, and
Jacquies Smith all appearing to be ready to shine.
Weatherspoon, 155
Sean Weatherspoon, 5
Interceptions: Sean Weatherspon, 3
Defensive Line
Projected Starters:
Only one starter
returns up front, and he's a good one. 6-1, 305-pound senior
Jaron Baston stepped in for all-star Lorenzo Williams and
earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors making 49 tackles with a sack
and eight tackles for loss. The leader of the line and an anchor on the
nose, he grew into the role after originally being a strong end
prospect. He keeps on getting better, and now he might be one of the
team's most important players as the one who should become a bigger-name
Trying to replace top pass rusher Stryker Sulak and become the team's
new playmaker in the backfield might be Aldon Smith, a
dangerous prospect with a world of upside at the end. The 6-5, 245-pound
redshirt freshman has the size, the speed, and the closing speed to be a
force in either a situational role or as a breakout star who can do it
all. No matter what his role, he'll be a huge part of the mix with as
much talent as any end the program has had under Gary Pinkel.
Taking up space on the inside will be Terrell Resonno,
a 6-6, 295-pound sophomore who stepped up as a true freshman, after
being considered one of the team's top recruits, making 13 tackles.
He'll take over Ziggy Hood's spot, and while he might not be a star like
Hood was right away, he has all-star upside with good quickness and
6-4, 240-pound sophomore Jacquies Smith was a spot
starter last season, working in a rotation with Tommy Chavis, making 46
tackles with a sack and three tackles for loss. Mizzou basically stole
him out of Dallas a few years ago, and now he appears ready to shine in
the full-time role with tremendous quickness and tackle-toughness
against the run.
Projected Top Reserves: Former Florida State
Seminole Brian Coulter went the JUCO route on the way
to Columbia and was a nice pass rusher last season making three sacks
and 29 tackles. He had problems with a torn labrum in his left shoulder,
and he missed spring ball, but he's a good talent who'll be a part of
the rotation at one end.
6-5, 255-pound sophomore Chris Earnhardt is a promising
end who saw a few reps on the inside to utilize his quickness and
toughness. He made 17 tackles in seven games of work, doing most of his
damage against Nevada, and now he's being given every shot at a starting
spot. If he can become a steady pass rusher, he'll be hard to keep out
of the starting lineup.
Working in the middle, if he can stay healthy, will be 6-4, 305-pound
Andy Maples adding more size behind Resonno. The
superstar JUCO transfer was supposed to play a huge role right away as a
ready-made interior presence, but he had problems with a foot injury
that never healed. He only played in two games and didn't show off what
he could do. The senior might be a breakout star.
Sophomore Dominique Hamilton stepped up in his first
year making 18 tackles as a key backup on the nose. At 6-6 and 290
pounds he's a big presence who engulfs ball carriers and has all-star
potential once he sees more playing time. As soon as he started making
more plays in the backfield, he'll be too good to keep out of the
Watch Out For ... Aldon
Smith. While he'll be a part of a rotation on the outside, he could be
special with a little bit of time. He has the speed, the size, and the
athleticism to be the pass rusher who camps out in opposing backfields
on a regular basis.
Strength: Fantastic talent. Missouri went from
having good players who played over their heads, to getting star
recruits who everyone else wanted. There might be growing pains to work
through, but this is a supremely talented line that will make up for
problems with sheer skill.
Weakness: New starters. There might be a world of
talented players waiting for their turn at bat, but losing three
starters will still mean a bit of a growing period. Ziggy Hood and
Stryker Sulak were special playmakers who will be missed.
Outlook: The line went from inconsistent to
dominant, at times, making 103 tackles for loss and 33 sacks while
holding teams to 125 rushing yards per game. This year's line is more
talented, but it's going to take a while before all the young stars
start to shine. There will be a good rotation by the middle of the
season that keeps everyone fresh and productive. Give this group time
and it could be special.
Rating: 7.5
Projected Starters:
If Sean Weatherspoon
isn't the best linebacker in college football, he's in the discussion.
Steady, consistent, and with huge hitting ability, he followed up a
130-tackle season with 155 stops, five sacks, 18.5 tackles for loss and
three interceptions. At 6-2 and 245 pounds, the senior is a big weakside
defender who's a guided missile when he gets a bead on a ball-carrier
and has unlimited range in both pass coverage and against the run. A
first-team All-Big 12 star and Bednarik Award semifinalist, he's the
unquestioned leader and star of a young but talented defense that will
funnel everything his way. Not just a highlight reel playmaker, "Spoon"
brings it game in and game out making 20 tackles against Buffalo and 17
against Northwestern in the Alamo Bowl. While he's not needed as a pass
rusher, he can get to the quarterback and provide pressure when he has
Junior Luke Lambert started nine games on the
strongside, but he only came up with 58 tackles with a sack. While he
doesn't put up the big numbers, he's a good, sound defender who's also a
star on special teams. Able to play inside or out, he has a non-stop
motor and doesn't miss a tackle when he gets to the ball. While he's not
huge at 6-3 and 235 pounds, he'll move to the middle in place of Brock
With Lambert moving to the middle, 6-3, 230-pound junior Andrew
Gachkar will step in on the strongside after making 28 tackles.
A tough hitter and a tough special teamer, he overcame a blood clot
problem to be a star reserve, and now he appears to be ready to become
one of the team's top tacklers. He'll come up with a few highlight reel
knockout shots, but he'll hurt himself along the way with his physical
Projected Top Reserves:
6-3, 235-pound junior Jeff Gettys
was a star walk-on who became a tremendous special teamer. He's a decent
athlete who'll once again make the most noise on special teams, but he's
willing to do anything on defense either on the strongside or the middle
after finishing last season with six tackles with an interception
against Nevada.
Backing up Weatherspoon on the weakside will be Cornell Ellis,
a 6-0, 230-pound redshirt freshman with excellent quickness and
punch-packing hitting ability. This year will be all about being the
understudy with Weatherspoon rarely coming out. He'll be a leading
tackler next year.
Sophomore Will Ebner made 21 tackles with three tackles
for loss as a backup in the middle, and while he'll be a key part of the
rotation at some point this year, he has to get over a shoulder injury.
Purely a middle linebacker, he's a tone-setter of a hitter who'll make
big pops all over the field. However, he has to make sure he doesn't
hurt himself when he's erasing ball carriers.
Watch Out For ... a regular rotation on the
strongside. Weatherspoon and Lambert are sure things, but it might take
a while to find the one guy ready to star at the third spot. Gachkar is
ready to get a shot, but Gettys and others will make a push.
Strength: Weatherspoon. On a promising defense
that needs as many veteran leaders as possible, "Spoon" is the star of
the show. He doesn't make every play himself; it just seems like it at
Weakness: Production against the top running
teams. The Tiger linebacking corps was great against the teams that
couldn't do much on the ground, but Oklahoma, Texas, and Oklahoma State
ran without a problem. Coming up with more stops at the line, rather
than five yards down the field, will be a must against the better ground
Outlook: Thanks to the play of Weatherspoon, this
was a good linebacking corps that teetered on greatness at times last
season. With Lambert playing an expanded role and with several promising
new players in the mix, everything will be fine as long as "Spoon" is on
the field to clean up the messes. The line will take care of most of the
work so there won't need to be too much blitzing. This group should be
able to focus on taking care of its own space, and it should do a good
job of it.
Rating: 7.5
Defensive Backs
Projected Starters:
The secondary was a disaster last
year, so it shouldn't hurt too much to lose William Moore, the
star free safety who had a disappointing season compared to the
hype. 5-10, 195-pound sophomore Kenji Jackson
was good enough to become a starter in nickel packages by the
end of last year, and when Mizzou went to a 4-2-5 alignment. and
finished with 62 tackles with two interceptions. Extremely fast,
he has tremendous range and should be able to do far more
against the pass now that he has the free safety job.
Taking over for Justin Garrett at strong safety will be
Hardy Ricks, a 6-0, 200-pound veteran who made 39
tackles as a key reserve. Versatile enough to play either safety
spot, the senior has found time in several places in the
secondary and is one of the team's most experienced defensive
backs. A big hitter who lives off of delivering the knockout
punch, his job will be to make the routing plays while not
getting himself hurt with his shots. He suffered a shoulder
injury a few years ago.Returning to one corner spot, and
the only returning starter, is 5-11, 200-pound junior
Carl Gettis. While he was a good tackler with 78 stops,
he only picked off one pass and broke up four. Even with his
problems against the pass he earned honorable mention All-Big 12
honors and has excellent upside. He's better against the
physical receivers than the big ones, but now he just needs to
make more plays. The team's best corner as the
season goes on should be Kevin Rutland, a 6-0,
195-pound junior who made 25 tackles with an interception and
five broken up passes. Able to play anywhere in the secondary,
he has seen time everywhere and is expected to be special after
a strong spring and an overall improvement in his game. If he's
not the team's fastest player, he's second.
Projected Top Reserves:
Looking to make a bigger impact at free
safety is Del Howard after making 41 tackles
with just one broken up pass. the 5-11, 200-pound senior is
great against the run and has proven that he can step in when
needed and be more than fine, getting starts against SE Missouri
and Buffalo, and now he'll push Jackson in the rotation.
After waiting a year, former Notre Dame corner Munir
Prince is available and will work behind Rutland at one
spot. He can also move to free safety if needed, but he'll need
on-field time after spending his limited career for the Irish at
running back. While he's not huge at 5-10 and 185 pounds, he's
one of the team's fastest players with 4.3 wheels.5-11,
190-pound sophomore Trey Hobson has a nice
blend of speed and toughness at corner. While he'll have to
fight for playing time with Prince and several redshirt
freshmen, he's one of the team's most experienced backups making
16 tackles. One of the team's better athletes, he plays bigger
than his size because of his leaping ability. He'll find a spot
Watch Out For ... Rutland. The Mizzou secondary is
full of great athletes and plenty of speedsters, Rutland stands
out. It has taken a few years for the football side of the
equation to come around, but he appears to have it all together
now and he should be the team's best corner.
Strength: Speed and tackling. It's a nice
combination to have in a group of defensive backs. The Tiger DBs
can move. Really move. They can also provide a big pop, almost
to a negative with too many big shots being taken when the
routine would do just fine.
Weakness: Interceptions from the corners. This has
been a big issue for the last few seasons with the corners
coming up with just three picks last year. Overall, the
secondary has to make far more big plays when the ball is in the
Outlook: The secondary was awful last season for
several reasons. Teams had to fire away to try to keep up the
pace with the Tiger offense, the Big 12 was full of great
passers, and, well, the DBs just stunk. The pass defense gave up
300 yards or more in the final four games, and while it's one
thing to get bombed on by Kansas or Oklahoma, Iowa State went
nuts, too. This year's secondary isn't starting over, but it
only gets back one starter and has to hope that the speed and
athleticism across the board can translate into production.

Special Teams
Projected Starters:
Jeff Wolfert finished his career as
the most accurate kicker in the history of college football. Columbia
native Tanner Mills will get the first shot at taking
over, and while he'll have major competition, he has a booming leg on
kickoffs. Sophomore Trey Barrow will be given every
shot to win the job.Back to punt is Jake Harry
after averaging 40.7 yards per kick. The former JUCO transfer was fine,
and Missouri finished 16th in the nation in net punting, but he only put
ten inside the 20. That's because he only had to attempt 26 punts. The
rugby-style kicker is a good one the team can count on.
Watch Out For ... Mills. He's not going to be Wolfert,
but he has a booming leg and will get plenty of tries from deep. Wolfert
hit just one of five shots from beyond the 50. Mills will connect on
Strength: Harry. He was consistent and came up big
when counted on. He turned a major negative into a strength.
Weakness: The return game. Can you return kicks?
If so, you have a shot at replacing Jeremy Maclin. It'll be an open
casting call to find the best kick and punt return options.
Outlook: The Missouri special teams were terrific
in every phase but kickoff coverage. This year, there's a big question
mark at placekicker and a huge hole in the return game losing Maclin.
There won't be too much of an overall slip, but there will be at least
one time this year when not having Wolfert will cost the Tigers a game.
